Data to New Phone

Post by ///Magic »

I'm switching from iPhone 4 to 6

I noticed that my LapTimer data did not transfer over. Is there a way to transfer it all to the new phone easily with iCloud, or should I just export it?

Regards

In case you use the backup / restore from other iPhone process in iTunes, LapTimer data will be transferred automatically - just like for any other app. Due to the amount of data sitting in LapTimer's sandbox, this can take considerably longer than for other apps. The process is going on in background, starting LapTimer before the process is finished may interrupt the transfer. In case it didn't work, please export the full lap list to .hlptrl, send it to your new phone and touch / import the .hlprl attachment. Videos are not transferred by .hlptrl. In case you need a transfer of these, you may use iBrowse or iFunbox to transfer .mov files sitting in LapTimer's Documents folder.

Hi Harry

How do I import .hlptrl from email to the new iPhone Laptimer app? I have the attachment in email on iPhone 6..

I restored my old iPhone data from iCloud backup/restore as it is a "clean" install, but that means laps and app data didn't transfer. Maybe you could store lap data on iCloud as well?

Because the video files fill the iPhone, I'd already manually transferred them elsewhere

Long-press the .hlptrl attachment in Mail and select LapTimer to import it.
