Missing all app data

I just upgraded to the 4S yesterday. They activated it at the store but didn't transfer any of my apps/data (my contacts, etc are synced with MobileMe). I plugged my phone into iTunes and it synced the apps, but not the layout or more importantly, the data. I've already manually redone the app organization, but now realize I'm still missing all my music, photos from the old phone, and all the data in my apps. How do I restore all of this on the new phone? The first time I plugged in the phone to iTunes, I wasn't given the option to restore from a backup, though I did back up the old phone before getting the new one. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
Cheers,
Jen

Ok - I figured out how to restore my phone from the backup of my 3GS, so my app data and photos are back in place, but none of my music transfered from the backup. Thoughts?

How to move all app data from one user to another? (One mac)

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while. So recently, I've made a new account for myself, since I was using my mom's user account. I don't want to keep all of my files, emails, and icloud on her user, since it's used by everyone in my family. I use iMail now because hotmail blocked my email because "Someone hacked me" and they kept it locked for all these months, and I can't give enough proof to show it was mine, since I forgot every email I've sent now.
And iMail is pretty cool, adding your own rules and stuff. Except you don't need a password to log in. I just deactivate my iMail via system preferences as a log-out, and then re-activate it as a log-in.
So, back to the question.
How can I move ALL app data from my mom's user account to my new one? Her acount also has pictures of our germany vacation. So not every file.
You see, I game on my mac mostly because steam is really complicated, using internet just to play a game that doesn't need internet and stuff.
And steam doesn't have a lot of casual games.
So I want to move my game data, save files and every little piece of application info that my games have on my mom's account to mine. I've asked this question on Yahoo answers, and all I got was an answer of "File IS data, or datum itself, You are wrong. I cannot give you an answer." -.-
I'm not experienced with terminal either, so I'll need a ton of explanation of how to use it if that's how it can be done. It really really confuses me and I'll just give up.
Thanks in advance.

Lost all app data and former backups after iTunes 11 update

I just updated to iTunes 11. I'm using Windows 8 Pro x64 and an Apple iPhone 5 32GB. Before the update I made a backup of my iPhone.
So far, so good.
Problems that occured after the update:
1. One Music CD in my library was split into two albums with titles 1-4 and 5-13. I fixed that manually.
2. Available space on my iPhone decreased after the update. I've got an iPhone 5 with 32GB capacity. Before the update and sync with iTunes 11 I had like almost 5GB of empty space. Now it's only 1.31GB. There are not more apps, music, pictures etc. on my iPhone than before the update.
3. All data of apps like balance (budget tool), Momento (diary) is gone! Apps like Dropbox lost their settings.
Hence, I decided to restore the data from the backup I made just before updating to iTunes 11. THIS BACKUP IS GONE!! I'm no IT newbie and I'm an iPhone user since the iPhone 3.
I just wish I would have not updated to iTunes 11. Apple Switzerland's Support was not able to help. They said if the backup is gone, data is lost ;(

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If you have synced your device on two separate days then the current state of your device backup will no longer have the stored data for the apps that were removed. If however you have not resynced since noticing the problem then, once the library is restored, it may be possible to restore the device to bring back the missing app data.

Stripping all apps, data, etc out of iPAD 1

I am selling my ipad 1 and want to delete all apps, email, personal information, etc. How to do this?
thanks!

Plug into iTunes. Then go to tools at the top and restore. You will be able to select 'restore as a new device' which will wipe everything clean! :)
Let me know if this helps...

Recovered Ipad after Bricked IOS 4.3 installation missing all apps

Managed to recover my Ipad after getting it bricked from Apple Update software. All the apps were gone once I got it started though and my settings had to be fixed. Just getting all the apps back was a nuisance in itself until I realised, that my Keynote was included in the list of missing apps. And my 24 hours of work. Could someone please tell me how to recover the files kept in the lost Keynote, I am going slightly mad,
Thanks!

How to swap memory card with all apps, data etc.

Hi,
Currently I have a 2GB memory card on my E63 (latest firmware), which has 3 'paid-for' applications and several free downloaded applications, loads of mp3s etc. I have purchased a 4GB memory card already, and would like to "do something" that would help me retain the entire contents of the current 2GB memory card, onto the 4GB memory card, s.t. apart from extra file space (which I plan to use for photos, videos, music), all other applications and current content remain available on the new card, w/o any other impact. I believe that backing up and restoring via 'Nokia PC Suite' won't save my apps, and only some of the data. E.g. it won't save the eBooks I have.
Thanks in anticipation for the help.
cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Easy.
Connect the E63 in "mass storage" mode.
Go into "My Computer", open the removable drive that will have appeared when you connected the phone. Enable the display of hidden and system objects (this bit is crucial, but I don't know how to do this not being a Windows user myself).
Once you have the display of all objects enabled, create a new folder on your desktop and then copy all of the files/folders in the phone over to it.
Next, disconnect the phone and eject the memory card. Insert the new one and format it in the phone (that'll be in your phone's manual).
Reconnect the phone in mass storage mode. Grab all the objects in the folder that you created on your desktop, including hidden and system objects, and drag'n'drop them over to the phone.
Disconnect the phone once everything has been copied over -- don't forget to use the "safely disconnect USB device" thing in the computer's notification zone.
Job done.

Missing All Apps in iTunes AND can't update iphone software

APP PROBLEM- just happened today
There are zero apps showing in my app folder all of the sudden. My phone shows that 77 updates are available, and yet, not a single app shows up in the apps folder itself. When I click "check for updates" in the app folder, again nothing.
IPHONE SOFTWARE PROBLEM- been happening for months
When I plug in my phone to update and sync it says I have software version 4.1 and "A newer version of the iphone software is available (v 4.2). Click to update" so I click "update" and then it says "This version of itunes (9.2) is the current version". Well I didn't click update itunes, i clicked update for the iphone software. So I can't update the software. I have a 2nd gen iphone.
The only change that's happened is I think I tried downloading the newest version of itunes and it said my operating system is too old for it. So, itunes 9 opens fine, my music is in there. All of my apps have disappeared and I can't update my iphone software. Please help.

Thank you. So, as far as the iphone update, I'm out of luck unless I get a new operating system, right?
Yes, I tried restarting my computer to see if they would reappear. I just checked the library on my hard drive and I can't see any applications there. They are still not coming up in the apps folder in the itunes library either.
Any ideas?

Firefox won't open, error msg = can't find profile; deleted all app.data to rid new Win 7 Total Security virus - tried both v 4.0 & v 3.6 (now no error msg either). Can't open profile manager, can't open safe mode. pls help

My mother's computer was infected with the new "Win 7 Total Security" virus (apparently a fake antivirus program) - corrupted real av. To remove, we followed online advice to delete everything in AppData, for all programs, plus some other stuff. We moved it all to a flashdrive for safety, but after successfully removing virus, likewise cleaned & reformatted flashdrive. This apparently deleted Firefox profile(s), and after uninstalling & reinstalling, Firefox still won't open - I can't create a new profile. With v 4.0, I get an error message about not being able to find the profile. Found advice on how to open profile manager, but it won't open. Found reference to version 4 dispensing with profile manager, so tried installing version 3.6 again; still won't open, still can't open profile manager, but now no error message at all.

THANX for the reply cor-el. I've never had a problem using just "firefox -p", but i did use the full path like you advised after i read the profile manager article here before i posted my question. Unfortunately it didn't work. I've backed up all 3 profiles from the "%appdata% profile" file, and also from my remaining main profile that i'm on right now. I decided i'm going to uninstall ff3.6.28 & upgrade to "firefox 11" this weekend and hopefully create the other 2 profiles along with my main one. I do like in the newer versions of FF the tabs on top like googles chrome because it gives you more room on the page. I also like some other features too, but the main reason i kept my old version both times is because the newer versions didn't seem to load pages any faster than version 3.6.28. I'm not going to worry about some themes/personas not being compatible with ff11. I'll find some new ones. I think when i tried "ff9" awhile back along with my current version, i just deleted the shortcut that the article said to create on the desktop and still had all 3 profiles & no problems like i have now. In case your curious, the article on how to create more than one version of firefox at the same time was on the site "Dottech.org>[How To] Tip: Install multiple versions of Firefox to test before upgrading to latest release". It works but i obviously did something different this time that caused this problem. THANX again for your time/help, i do appreciate it.

How to backup 3rd party apps data?

Hi All,
I have problem with backup 3rd party apps data, i was using iphone 3G start from version 2.2.0
I was purchased and free download some apps from itunes i.e: safe note, picture safe 2, IM+, skype and some apps can be allow keeping data or record.
But after i update to OS3.0, i found most of 3rd party apps data and setting was missing.
This really waste my time to manually write it down and key it back or setting back.
please Apple and apps provide company think about this problem. can just make it simple, when we doing backup, all apps data and record also can safe it. Then we not need keep doing double work.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

How to transfer SOME apps + app data from one iPad to another

I have an iPad1 that has tons of apps on it (I call it my app graveyard).
I have an iPad2 that has my primary apps and this is the iPad that I use on a daily basis.
I want to move an App and the Saved Data from the iPad1 to the iPad2. How do I do this?
Again, I don't want to restore everything... just a couple of Apps + their SAVED data from my iPad1 to my iPad2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you restore from a backup - the process is an "all or nothing" deal. You restore all app data and settings. You cannot select just one set of app data to restore.
You can download the one app only to the other iPad but you cannot restore the data from just one app. It's just not possible to do.

Purchased "Moneypad app" missing in App Store. I've used that app for more than a year and all my financial records are in it. I have the backup but I need the app. How can a purchased app go missing??? Is that even legal??

I've used "Moneypad" app to record my financial transaction for over a year and I got an update today. After updating all the icons where misplaced and there were a lot of bugs in the app. The update said "Restore original app icon". So I decided to delete it and reinstall the app but now i couldn't find the application in the itunes store both through my Macbook air and my iphone 5. What do I do now?? how can a purchased app go missing? Is it even legal to delete apurchased app from the itunes store?? What happened to my money and the worst part is my records cant be used in anyother application but "Moneypad". There were 2 version of the app in the store. One was free and the other One was paid. The free app is still there but the paid One is gone!! Please respond to this issue as soon as possible! I need it to record my daily transactions or it would mess up my work a lot! Thankyou.

I did buy it long back! and now,I downloaded the free version and it requires me to buy it again to make it pro. and NO I dont have a copy of the application with me! I juz have the backup of the app data with me! and "
MoneyPad√ " is the trial version. The original version which was Rs.220 in India when i got it was named "MoneyPad" without the mathematical symbol. Please is there any way i could get that application back?? I purchased the application and i've got all rights to own it! and what do you mean by "App developers can remove their apps from the store at any time"? So Can I upload some stupid app claiming to be something else and costing around $100 and delete it as soon as someone purchases it??

Lost all contact info. All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing. When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file". This is very frustrating

I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

Missing all user-installed Apps after restore after failed 3.1.3 upgrade

I upgraded my 3G to 3.1.3. iTunes (9.0.2.25 on Windows 7 PC) first backed up the iPhone and then proceeded with the upgrade, which failed (never had this happen before) and forced me to do a restore from the latest backup. After the restore, I seem to have all my data in the native apps, but all user-downloaded apps are missing. I expected them to be present after the restore... No???? I didn't keep apps synced back to my iTunes previously. Are they all lost?

Update: I see ~370 megs of 'Other' usage and expect that to be my apps... but don't see any apps still.

I lost all the data from 3g to 4g for apps, utilities, games etc. How can I get it without starting all over again

When I synced the new phone, it gave me the icons for all the Apps but when I went to get on one it said I had never been there, the syc/restore did not give me all the data. I got pictures, but everything else is as if I just started. HELP
