Progress of my games lost when i sync to new itouch

All progress that is made on the game applications on my iTouch are erased after I sync to my new itouch. I have to start the game over from the start. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

The application data is stored in the backup and is not part of the sync. You should have restored you new iPod Touch with the backup or your previous one, not just sync.

I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch. When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices. How can I keep them separate?

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud.
Basically i have a 16gb ipad2 (big mistake) so space on the ipad is precious. obviously i occasionally need to remove games/apps to make way for other apps from my cloud. The problem is, when I remove an app to make way for the new app I lose all my progress in that game apart from the option to save leader-board stats (which is the least important thing to me). Its very annoying to get so far in a game only to have to remove it to make way for a movie and lose all my progress!!!!!
Any way round this?

I do not know how to save game data when deleting an app, but as for updating, if you connect the ipad to a computer and do the update through itunes, you will not have to download the update package to the ipad just to the computer. so you don't have to free up quite so much space, as for movie and photo storage you can look at the sandisk wireless and airstash wireless SD card adapters, they create their own wireless network and come with apps that allow you to store and then stream movies to the ipad instead of loading them to the ipad storage.

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing, but does not grab the music from my current library.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing but doe not pull the music in my library. Can anyone assist me in figuring out how to sync my iphone? The computer that has my current music library is old so I want to get it synced before it dies...

Download what applications?
Apps in iTunes do not run on computers.
What is the exact error and where specifically is it occurring?

HT1386 Hi when I sync me new iphone 4s to my mac book pro everything is copying across except my contacts, I can see them on the computer in my address book but they will not copy across

Hi
When I sync my new iphone 4s to my mac book everything moves across apart from my contacts, I have cleared the phone and started again but it will not work.

Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
(small world)
Not really certain what you are telling us - - I am not good at computers
A couple of other things that may be tips - -
1 - on wednesday of this week
our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
After that trouble started - -
2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
info - -it will not take. He wanted to try a network start-up .
I forget how that is done.
4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
10.5.8.
Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
into mine like an external device or something like that
I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this and must admit I have no
external enclosrure? but I have an external HD on my I-mac
As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
Thanks from Meffa (lol0 Jim the father

Song order in playlists gets lost when I sync my Zen To

Weird problem here...when I create a playlist in the Creative software on my computer (what is it called, MediaSource or something?), I drag the songs into the order I want them played. However, when I sync to my Zen Touch, the **bleep** thing plays them in alphabetical order according to artists' names. I can't get playlists on my Zen Touch to play in the order I desire. Any thoughts?
TIA!

Be warned that Notmad works in a very different way to MediaSource as it has no concept of a PC Music Library. Basically it works by drag 'n drop of files onto a device within Windows Explorer, but it's on device management functions are great, along with playlist sorting and randomising. Also you can drag and drop playlist files e.g. M3U, and it will convert to a playlist and not copy the files (assuming the files are already present on the player with the same tag data).

IPhoto album cover images are lost when I sync to my iPad and iPhone. Can I fix this?

I have a few albums that I created with iPhoto on my Mac. I picked a cover image, and it has worked on the Mac, but when I view the albums on my iPad or iPhone, the cover image is just the default one - it isn't the one I picked. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPhone are to totally different programs sharing only a name - at this time changes made in one do not sync to the other - only the photos that yu sync when you sync them are synced

IPhone music lost when I got a new iPhone due to theft

My iPhone was stolen and so I had to buy a new one. I got a new cell # when I purchased the new phone. When I synched the iPhone all of my contact info went to my iPhone byt NONE of my music did. When I check my Id info, it is all correct. Does anyone know how I can get my music? My frustration with the web site is that there is no apparent way to communicate with Apple about this.
Thanks

Hello Richard. I am sorry to see your having this issue. And I am sorry to see you had an issue with the iPhone.
As stated when you purchase content from iTunes Store it is stored on your PC/Mac. So when you open up iTunes. And you view your Library do you have music? If so the nothing is missing.
If music is there. Then is your issue that the music just will not Sync over? If so we can assist.
If your music is actually gone. We can assist some what. But we can not assist with recovering anything that did not come from the iTunes Store.
Posted below is the link on how to find lost music.

If you can not find it or the link does not help. Fill out the forum on the bottom of that page. And an iTunes Store Support agent will do their best to assist you with this issue.

HT4157 All my texts on my iphone stopped working when I synced my new mini ipad with the same ID as my iphone. ATT said was that was the reasons my texts failed. How do I give my mini ipad a new apple ID and still be able to sync the iphone and iPad?

My texts all failed when I synced my iphone 4S to my new mini ipad with cellular. ATT said I needed to create a separate ID for the mini ipad in order for texting to work. Will separate apple IDs still enable me to sync my iphone to my mini ipad?

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

Gray ! on 100 records when I sync with new version of iTunes 10.2.1.1

I have a Ipod classic 30g. I have 4079 songs in my iTunes. I am using Windows 7 on an ACER Extensa. I have my music on an external hard drive. The same place it has always been. Since I upgraded to the new version of iTunes when I sync my Ipod it randomly marks 100 records with the gray circle with a ! in it. Showing that it is not connected. I check the songs are still on the drive in the same location. I go into the control panel of my computer use the repair function and all the ! are gone. As soon as I try to sync iTunes selects 100 songs and does not sync them to my Ipod. After the first time I added more songs and there was no change to the number of songs not synced. Any suggestions?

I only have songs no other media. The specs for my Ipod say it should hold 7500 songs. This problem only started after upgrading to the newest version of iTunes 10.2.1.1

I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Can't get Entourage calendar to sync with new iTouch

I am trying to Sync my Entourage calendar from my Mac to my new iTouch. I've marked the Entourage box in iTunes Info but that just seems to bring up an Entourage file inside of iCal which I never use and seems to be corrupted with random and massively duplicated items. Is there any way to sync Entourage calendar?

I know that there's an Apple Support article on this somewhere, but I don't have the link saved.
Here's an article from Entourage that may help a little:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/syncservices/basics.html
Basically, you have to let Mac OS's built in Sync Services allow Entourage to sync with iCal and then iCal will sync with the touch.
I personally never do anything in iCal either, but successfully have everything in my Entourage calendar on my iPod Touch because I let iCal be the go-between.
