HI, I just bought my son a iPad mini 2 for his birthday. I was going to set it up with his iTunes and iCloud account that he uses on his iPod touch for him before I give it to him Saturday. I thought it would sync all his games and apps from his iPod but it has not. Is it possible to do this and save his game progress or will he have to start his games all over?
iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8.4
Syncing games between iPad and iPod touch is absolutely possible, as long as you use the same computer and the same Apple ID, which you are doing.
If the iPod is any other model than iPod touch, it uses a different operating system and the games are not compatible. All other info, including music, should transfer/sync fromi Tunes to the new iPod.
Ok, so I need to do it in itunes on the computer. I will try that tonight when I can sneak it in the computer room without him knowing.
Thanks
So syncing the games from iTunes on the computer onto the iPad didn't work. It didn't keep any saves or progress. I tried to copy the save files from the iPod using iexplorer but i found out since iOS 8.4 that is no longer possible using iexplore. I just don't understand how everything on Apple devices is so simplified except syncing your games from one device to another using the same Apple ID. It seems like everything else transferred via iCloud just fine except his apps and games.
Does anybody else have any ideas?
Sync with iPod
