HT4847 Why would I back up games and other apps in iCloud? If I don't back them up (to free storage space) what happens if I lose my phone? Thanks
So I've never asked a question before and and unsure why I have to re-ask it here but here goes. I received an e-mail that my iCloud storage id full on my iPhone4. I see that I have every app backed up? What does that do for me? Why would I want to back up games, or SiriusXM, things like CNN, Skype apple store? And what happens if i don't back them up and lose my phone?
Thanks
Gerri
If one day you need to restore from a backup due to stolen, replaced, or corrupted system on a device, apps not included in the backup will not have their data files restored. I don't turn on a lot of my apps since I don't care about any data they may store (e.g. CNN recent stories or game points). But I suspect that these apps contribute very little to total backup space. It's the camera roll and apps like Goodreader that store a lot of PDF and other files locally that pad up a backup.

I have an iphone 4s and have installed the new ios download and can no longer find games and other apps that i have downloaded. Where would they be or have they been wiped?
Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?
Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this? -

Launchpad deletion question mark on steam games and other apps
Hello, when in launchpad some icons if double clicked have a question mark that appears than if you hold them down the jiggle and the black x appears unlike before you double clicked it what does this mean? As an example I created a desktop shorcut for a steam game and put the icon in launchpad than I dumped the icon on the desktop in the trash. When I tried to use the jiggly method to delete the launchpad icon no x appeared but when I double clicked it a question mark appeared and than the little black x? Has what I did damaged the game or app ina anyway?
They may be in Users/your_name/Library/Application Support depending on how they were installed.

To Whom It May Concern:
I bought a Mastercard Giftcard for $50 the other day. It was only because the games needed updating before I could play them again, and my card on file had expired.
I kept getting a message stating the the card was declined. Also, it kept telling me to try to put in another card, or different form of payment.
I tried several times to get the MC to go through, and it didn't. It was not even showing that the card info even updated!
When I went to check the amount of the giftcard, there were 4 pending charges of $10.89 on it.
How do I get this money back? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Queenie from TexasI did but that was from a month before, I want pics I took after that backup time. It deleted without my consent like this is not cool. I had recent pics from my trip.

I've tried going through several outlets, I cannot seem to figure out how to install the actual icon/program (the Apps Store) onto my iPod Touch. All I have on there is iTunes, Safari--and the bare minimum that it came with . I'm trying to install the App Store onto my iPod Touch so that I can sync games onto it--and try to use it to its fullest potential....Please help?
- You need at least iOS 2 for apps. Go to Settings>General>About>version to find the iOS version. If you have a 1G iPod you can get the last update for that model here:
Identifying iPod models
-- The app store can also be hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>general>Restrictions to check
- Have you used the Spotlight search, maybe you just can't find it. -

After syncing I lost my iBooks and other apps. How do I recover them?
I lost my iBooks and other apps aftery syncing. How do I recover them?
If they are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them back across to the iPad. If they are not on your computer, then as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I download Fruit Ninja but it failed bec of it's MB but I was billed so why would I pay such game when it was not successfully downloaded in my ipad2? If I cud install it then I shall pay the thing.
You paid for it because you bought it, there is nothing stopping you from now downloading it. If it is over 20 meg in size then you either need to switch to a wifi network on your iPad (there is a 20 meg limit per file over 3G), or try downloading it on your computer and then either sync it across to the iPad or drag-and-drop it from the Apps library in iTunes over and onto your iPad 'device'.
If you can connect the iPad to wifi then re-try downloading it (re-downloading) - f it currently shows as 'waiting' on the screen then try a reset and see if it resumes downloading after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Using Flash to develop to games and mobile apps
This semester I registered for an online course called Motion Graphics with my college.
The course was supposed to be an introduction to Adobe Flash and Adobe After Effects.
I signed up for the class specifically because I wanted to learn Adobe Flash to create games and mobile apps.
Unfortunately, it turns out that as of this semester my college is phasing out Adobe Flash from all of its courses,
and the course I signed up for is now only teaching After Effects and won't be teaching Flash at all.
I asked the course instructor about this, and she said it was because "flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash." [sic]
Is this even a factual statement?
My college still offers several Java-related courses, but I really would have preferred to learn Flash and ActionScript instead.
I suppose my primary question here is:
Would it be better to learn Flash or to learn Java to create apps and games that can run on all of the most common platforms (e.g. Android, iOS, Windows)?To be on topic, the course is about "motion graphics", and After Effects is an excellent, highly used tool in that trade. When creating video, Flash is used much less because it's very inferior. Again, in "motion graphics". With a robust expression scripting language in After Effects, Flash lost its footing in this department. Flash was probably only previously part of that course to deploy your video to the web, but it's not necessary or desirable due to (as kglad mentioned) Adobe discontinued Flash Player for mobile. Your target just changed to outputting MP4.
What you want to do, make apps, is a completely different world. Adobe AIR SDK is a great, frequently updated runtime that I've made dozens of apps with. Java is used with the Android SDK to make native Android apps. Objective-C with Xcode and the iOS SDK is used to make native iOS apps. Visual Studio and Azure (or HTML5/JS/CSS) are used to make Windows apps. The big difference here is the AIR SDK can get a good return on investment from re-using most of the code base of your app (depending on its type) by its scripting language porting to Android, iOS (and I think still Blackberry tabs), not Windows however.
If you want to make apps, you took the wrong class.
There are numerous frameworks out there similar to AIR that can deploy to multiple targets that are worth consideration on their own. From specific frameworks (like game-oriented) such as Unity to extremely abstract (used for anything) like Phonegap and standard HTML5 web development.
I haven't used Flash to make anything like a website in almost a decade. It's strictly been device apps, desktop apps, kiosks and product demonstrations. It's an extremely capable IDE for just about everything, except modern motion graphics. -
Went looking for fun movies to download for my holidays. Found Sixteen Candles and others for £3.99, great! Went to download them this morning on wifi and ***! All movies are now £6.99 each. Total RIP OFF for old movies. Why oh why iTunes? Stop being so greedy and make older movies a more reasonable price. I would buy a lot more, it's just false economy in my book. Don't get me started on the difference in price with the US.
Stop being so greedy iTunes!
Anyone know how I can get cheaper movies?Apple won't read your post here since this is a user to user forum. Provide feedback:

Can't connect to the iTunes Store -
i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.
Do what iTunes is telling you to do. Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you. Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them. Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.
