Deleted Angry Birds - Help!

    I suspect my 2 yr old deleted Angry Birds from my iPhone 4 over the weekend and now I'm panicking that all my game data is lost...

    If I resync with iTunes will it also delete my backed-up game data?

    I'm wondering if I installed it again on the phone, and synced, would it restore the data from the backed-up iTunes version?

    If I can't get may game data back I might as well delete it as I'm not going through THAT again!

    you're out of luck :)
    Happened to me as well and I'd to start at the beginning again :(

    Ouch, that hurts.

    Just resynching and adding the application again probably wouldn't add the game data back. If you restore from backup, I think it should restore your game saves ... I think. But if it's not a recent backup, you'll probably lose a lot of recent messages, contacts changes, etc.


    Hope that helps.

    Doesnt Game Centre hold all this data?

    Google searching seems to think that too... am giving it a shot now. I backed up on Friday and got any photos off the phone from the weekend manually. Fingers crossed :pac:

    I've only played Battleships in GC so I doubt it has my Angry Birds data?

    Pretty sure all of my GC games have been added automatically to it...at least I have no recollection of adding anything to it and Angry Birds is definitely in it...anyway I hope it works out for you-same thing happened to me a while back (before GC) and I had to start all over again.

    Restored from backup - wtf - Angry Birds still not on the phone. :pac:

    So either that just didn't work at all, or maybe the app was deleted on prior to my last backup on Friday (which I doubt).

    Balls.

    Actually... just now reinstalled it via iTunes and synced... it seems to be rememebering my scores. :)

    Not sure why or how - but I ain't complaining!

    Very impressed that your 2 year old is an accomplished iPhone user!

    She was no doubt seeking out either the photos or the Spongebob Squarepants app. :p
