How do I transfer app data from my old iPad to my new iPad?
I am assuming this process will work out to be the same as the current situation with iPhones:
- Backup your iPad using iTunes.
- Plug new iPad into same computer.
- Restore new iPad from old iPad backup.
When this is done with an iPhone, the new iPhone will be configured exactly as the old one - save games, email apps, photos, everything is transfered.
What happens is actually that the backup contains all app data + configuration. The rest is basically a list of stuff that should be synced from your computer to the device (e.g. music, photos, apps).
I had this exact same problem and can answer specifically for Battleheart. I had started playing on iPhone but want to keep playing on my iPad. The developer was kind enough to respond to me and tell me how.
There is a file on your device var/mobile/applications/<Battleheart Folder>/library/preferences - it isn't encrypted and you can just copy it to the same location on your other device.
You don't have to jailbreak. You can use iExplorer app to access your iPad/iPhone filesystem on your Mac.
Obviously you've got some great answers and have accepted one already but this may be helpful if iPhone-iPad is what you want - I don't believe you can restore a backup made for iPhone to an iPad, or vice versa..
