System restore - lose app data?

Hello,
I need to do a system restore on my mother's iPad Air. She is an avid player of certain games on Facebook. I'm wondering if her data, i.e. FB Slotomania bank roll, will be deleted....? I'm thinking no, but would just like to confirm. Thanks!!

Cap, you may be right on that, if the FaceBook account and all associated content are associated with her and NOT your Apple ID then she will be ok with you switching the Apple IDs.
Is the iPad she has one that came with FaceBook installed or did you install FaceBookusing yourq Apple ID? If the FaceBook app came preinstalled then she owns it and the coins...as I understand how FB works.
You can do a simple test, go to Settings > FaceBook and check how the account and password are entered. Check the Settings for FB and see if there is any tie to you.
If not, go to Settings > iCloud and Delete Account so there is not the tie there to you. Create an Apple ID and password and email address for your mother, then enter that account for her. Go to the Stores > Apple ID > Sign Out, back up and change the Apple ID to the new one you created for your mother, then move forward and Sign in...you will have to enter the new password.
Now you can test and see if she can successfully play her game.
If so, in Settings go down each app and see if any are tied to your ID and if so, change them.
That way you have not done a bulk erase of settings and content but should make the iPad hers.

Upgrading iPhone how do I ensure I don't lose app data?

I'm about to upgrade my iPhone. How do I ensure I don't lose app data (ie angry birds scores) when this happens? Is any potential solution affected by the fact that my wife has her iPhone synced to the same computer as me and we share iTunes acct

iPhone: Transferring information from your current iPhone to a new iPhone

How can I simply restore lost app data from iCloud, without resetting all content. Please someone!!!

I accidentally deleted a timesheet app from my iPhone, I reinstalled the app again but the data did not come back with it. Can someone help me with details how I can restore my lost data for just that app, from iCloud. iCloud is and was set up on my phone and was updated 3 days before this happened. People have suggested I "reset all content and setting" and it will come back. The sounds of deleting all content on my phone worries me. I have no other devices to back up on, so my only back up is in "iCloud"
Is there a simple way I can download and reinstall just the data for the app from iCloud?

Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

HT4623 Restore Single App Data?

Is it possible to restore a single app's data to an iphone from a previous backup?

App data is stored in only two places, on your device, & as part of your device's backup. To restore this data would require restoring from a backup that contained the data. However, the restore from backup process ia all or nothing. Further, an iCloud backup cannot be viewed or edited. It can only be restored to another iOS device.

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.

Will a System Restore Lose My CS6 Activation

I've lost both of my Raid0 arrays on start-up today, and Win7 start-up repair has not fixed it, so I am looking at a System Restore. I'll probably have to go back to before I installed CS6 full release, and I am wondering if I am going to remove CS6 with the Restore without decativating it. My Program files are all on my SSD boot drive and OK, and I have full backup for the two raid0 arrays.

Just to summarise this unhappy event, I have not confirmed, but it looks very like one of the pair of 300Gb Velociraptors that I used as my video Projects drive, has failed. After several very slow restarts, Windows 7 gave up trying to initialise the array on start-up, and the other raid0 which has a pair of 1Tb WD Blacks, became available and the system boots in the usual time now.
I got hold of another 2TB WD USB3 external today, and backed up the contents of the second raid0 array directly between the drives. ShadowProtect is restoring the failed raid0 array to the new drive as well. That will give me two backups of my main data drive. I'll also copy the video projects to another drive to give me three copies of that data (including the Shadow Protect image)
I now have 9Tb spread over 11 drives (if I include the failed Projects array drive which will have to be replaced). That has to multiply the chance of failure, and I am thinking Shadow protect is best $90 I ever spent. You don't even know it's there, and you can set the incremental save points as little as 15 minutes apart I think.
So a good outcome to what started as a very bad day. Thanks Noel and Pete for your input.

Reset Contacts/ Restore only app data

My situation is very complicated, and when I fully explained I got very few views and no answers.
Basically the file that holds my contacts is corrupted. I need one of the following solutions:
-Name and path of the contacts file on my iPhone
-Delete contacts file in backup (held on mac)
-Way to only backup app data (because I can restore everything else via iCloud sync)
The following tricks don't work:
-telling to delete all synced data
-replace iPhone with MobileMe contacts
-replace iPhone with Mac contacts
-deleting and re-importing all contacts
-app to delete all contacts or selected contacts
Sooner the better. Basically I need this fix because all interactions with these contacts don't show in apps. All interactions show as if they come from someone I don't know..
-texts show phone numbers instead of names
-missed calls show numbers instead of name
Real desperate. Please help

It looks like selecting Restore again forced iTunes to load the 3rd party apps onto my iPhone. Strange!

Do I lose app data with apple id change, but same ipad?

I understand that I cannot transfer purchases between Apple IDs, but that is NOT my question. My husband uses my first ipad, with which he has made app purchases using my Apple ID. He wants to be able to update through HIS Apple ID, and is willing to re-purchase the app under his ID, on the same ipad, but we need to know if the new download will "find" the original app data if it is not deleted from the ipad?

I don't know if this helps, but you can download apps on your iPad from two different ID's. My husband has apps from his ID and also from mine. You just have to change the ID and password in settings that you want to use each time. If he wants to repurchase through his own ID, then it will be like a brand new app, unless it has the ability to sync with another device.
Or if you upgrade to iOS 8 they have family sharing...but for now iOS 7 works better on older iPads!

After windows system restore, most ipod data not copying

I recently did a system restore on my computer using windows XP. When I tried to update my ipod, it said that 81 items were not transferred because my computer was not 'authorized' for them. All of the items were on my computer long before the system restore and were all purchased legally from the itunes store. So now most of my music, podcasts, and all of my tv shows won't sync to my ipod. I did a restore on the ipod, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what to do?

Is the new memory according to recommended specs?
there is no connection between battery and memory as far as i know. but while restoring OS to factory settings, it is advised that you keep original factory hardware (use old memory sticks etc.).

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.

System Restore to previous date

I would like to download a game on my macbook however i would like to set a restore date so that if it slows my computer, i can restore the computer to a previous date before the game was installed. Is there a way to do this on my macbook OS X (processor Intel Core 2 Duo)? Thanks!

Yes. Get a bootable, external HD and put a bootable backup/clone of your present HD onto to, boot into it, ensure that it works like the original. Use Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, Disk Utility, etc. to do the backup/clone.

Mavericks install failed on my late 2008 MBP. Says I should contact the software provider. Want to do a system restore, using Time Machine, but latest date to use is from last year - even tho did a backup before the download?

I downloaded the free Mavericks upgrade to my late 2008 MBP on Friday. I made sure to plug in my external hard drive so that Time Machine could back up beforehand. (I should say I'm not clear about the different kinds of backups that Time Machine does - I just plug it in and let it go.).
So have tried several times over the weekend to install, it takes 46 minutes each time - only to tell me it can't do it. There was an error message of needing to contact the software provider (or something similar). After searching the internet (on my husband's computer - since my MBP is rendered useless right now) I decided maybe I should wait on Mavericks and just do a system restore. However, when I plugged in the Hard Drive and proceed to System Restore, the latest date available is one from September of 2012 (14 months ago)... I've wondered if the date might be wrong? But I'm afraid to choose it because I'm not sure what I would lose. It might take me back to Snow Leopard rather than Lion... (however, the version on Restore was 10.8.1 which is Mtn Lion, right? Even tho it was last year...)
Some sources online say that I should go into applications and delete the install -- but I can't get to anything on my computer.
I tried to do a reboot in safe mode - but not sure if it worked...
I did look on the installer log error and the latest error is:
Local Host Report crash [378]
Can anyone help me? (Using simpleton, non-techie language?
Thanks

HT1414 will restore also restore app data?

Recently several of my apps got deleted. I'vr reinstalled most but some are missing their data. Will a device restore also restore my app data?

App data is saved int eh backup that iTunes makes at the beginning of every USB sync. If you restore from backup your app data will be retained/restored also provided that the app are alsi in your iTunes library.
I do not understand what Fiona Felicity said by: "Yes they will restore unless they are saved in itunes> apps."
Abb data is saved in the backup, not with the ap in the iTunes App library.

ICloud app data restore

Can someone help me find my iCloud backups so I can restore data from one of my apps to my iphone 4s? Is this even possible?

I checked that many app data are still in my iCloud backup, let's the "Path on" app, there is 18MB data.
This app no longer on my iPhone for quite a while, and subsequently backup haven't removed this entry.
If I really want to restore this app data, any way to do so?

How do I upgrade my iPod touch to IOS 5.0.1 without losing my app data?

I want to upgrade my iPod touch (4.3.3) to IOS 5.0.1, but I don't want to lose my app data (Tiny Tower, etc.)
I transferred all my purchases to the host computer. I also backed up my app data. Before I update the IOS software on my iPod touch, I'd like to find out if the app data on my iPod will be erased as part of the upgrade.
If so, will a restore from backup restore the app data?
