Titanium has nothing to restore?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Titanium Backup restore problems...

I was trying to do a restore with Titanium Backup to restore apps and data and everything in the batch list is greyed out with a line through it.. what gives?? So, I am unable to restore any apps. I am using the pro version, so I don't see what I paid for.
Can someone enlighten me on this. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to download something else?
thanks.
I believe you have to install the app first, idk but i did that with skype and got my data back

Greyed out with a line through them items are the apps that are not currently installed.
If you click on them, it should give you an option to restore, providing that you have backed them up before, of course.
Also, in batch mode, you can restore them all -or chosen ones- at once.
Did you expect to just open the app and your phone go back to the way it was before?
i have the same problem
it restored just few of them automatically
i believe i have to manually install the rest and then restore just the data
but isn't that stupid?
Has anyone found a way around that?
the developer said something about fixing the market link with market doctor option, but that's in the paid version
I spoke to the dev about it actually and he said there seems to be an error with my TBU, so I need to re-install and erase the backup folder and try and backup everything again and verify. I had to redo everything manually.
Thanks for the help though guys. I appreciate it..
I actually just removed TimeScape and a bunch of other useless (to me) stock apps. I did notice as well when I clicked on a greyed-out item that I had uninstalled, there was no restore button.
So I would have to manually restore everything I had backed up, delete the folder, and reinstall?
Hardly seems worth it. I would just reflash if/when I have to restore.
Is there any way to restore all applications with "one click restore"?
I'm getting tired of pressing accept-done for every applications.

yes...buy pro version
I am moving from a TB to the GIII, and am seeing the same issue. Only my installed apps are greyed out. I've copied a new one over, put the card in the other phone backed up and no change. Pretty strange. Time for a little googling...

[Q] Titanium backup working for anyone?

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
SD card
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

Titanium backup - no apps to restore after flashing ics

Hi.
I backed up all my user apps with titanium and now after flashing cm9 I don't see any apps in the batch restore menu (says 0 apps to restore).
The backup folder is configured to the right one and the folder have all my backed up apps.
Tried: reflashing, wiping, reinstalling TB, rebooting.
What can I do to see and be able to restore my apps?
Thanks in advance
Have you changed the backup location to point to where you have backed up all of your apps through Titanium? That could be why it is displaying that there are no apps that may be restored.

This. Same thing happened to me. Have to tell TiBu what folder the backups are in and then it will load them.
yeah.
the folder is configured right as I said already....

As you did all the above you surely checked that TB's filter function does not prevent your applications from showing up, did you?

Is there any other app to restore te titanium backed up data....?
Make sure "Normal apps (apk)" is checked in Titanium Backup app
In order for the backup to properly be restored after OS upgrade/update, you would need to have the apk files. The apk files are backed up by Titanium Backup as apk.gz files ONLY if the Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked before you back up the apps. Otherwise, it would only backup the app properties and data and not the apk files.
So this is how it works:
Scenario 1: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked
With Titanium Backup, you can restore the APP + DATA.
Scenario 2: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is unchecked
With Titanium Backup, you can restore only the DATA, but you can do so only after you install the app either from playstore or manually (in case if you have the .apk file).
Hope this helps.

[Q] All my Titanium backups disappeared!

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)

Is it possible to restore all apps at once through Titanium backup

as title says, everytime i switch from rom to rom and need to restore my app backups, i have to restore them through titanium backup one by one, which is kind of annoying... is there any way to restore ALL my apps (maybe some option of titanium or something)
Thanks !

Yes, it is available as an option of Titanium. Might only be in the pro version though.
May i ask which option and how can i select it ? this way i can check if its in the free or payed version
PD: it goes without saying that i already searched this through titanium and failed to find such thing. I either suck at it or there is no such thing ! Thanks a bunch

On mine, it's the checkbox icon in the upper right next to the search button. Above the "Schedules" tab.

Note that this restores all your apps including the ones you installed before.
If I may hijack the thread - does anyone know how to restore only the apps I had installed that would be helpful!

Restore user apps
Another nice feature of Titanium Backup is to create an update.zip from your apps. I guess this is a pro feature. You can find this option when you press the menu button and scroll down to the bottom. Then you can choose all your apps (including app data) you want to backup. TB will save them to a single update.zip file. After installing your (new) rom you can install the update.zip and your chosen apps will be restored. :good:
