iCloud did not correctly sync a file between my iPhone 4s and my iPad. The save file for Infinity Blade II was last updated on the iPhone. When I tried to load the game on iPad, it reverted to an earlier version. How do I restore the right file?
Infinity blade handles file saves/reads via iCloud, I suspect the app has problems, not iCloud. Look at the links in the right panel in "More Like This", seems there are a lot of issues with infinity blade and it's file handling. Have you explored the forums at infinity to see if there is any discussion of these problems?
I have not checked with them yet. I wasn't sure what the issue could be, but I was wondering if there was any way to reset the file to a different version. I believe the correct file has a larger file size than what it is showing now. It's almost like there needs to be version control on all those files, just like a documents file has within Pages or Keynote. You can go back and look at all the versions of those files, why can't you do that will all files saved via iCloud?!
Aside from the sync services such as contacts, mail, etc, the only way other data in the form of files are saved to iCloud are 1) a backup of app data to iCloud (this assumes backups are turned on as well as the app, see Settings>iCloud>storage and backups), and 2) individual apps that save their own data files, not as backups per se, but for syncing purposes.
I'm assuming you have been discussing (2). you haven't mentioned doing a restore, and I wouldn't recommend that at this point. Version control if it were used would have to be the responsibility of the app. iCloud does not implement that on its own and I'm sure Apple wouldn't want to provide that feature as users would quickly run out of iCloud storage.
iCloud synced the wrong file for Infinity Blade II saved game, lost a lot of progress.
