Losing my saved games

I know this is not in the iphone section but I figured that apps on ipod touches work the same
Hey I do not have much space left on my iphone so I constantly install/remove/reinstall many of my apps. However I noticed that everytime I take off an app and put it back on the saved game is no longer there.
maybe there is a fix for this?
thanks

App data is saved in backups, so if you feel like driving yourself crazy (or maybe coming up with a fun automator workflow) you could save every backup you do elsewhere on your machine so they don't get overwritten, then keep track of when you delete certain apps so you can find the backup that has the game data you want, then restore from that backup when you want your game data back. But doing that will delete any new data from between the old backup and the present moment.
Alternatively, you could try to save room elsewhere, or only delete apps that back themselves up online or to a desktop app, because app data is not saved when you remove an app from an iphone or touch.
It would be a great feature to add to itunes 9.1 though, so submit it here:

  • I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

    I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
    Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
    But the preview is always the duplicated one...
    I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
    I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
    So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
    Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
    Thank you very very much in advance!!

    As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Updating iPod Touch Software Version and Apps saved game data

    When I transfer my apps from iPod touch to iTunes will it also moved the saved game data like in Zombie Cafe, Amateur  Surgeon 2 so on and so fort? Because I want to update my software version...

    No.  Transferring the app to the computer only transfers the app itself. not app data.  App dat is stored in the iPod backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the a sync and of an update.  Therefore, I would do one last sync of the iPod before restoring and ensure that the backup gets made.  You can check by going to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences and looking at the date of the backup.  Also, make sure your apps are in your iTunes library since the apps themselves are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod at the end of the update.

  • 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

  • How do I stop "delete cookies" from deleting saved games of a flash based game?

    I'm running Firefox 4 under Windows 7.
    I have it currently set to delete my history when I end the session, including cookies and temporary files. This is due to privacy concerns.
    However, I also have a (downloaded - not run online or via a browser) flash based game on my computer - which saves games as LSOs.
    Firefox therefore deletes my saved games when I exit.
    How can I address my privacy concerns and still play this game?

    I am having a problem where my flash game saves are deleting themselves on their own. I don't even have to clear browsing history, and I do not have any cleaning software installed. I have set storage to unlimited and that worked for a few days but I loaded a game this evening and my save file was gone and the storage had been reset to 100kB. I haven't touched anything, haven't deleted anything. It's infuriating.

  • FIFA13, Since updating to IOS8, all cloud data has been "lost" and saved games are no longer available.

    FIFA13. Since updating to IOS8 all previously saved iCloud data has been lost and I am unable to restore previously saved games. Also when saving new games they cannot be restored from iCloud. I have reinstalled ISO8 and FIFA13 but this does not fix the issue.

    Same problem here. No saved files, saving is not possible and or doesn't work. iCloud is useless in this case.
    I see it as an EA issue. The way they work is disabling certain feature to push users towards new versions of the game.
    Money is everything, they don't care about their users and this problem will never be fixed, such a shame!

  • Moving to a new PC - how to I keep saved games etc.?

    I have a new MacMini that I want to associate my iPad and iPhone with.  I don't want to lose saved games and other settings.  How do I do this?

    I post this from time to time and it seems to have helped others in your situation.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    4. Backup
    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.

  • Difficult to transfer saved games by Storm8(How?)

    I bought my wife a new iPad. We backed up the contents and transferred eveything to the new iPad. Eveything worked fine except the Storm8 or Teamlava games like Bakery Story etc. It turns out you can't just backup and restore those apps in a new iPad. Infact it's so difficult and confusing. There's instructions like emailing them the approximate install of the app. I can't even remember when I saw the app. If I can't answer them, they won't be able to help me. In fact the instruction says I need to get to a certain level first(that means if you may have to buy gems in game first) I call that a rip off. We already bought gems in game and now it's all useless.
    For those of you or whoever was successful in transferring the saved games, can you share ti here? Don't bother posting a link to Storm8's site. Cause like I said it was useless for us.

    You're asked to level up to a certain level first because that's when you unlock the ability to create a Storm8 ID in the game for Storm8 games. Just go to the menu in any Storm8 game you play, select Storm8, and choose Start/Resume Transfer.
    Next time, try emailing Storm8 Support ([email protected]) or TeamLava Support ([email protected]) and they'll ask you for your account information to help you transfer your games.

  • ITunes 9 - Home Sharing Settings and Saved Game Data?

    The new "Home Sharing Settings" feature to automatically transfer applications from one home computer to another is great. However, it seems like there is a huge omission with this feature if you can't transfer your game settings and saved data when you use this option as a way to change computers to sync an iTouch or iPhone.
    Here's my scenario: originally had iTunes on a Windows PC to purchase and sync up my iTouch. Recently bought another iMac and want to use it as my "master" computer to sync up my iTouch. Used the Home Sharing Settings feature to quickly copy all of my songs (with ratings) and apps from the PC to the Mac. Everything great so far.
    Purchased a few more apps in the iTunes store on the iMac. Plugged in the iTouch to copy the new apps, but of course it wants to delete everything and start over (to be expected I guess). But with that I assume all of my saved game data in my 50+ apps will be lost!
    Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I've now authorized my laptop with my fiance's itunes account and my personal iTunes account, this is key.
    I'm now able to transfer songs from either her laptop or my iMac (where my music is stored for now) as long as the current logged-in Home Sharing account is active. So it's basically like logging into an ftp server, only one connection allowed at a time.
    So just turn off Home Sharing and then turn it back on again, re-enter the other systems iTunes account info and there you go, you can transfer from that one now. Of course this would be simpler if you were just merging two computers/accounts instead of adding in a 3rd laptop like my experiment. You should just have to make sure all computers involved (up to 5) are authorized for all the iTunes accounts involved.
    And yes using the settings button with in the home sharing window, you should be able to automatically sync any new purchases from the current shared account, music, movies, apps, etc.

  • How can I transfer saved games to my iPad?

    I have an old iPod Touch and just bought an iPad 2.  I'm able to transfer the apps to my iPad, but I can't seem to transfer the progress from games to it.  Can I transfer saved game data to the iPad so that I don't have to start the games from scratch?
    I'm not looking at playing the games on both devices - just starting the games on the iPad from where I left off on the iPod Touch.

    You could try restoring from the backup of the touch. If you restore the iPad from the backup of the iPod Touch these items will restore. The bold type bullet points (I made the type bold) indicate what you may be hoping to recover. If you restore from the backup, you still need to sync apps, music, vieos, photos etc., onto the iPad however.

  • How can I restore single saved game data?

    So I recently updated Infinity Blade 2 with the new update that just came out. However, this wiped my saved game.
    However, my phone does iCloud backups, and I noticed that the saved game data was backed up previously.
    Is there a way for me to restore the game and get my saved game back? I can see the saves but I don't know how to get them back!

    I don't know if Macroplant's iExplorer application would help here, but I've posted details on how to back up and restore individual game data (achievements, scores, etc.) for future reference.

  • How to transfer the iPhone4 saved game to iPad2

    How do I transfer all my iPhone4 saved game to iPad? so I can continue to play my saved game on iPad2.

    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by an app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    You must restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
