Restore Game Data?

Is there any way to restore my progress in a game if I have to delete and re-install it? I'm looking to Re-Install Angry Birds and have a Game Center and Crystal account but want to know for sure if I can restore my progress or not?

It depends on the app. If the app stores it's data on the iPhone, then it will be gone once you delete it (unless you restore the entire phone from iTunes with the last good backup containing that data). If the app stores it's data on a web server someplace, then erasing the app will not affect your progress.
It may be better to check on that app's website before deleting to see what they recommend.

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.

Restoring game data

On a game ap I accidentally pushed the icould button and it restored the ap and stared the whole game information. How can I restore my game info

You probably can't if the app is syncing data with iCloud. If it isn't, you may be able to recover your game progress by restoring your last backup. You would have to ask the app developer if the app data is synced with iCloud, and if so, if it can be recovered.

Best way to restore game app data to iPad after rebuild

I rebuilt my UMBP over the weekend. Before doing so I took a copy of my documents, movies etc, and the entire iTunes library folder and placed it onto an external HDD. This was not a Time Machine backup, but a straight copy. After rebuilding, reinstalled latest iTunes and copied just the songs back across and re-authorized the library. I didn't copy the entire folder into the new place, but I still have all the items.
When I went to connect the wifes iPad for sync, it begins the whole "new device" process and must be "erased to sync." Problem with this is she has one or two apps on there with significant game data (Bejeweled for instance) that she doesn't want to loose.
Any advice on best way to resolve this, i.e. able to connect the iPad and sync to rebuilt machine without losing the data? Can I obtain the old backup(s) from the folder and use that or am I better just copying the entire folder across from the external drive onto the rebuilt machine. I did have a search and while there is plenty of backup / restore advice, nothing seems to match my situation 100%.
Thanks in advance.

Try to backup manually. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your device, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. This will copy all settings, photos and 3rd party data including your game settings to iTunes. Do the same thing to transfer your purchases to be sure to have the latest apps and media copied over.
Set up at least one contact and event on the computer, so that calendars and contacts are being merged during the first sync.
Since all data will be erased during this first sync, use this backup to restore your settings afterwards.

Ipad Restore: If I restore to factory settings do I lose my game data?

I was having some issues with my iPad. The keyboard was slow and sometimes non-responsive. I have found a temperary fix but would like my iPad to be back to normal (or more so then now). I went to simply computing and was told to try restoring to factory settings. Needless to say I forgot to ask what would happen to my data. If I restore my iPad to factory settings will I lose my game data? Will I have to start all over on my games? I have been playing some games for about a year and really don't want to have to start from the beginning... Please any information will help.

Will I Lose Game Data If I Restore To Factory Settings?

Just a quick question, even though i've backed up my ipod would I lose game data (i.e highscores and levels) if I was to restore it to factory settings?... obviously I mean once i've restored the backup. Cheers

As long as you back up before you restore you are fine.

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.

Will game data erase if I restore my iPod?

My iPod's been acting up so I'm going to restore it, but, if I do, will I have to start over on all the 6 purchased games I own?
20" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) iLife '06, Microsoft Office 2004, and I'm single! (hey, it says other details..)

Sadly, yes, all of your game data is erased when you restore your iPod. You will have to go back through the process just when you first put it on your iPod.

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?

IPhone 4 to iPad - game data restoring

Hi I just bought my new iPad - and this is the situation I have.
I currently have an iPhone 4 and i set up an account (A) for itunes - to purchase apps and music, use this account (A) as well for iCloud and Game Center.
For the iPad, I setup another account (B) for iCloud and Game Center (as this device will be used by all my family members) and I will use the other account (A) for the itunes - to purchase apps and music.
If I had the same game downloaded on the iPhone 4 and iPad - how is it possible to transfer my existing game data from iPhone 4 to iPad.
Kind Regards

I do the same thing. 16gb wifi ipad 2 and teather to my ATT iphone 4... I too get the chain link, and at times it does not work as well. What I do, is turn my ipad off, and then back on.. And then reestablish my link. All is well after that.
I have not had a chance to try it since the most recent update to both devices, so unaware if the new updates fixed the problem, but it does seem like a bug to me.
I hope I've been some help
