After syncing with my new MacBook, I lost my saved data from Angry Birds Seasons. I guess you can copy the highscores.lua from the Angry Birds directory. Can someone who knows how to do this share there file with me? Someone who has made it through the whole game? I beat it, and now I'm kicking myself for losing it. Thanks
 
If you have a backup on your old computer then Google 'iphone backup extractor'. It is free and will extract the data from your old backup. If your phone is jail broken you can then put the backup file on your phone. Hope this helps.

Thanks, this worked great. I got the files, but the game now crashes, hopefully I can get it to work. If not, no big deal, I guess I get to enjoy the game all over again:D.

check permissions on the file you replaced.

If you have iFile installed, browse to the highscores files and make sure the ownership is set to "mobile". This might fix your crashing problem.
 
Thanks for the replies, I found this ay ModMyI:


Ok sods law after asking for help , i manage to do it , files used settings.lua and hiscores.lua

I reinstalled angry birds and ran it to main menu ( which created the new settings.lua ) then closed game copied my backed up settings.lua over new one , ran game again and noticed all games id played where now accessable , played 1st level and completed ( which creates new highscores.lua ) returned to main menu , and quit game , copied my backed up highscores.lua over new one , rerun game and all games id done where complete , and evrything else works ( complete game screen works , hidden eggs works ) , hope this info helps someone

Cheers.

was a bit bugy with completing missions ( still wouldnt load complete screen ) so tried again but as last step ftp into phone and changed permissions to 777 so far its working 100%

I havent done anything with permissions yet, but it seems to work so far. Any way to use SSH to check/change permissions? I don't have iFile, and if I remember correctly, it's a paid app.
 
I installed it awhile back so things may have changed but I believe you can use it with a nag screen without paying.

OK, thanks. The game seems to be all set without having to change permissions. I played several levels with no issues, then the new update came out tonight and I updated and played some new levels without issues.

Thanks everyone for the help. I'm happy to have all my 1 and 2 star high scores back:D.

Genius! You are a life saver! I followed pk24's instructions to the tee and they worked like a champ. I was having the same crashing when trying to advance a level (after restore from backup). I was pulling my hair out today.

Many thanks!
