Looking for iPod/iPhone app data in Time Machine

For some reason, when my iPod Touch upgraded to IOS 4.3.1, iTunes told me something went wrong and I had to restore to default settings.
After that was taken care of, iTunes asked me if I wanted to restore from the most recent backup of my iPod Touch, and I said yes.
But when I checked afterwards, all data from my apps had been lost. Before I did further research, I first tried to sync AGAIN ... thus overwriting any chance of finding my data.
SO ... Now I would like to go back in Time Machine and find the iPod Touch app data from last night's sync, before this all happened.
Where can I find this data on my hard drive so that I can recover it from a Time Machine backup?
Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    I'm looking for an iPhone app developer, preferably in the UK, to work with me on a couple of reference apps. Drop me a line if you'd like more information; [email protected]

    Possibly Sketchbook Pro or Express from the Mac App store.

  • Looking for an iPhone App

    Is there an app on the App Store that can give you information for wifi and general data networks? Such as signal quality, like for testing how good your wifi signal is and how far it can reach... Been looking and struggling, trying searching using all sorts of key words.

    Thanks for quick reply. Aggh thats so irritating, if only I'd looked last month! Apple doesn't even offer a utility to do that so I don't see why 3rd party apps can't. Oh well, hopefully there'll be something in OS 4 that can help!

  • Can you recover app data using Time Machine

    When I got my 3GS, I consciously elected to create a new phone, rather than restoring from my previous backup. (Thought it would be best to start from scratch since I hadn't yet installed OS 3.0).
    Anyway,I did this forgetting that only one app I use has any significant data associated with it -- my workout app.
    Is there a way to recover the data for just that app using Time Machine?
    Thanks.

    Had a similar issue with Peggle (close to the last level, but my saves didn't transfer! AAAHH!!!). What I had to do (according to AppleCare) was to restore my phone from a backup. This doesn't take long at all, and you don't have to redownload the OS to do it (it simply replaces "your stuff" with the backup. Doing it this way (instead of going with "new phone" fixed my problem. From there, you can change the name of your phone or whatever you want in iTunes.
    Hopefully you made a recent backup of your old phone so you can do this. If you deleted your backup, you can use Time Machine to restore it and THEN restore from backup on your new phone. But to my knowledge (and according to the Apple rep I talked to) there is no way to simply transfer data within the app itself.

  • Yet ANOTHER person looking for an answer to a dreaded Time Machine Error

    "Unable to complete backup..." I have a dedicated 2Tb Lacie "Bigger" disk that Time Machine has been effectively backing up to since April 2008. In the last two weeks I've started getting this error. "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
    After reading the very convoluted and differing solutions to this problem, some that seemed to work for only a few, and some that don't seem to work for anyone, here's what I've done so far with NO results.
    I'm running Leopard (with the most recent update - 10.5.6) on a 24" imac.
    Step 1. Run Disk Utility to scan the disk for errors - No problems detected.
    Step 2. Run Disk Utility to verify the disk - No problems detected.
    Step 3. Trash the preferences, both in the system library and the user library, where I found them.
    Step 4. Disk Utility - Zero the drive (10 hours btw) and reformatted with Journaling enabled, and a Re-name of the drive.
    Step 5. Restart iMac, and upon prompting by the launcher, confirmed that Yes, I would like to use "new name" for Time Machine backups.
    Step 6. Wait patiently for 116 seconds for Time Machine to start the first backup.
    Step 7. Proceed to slam forehead (repeatedly) into desk when I got the error again after this 20 hour process.
    I then proceeded to repeat this process thinking that maybe I'd forgetten a step.
    I thought it may be a cable or port issue, so I changed the port that I was using on my drive...NO - the cable is fine, since we tested it on my husbands machine. No connectivity problems.
    I thought it may be that I was missing an update, Nope.
    I turned off the sleep mode, thinking that it was not able to access the drive effectively. No.
    Then I started thinking that maybe there was a corrupted file. Who knows?
    Does ANYONE have a suggestion? I am currently without a backup, since I erased my drive. I can do a manual back up, but I don't want to erase the drive again..since it takes forever.

    I did not say anything about changing a drive name. What I referred to was the Computer Name as set in Sharing preferences. This is how TM identifies the machine with the backup contained in the Backups.backupd folder.
    I would start looking at your console log entries to see what information it provides on the backup when it produces the error. This could be a permissions related problem for all one knows, although it's odd that the problem occurs immediately after you erase the backup drive and start anew.
    When you prepared the external drives were they partitioned using APM and formatted Mac OS X Extended (Journaled?) I would also check the drive permissions. Select the drive and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Sharing section at the bottom be sure the box labeled "Ignore permissions on this ..." is UNchecked. Standard permissions should be:
    Owner=system with r/w privileges
    Group=admin with r/w privileges
    Everyone is read-only
    If these aren't the same, then click on the lock icon, authenticate with your admin password, then change them accordingly. If you don't have a system or admin entry then click on the [+] button. You should be able to select Administrators and add it to the Group list. However, a system user will not exist when you try to add it, so click on the option for a new user. Enter system as the username (all lowercase) then enter and confirm your admin password. You can then add system as a user. Then set the privileges as above. Remove all other users by selecting them and clicking on the [-] button. You cannot delete yourself, but you can change your privileges to read-only.

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    Only you can make that determination.  Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews.

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

  • Looking for suitable gps app for iPhone

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a suitable app for my phone. I'd like a GPS program that points me to how far away a point is and in which direction.
    Basically, my Dad, before he died, had a proper GPS and programmed in some of our family relatives for when he was sailing. Now he's passed on I like the idea of where he and some other relatives are buried and I'd like something that, wherever I am, can tell me that, for example, my Dad is X miles away and in which direction.
    I'm not looking for a routemaster app or anything more complex.
    I can't see anything suitable - is there something out there that can do this?

    Check out MotionX-GPS in the app store or at their web site (http://news.motionx.com/category/motionx-gps/).
    You can enter waypoints in a number of ways, and once you have saved on, you can use their "search wheel" to follow a track you've recorded, get range and bearing to a waypoint, point to a lat/long coordinate.  It takes a bit of time to learn, but it is a pretty cool app.

  • WiFi Sync Looking For iPod

    Hello, I have a 4th gen iPod touch running iOS 6.1.6 (Up to date)  and iTunes running on a Windows 7 Home Premium x64. When I plug my iPod in I get "USB Device not recognized" message from windows, I have tried every USB port on my computer (USB 2.0 and 3.0). I decided to try to sync over WiFi (it is already enabled). I unlocked the iPod and opened iTunes and my iPod was listed under devices so I selected it and chose Sync. The display at the top of iTunes said "Looking for iPod" for about a minute then the iPod disappeared from my Devices list and Now will not reappear (it is still unlocked). I can ping my iPod from Command Prompt. I tried restarting the iPod as well as restarting iTunes and Windows. In the iTunes WiFi sync menu on the iPod it says "Sync will resume when  Brad-PC is available. Last Sync: Friday, March 20, 2015 at 5:49 PM" So I know it used to work, Any thoughts on what could be preventing this from working now? I just purchased some new songs and would like to put them on my iPod.
    Thanks
    -Brad

    Try:the following to get iTunes to see the iPOd. Seems you have a problem with the computer/iTunes
    See
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                                                                                                                                  
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Looking for form filling app that can do this

    I am looking for an iPad app that can do this. I know it would need some type of cloud/web based backend to setup and manage but I'm looking for the following:
    We are a fire and security company. Many jobs require multiple documents to be created such as a service ticket, alarm activity log and maybe another form. The problem is if the tech needs to fill out the service ticket and activity log, those forms require in many ways the same information such as description of problem and end results and then each form has it's own separate info required. Right now the tech either has to retype all the similar data or try to copy and paste between the different fillable PDF files.
    I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to select which forms are needed and then it will populate the required fields to fill in and when complete it will export it to PDF on the appropriate company document templates and allow signatures to be placed before printing via AirPrint and emailing it to customer and our office.
    Does anyone know of a solution like this? It is not an easy thing to look for on Google.

  • I'm looking for a passwords app

    I'm looking for a passwords app for both my desktop and my iPhone 4S that will sync without using the Cloud and will import data from Passwords Plus. Anything available?

    Thanks again, Linc.
    I downloaded the desktop version and I'm giving it a try.  Once you buy it, can you add fields in addition to the 4 that appear in the New Entry Dialog box.  I have much more information in my Passwords Plus data base than it looks like PasswordWallet keeps.
