Lost game data

i got a new iphone 4s and cant get my game data on it from my iphone3g. anyone know how?

I just migrated my son from a 3GS to an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.01. I wiped the iPhone 4, reactivated it, then restored from a complete backup of his 3GS.
His Harry Potter Lego saved game setttings were not preserved. He was, understandably, disappointed.
I haven't evaluated his other games. In general iOS 5 migrations have been difficult, with more than expected work to reinstall apps, delete crashing apps and resume them, and restore accounts.

  • 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.

  • Is there anyway to restore lost game data and achievement from the Game Centre after doing a full restore without backup?

    I recently restored my iPad to fix issues with the Facebook account attached to my iPad clearing all saved data and I didn't backup with iCloud because I wanted to get rid of the Facebook account that I could no longer access and remove or attach with games. Game achievements are shown in the Game Centre but when I play the app it starts at the very beginning of the app with no progress is there anyway to retrieve my progress?

    No. Not without a backup.

  • I updated to 5.0.1 and lost all my game data for my apps since the update and have checked my devices table and tried to upload anyone got any idea how to get my freaking game data back

    Can any one help?

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying so quick. I think before the update the apps were not in the library. Now after the update the apps are in the itunes libary minus the game data. I think that happened because I tried to find my game data. I search my pc and found a previous itunes libraries folder and when I used that I found a file I clicked on a file called itunes Library 2012-01-10 that opened in the itunes library. The date on that file was the date of the upgrade to 5.0.1. when I lost all my games data.
    There is another file in the itunes libcalled iTunes Library 2011-03-16 would it be worth trying to download that as it may have more game data?
    I ment to say the devices tab not table it is the option in the iTunes app to find out about your device.

  • Game reset itself and now i have lost all data.. how do i get it back? iv spent ALOT of money and time on smurfs!!

    @sachin411 did you try resyncing the iPhone/iPod before you backed it up? make sure you back up your iProduct every few days, as i have learnt you can loose A LOT of stuff if you dont!!

  • 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.

  • Restore game data if iPod is restored due to forgotten passcode?

    It's amazing how many posts/discussions there are about lost/forgotten passcodes.  Apple really needs to do something about how to fix this other than completing wiping out the ipod.  Totally ridiculous.
    We set a restrictions passcode on my son's ipod, but it somehow magically changed at some point.  We ended up having to restore and then re-sync apps, etc. in order to reset the restrictions passcode.  A restore of a previous backup doesn't work since the passcode is part of the backup.
    Since we couldn't 'restore' from previous backup, we had to re-sync all the games back after the touch was setup as a 'new' device, but they all ended up going back on the touch as if they were newly installed - all game data lost.  Is there a way to get it back since I cannot restore?  Is there a way to prevent this? 
    When I updated all 3 of our iPods to IOS 5.01, it also wiped out the ipods, but we were able to sync the apps/games back and keep the progress data.  I'm confused as to what the difference is and if I could have avoided this.
    Thanks! 

    Compare what you did to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nANBANgD40Q.
    This will place it in DFU mode and allow you to restore it.

  • 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.

  • Transfering game data between devices.

    I just bought an iPhone 4S. I have had an iPod Touch 4G for a few months now and have a bunch of games (Angry Birds, Temple Run, Amazing Breaker, etc) with tons of saved data. I was able to sync my iPod to my iTunes to get all my apps on to my iPhone, but there is no saved game data on my iPhone now. Do I just have to replay the games all the way or is there a way to get that saved data on to my iPhone?

    Yes, but you can import the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer before doing so as with any other digitial camera. Follow this by transferring the photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    You can sync the contacts on your iPhone with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for your contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    Before syncing your iPhone contacts with a supported address book app on your computer that is not being used and includes no contact info, enter one contact in the address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    After doing these steps, you can restore your iPhone from the backup for your iPod Touch followed by syncing contacts with the address book app on your computer and transferring the photos/videos imported from your iPhone's Camera Roll back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

  • 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?

  • Reverting to saved game data?

    I'm using an iPhone 5S, version 7.1.1. I am playing the game Dragons: Rise of Berk and spent my in game currency on something and changed my mind. I used iExplorer to save my game data a couple days ago. Can I just load that in and go back to the state of my game from a couple days ago? Do I just replace the game's Documents folder on my phone with the saved one from my computer? Do I risk doing any damage to my game (I still want to be able to play it! ;-)) or my phone itself?
