Restoring app saves after resetting iPod Touch (PLEASE HELP!)

Not so long ago I realised that my iPod Touch was lagging a bit. Anyway, almost everywhere I looked said that I should backup my data (which I thought I had done, as I had followed every step according to iFunBox), beforehand.
So, anyway, now that I have reset it, all my games (bar the odd Facebook synced app), want me to restart. I have logged into Game Center, tried to get iFunbox to put the files back on, etc. but nothing works.
Does anyone know how I can get all my saves back (there's been a fair bit spent on these games so I will be really disgruntled if I have to restart).
Thanks guys

Just restore from backup.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch, please help.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch.
I already downloaded some applications in itunes, hoping to sync it to my ipod touch. However, there is no button for Apps in my ipod touch.
And in the partitions of my ipod touch memory (music, photos, videos), there is no space for Applications.
Please help, thanks!

Oh this is quite easy to solve!
1) First connect iPod to computer
2) Launch iTunes
3) On the left hand side of iTunes, under Library, there is an Apps header?
4) When you click on that, you should see your downloaded apps?
5) A little lower down, you'll see your iPod under Devices, drag apps over your iPod's list (over the music, photos, videos area as you mentioned), you'll that that area is highlighted, release left mouse button to drop them apps!
6) Copying ensues ...
7) Check iPod
8) Back at iTunes, click on your iPod's name, look at the right side, you'll see a summary page right?
9) At the top of that page, one of the menu item is Apps, click on that and you'll see a replica of sorts of your iPod, unchecking apps (or selecting by checking) and then hitting Apply button below, will apply the changes you made onto your iPod.
10) You can also arrange your iPod from there if you like.
That was a lot of steps, but its pretty simple to perform, and the last few wasn't really neccessary, it does look more impressive to write a long list of steps however.

HT4436 I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same.

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?

Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

I have purchased a few apps and after synching ipod touch disaster

the other day i purchased 3 applications for my ipod touch. After I synched the ipod 1 app was working fine, 1 the app was on the ipod but would not work, and the last didn't synch at all. I have gone to the website and did everything they told me to do and then some and i am getiing more and more frustrated. Now they are trying to charge me for 2 apps that i dont have and i refuse to pay for then since not working

- What are the specific app? Maybe they are not compatible? Have you tried deleting the ones that do not work? See the following for how to do that without being charged again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
- You can also report the problem to APP/iTunes. First I would try going to the developer's website. That may have information.

On iPod touch do they charge for apps like facetime or imessage or do those apps come with the ipod. Please help!

Im wondering because Im getting an iPod touch in one hour, so I know whether or not to bring extra money so i can get an iTunes card and download these apps.

FaceTime comes with the 4G iPod. Nothing extra to purchase. The Messages App comes with iOS 5 and nothing extra to purchase.

Itunes (Mac) won't recognize ipod touch - please help!!

Hi. I have a brand new 4th-gen ipod Touch. I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.1 on a Macbook. I have three other ipods (classic, shuffle x 2) and they all work fine. THe USB cable and port work fine with other ipods (and with this one on the rare occasions it works properly) and the ipod touch, when it's cooperating, seems to function OK so I don't think it's a hardware failure. It hasn't been dropped/wet, and I've only used it for 4 days.
Bit of a saga and I'm getting seriously fed up!
The ipod touch synced OK the first time I went to set it up, I installed some music/apps and all seemed fine. Then the next time itunes wouldn't recognize it so I couldn't sync (it just charges through the USB but does nothing else). So I ran through all the suggested tests on Apple support (turning on/off, checking I had the right versions of stuff, etc), that didn't help so I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10. That worked, and the ipod touch synced and I was able to use it again. BUT, the day after that, it went back to not being recognized. Tried everything again, reinstalled itunes - that worked. Then the next day... not recognized again!
So I phoned Apple support, and the guy told me to hard reset and restore factory settings, which I did but it failed: first time it didn't restore (was just same as before). Second time I tried it froze and I got Error #1611. Tried again and got Error #1618 which isn't even listed on the Apple Support page the error message links to (by this stage it was showing the plug into itunes screen you get when you first turn it on, but only when plugged into a USB port - wouldn't turn on when not connected). So I called Apple Support again (different person this time) and was told it was a possible hardware failure and I should take it to my local Apple Reseller.
Apple Reseller staff looked at it, confirmed that it'd only turn on when connected to computer, so they plugged it into one of theirs and restored the factory settings. THis time successful (ipod working again) but went to sync to itunes and AGAIN it wouldn't recognized it. Went through the whole uninstall/reinstall process for itunes and got the ipod to sync. But now.... not recognized again!! I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling itunes every time I want to sync the ipod, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?

I think I might have fixed it (touch wood, cross fingers, etc)...
Here's what I did:
In Finder, under "Go", select "Go to folder".
When the box comes up, enter this folder name: /system/library/launchdaemons
Click "go"
Locate this file: com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
Put it in the trash
(NB: there's also a file called "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" in that folder - don't touch that one)
Restart computer
Open itunes, connect ipod
If the ipod appears in itunes, restart and try again to confirm it's working.
This came from instructions someone else posted on another Apple discussion about an ipod touch not syncing. That reply said to do the software updates from the Apple menu first, but I did that and they failed to install but the above still worked, so the updates might not be necessary.

Several issues with iPod touch. please help!

Ok. So i have several issues going on with my iPod touch. i got it for Christmas in 2010, i have recently updated it. after the update these issues have happened.
1. Screen won't rotate. Photos won't rotate. The screen won't rotate for horizontal keyboard use. Even for some apps that you have to rotate the screen, it just wont rotate. i have tried everything! i have read other discussions about this issue and they said there is a lock with an arrow around it in the top right corner, in my ipod there is not.
2. After i updated my iPod i noticed about 20 of my songs went missing! they are no where to be found on my iPod AND my iTunes! I purchased all of those 20 songs and am kind of mad they randomly disappeared. i have looked in every place a song could be and they are not there.
3. I have recently downloaded some apps and wheni went to try them, they would almost load and then crash and go back to the home screen. a bunch of my apps do that now. i have tried restarting my iPod and i have tried to open the apps like a million times and everytime they crash and goes to the home screen of my iPod. they are all free apps. some of the apps are: Impossible Test: summer, angry birds, angry birds: rio, angry birds: seasons. some of them i have been able to play a couple times, then they randomly stared crashing.
someone please help me with these problems! thank you!

For #1:
- Have you restored the iPod from backup?
- Have your restored the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod?
If restoring from backup does not solve a problem then your likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
For #2:
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes then you can redownload music via the iCloud beta. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you can contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload. See:
Apple - Support - iTunes
For #3:
Try:

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Major Issues with iPod Touch - Please help!

Hi, I am having major issues with my iPod, and nothing seems to be going right. It all started a few days after I got it for Christmas. I would wake up, and my iPod would be completely discharged even though it had a full battery and was turned off. I woke up one night and found that it came on all by myself. I sent it into iPod, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Since I got it back today and within six hours, I have had four software crashes to the point where I have had to uninstall iTunes and restore factory settings four times. I am now on my fifth crash, but this time, the screen won't even come on. It keeps saying that it is in recovery mode. I simply went to turn it on! Does anyone have any suggestions? Personally, I think there is a short, and that I need a new a replacement. However, it doesn't seem like Apple is very supportive of the idea. I go through all of their steps over and over and over, and the same thing happens! What is going on? Please help.
Marie

sounds like, for the charging problem anyways, that you are just putting ipod into "Stand by" mode... press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds and an option to power off will actually come on.. if u just press it and let go, it just goes to stand by.. i have noticed stand by drains my battery
also, it doesn't sound like a short to me... the charging i am pretty sure is bc you are only putting it into standby however, the rest sounds like software.. did u try and restore using itunes or did you just reset the factory defaults?? Plug it into itunes and click restore under the ipod menu...

Apple support can not recover my app material after IOS5 update. Please help

For 4 days I have tried to get Apple to help recover my lost data from my IPad. I had backed it up previously but it is not found on my computer after the ios5 upgrade. All the materials on all my apps and my purchased book about steve jobs is gone. please help!

You need to restore your iPad from your most recent backup in iTunes to get back your settings and app data. If you can't find a backup, your data may be lost. If you'll tell us what OS your computer is running, we can tell you where to look for the backup files.
Your music, videos, apps and books from the iTunes Store should be in iTunes and can be synched back, but if not for some reason, you can download them again:

Itunes cant read my ipod touch, please help!

I've had this problem a LOOT and i looked into it on apple support, tried calling, i even took it into the store and they couldn't help me any more than resetting my firmware to factory settings.

Please help due to the fact that it's tiring to keep resetting to factory settings! i plugged it in to make a backup and now i can't because of this. I have lots of music and movies so Pleaaase help.

If the Apple Mobile Device driver is not the problem or you need more help see:

or

If you come back with the wording of the error mesage we can probably provide more specific recommendations.

Issues with game center after updating Ipod! Please help

After updating my daughters Ipod touch it wouldn't let us login to her game center account. Is there a way to look up her apple id for game center just by her game center name and nickname? When we login with her email address she had to create a new nickname and everything however we have previous emails from friend requests. Can anyone help us? I don't know what else to do she doesn't want to loose all the games that she has been playing for months. It's weird how it says her email is a new apple id when that is what she used before to create her game center account. All help appreciated. Thanks.

Try holding down the sleep/wake and home button until iPhone shuts off. Then hold down the home button while plugging into your computer. Your iphone is now in recovery mode. iTunes will detect this, and you can attempt to restore/update from there.
Best of luck.
