IPhone 4 to iPad - game data restoring

Hi I just bought my new iPad - and this is the situation I have.
I currently have an iPhone 4 and i set up an account (A) for itunes - to purchase apps and music, use this account (A) as well for iCloud and Game Center.
For the iPad, I setup another account (B) for iCloud and Game Center (as this device will be used by all my family members) and I will use the other account (A) for the itunes - to purchase apps and music.
If I had the same game downloaded on the iPhone 4 and iPad - how is it possible to transfer my existing game data from iPhone 4 to iPad.
Kind Regards

I do the same thing.  16gb wifi ipad 2 and teather to my ATT iphone 4...  I too get the chain link, and at times it does not work as well.  What I do, is turn my ipad off, and then back on.. And then reestablish my link.  All is well after that.
I have not had a chance to try it since the most recent update to both devices, so unaware if the new updates fixed the problem, but it does seem like a bug to me.
I hope I've been some help

  • Just synced and updated os for ipod touch 5th gen and have lost game data - restore won't get it back, is there anyway to retrieve?

    Have new ipod touch and successfully transferred game data from old ipod touch, but today have updated to the new os (from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3) and now have lost game progress on several apps.
    Have tried to restore the backup but it doesn't bring back the game data
    Is there anything I can do to find this data or is it gone for good?

    If restoring from backup did not work then there is nothing else you can do. Did you try both from iTunes backup and iCloud backup? If you restore from iTunes backup you have to have the apps in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.

  • IPhone   iTunes = deleted save game data?

    I sync'd my iPhone 3gs with iTunes for the first time.  When it was finished, all of my apps and games were gone from my iPhone, so I reloaded them from the "Purchased" section of iTunes.  When I opened any of my games, I started from the beginning on ALL of them, and all of my in-app purchases were gone.  Where did they go, and much more importantly, how do I get them back?

    Saved game data from non-web-based apps are saved in backups. Revert to a backup in iTunes. Smurf village stores the game progression on their servers. just make sure you know your login.

  • Switching iPhone carriers with iPad on data plan

    Can an iPad2 currently on AT&T shared plan be put on a new Verizon shared plan without the wi-fi router that costs $20/month?
    The Verizon salesman says no, because AT&T "programs" the iPad differently. 

    You can't. The Verizon uses CDMA while AT&T uses GSM. They are not hardware compatible with each other.

  • Ipad Restore: If I restore to factory settings do I lose my game data?

    I was having some issues with my iPad. The keyboard was slow and sometimes non-responsive. I have found a temperary fix but would like my iPad to be back to normal (or more so then now). I went to simply computing and was told to try restoring to factory settings. Needless to say I forgot to ask what would happen to my data. If I restore my iPad to factory settings will I lose my game data? Will I have to start all over on my games? I have been playing some games for about a year and really don't want to have to start from the beginning... Please any information will help.

  • How can I transfer saved games data (smurf, bakery story, etc) from iPhone 3GS to iPad mini retina?

    How can I transfer saved games data (smurf, bakery story, etc) from iPhone 3GS to iPad mini retina? I have a reached in a very high levels at all these games I choose iPad for continuing  played all my saved games in the bigger screen of iPad. Please send step by step the way I can transfer them at the levels I have reached.

    I have installed all the games from my iPhone 3GS at my iPad mini retina throw iCloud. I did what iTunes suggest but when I open the game start from the beginning. For example all the games of team lava company like farm story 2 bakery home design etc I have register and I took storm ID and I have reached in a big level that some times cost money to change level or to buy gems to continue the games.
    I am very angry because before I bought this iPad they told me that I could played my games in a big screen of iPad and this as I can see is nit possible. Apple send me details that didn't help me and everything suggest me is not working.
    I fell stupid because I spend my money in an apple product that isn't what I want and the information I have throw apple are fake

  • My iPhone says it needs a system restore. If games are connected through game center will I keep all my data?

    I plugged my iPhone in to put some music on but it said that there was a problem and couldn't be read properly so it required a system restore. I want to know if I will lose all of my game save data if they are connected through Game Center.

    You can try a restore from a backup first. That should have no affect on your data. It is when you do a restore as a new device that you will lose all of your data, game data, etc.

  • How do I get game data back on the iPad after being sent a replacement?

    I took my iPad into a shop for repair and they replaced it. Before I took it I backed it up to iTunes. When I got my replacement I synced my iPad with iTunes and got all my apps back. Only problem is I've lost all my game data. My achievements are on game centre. How do I get the game data back? Also I bought extra levels on a game and they have disappeared to? Can anyone help?

    You should have restored from the backup before you synced the iPad. If iTunes created a new backup when you synced, the old backup may have been overwritten and the data may be gone.
    Without connecting the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see a backup in that window from the day that you backed up the iPad before you sent it out to be replaced? If you do have a backup from that days, you can try restoring from that backup. While you are still in that window, click on the box that says - prevent iPods, iPhones .... From syncing automatically. Click OK. Quit iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad under devices and select Restore From Backup. Select that backup from the window that pops up and restore from it. Then sync with iTunes.
    You can turn Auto sync back on in the prefers when you are done.

  • Restoring Ipad - minecraft data

    I bought a new ipad for my son and planned to transfer data using icloud backup.  I want to preserve his minecraft data from old ipad.  The Apple Store rep told me that I will lose his minecraft data.  He said when they restore the ipad - all the apps are there but it's like they are brand new.  No saved games or app data from within the app saved.  This doesn't make sense to me.  Is it true? 

    Hi Bcristea,
    In this situation, I would suggest creating a backup in iTunes on the computer with the older iPad and then restoring the new iPad from that iTunes backup. The backup in iTunes does include App Store Application data, Appliciation settings, and In-app purchases.  This information can be found in the following article.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp, and Caches folder)
    Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents
    In-app purchases
    Game Center account
    If you need information on how to create a backup in iTunes on a computer, that can be found in this article.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Use iTunes
    You can use iTunes to back up and restore your content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    Thanks for reaching out,

  • Can't restore messages from iPhone 3GS to iPad mini

    Hello,
    I tried to transfer informations from my iPhone 3GS to my new iPad mini via iCloud backup with no success. Once restore is completed, some data is missing on the iPad, like messages SMS and images. I think it's normal that photos won't be restored because of the different resolution of the iPad mini, but why there is no messages on the iPad after the restore?

    Sorry but I don't understand why it's not working either.  Both iCloud and iTunes backups contain text messages, and while some data can't be restored to a different device (such as camera roll photos), there is no documentation indicating that text messages can't.  Since your iPad Mini is new, you should be within your 90-day free telephone support window and could call Apple support to see what they have to say about this.  To set up the call, start here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.
    (By the way, if you want to get your iPhone camera roll photos on your iPad Mini, import them to your computer as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then sync them to your iPad Mini by selecting the photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing your iPad Mini.)

  • Transfering Game data Ipod Touch - Iphone

    Is there any way to transfer game data from ipod touch 3g? (2009 release) to iPhone 4?
    I dont want to complete angry birds and cut the rope again as i already have on my ipod which i now rarly use due to having an iphone, and new levels are now available.
    Neigther are jailbroken nor do i want to do it.
    Is it possible?

    The only way I know that this MIGHT work would be to restore your Iphone from the backup of your Ipod. Your Ipod's backup contains all application data such as high scores etc...
    This would also however wipe out your Iphone data and media. It would mirror your Ipod. You could use syncing to put iphone data on ipod before creating an Ipod backup.
    Make sure you have all media copied into your itunes library computer first. The backup does not hold any media(tv shows, music etc...)

  • HT4759 ive lost my iphone and its been backup and ive tried to restore it to ipad but the restore doesnt show up at all. can anyone help please?

    i've tried everything but i cant seem to find any way of doing it. can anyone please help me i just want to restore my iphone back to my ipad

    Your iPad has to be running the same or higher version of iOS as you phone was in order for the backup to appear.  If it isn't, you'll have to update your iPad first.  There are some limitations involved in restoring an iPad to an iPhone backup to be aware of, including:
    Camera Roll photos and videos are not restored.  These can only be restored to another iPhone.
    Third-party apps and their data will be restored but the app icon order/organization won't be.
    iPhone-only apps will not be restored to an iPad.

  • How to sync iPad to new computer/macbook maintaining game data

    Hi,
    my wife is using an iPad (1)
    Sofar she has synchronized with iTunes on a windows machine.
    Right now I want to move to iTunes on a new macbook.
    I have synced on the old (windows) computer.
    I have 'transferred purchases' on the new macbook.
    (Apple id's are the same)
    All apps are now on the iPad and the macbook.
    Now we need to sync the iPad and iTunes on the macbook.
    Question: what will happen with all game data.
    Apparantly all apps (250 games!) will be removed and replaced from /on the iPad.
    But what will happen to to game data/status?
    Will all the work in (e.g.) the 'Smurf city' be wiped out?
    Is the a way to keep/remain/save the game data?
    thx in advance for your tips and hints

    You want to restore from the backup in order to restore the app data and game saves.
    I have posted this a number of times. You have done some of this already, but this is a "start from scratch" list ofinstructions for syncing with a new computer. Anything that does not apply - like transferring music or photos at the end - just ignore.
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    4. Backup the iPad
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

  • Saved game data after restore

    My iPhone 4 was in the middle of updating to the latest software however halfway through the phone crashed and it went into recovery mode so I had to restore to factory settings. I used the latest backup to restore from like I did when I was moving from my iPhone 3G to iPhone 4 and all the saved game data was moved from one phone to the other. However, after this restore only some games have the saved data. It appears to be the games bought on my iPhone 4 have all the data intact but the ones I bought on iPhone 3G have all started from new.
    Any ideas on how I can get back the saved games?

    I got an error when trying to update to iOS 4.0.2 and had to restore from my wife's PC.
    All my saved game date was no longer there when I re-synced to my PC.
    This is annoying.
    Anyone got a solution for easily and reliably backing up and saving "saved game" data. This is going to be a real problem for Apple, because how can I have the confidence to start on a game which has a long campaign, when I can't be confident that my saved game progress can't be lost?
