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.

  • Does syncing apps to itunes save game data

    I want to know if I sync my apps to iTunes (which I do) does it save my game data/levels/files.
    I recently had to restore my iPod Touch 4g and when I got my apps back from iTunes my game files were saved but they were old versions.  I synced to iTunes just the day before I had to restore.  But my game levels were that of 1 week ago.  So how do I sync my game levels so that if I ever have to restore again I will have my levels.  Thanks.

    App data and settings are part of the backup. But, as every backup replaces the old one, you'll have to include your backup folder in your computer backup routine, to be sure to have several backups to go back.
    Only if you use a backup to restore from, iTunes will create a new one and mark the old one with a time stamp.
    Check this article for more info and about details where the backup folder is stored for your OS:

  • 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

  • Is it possible to save game data (e.g game scores) on your PC before you erase all data on iPod Touch

    I am about to erase data on my iPod but I've got some good scores on games like a mean 29,825,006 on Temple Run and will I be able to save this data over to my PC?

    - Make sure that you make a backup.  The first step of a sync is a backup.  The backup contains app data like saved games. To check, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look for the backup and its date.
    - Just restore the iPod from that backup and you save games will be restore too provided that the apps are in the iTunes library since the backup does not contain apps and some other stuff.

  • New WIn7 installed, prior data wiped. Empty contact lists and calendars. All stillon iPhone. What will synching do? Copy iPhone data to outlook contacts/calendar? or copy enpty PC files to iPhone, essentially deleting last place data is saved?

    New WIn7 installed, prior data wiped. Outlook (calendar and contacts) files empty.  Same lists however in the iPhone.  If I synch the iPhone and PC, what will happen? Will the iPhone data populate the  and, essentially, delete my last data resords? I know- prior to disc wipe, records entered either on PC or iPhone would cross copy to the iPhone or PC.  That was only 2 -4 records at a time.  We're talking >100 records at prresent.  Can I jut sync, and not worry amd find all contacts BOTH places?

  • Does game center save game data

    my old computer is not working and on my new computer it has all my music and stuff, but with my apps i have got so far and i dont want to sync my ipod to my new computer because it might get ride of the data and i will have to start agian, and i have spent so much money on two of my apps, and they are both on game center so will that save the data on to my acount ????

    Game settings are part of your backup. So you'll need to back up your ipod to the new computer.
    To transfer your data, follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    In short:
    Disable autosync in iTunes on the new computer, connect and right click on your ipod in the device list, choose "backup" and "transfer purchases" after that.
    The first sync will erase your ipod, but you can use the manual backup you made to restore from, and all your settings should be back again.

  • Everytime i plug my iphone and update through itunes all my game data goes away how can i get it back/stop this from happening

    please help

    I have the same question, but can you clarify something please.  I have about 10 apps showing in the apps section of iTunes - all of which I am happy to have on my iphone - but NOT on the Touch. 
    1.  How do I 'delete' the apps wrongly synched to the Touch, and
    2.  For the future, when I download an app. hor do I ensure it is only synched with the iphone and not the Touch.  I have very space left on the Touch and don't want to clutter it with unwanted apps.

  • I synced my IPhone but OK'd the wrong button (back-up from old IPhone) and deleted all my data, such as contacts, pictures, videos, notes etc. How can I get my data back, restore all my lost file?

    I connected my IPhone 4 with my PC/iTunes to transfer my pictures/viedos to my PC. Unfortunately, I clicked on the wrong button when asked to sync with the old back-up files and ll my data werde deleted from my IPhone.
    Is there a program for the IPhone -as it exists for my Windows PC- to restore the data by chosing the date and time when datas are lost?

  • When i synchronized my iphone, itunes deleted me all my apps... how can i recuperate? my english is so bad... sorry :S

    S.O.S.!!

    Deleted them from where?  The device or the computer?
    Were they not on the computer to begin with?
    Is this the same computer the device is normally synced with?
    Why would you not post in your native language so that you could appropriately express the issues that are occurring?

  • Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan, I want to delete my iCloud account on this phone, will delete my iCloud account too? And what about deleting my personal datas on iPhone, will it delete my data on iTunes?

    Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan. I want to delete all of my personal data on my phone, will it delete my data on iTunes too? And same goes for iCloud; I want to delete my acount on my phone because, I guess this is a more convenient way to delete my personal data but I'm not sure if it will delete my iCloud account too or not because I'm getting an iPhone 4S and I'm hoping, the back up data like games & apps and music on my 3Gs will be transfered to 4S.
    Thanks!

    All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • Does iTunes save my game data when I sync?

    I may need to do a restore/update to iOS 6 after finding out that there was more than 4GB of "others" stuff. I really want to save my game data, such as PvZ(Finished game x1), so I need to know whether my game data is safe or not...

    Just make sure that you backup your iPod before you update. Before I updated, I backed up to both iCloud and iTunes. The backup includes app data like game status.

  • Transferring saved game data iPhone to iPad

    I browsed around to see if this has been asked, but a lot of the threads were older and didn't pertain to my devices.
    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 both not jail-broken. I had a game called My Town 2 on both that I could use back and forth whenever I wanted to, and it let me play the exact same game without starting a new one on the other. Which was nice to do when I was out and about, since my iPad only connects with a wifi connection.
    Yesterday I idiotically deleted the game from the iPad, and when I went to re-install it, it started from scratch, I do however still have the same game and my progress on the iPhone.
    I checked around to find ways to transfer the game and its data from the iPhone to iPad. So far iExplorer didn't work, ifunbox seems easier to navigate but I don't know what to look for or where to save it. Phone Disk needs to be purchased and iTunes requires you to restore. There's got to be a way right?
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    If the game was syncing your progress between devices, it should continue to do so once you have the game properly installed and registered on your iPad again. You might need to "log in" or otherwise let the game's server know that it's you and your account on that device.
    You might care to contact the developer of the game for advice. I doubt your the first one of their customers to encounter this issue.

  • How to resolve error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."

    I inadvertently deleted my iPhone backup on my MacBook Pro. I restored iPhone to factory settings and then synced remotely with iCloud. However the error message repeatedly states:
    iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again.
    Any ideas as to how this can be resolved please. Thank you very much.

    My wife's iPhone 5 would not backup, after upgrading to iOS 8.     The "genius" at the Apple store succeeded in DELETING, the only recent backup of her phone so
    recovery became more critical.
    I followed all the procedures for troubleshooting it, but still it would try to backup and then stop due to an error. We particularly wanted to preserve some game data/history/progress that she'd been working on for years.      This game (Dream Fish) would no longer open after the iOS 8 upgrade ... and the phone would not successfully backup, and so we had no confidence that it would restore from an older backup either.       I googled for solution and found Phoneview and iFunBox.      These apps allow you to see & access data files in the iPhone.      Phoneview was too fragile and crashed when copying a file any size.     
    I found "iFunBox".     iFunBox was excellent.      I used iFunBox to recover her game data.    It allows you to make a copy of data files that reside on the iPhone... and store them as a manual backup on the Mac.
    And in the process I found 2 games that caused iFunBox to crash.      The 2 games in question were not important enough to try to keep, so I deleted them from the iPhone.
    So then, I had a manual backup of the important iPhone data, and had eliminated two game files that apparently had a conflict with iOS 8.
    My next Backup attempt was successful.        The iPhone with iOS 8 would now backup to both the Mac and to the Cloud.
    Next I deleted Dream Fish from the iPhone and downloaded a fresh version from the Cloud.    The new Dream Fish with no history opened in iOS 8.
    Then I used iFunBox to copy my wife's Dream Fish data history from the Mac back into the new game.
    Once the transfer was complete, Dream Fish would now OPEN and all of her progress was there and working like normal.
    Hope this helps.
