iphone 4: gamesaves transfering over itunes?

[chickdigger802]

With iphone 4 coming out soon, I wanna see how many games I can transfer over data and stuff. So a few questions:

- I know plus+ network supports saves over cloud, but does openfient and Crystal and gameloft live do that as well?

- I know you can easily extract the saves from the iphone if it's JB (which mine currently isn't), but is there anyway to sync out your iphone game saves ON TO itunes, so that when I get a new phone and sync I get my old apps AND the saves?

Only if you restore from backup thru itunes.

Does that work between different devices?

Yes, even if its from a 2G iphone to a 3GS etc...
It works and restores from backup to all iphones available.

sweet! Another similar question:

Most of my music was on an external harddrive that died recently, but all the music is still on my iphone. Would 'backup' also back up all the music i had on my iphone 3g, or do I needa use some 3rd party thingy to extract all the music and stuff from my iphone?

Nope, the itunes iphone backup doesnt save/restore music.
You can use one of the many 3rd party apps to retrieve those mp3's from your iphone.

Aww. If you could recommend a good free one, that would be much appreciated xP

Also is there a way for itunes to recognize all the music files are in a different folder path without doing each song manually? (When a song is missing and has the (!)).

Thanks for all the help Applejuiced

There's many different options listed here along with comparisons etc..

Not much you can do about music in many different folders but to stick them inside one.
