Restore game progress deletes Siri

To keep game progress, I restored my new iPhone 4S to my old iPhone4 backup, only to find Siri gone. I've restored it back to 'new' and selected 'New iPhone' instead of restore to backup and Siri is back but I can't copy games and maintain my progress in them. Is there any way around this without losing Siri?

You are correct! You post inspired me to try one more time and bingo, it worked.
To recap:
I restored new 4s to 4 backup and Siri was gone
I reverted back to new iphone and selected 'new iphone' and Siri was back
I've just reverted back to new iphone and restored to 4 backup and Siri was there with game progress restored.
This implied the iPhone shipped had different installed sw to the restore through iTunes.

You would have to restore your entire backup to recover your game progress.

After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
My Question is this;
What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
Thanks

Two ways.
- You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions

All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
- Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

Some ways to get space
You can first remove seldom used apps. If you decide later you want them back you can always download them again. You can also download the Dropbox app and off load some of your little used pics and files to open up space. The app is free and you get 2 gb of free storage and if you get friends to install Dropbox they will give you 500 extra mb for each friend who installs it. Many apps will let you save direct to Dropbox.

If I restore my ipod will my game progress be lost

I need to restore my sons ipod, will his game progress be restored too or will it all be lost?

Not if you back it up, then restore the backup after restoring it. The backup includes app data. In the case of games, this normally includes game progress.

Will I lose game progress if I restore

I have a lot of other memory on my iPad 2 and want to know if I restore it will I lose all my game progress in things such as tribez and ice age island ( if I back up on my pc )

If you restore to factory settings only - yes you will lose the game progress because you will be wiping everything off of the iPad.
If you create a backup first, then restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes at the very end of the process, that will restore your saved progress to the games on the iPad.
But keep this in mind ... there may be something in that backup that is casuing that bloated "other" and if you restore from the backup and the bloated "other" comes back - the only way to get rid of it is to restore the iPad and not use the backup.
Read this before you restore the iPad.

Restore as new iPad but recover game progress

I have to restore my iPad 2 because a Restrictions passcode was put on it and has been forgotten, preventing me from installing or removing any apps.
I restored from an iCloud backup, but it also restored the passcode.
I want to set the iPad up as a new iPad so as to not be forced into using a passcode. However, my kids and my wife want to keep their games progress.
Is this possible?

Yes. It's a pain in the rear but you can. Either iPhone Hacks or iPhone Central has a solution for your problem. Just google it; you'll find the way. Be patient and read the directions carefully.

Updated games and they have been waiting for almost 24 hours. I don't want to lose the progress on the game by deleting and re-installing. Any suggestions?

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.

How to transfer Game Center games progress from old iPad to new iPad ?

How do I transfer game progress to new iPad 2 from old iPad1, especially from Game Center? I got a new iPad 2 for Christmas, and have many games with a lot of time and not to mention money invested in them. How can I get my game levels back to the way theyare in ipad1. ??! Help!

If you use the same iTunes account then your scores will be carried over from Gamecenter, but not necessarily your progress. If you want the games to keep your progress, back up your original iPad and then, for your new iPad, "restore" it with the backup of your original. Your game progress should follow the backup, but no guarantees that it will for every app.

I transfer all my games from my iphone to my pad, but the game progress is lost.... i signed on to game centre it shows all my scores and progress but when i try to play with the games, all my progress and scores disappears... can anyone help???

Hi bubbles213,
The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it. This article will walk you through the steps:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

Restoring Game Cener

Hi,
My son has an 8GB 4thGen Touch and manged to reset it last night. Luckily I back everything up and was able to restore it to how he had it set up, with one exception. I can't get Game Center to allow him to log back in with his AppleID. If we try to log back in it say that the AppleID hasn't been registered, if we set up a new account it says his username is already in use. I have all of the passwords,etc written down, so I known they're correct. He can sign into facetime & messages so I know the AppleID is live. I've re-set the password and still get the same results.

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.

I have tried everything I know so please help I am trying to get the game progress in my iphone apps to my ipad "3" every time i sync, i get the apps but not the progress in the games

I have tried everything i can think of to get the game progress from my iphone 4 games to my 3rd gen wifi ipad Only two games synced with all progress I really want to get Tap Zoo2 onto my ipad with all game progress Any ideas? Thanks for the help

Two ways:
- Restore the iPad from the backup of the iPhone. Make sure all the apps are in the iTunes library.
