HT1766 How restore just one app data?

Can one restore just the backup data for a single app? If not, how is this usually handled, say if there is some crash in the app?

I guess the easiest way to explain it is that whatever data or files were in that app on that day that you created the backup will be restored fully and will look exactly like they did on that day.
Lets say you are using a Word Processor app for example. You make changes to say several files on a certain day. You create a backup that night. The next day you made changes to all those files again. You don't backup this time. Something goes bad the next day, and you need to restore from the backup. When you restore from that backup, those files will be exactly as they were on the day that you last backed up.
The only thing is - every file in every app on the iPad is also restored to the way it looked in that last backup. If you have spreadsheet files that you had worked on and revised on the day that you backed up - made changes the next day - that day that you did not backup - when you restore from the backup - those files revert to the way they were on the day that you backed up. The entire iPad will "look like" it did on the day that you backed up the last time.

Most of the time - iTunes will create a backup when you sync. It will overwrite the previous backup when it does. I like to be proactive and create my own backups after I sync, just in case.
Finally - You have to make the choice to restore from the backup and have to initiate it on your own. The link that I provided above explains how to so it, whether you use iTunes or iCloud for your backups.

Can you restore just one app?

Could not sync backup after updating to 4.2. decided to set up as new iPad. Really only two apps that had data I would like to recover. Is there a way to recover data from a single app at a time rather than try the complete restore process that hangs about a third of the way.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save the data for individual apps unless those apps use iOS file sharing and you can transfer the files to your computer or send the files/documents using DropBox.
There simply is no practical way to troubleshoot this without just adding one app at a a time to the iPad until the problem creeps up again. That entails deleteing all of the apps and starting over again.

HT1766 How do I restore just one app and its data to a new device without overwriting what is already on the device?

I have an iphone and a New ipad. When I set up my ipad, I had already had my iphone backed up on iCloud. I didn't however, use the backup to set up the iPad, so some of the apps don't have the same data on both devices. This is mostly fine with me. I was able to sync my games so that I can play the games on both devices and not lose any data or progress in the game. There is only one game that I haven't been able to get onto the ipad with the progress that I have made, even though it's been backed up on the iCloud. Now both devices are being backed up on the iCloud. Some information is shared between them, some not. I have no idea why it's arbitrary which info is shared. But I would like to get the one game (and perhaps a few other apps) to sync between the devices. Is there a way to do this by targeting specific apps and their respective data?

The game that we are playing is called Swordigo ... A Zelda type game just FYI. When I installed the app I went into the Settings>Swordigo>sync saves to iCloud>On. That set it up to sync up to three different saves in iCloud because that is what this game offers.
Then my daughter downloaded the app to her iPad ( the original one that I gave her when I upgraded to the new one). We share an Apple ID for purchases.
When either of us launches the game on our iPads - the option to start from either save is already available in the game. The game supports this. Not all games will support it but you make it sound like your game does sync saves to iCloud.
There is a difference between saving data to iCloud and syncing game saves. The beauty of the syncing of saves is that I could download this game to my iPod touch as well and still pick up my "saved" game from iCloud,

How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it. All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this? I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
Thanks!

Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean

Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
/Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

How do I recover Apps Data from the iCloud on iPhone 4S with IOS 6.1?

How do I recover Apps Data from the iCloud on iPhone 4S with IOS 6.1?

You would have to restore to your entire iCloud backup, if you have one. (The backup includes app data.) Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Can I restore just One Application through time machine? (vs. Migration)

Hi. I've reformatted my Mac
Instead of Migration Assistant
I want to restore just ONE application (Microsoft Office)
1. I've plugged in my Time Machine
2. Time Machine is Not Configured
3. I Browse Other Time Machine Disks
4. I Use Selected Disk
5. I go to my latest Restore pane
6. I click around until I find the Application Folder
7. I click on Microsoft Office, and I press Restore
Am I doing it correctly? Or am I simply just Drag and Dropping into my Application Folder on my newly reformatted Mac?
Thanks in advance.

That's probably not going to work. When you installed Office, it almost certainly installed other files in other places, and perhaps some "helper" apps, in addition to the main app. Unless you know what and where all those things are, and restore them, too, it's not likely to work well, if at all.
See [Transferring Applications|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/TransferApps.html] for details.
Your best bet is to reinstall it from the original disc.

How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application. Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb

This is ridiculous!
Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
This is bad for:
1. The user (me)
2. The app developer - lost download.
3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

How to move all app data from one user to another? (One mac)

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while. So recently, I've made a new account for myself, since I was using my mom's user account. I don't want to keep all of my files, emails, and icloud on her user, since it's used by everyone in my family. I use iMail now because hotmail blocked my email because "Someone hacked me" and they kept it locked for all these months, and I can't give enough proof to show it was mine, since I forgot every email I've sent now.
And iMail is pretty cool, adding your own rules and stuff. Except you don't need a password to log in. I just deactivate my iMail via system preferences as a log-out, and then re-activate it as a log-in.
So, back to the question.
How can I move ALL app data from my mom's user account to my new one? Her acount also has pictures of our germany vacation. So not every file.
You see, I game on my mac mostly because steam is really complicated, using internet just to play a game that doesn't need internet and stuff.
And steam doesn't have a lot of casual games.
So I want to move my game data, save files and every little piece of application info that my games have on my mom's account to mine. I've asked this question on Yahoo answers, and all I got was an answer of "File IS data, or datum itself, You are wrong. I cannot give you an answer." -.-
I'm not experienced with terminal either, so I'll need a ton of explanation of how to use it if that's how it can be done. It really really confuses me and I'll just give up.
Thanks in advance.
