linking app from iphone to ipad

Download the game to the iPad, backup the phone and then restore the iPad from the phone backup. Just beware that your iPad will now be a clone of your phone in terms of data, files, camera roll photos and everything that was in the iPhone backup will now be on the iPad.

If you have some different content or app data on the iPad that you do not want to lose, don't restore the iPad from the phone backup or you will overwrite that data on the iPad.

It should not have worked that way. When you restored the iPad from the iPhone backup, that should have transferred the game saves to the iPad. It appears that it wiped the game progress for some reason.

Are you sure that you restored the iPad from the phone backup? You can launch iTunes and go to Edit >Preferences>Devices and see all of your backups in that window. Look and see what the date of the iPhone backup was.

OK. Was that the very last time that you backed up the phone and was the game progress up to date at that time on that backup?

Do not sync your phone again.

Well if the progress wasn't up to date on the phone backup, it will not be up to date on the iPad either. But if you have been playing the game all this time and you backed up the phone, then the phone backup should have your most current game saved data in it. Therefore, when you restored the iPad from the phone backup, that should be up to date as well.

So I'm not sure what happened. I have restored from backups a few times and my game saves have always restored.

When was the last time that you played the game?

Yeah... I have a bad feeling too. Especially if all of the other game progress transfered over. That's how it is supposed to work.

Try this on both devices even though I don't think it will work - it isn't going to hurt anything. Close Game Center completely and quit all Game Center apps in the recents tray, them reboot both devices.

Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.

Reboot the devices by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Then launch Game Center and see where the progress level is in the game

I am not that familiar with the ins and outs of Game Center, but you do have to sign in to see your acheviements isn that correct? If so, sign out of Game Center on the phone and then sign in again. Maybe refreshing your account will help.

I just don't understand why everything transferred in your other games but not in ths one.

I feel bad that this don't work out because it should have worked fine. I'm sorry.

If throwing a tantrum makes you feel better, have it it. Just don't break anything .... Or hurt anyone! 😉

Hi Demo, how do I back up my ipad games before I update my ios version? I already backed up the device in icloud but Im afraid ny current clash of clan level will not load just like what happened to npihcuk. I have two apple devices with the same clash of clan app with different levels. How do I make sure that the current level of my clash of clans game in my ipad will be saved and not the other one that is in my phone? Thanks much.

I've got the exact same problem, just bought an iPad mini hoping to play games from where i left off on my iPhone. Unfortunately the sam app Clash of Clans hasn't worked and it keeps taking me back to the start. I've even tried using iExplorer to copy the data and this still hasn't worked. It's just so frustrating as a lot of the game you have to wait hours or days to make things better, this will take a lot of time to get back to where i am on my iPhone but by the looks of things it's my only option!
