[Q] Titanium Back Up question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

help please
also, if i can hit the batch button, it shows no apps detected.

Is there an app that restores missing market links ?

see title ^^
Apps restored from backup, but backup were corrupted.. could save app+data but no market link so no update notifications, doesnt wanna "over install" 40apps from market (search name, install though already installed)
aTrackDog e.g. shows all apps and if i click them , opens them in market.. but i didnt found a way that it just adds the market link to the allready installed application^^

Look up Titanium Backup.
Open the app, press Menu and select Market Doctor.
This would only restore market links from apps i've backed up with titanium backup with market links. But they come from nandroid and went missing :-/
Titanuim backup not restoring. Links for me. Donate version.

try installing a new app (you can unistall it later)
normally it will recover then.
hey, i wanted to find an answer to this as well. i don't think there's a way to do it if you didn't back up the links.
before flashing a new ROM, i pulled all the .apk's from my phone so that i could install them via "adb install" later. they installed fine, but didn't show up in market.
i think there's a database that holds links between the market and apps you install via the market. titanium backup will back up those links, and restore them later. it doesn't "create" missing links by scanning the apps you have installed and then linking them to the market. it only restores links that it backed up.
installing a new app to "refresh" the market links only works if you've restored previously backed-up links.
if someone can prove me wrong that would be great, cuz i hate installing from the market.. so damn slow cuz it tries to do a bunch of stuff all at once. plus it's easier to script the adb installs.
From settings go to Applications, Manage, click All select market and delete the data. Reboot phone and it should rebuild its databases

There is one on the market for free, eris market fixer or similar.
Worked for me

Titanium backup error.

I use titanium backup pro for my apps.
I did a full backup all apps + data
I realized that now I see no apps in the market.
If I go to market->my apps. It says no apps downloaded from the market.
Now I can't get any updates or anything. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I now realized that everytime I do a backup on titanium backup I lose all my app's market link....
Is there a fix for this?

I use Titanium Backup before and after ROM flashes, or lots of app updates, and I haven't seen this issue on my Samsung Captivate. I have v3.6.7.1 of Titanium Backup running on a Pheonix ROM. Just to confirm, I re-ran the batch "backup all user apps + system data" and after it completed, checked the market "My apps" area. Everything shows as expected in the "My apps" area on my phone.
Well i have the 3.6.0 paid version sideloaded.. Im running darky..

Tibu + market link problem.

I flashed darky 9.2 yesterday.
I realized that my apps wont show up in market -> my apps
I tried clearing data. It still didn't work.
Is this a rom problem? Or is there a solution?

three most important things to do before you flash
backup, backup, backup
install appbrain
start appbrain
sync with appbrain
after sync you should see what you had installed
pick what you want to reinstall
backup, backup, backup
i have seen this using cog and ultimate rom.
TIBU is good for backing up, but then they dont show up to update in market. So i also would love a fix !
I just clear data like 5 times in a row.
(clear data->open market->clear data)
And in between each time I rebooted and now its some how back!!! Lol

[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.
