The Captivate does not have that option. You should just be able to run a batch and do apps/data that way. It has always worked for me. Just make sure usb debugging is on, and if you need to click the problems button and it will update your busybox which sometimes has has caused issues with Titanium backup.

You need to allow sideloading in order to allow titanium to restore apps. The only way to do this is change the sql info. Take a look at the wiki on sideloading on how to do it. Its pretty simple.

Titanium usage question......
I would like some info on the "create update.zip" option. Save as system or user app? And why? and then, name it update.zip and install thru regular recovery mode, or make it as Titanium.zip and restore it thru clockwork?

Nvm. It just installs titanium, not batched withall your backups restored.

I just had the same problem a minute ago. Try unchecking the box, exit Tools, go back in and check the box again. That's what fixed it for me.

[Q] Titanium Back Up question

I just installed Cog 3.4 and after the install i restored missing apps and data but 90% of my apps did not restore. They show up in tibu gray with a line drawn through them. If i click on one and try to restore it i get a pop up that says "what would you like to restore" any help would be great.

Click problem button on bottom. Make sure busybox is installed. Make sure usb debugging enabled
Reboot

Ok i just did that and it is still not working, Guess i will just have to download them all again from the market.

Could re download tibu

Did you try "restore user apps" instead of "missing apps?"
Also, make sure you have downloaded TiBu and TiBu pro from the market so you can do batch backups.

Yes i did try that option and same thing happens it goes through the process and says batch complete, but they are not installed.
Tibu is preloaded in Cog so i will have to remove it and try downloading from the market again. I will let you know if it works.

Ok just reinstalled Tibu and still no go. Everything seems to be working just fine other than Tibu. I give up.... off to the market to download all of my missing apps. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Q] Restoring Apps Using Titanium Backup

After dealing with frustration after frustration with apps and HC, I decided to switch over to CM7. I backed everything up with Titanium Backup Pro then did a nandroid, then installed CM7 release 29. Everything went great with the install but I can not restore any of my backed up apps.
When I go to my backup/restore list, then select an app to restore, I get the dialog for app only or app + data. If I hit app only, it comes back and says that "App restore complete" but when I look at my drawer, the app is not there and in TB Pro, it still has the line through the listed app. If I hit restore app + data, I get the message App + Data restore failed. I've tried downloading the apps from the Market, then trying to just restore the data but that doesn't work either. I get the message that says it's complete but when I load the app the first time, no settings have been changed.
I also tried going into root explorer, changing the /system/app directory to R/W but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've updated su and busybox from within TB and using the stand alone apps. I've tried unmounting and remounting the sd card. I've tried rebooting. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
I have the nandroid so I can go back to HC and try an alternate backup method but I'd love to get this just to work.
The version of Titanium Backup that I am using is 3.7.4.1.
Thanks.

There are three options in the Problems? menu.
Check Wiki
Update Busybox
Update Superuser
I looked at the wiki and it didn't provide an answer to this problem. I updated Busybox again and Superuser was already updated.

I have TB set to keep 3 backups. I went and did another backup then verified all backup files. Over 100 files, including some that I just backed up under CM7, came up corrupt.
Any ideas why the majority of files backed up are corrupt? Clearly depending on TB to backup apps on the Nook was a bad idea.

I'm having this problem as well. TB has never worked on any of my roms. I usually try to do a lot of searching before I post, I'm usually not the first to have problems. But I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.

I think you have to go into settings and into application settings then tick the box to allow unknown sources.

[Q] "Installation of download apks is not supported"

That's the message I get when trying to install app fm the amazon store.
Change download directory perhaps? I can't find the setting for that . . ..
TIA

Did you check your settings for the one that allows non-Marketplace apps to install?

Yes, you have to enable non-marketplace apps in the settings or else it wont allow any apps other than those downloaded directly from the android app store. Its under Settings - Applications - Unknown sources.

Trying unchecking it and then checking it again. That worked for me when i was on auto-nootered stock.

I was able to get past this message by checking and unchecking Allow Non-Market Apps and rebooting, but I also created a system/app directory on the sd card and put my apks in there, this may or may not be necessary as I am still experimenting. I also made sure USB Debugging, Allow Mock Locations and Auto Mount were checked under the Development panel in NookColor Tools.

Where exactly do you find Settings - Applications - Unknown sources on an autonooted 3.0 Nook Color? If I go into Settings from the stock launcher, there is no tab for Applications. If I go into NookColor Tools I see two panels for Settings - one is for GSM which is all greyed out and one just reproduces the stock settings page. There is also a Manage Applications panel, which just shows installed applications.

update; no love
Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing's worked.
I have checked "Allow Non-Market Apps" under NookColor Tools (it was always checked). Interestingly, I am basically not able to uncheck this setting. I can uncheck it, but when I navigate away (or reboot) and then return to NookColor Tools, the box is checked (even though I unchecked it before).
I also made an /sdcard/system/app directory and confirmed that "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations" are checked under settings>development.
No luck. When I try to install apps from the amazon store etc., I get the same error message: "Install blocked. Installation of download apks is not supported."
Thanks.

Try unchecking... then checking it again... without navigating away... then reboot (not really necessary)... and try it again.

Could it be that because it's a NC and the Apk is from Amazon?
If i were them, I'd make sure that my major comp didn't get the same love everyone else might get. i could be waaaaay off base tho.

I unchecked, and then immediately rechecked, without exiting NookColor Tools. I then rebooted, since the first time I did this without rebooting, I was still unable to install anything. I also found that I didn't need the dummy system folder on my sd card.

Here's my question to you. Do you have another Android device? If so try instaling it on that, if it doesn't work then you know it's the Apk file. And if it does then it might just be a compatible issue between Amazon and B&N.
Until you try everything, rule nothing out.

Swordsaint, I was expanding on my previous post for LanceNem's benefit.
