Restoring a database is a bit trickier, so follow these steps:



  • WARNING - restoring a database from backup will completely overwrite your existing data!!
  • Backup your database from within the app, or manually copy another "BandManager backup.sqlite" file to the iTunes file sharing area for iBandManager inside of iTunes
  • Go to settings and select "Restore database from iTunes"
  • Follow the instructions given in the app which are repeated below
  • Put iBandManager in the background by hitting the home button on the iPad
  • Double-click the home button on the iPad to show the list of apps currently running
  • Hold down on the iBandManager icon until you see a red minus sign
  • Tap the minus sign to completely exit the app
  • Hit the home button on the iPad again to view your home screen
  • Open iBandManager again from your home screen
  • As long as you had a backup database in iTunes file sharing before doing this, you should see a message that a database was successfully restored
