I am a widower. Have been for five years. I am only in my forties, so I’m not old old.
But my wife did absolutely everything on the computer for me, and all I ever did was check the scores.
Now I had my first ever game, called GT racing, and my daughter accidentally removed the app from my we iPad, and I put the app back into the iPad and all of my information is gone.
Every achievement, every car, etc.
I had watched your video about macrplant, and when I get to the part where I press save, nothing happens after that,
When you say to “go to desktop” and “open the app” I have no idea what you mean.
I am lost, and I spent around $150 on that game.
Do I have to buy macroplant? Is what you were showing on you tube a purchased macroplant?
Help me. Barto.
