Restoring Scores Page 1
-
My wife's iPod crashed and iTunes had me restore its operating system. This put it back to the factory settings. Now I'll need to install everything back on it from iTunes. I have all her scores saved in a spreadsheet. Is there any way to fiddle with Game Center and manually put her scores back in? She's only played the first 4 chapters of regular Angry Birds so she won't lose a lot to start over. Thanks.

Here iPod is currently syncing from iTunes. I notice when I turn on my iPhone, I can see her score still because we're friends through Game Center. So perhaps her scores are saved on a Game Center site and not her iPod??? That would be sweet.

Unless you have the highscores.lua file I don't think you can restore the progress.
Gamecentre does not store any save files, all it does is updates scores, etc, from the game. An example is Cut the Rope - I completed it with 3 stars on all levels, (yay!) and wanted to play it again, so I reset the data for it. My gamcentre achievements stayed and my score on the leaderboard didn't change. It just records the data from the game, such as scores and achievements, but never loses any. I'm sorry, but I think your wife will have to start Angry Birds again. Still, Angry Birds never seems to get old! -
GameCenter does not store data files or high scores. It merely transmits data to a server. Unless you have the .lua files backed up, or a sufficient iTunes restore, you seem to be Out of luck.

This is what I'm finding. Game Center still shows her total Angry Birds score of 5 million, but inside Angry Birds, it shows all zeros and as though she's playing it for the first time.
Is there any way to unlock everything so she can begin playing Chapter 5 of Mighty Hoax without having to play through everything before it? No interest in buying the Mighty Eagle which I think allows skipping ahead. -
I figured out via an internet search how to unlock the other worlds/chapters. But she's going to give up on regular Angry Birds since her scores are no longer in her iPod (I have them in my spreadsheet) and start doing Seasons.

That's a shame, I've played Angry Birds several times over, on my iPhone, computer, and even a little on dads HTC Desire HD :P It never gets old for me. Oh well...

Were you backing up the ipod on itunes? it's possible to restore the data file from that backup. I think itunes only keeps one backup that covers the entire ipod though and you could easily overwrite the backup if you resync the ipod. Right click the ipod and there should be a Restore from backup menu option--The dialog that pops up should tell you when the backup was made so you can tell if it was from before the crash or not.
Lately Apple added a method where you can restore all the previously bought apps to an ipod by redownloading them from the cloud, but this does not preserve your data files, the apps will restart at a default state. -
To backup what @CougRon said, we have an article that walkthroughs you through restoring a backup from iTunes:

CougRon, Thanks. The last time I connected her iPod into iTunes (most recent backup) was when I first loaded Angry Birds on it, thus nothing backed up. It has made me realize with my iPhone, I'm going to get in the habit of weekly connecting it to iTunes and letting it create a backup.
