If I restore my ipod will my game progress be lost

I need to restore my sons ipod, will his game progress be restored too or will it all be lost?

Not if you back it up, then restore the backup after restoring it. The backup includes app data. In the case of games, this normally includes game progress.

After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
My Question is this;
What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
Thanks

Two ways.
- You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
- Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

HT1339 I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up???

I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up??? My ipod won't let me delete any photos, or download any apps, so I turned it off and back on when the itunes and usb symboyl appeared I just download Itunes, and i can only restore it, Will it delete everything?!?!

Yes, you need to restore. Here is how:
Plug your iPod into a computer with iTunes
Go into your iPod's section on the bar on the left hand side of iTunes
Click restore
Confirm the restore with the dialog boxes that pop up.
When it is done, if you have a recent backup of your iPod in iTunes, you can tell it to use it.

if i restore my ipod will it erase my itunes library on my computer

No. Your iTunes library is your "master copy." Doing a Restore on the iPod just erases the iPod, like deleting a playlist. Your iTunes library is not affected in any way.

HT4137 if i restore my ipod will i lose all of my pictures ?

If I restore my ipod will I lose all of my pictures ?

Yes, unless you create a backup of your iPod before you restore it via iTunes. See here for what is included in the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
And information on how to backup your device.
iOS: How to back up
If these were synced photos, they won't be included in the backup that you can make via iTunes or iCloud, but since they originally were synced from your PC, they should still be there.

Hi bubbles213,
The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it. This article will walk you through the steps:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games. Is there a way to get them back?

I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games. Is there a way to get them back?

Restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If i restore my ipod will i lose my messages and photos?

However, if the photos are on your computer you can sync them to the iPod.

When I sync or restore my ipod will all of my stuff be erased?

So I'm wondering if restoring or syncing it will help?

If I restore my iPod will I keep my songs?

I am planning on restoring my iPod touch 5g and I want to know if I can keep my songs. I did NOT buy these songs off of iTunes!

If you restore your device, you will lose everything you have stored on it, so you should make a backup. Also, in order to keep your songs, they should be stored in a PC or Mac with iTunes so, after restoring, you will be able to get them back to your device. If you haven't got the songs in iTunes in a PC or Mac, you can use different applications to do it. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

I restored my Ipod touch the other day. I lost literally EVERYTHING. How do I get all my pictures back, and all my music back?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you have a backup of the iPod (iTunes>Preferences>Devices), restoring from that backup will restore photos taken by or saved to the iPod up to when the backup was made. The backup does not contain synced itemslike apps and music.

Help Please! If I restore my Ipod will my Jan. Update apps. be gone?

I don't want the weather, maps, etc. new Apple apps. to be gone if I restore my Touch.
You see the artwork is not downloading on the touch. But it downloads to my other two Ipods.
I don't understand I'm thinking the Touch has to be restored.
Thanks in advance for anyone that helps me.

if you bought the apps from the january update it will stay there even if you format your hardrive the information is backed up in apple store the serial number of your touch is in records so it will restore your touch with the software update
