The Basics
Many people assume that learning how to transfer game saves from an iPhone to an iPad will be a complicated process. This is only half true, the actual process has been made easy by some very handy apps, however, it does still require a jailbroken iPhone and iPad.
At this time there is no way to do this without a jailbroken iPhone and iPad. Transferring game saves between iPhones is easy enough, likewise between iPads because the iTunes backup from one can be used to restore on the other, however, Apple has released no other way to swap game shares between iDevices if they are not the same device. This might not seem like such a big deal but with the growing number of iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and now Apple TV), it is slowly becoming one.
On a jailbroken iPhone and iPad, all you need to do is download two free programs and with a few taps you will be on your way to swapping saved games. The best part is the applications are free and you won"t need a PC to do it, thank Bluetooth.
Download Necessary Resources
In order for this to work, you will need to download two applications from Cydia. These applications are both free and can be found in the default repos, therefore a simple search for them will have you on the way to downloading. Perform the following steps on your iPad and your iPhone too. (Find Out How To Use Cydia Here).
Launch Cydia. Launch Cydia by tapping the brown Cydia icon found on your iPhone"s homescreen. Cydia may take a second to launch.
Goto Search. Tap the search tab in the bottom right corner of Cydia. This should take you to the search screen.
Download AppBackup. Search for AppBackup and then tap on it to open the info pane. Click Install in the upper right corner and then press confirm in the upper left corner.
Download iFile. Repeat the same process used in steps two and three. This time search for iFile instead of AppBackup.
Prepare the iPhone. Repeat this same process on the iPhone, installing both applications.
Swapping Data
Once you have all of the resources installed, we can begin swapping data on the iPhone. Follow these instructions on your iPhone.
Launch AppBackup. Launch AppBackup by tapping the new AppBackup icon on the home screen of your iPhone.
