What steps can I take to avoid losing my fill-up data when upgrading to a newer version of AccuFuel?
- Back up your iPhone or iPod touch by performing a full sync with iTunes before installing any application updates.
- Disconnect your iPhone or iPod touch and install the update using the App Store on the device.
- Run the updated software on your device. If you did not lose any data, then you are finished. If you did lose your data, you can restore it from the backup you made in step 1. If you just reconnect and sync though, you'll lose your backup data too because iTunes will overwrite it with the current data (which was lost). So, to prevent that, you need to do the following:
- Disable automatic syncing in iTunes for your iPhone or iPod touch before re-connecting your device. You can do this by going into iTunes Preference -> Synching and check "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods."
- Connect your iPhone or iPod touch and wait until it appears in iTunes.
- Right-click (or hold down control and click) on the iPhone or iPod touch and select "Restore from Backup..." This will start a restore which will return your device to the state it was in before installing the updated application.
-NOTE: With AccuFuel 1.1.1 or newer, you can also take an active step in preventing data loss by exporting fill-ups to an email. Please read the "Can I export my fill-up data?" for instructions on how to do this. We are working on the next update to AccuFuel which will allow you to re-import this exported data.
