Today, all my backups in Titanium Backup Pro vanished, but when I scan for them on my external SD, the app says there are 322 backups found and it locates the data, but it won't show up in my apps list.
Never seen this before, and I'm not sure how to resolve it. Not sure what caused, it but I'm hoping some of you might have an idea.
have you tried repointing Titanium Backup to the directory that your apps are backed up to?

would also try this first. If it not helps, try reinstall Titanium Backup (not only the pro key)
Do you have any app filters on by chance? (other than that, if you're restoring files, you can probably do a batch restore then just choose the apps)

You cant restore the CM7 system apps to devoid final. You can restore the apps/games that you downloaded to the devoid final though titanium backup. Just dont restore apps like google maps/talk/ etc which comes preinstalled.
PS: hows the devoid final rom ?
That's right, Use Titanium Backup. I haven't flashed void.final yet because of all the hassle of restoring apps and data.
Firs things first... use Titanium Backup or something similar along with you nand backups. This should make restoring apps easy. Run the backup batch and then the restore batch on the new rom. I do not recommend restoring system data, it may cause faults in the system, especially when going from 2.2 to 2.3 and back.
So, man, restore the nand backup of your CM7, use Titanium Backup batch, re-flash your void.final and then restore the Titanium Backups. That should do it. This procedure is a must if you want to test custom roms, or just flash often.
Cheers!

Mate, better get used to Titanium Backup, it's a life saver if you like modding.
Word of advice: update your backups, and (this is an important one) backup (copy on HDD) your Titanium backups (you can find them on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)!

Yeah. Getting Pro with better scheduling (plus Dropbox sync) is worth it, IMHO. Also, the backups are much faster with Pro.

Ah, you mean SMS/MMS... Well, dunno about Titanium. I am backing them up via GO SMS Pro; never liked the stock messaging app really. It can do scheduled backups (binary/XML, full/incremental) and even send the backups to your email.
i will try SMS Backup and Restore from market. if it does not work, i'll try yours! thanks for ur time man and all of u there who shared his time answering my questions!
trying to transfer my apps from my captivate over to my atrix
(app+app data)
I copied over my TitaniumBackup folder from my PC to my atrix
but my titanium backup can't seem to "see" the folder or the old apps.....is there a fix or am I doing something wrong?
thanks
bump my thread
Maybe you should check the direction of the folder where you have backupped your Apps.

Check to make sure that your Titanium Backup folder is in the same location that you had with your Captivate. This was a problem for me in the past.

^yup
same location

just to make sure, I tried backuping fruitninja THD that I installed on my atrix
it went into the titaniumbackup folder that I put on the internal sd/storage but it doesn't detect my other app backups

Hmm, you could try creating a new backup folder in TB and then moving the old backups over.

fiddled around with preferences.....now it seems to work now
thanks all
I'm glad you figured it out...i had problems when i loaded a new rom...i went into settings, preferences, down to trouble shooting and set App processing to "Auto, Indirect"
Also another setting that has helped some in the same situation is in preferences as well... scroll down to "Migrate system data" this helps compatibility issues with ROM's.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
cheers
I see you fixed it but I believe you needed to choose refresh app list from menu. Just in case anyone else has this problem maybe it will help them.

I believe i did do that each time but nothing happened
but then I went into preferences then selected the folder for the "where to store" part of TiBu
nonetheless, glad I got it working and if anyone stumbles onto this problem, hopefully they'll see this thread
Is it safe to use Titanium backup for keeping apps when transferring to another ROM? I searched but only came up with results saying it is okay with other phones. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

as with other phones, yes. it all works the same.
there are a couple of caveats though.
never restore system apps/data
never restore ALL apps+data, utilize the MISSING apps+data batch job.

So i backed up all my apps to my internal SD card. i flashed a new rom, installed TB, and now it wont see my backups. I verified that its looking in the correct folder, that the files still exist, and that there are .apk.gz files in the backup folder. Still though, it wont show any apps when I try to restore all missing apps.
If i install the apks for each app though, it has no problem restoring the data for the apps. What gives?
This has happened on Touch Wiz, CM9, and AOKP.
Any help is appreciated.

I have the exact same issue! I have tried everything and no luck. I created a similar thread and no one has any ideas why this is happening. Please let us know if you find the answer. I pretty much redownloaded all of my apps to just get it over with.
Good luck
Probably a stupid question, but after you changed the path and tripple check that it's the correct path where all your backups are, did you restarted TB/phone?
If you simply hit back button it doesn't actually quit TB.
I am having the same problem. I am noticing that tubular just isn't doing the restores correct at all. For instance I did a restore of Shadowgun and my saves weren't restored. I have never had these issues before I came to the S3

I had the same problem with Titanium Backup at first. My backups were on my external SD card straight outta my DroidX. I assumed /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup would be the right location, but on the SGS3 you have to go to /mnt/extSDcard/TitaniumBackup or manually copy the folder over first. Once I fixed that path, it started restoring just fine.
If you go to the filter, and select Backed Up instead of All, do they show up then?
I had a similar issue. Try removing titanium backup from the Super user app, then run titanium backup again.

I have a similar problem with Ti backup too.
It sees zero apps.
uninstalled
reinstalled
removed from superuser
updated SU binaries
folder location is in appropriate place
even cleared cache/dalvik and fix permissions in recovery when it was uninstalled.
I redirected the the save location to my external SD card and it worked for me. It may only be seeing your internal sd card
I just flashed Omega rom and everything is working fine. However, when I downloaded and installed titanium pro to restore all my apps which I had backed up, there's nothing showing up in the form of "apps" that can be restored.
Basically there's nothing to restore..as there are zero apps in the restore section of titanium showing up.
I've looked at my files and the titanium backup file is there on my external sd card with 1GB of data.
I've "unknown apps" and usb debugged checked so other than that, I don't know what else I can do to figure it out.
How come I can't get all my stuff restored?
check your filters.
then check to make sure titanium is looking at the right folder.

What do I have to look for in the filters? Where can I see where titanium is checking for the restore from?
on the top of the list, there's a choice to set filters.
use the menu settings to check where titanium is looking for the restore file......

I know where the filters are, but what am I looking for in them?
Also, in menu settings what do I click in order to see where its looking for restore file?
in the filters, you make sure it is filtered to show everything... what else?
this isn't really rocket science... but settings --> Preferences --> backup folder location.
kinda logical....
Ah thanks, I was looking for "restore" folder location!
I've the paid version of titanium, but I still had to click install for each app when restoring them. I thought this could be done in a batch process?
