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?

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.

How do i get my data back if i restored my ipod touch

how do i get my data back if i restored my ipod touch

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
Redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and then restore from the same backup again.

Unless you uploaded data to Dropbox or some other cloud based storage app or you created a back up, there is no way to retrieve the data. Sorry!

IOS 5 Game Data erased

I have recently updated my Ipad2 with IOS 5. All my apps are fine, but all my game data has gone. However, if I open up Game Center, it still has all the information there. Any ideas how I can transfer this data, so that it is back in my apps? Thanks

If i update 5.1.1 software on my phone, will my data erase?

PLEASE HELP!!!

Sounds like your only able to use Wifi on your device currently which indicates you have lost network connection with your cellular provider ....you can call them to troubleshoot this but one common issue in some countries is that if you are on a 3G only network this can become turned off after a software update...go to settings > cellular/mobile > and see if enable 3G or enable 4G/LTE is off or on try turning it on and then power off phone and on again and this will probably fix it, so you can make calls etc and use the internet away from the computer. As for the update always do an itunes backup first and they make sure you have long enough for this update to run through on wifi and then try it again. Good Luck

That is not supported by Apple. If you are getting a network timeout error, disabling the computer's security software usuallys resolves that error.

Will I lose anything if I restore my ipod touch

Does anyone know if there was a problem with itunes update, now my ipod is in recovery mode and they said that I need to restore it.

Download TinyUmbrella or RecBoot and see if you can kick it out of recovery mode.

Would I be able to access all of my photos and app/game data after I erase all content and settings from my iPod through iCloud?

My iPod Touch 5th Gen. isn't syncing to my computer and I've alread backed it up to iCloud plenty of times. So my question is if I erase EVERYTHING back to factory settings and set it back up as a new iPod can i reaccess all of my photos and app/game data?

If you restore from iCloud backup all your photos in your Camera Roll album and all your iTunes purchases that were on the iPod will be restored. Photos that were synced to the iPod and non-iTunes purchases like music ripped from CDs will not be restored.

I lost my iphone4 and replaced it with a 4s. It's been a year since my last sync. Do I set up my phone as "new" or "restore from backup?" Im hoping game center will automatically have a current record of game data...please help or advise.thx

Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed in an Apple forum. If you synced your phone with your computer the texts will be in the backup, so if you restore the backup you may get them back, but with a jailbroken phone it's anybody's guess what will happen.

Will erasing and syncing erase game data?

I have had an Ipod touch for some time now, and as I was syncing it up, as I do once in a while, it asks me to erase and sync to this library. I have recently synced the Ipod to my laptops ITunes, and it works fine. But i'm just wondering, will erasing and syncing my Ipod erase my game data? I frequently play on Plants vs Zombies (I'm only 13 C: ) and I don't want to lose all my save data.
Cheers

A complete erase and re-install is a very Windows thing to do. I have never had to do so in six years.
Instead consider an Archive and Install, which preserves all your own files and settings:

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.

Is it possible to save game data (e.g game scores) on your PC before you erase all data on iPod Touch

I am about to erase data on my iPod but I've got some good scores on games like a mean 29,825,006 on Temple Run and will I be able to save this data over to my PC?

- Make sure that you make a backup. The first step of a sync is a backup. The backup contains app data like saved games. To check, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look for the backup and its date.
- Just restore the iPod from that backup and you save games will be restore too provided that the apps are in the iTunes library since the backup does not contain apps and some other stuff.

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.
