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.

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.

Hi there, Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/

Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks Rachel

Connect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account. If you don't need to backup you can delete it. (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup. Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

If you restore the iPad to your last backup then you will lose any content you've added or changes that you've made since you took that backup i.e. it will put back to how it was at the time of that backup

I have an Ipod touch 4 32G, asking to update from 4.2 to IOS6. Will I lose games progess once updated? What else is lost in the upgrade process?

I have an Ipod touch 4 32G, asking to update from 4.2 to IOS6. Will I lose games progess once updated? What else is lost in the upgrade process? Can losing progess be avoided? I already backed up in I tunes. HELP

Not if all your synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes libary. The backup does not included synced media. See:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 and later

When I connected to iTunes, my phone said it was in "restore" mode, but I don't know why. Iam afraid that if I continue with the restore, I will lose my recent pics. How can I check iCloud to see if my pics are there? Will I lose my pics if I restore?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimize Loss... Once you have Recovered your Device... Restore from the most recent Backup...

I need to restore my iphone 4. Will I lose my pictures if I restore from backup?

Possible if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data with no way to know this in advance.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Syncing iPod to new computer - will I lose app progress?

I moved all my iTunes media from my iMac to my Macbook using an external hard drive. If I sync my iPod touch to my Macbook, putting all the transferred files on my iPod, will I lose progress I've made in apps such as Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies scores?

Yes unless you restore your iPod from the backup of your iPod. Move the backup file from your old computer to you new on and then restore from backup. You can find the location of the backup file here in the About Syncing and Backups topic.

HT4718 Will I lose my data if I restore OS X mountain lion?

my iMac will not start and various post suggest restoring OS X mountain lion. What will happen to my date?

There is a way to back up your system via the OS X Utilities from the Recovery HD.
Boot into the Recovery HD using either Recovery Mode or Internet Recovery.
At the OS X Utilities Menu, select Disk Utility.
Plug in a USB external drive. Make sure you have a partition larger than your Macintosh HD and the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID partition table.
Select your Macintosh HD then click the Restore tab.
Select your Macintosh HD as the Source and the USB external drive as the Destination. Click the Restore button. This will block copy your Macintosh HD over to the USB drive. It's basically a clone.
Once the above steps are done you can format your Macintosh HD and Reinstall OS X.

If I restore my iPad will I lose my data plan?

I am planning to back up my iPad and restore it to lend to a friend for a week. I'm gonna buy a data plan for him, but when I restore from the backup will I lose my data plan

If you restore your iPad, everything will be deleted but your data plan won't be modified. You will keep it because it has nothing to do with the iPad

Will I lose plants vz zombies from my ihone after upgrade to ios 6?

I have ios 3 on my iphone 3gs and I want to upgrade to ios 6.
Will I lose the progress of plants vs zombies game?
Please help me if you know the answer.
Thanks.

No bother at all.
Try restoring the phone from the backup created just prior to upgrading to iOS 6, but if the messages are not restored, I know of no way to restore them.
Be sure to periodically back up your iPhone using iTunes, and make sure that computer has a backup as well.

How to transfer game progress to an new device?

I will soon be upgrading from a 3rd-gen iPod touch to an iPhone 5. I want to transfer all my apps from my iPod to my iPhone, and since most of my productivity apps are cloud-based, I'm not worried about losing data from them. I have several games, however, that don't sync with iCloud, like Angry Birds, and I'm wondering if restoring my iPhone from a backup of my iPod will carry over games progress.
So I basically have two questions:
A. Can I restore my iPhone from my iPod backup in iTunes?
B. Will this transfer game saves that are not in iCloud?
Hopefully someone's been in this situation before. Thanks in advance!

unfortunatly if your apple id is different there is no way you can trandfer the progress. If you want to change the icloud account on the new device to match the old device then it will transfer progress and after change it back to what you have- it worked for me.
