Transfer Data from Lite to Full

Thanks for upgrading! You're really going to enjoy the GPS tracking. 

So let's get your data moved over from Lite so you're good to go. The short answer is that there's a tutorial inside MileBug on the Backup tab at the bottom. Just click "What is iTunes File Sharing?", and then click "How to use File Sharing with MileBug". (see screenshots to the right and below)

Here's some detailed steps to help you with this simple process:

FIRST: Backup MileBug Lite Data to Your Computer

1) Open MileBug Lite and select the Backup tab at the bottom

2) Tap the "Back up and Sync" button

3) Connect your iPhone to your computer and move the backup data file to your computer using iTunes File Sharing (see the tutorial inside MileBug mentioned above - screenshot below)

THEN: Load Lite Data file into full version of MileBug

1) Use iTunes File Sharing to put your Lite data backup file into the full version of MileBug

2) Launch MileBug (full) on your iPhone.

3) Select "Restore From Backup"

4) Choose the backup file in the picker from step 1 (probably only one there)

5) Tap "Restore Data"

That's it! Remember, the iTunes File Sharing is how you can always make a backup of your MileBug data. We recommend doing this on a monthly basis, and always doing it before you upgrade either the iOS or MileBug.

Syncing Mileage Data: Apple's Restrictions

iTouch Users from all over have had trouble with many different applications freezing up and having to be reinstalled. Apple has now (hopefully) addressed this with the new upgrade to the iPhoneOS (2.1), for both iPhone and iPod Touch.

However, prior to this, many people have lost the data associated with their apps because of this. I have had a couple inquiries regarding the syncing of mileage logs to the home computer when the device syncs via iTunes. Problem...Apple doesn't allow it!

It's true! Developers are not able to write applications that sync/save data during the iTunes sync process. This is why you'll see a number of applications that email reports (like MileBug), use file transfer apps, or even build custom web sites that allow the backing up of data.

So while this is not the most desirable setup, it's what Apple has given us to live with. We have looked at building a web application that would allow MileBug users to back up their data, but it just hasn't happened yet. So for now, please periodically email yourself a report of your data. Making backups is a good habit for any software you use. Enjoy!
