How to reset iPad without losing game progress

Hi! I would like to reset my IPad 2 back to factory settings, as if it is a new iPad, but I do not want to lose all my game progress. I have 2 games that I'm not sure what will happen to.
I tried researching this myself online and it seems like as long as I backup to icloud before resetting, I won't lose game progress. Is this true?
Thanks for the help!

Game Center only saves games achievement. It never saves game progress. It is up to the developer as to whether they have built in the feature to save game progress.
Not sure if this is true (I don't have that game) but after doing a quick google search, it appears you can save Sims Freeplay progress to the Cloud. I also think you can connect it to Facebook. Maybe someone else on the forum can verify this?

I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?)

Resetting iPad without losing iCloud content

I just bought an iPad from a friend that is linked to his cloud account which has all his contacts and documents that he doesn't want to lose.
How do I reset the iPad without losing any of his vital files in the cloud?

If he sold you his iPad, he should have absolved you of any responsibility for this. If he has another iDevice such as an iPhone, or iPod Touch, his contacts and documents will be available in his iCloud account on those devices.
Have him read this.

You bought the iPad from him, it is up to him to do this and you really shouldn't be responsible for this at all.

HT1212 How to reset password without losing data

Hi apple community, How do I restore an Ipod without losing data that hasn't been backed up? The photos in question were dowloaded onto the ipod from a digital camera via itunes.After downloading the computer crashed and all data was irretrievably lost.I wonder, if I reset to factory settings, will I lose all those photos? Thanks. Even before my daughter forgot her password it wouldn't let me transfer the photos from the ipod back onto the computer. I hope someone can help! Thanks.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Symbian^3 - How to reset settings without losing m...

I have a problem with applications created using nokiaappwizard crashing as soon as the window opens.
As we cannot renstall the Web browser by itself, is there any way of performing a settings reset alone for the phone without losing any data particularly messages.
(This is important because I have done a *#7780# reset 2 times for this and another reason before, but each time a variable number of my messages got restored. Once 300 out of around 1100 and another time 600 out of 1100. And they never managed to restore right - I lost many important messages I had stored in user created folders within the messaging application.)
I have tried changing the SIM. It fixed an error "Conn Failed : Connection Unavailable" but it could not fix this application crash.
NOTE : I am able to use the Web browser if I launch it independently. But if it has to run an appwizard application, it opens a blank window frame and then crashes without giving any error.
The standard Nokia Care solution of resetting is not feasible due to reason I have mentioned above.
I am looking for any user invented ingenious workaround
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It certainly seems that there is some underlying error in your firmware.
Personally I think you are going to have to re install the firmware on your phone.
I know you don't want to lose important messages, however I would try your best to back them up, and if they are that important, maybe copy the details into a word document, just to be safe.
It seems as though there is an underlying software issue which is not going to be fixed by some ingenious workaround unfortunately.
Maybe someone else can suggest another way around?

Transfer Apple ID for apps on iPad without losing game data

I have 2 ipads. My wife mom passed away so my wife took over iPad. The ipad has my apple id. Then the 2nd iPad belongs to my dad and he passed away year ago. I have took over with my apple id. the problem is there are handful of apps will not update because some of apps asking for my brother and pvz2 asking my nephew id. My son is playing multiple apps for example minion rush, dragon vale and plants vs zombie. I have purchased the apps on first iPad. But the major of the data is much bigger and advanced on the 2nd iPad. If i have already taken over both iPad with my id how come i cannot find setting to switch id. This isn't easy. Im new to mac so ipad is completely different than the mac, is there way to save the data. I cannot use iTunes because it only backs up data I own on the 2nd ipad. I am leary on 3rd party software for example i-explore. need to take over my id so the app can update. There was some articles about how to turn off document and data. however the settings have changed since I have updated iOS on both to 8.3. ugh

Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to download or purchase them. This cannot be changed.

How to reset ipad without taking picture?

My photo stream is full of screenshots from the iPad. Since day one everytime I hold home and wake buttons, first thing it does is take a picture and then after about 30 seconds it finally resets. It does not take 10 seconds, closer to 30.

It shouldn't take a picture. Usually, to take a screen shot you press and release the buttons. To do a reset you hold them down continuously unitl you see the silver apple.
I've reset mine several times and never taken a screen shot, but stuff happens. You can always make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it. Maybe something isn't quite right inside.

My ipod is completely locked out. My passcode has a t in it, but for some reason it won't let me press t. Can someone tell me how to reset it without losing everything? Or is there another way..

Please can someone help me fix this? Has anyone else had this problem?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

How to reset mac without losing itunes

My daughter gave me her old macbook pro. I would like to restore it to the factory settings but don't want to lose our itunes account and music. Is this possible?

do u have apple id.
use icloud
"iCloud" doesn't work that way. It cannot be used for general backup of data. That's what Time Machine is for.
@jlwanner, either use Time Machine to do a complete backup of the computer to an external HDD before you restore it, or simply drag-n-drop the entire iTunes folder to an external HDD which you can then drag-n-drop back to the restored MBP after restoring it.
Follow this post to restore the MBP to factory specs: Re: restore macbook to original factory settings.
Once restored it is critcally important you start backing up your personal data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
