Manually sync iphone & restoring files for particular app on particular date

Hi,
I opened up a text file for a particular application (PlainText), and accidentally deleted some stuff. I was under the impression that app data got synchronised, so I thought that I would be able to examine the unmodified text by opening up itunes on the pc and looking at the app data for PlainText. However when I did that, I soon realised that there was no way to even examine the files for PlainText unless the iphone was connected. When I connected the iphone, chose Apps->File Sharing->Apps->Plain text, and then downloaded the data (via "Save To..") onto Desktop, I found that the modified text file was the one which was downloaded onto desktop. I have several questions :
1)Is the app data in this section synchronised?
2)If (1) = yes, then was the reason that I could only view the modified text file due to the fact that automatic synchronisation is taking place when I connect my iphone to computer
3)If (2) = yes, then is there a way to manually sync app data.
4)Is there any way to view the files for a particular app from the last time I synchronised the iphone with the computer? i.e. Some way which will allow me to undo the changes like the above. I do realise that there is an undo feature in the iphone by shaking the phone, but I didnt realise it at the time and therefore lost the data.
Thanks

I think the answer to (1) is no for the following reason. Just now whilst the iphone was connected to itunes I created a file & folder in PlainText in the iphone, and these automatically appeared on itunes on the pc. So this particular section just seems to be the current snapshot of the iphone and not a snapshot of the apps at the last sync.

  • Saving files for metro apps in Windows 8/8.1 when printing

    Hi,
    I have a query regarding saving files for metro apps Windows 8/8.1.
    Metro apps saves the file automatically  to the Document folder when we print.
    But I would like to save the files into a recommened folder like C:\users\tmp\
    Please suggest me, is there a way to save the files to a particular folder for metro apps in Windows 8/8.1.
    Thanks in Advance

    As far as I know (and I may be wrong), there's no built-in file saving when printing documents.  How are you confirming that?
    You can save the file anywhere you want, as long as the user chooses the folder location using the FolderPicker.

  • Redirect Iphone restore file in iTunes

    I have a corporate pc with a disk space limitation. Unfortunately, iTunes places the iPhone restore file in the C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates folder and that folder is within the space limitation. The restore file is 254 MB and I need to place is in a folder outside the "Documents and Settings" folder but I still want the backup functionality.
    Does anyone know how I can move the file and redirect iTunes to the new path?
    I've reached my user desktop space limitation (~1,1 GB) and need to do something about it now.
    Thank you very much in advance

    First off that is not the backup file, that is the software restore file. You can safely delete any files in that folder and iTunes will merely redownload them if the need arises for you to restore your phone. The backups are located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup on Vista and C:\Documents and Settings\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup on XP (not sure about the Macs) iTunes will frequently have several un-needed backups (not the most recent) so you should look at the last edited on date and delete all but the most recent to save space and you will still have a backup to restore from.

  • System config files for Labview App

    In Win 7, I am building a Labview project.  Where should I store the user selected system specific configuration files for the app operation?  Things like data directories, log file directories, etc

    If you mean your own build application
    WHat I do in my projects is the following :
    - LabVIEWs ini file in the same folder as exe
    - Log files in directory logfiles next to exe
    - other data files like settings, configuration etc in a datafolder next to the exe
    If you mean with your source code
    - create folders for every type of VI : globals, controls(typedef), subVI, FGLB, ...
    - create a datafolder for your datafiles your using
    - create logfolder for your logfiles

  • On my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

    hello I need help,
    on my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

    Why is it in someone else's name?
    Did you get this iPhone from that someone else?
    If so they should have released the iPhone form their account before giving it to you.
    All purchases made with that account will be forever tied to it and will require it to update in the case of Apps.
    If nothing has been purchased, you can go into Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and sign out of their account there , and sign in with your own.

  • Mobileprovision files for each app?

    Do I need to creat new mobileprovision files for each app our company creates?

    Yes, you need to create mobileprovision files for each app. The mobileprovision files include information in the App ID that you set up in the Apple iOS Developer Portal. If your app includes push notifications, you also need push certificates (.p12) for each app. But you can use the same .p12 developer and distribution certificates for all your apps.
    Here's what my certificate folder structure looks like for my apps:
    dev.bringhurst.p12
    dist.bringhurst.p12
    <DPS Tips folder>
         dev_dpstips.mobileprovision
         dist_dpstips.mobileprovision
         push_dev_dpstips.p12
         push_prod_dpstips.p12
    <NW_Scenery folder>
         dev_nws.mobileprovision
         dist_nws.mobileprovision
         push_dev_nws.p12

  • How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

    How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • HT1535 When manually syncing, iPhone gets stuck on "preparing to update files"

  • ICloud synced the wrong file for Infinity Blade II saved game, lost a lot of progress.

    iCloud did not correctly sync a file between my iPhone 4s and my iPad.  The save file for Infinity Blade II was last updated on the iPhone. When I tried to load the game on iPad, it reverted to an earlier version. How do I restore the right file?

    Aside from the sync services such as contacts, mail, etc, the only way other data in the form of files are saved to iCloud are 1) a backup of app data to iCloud (this assumes backups are turned on as well as the app, see Settings>iCloud>storage and backups), and 2) individual apps that save their own data files, not as backups per se, but for syncing purposes.
    I'm assuming you have been discussing (2). you haven't mentioned doing a restore, and I wouldn't recommend that at this point. Version control if it were used would have to be the responsibility of the app.  iCloud does not implement that on its own and I'm sure Apple wouldn't want to provide that feature as users would quickly run out of iCloud storage.

  • How do i sync iphone with computer for first time?

    Need help to sync my iphone4S with my Mac

    You should just be able to plug it in to your Mac once you setup your iPhone, iOS 5 has allowed phones to be setup without the need of a computer. You just sign in with your Apple ID and presto. For your apps/music/etc it's easiest to get it on the iPhone over a USB connection since most people have at least 1GB of each (which is a lot of data to wirelessly transfer via iCloud or even Wi-fi Sync). When you plugin your phone, your iPhone will show up on the left hand bar, that's where you go and modify most of your sync settings, etc.

  • Manually Sync iPhone with iCloud & Devices

    I am manually Syncing iCal my Mac with iCal on iCloud. Can I manually sync my iPhone iCal with iCloud iCal.
    I have stopped syncing at the moment because the iPhone battery was running out in a few hours and the phone was running hot and syncing just wasn't working. After 5 minutes of tunring off iCal/iCloud syncing my iPhone cooled down. Afer one hour the battery charge has sayed the same.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.
