IPhone app backup/restore

I have 2 iTunes backups of my iPhone. Long story short, i want to copy the iphone application data (ie: Game profiles, save games, etc) from the old backup and add/merge the application data with my new backup. Then i want to restore my iPhone with new backup.
I have looked for 3rd party software and have not found anything that exports the iPhone app data that the app create on the phone. any recommendations will be most helpful. unless there is another way. Thanks

My situation is similar. I have an ip4. I also have an iphone 3G which I am now using as an ipod touch. I have different apps in each device. I am using my iphone 3G for non wireless function like documents, excel, databases, finances, etc. I do backup each device regularly. Since my iphone 3G is older and might die sooner, I am afraid that all my data will be lost.
Is there a way that I could merge the two backups together so if my 3G die, I could move all of the apps data from my iphone 3G to my ip4 without erasing all my ip4 data? Is there a program that will do this? I tried to google to find any solution but came up empty. Thanks.....

IPhone 4s backup restoring on iPad 2?

I have a iPhone 4s, I just purchased an iPad 2. Can I restore my iPhone backup to my iPad so I can play my games without losing any progress and have the sync between both devices?

I successfully restored the iPhone backup to the iPad but I did have a number of issues. But I was able to solve them
1. The iOS on the iPhone was 5.1. The iPad was stil 5.01 so I had to upgrade that before I could do anything
2. The iPhone was 64gb iPad 16gb. So the first few times it didn't take but it did on the third try. After the program data was transferred over. I had 8gb of "other data" before I even had any apps, music, or video on the iPad. I figured out what apps were the ones that had all of their data on the iPad already without the app. I installed those apps and deleted the "other" data. Which gave me the use of the rest of the memory.
3. The photo albums would not delete off of the iPad but after switching the photo directory to sync and then deleting them. Everything was fine.
4. I had to disassociate the iPad with my computer for the app Documents to go. The computer got confused because the iPhone and iPad were the same device and it wouldn't work.
A few bumps but all of my application data and game setting and progress is right.

IPhone 4s: Backup, Restore, and updating questions??

So, over the course of the last couple weeks, my iPhone 4s has been lagging, freezing and some apps are crashing. I'm assuming I should do a restore on the phone. I've never done one before, so I'm a little nervous about it. So I have some questions before I get started.
1) If I restore my iPhone to factory settings and then restore my latest backup will the problems that I'm having still persist? I still have 6GB of empty space on my phone (I have the 32GB) so I don't think the lagging is caused by the phone being too full. I'm just wondering if I load from the backup will the issue that's causing the phone to lag/freeze/crash just be put back on the phone when I do the restore?
2) I haven't yet updated to iOS 8 because a few people I know did it with their phones and it essentially rendered their phones unusable. I was wondering if I HAVE to update to the new iOS when I do a restore? I've heard mixed reviews on the performance of iOS 8 on the 4s, and I don't want to make any problems worse.
3) If I do the reset to factory setting and then restore from my backup, will everything that's on my phone at the time of the backup be put right back on the phone? Will all of my photos, contacts, game data etc be transferred? Essentially, I just want to make sure that nothing at all is lost in the restore process.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this as painless a process as possible I would appreciate any and all input.
Thank you in advance!

What can happen after doing an update is something doesn't go quite right - the phone will work fine, but you'll notice odd stuff, like it being slower than usual, locking up, etc. A restore usually resolves that.
If the phone seems to lock up in general (ie: not just in a certain app), then doing a restore is worth doing. If a particular app tends to lock up, the issue is likely with that app.
Wiping the phone and restoring re-installs the iOS from scratch, which will get rid of any issues that may have during an update.
You do have to install iOS 8 at this point - Apple will, for a very short time, continue to sign older versions of iOS after a new one is released, but that usually only lasts a few days, if that.
From what I've read, the 4S runs iOS 8 just fine. Initially, you may notice it running more slowly, but you shouldn't notice that after using it for a while.
As for what gets transferred back - I know from an iTunes backup, you get everything - essentially a mirror image of what your phone looks like when you do the backup. Not sure if the same is true for an iCloud backup.
Hope that helps

Iphone 4s Backup - Restore issue

Hi,
I am using iPhone 4s with iOS 6.1.3.
I took backup in in Aug'13 and yesterday.
Issue:
Yesterday I upgaded to iOS7 and it was successful.
But due to some usage issue I try to revertback but haflfway it faled due to storage issue in my pc (C drive was not having enough storage) and all the data gone from iPhone.
So I freeup space and try to continue the restoration and I couldn't restore the backup ( i tried both and not working). In the mean time I lost all my data including the contacts.
Since yesterday I am having the iOS7 with no previous data.
Please help me to guide me to restore the iOS 6.1.3 backup which I took earlier prior to the upgrade.
Thank you for all to help me to resolve this issue.
Cheers
Senthilkumar

If you are trying to revert to iOS 6 from iOS 7, that is not possible.
If you are trying to restore your phone from a previous backup, and the data you are missing is not in that backup, then it can't be restored to your phone.
In any event your phone will be restored with iOS 7.

Iphone app backup

If i dont have my apps synced with itunes, are they still backed up to itunes when itunes does a auto backup.

The backup does not contain apps.
They should be on your computer.
If they are not then redownload them

Problem restoring Iphone 4 backup onto my new Iphone 5 with Itunes!

I just purchased a new Iphone 5, started it and in the configuration chose restore from itunes backup. The Iphone was connected to Itunes and the Iphone 4 backup restored onto my new phone, however only very few apps made it to the new Iphone 5! Any idea? Diskspace is the same on both phones and not full at all.

iTunes 10.7 and the iPhone 5 require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6.8 requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM; to get it, click here, buy and install the DVD, and run Software Update.

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

IPhone app (shapewriter) is corrupted. App's no longer in the Store. How can I restore from my backup?

An iPhone app that I love has become corrupted. This app is no longer available in the Store. Can I restore the app from my phone backup? How? Anything to watch out for?
Shapewriter was purchased by Nuance. As most Dragon users will tell you, Nuance treats its customers badly; apparently it does the same to companies it buys. Soon after they bought Shapewriter, they took it down from the store. Rumor has it that they just bought it as a weapon in some patent battle. Sad: it's a really cool app.

No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

Again, How to restore from backup without sync all my apps?

Your iPhone cannot be restored because there is a problem with your backup data. Choose a different backup to restore from.

I was receiving this error while trying to restore my new iphone 5 from my iphone 4s backup file over the icloud.
I finally figured out the solution after HOURS of working with both ATT and Apple. Both were as helpful as possible and after speaking to an Apple Sr Tech we discovered I received this error because my backup file was corrupt.
His suggestion was an obvious suggestion of deleting this backup file and recreating the backup. So I deleted the backup and began to recreate the backup on my 4s (now I was lucky in that I was upgrading my other line and still had my 4s available to me to play with), during mid backup my backup would stop and have at the bottom of the screen that the backup wasnt complete (and also that "Last Backup: Never") even though I could see backup data was saved. This was the same problem I had initially, not having a complete backup for my iphone 5 to restore from (Your phone will not restore without a complete backup file).
I did some further research and found that because I had the FACEBOOK app on my previous iOS5 and upgraded to iOS6 (iphone 4s) it for wahtever reason would cause the backups to become corrupt or incomplete. So I deleted the FACEBOOK app from my 4s and reset the phone, after I started it back up I deleted the incomplete backup file again for my 4s and then began the backup once again. This time the backup completed perfectly and I was able to now go to my iphone 5 and restore all my apps, etc.
Hope this helps someone else!

Restore new Ipod Touch from iPhone 4 backup...

I bought my son an iPod touch as he is constantly asking to play games on my iPhone 4. I want to transfer the games from my iPhone 4 to his iPod, including the save data. Is it possible for me to simply restore his new iPod from my latest iPhone backup? I can then delete any apps he would not be using, etc.

yes.
in fact, when you connect the Touch to iTunes for the 1st time, you should be asked if you want the back up of your iPhone to be restored to the Touch.
