So I tired another Rom and I didn't like it so I went and tired another Rom and for some reason its not showing all of my apk's backed up. It show maybe like 25% of them. I checked the folder and everything is there but it won't show it the restore section. How do I fix this. Thanks ahead.

When you installed titanium, did you go into preferences and choose the correct backup folder? I always have to choose the one on my external sd card because by default titanium uses a folder on my internal card. Just a thought.

Theres also a 'verify backups' in batch mode, at the very top.

So I have the folder in the correct location. I tired a new Rom and redid my back ups on that Rom. Then I didn't like that Rom so I changed it and when I went to go try to restore my apps it's not showing up in the restore section. The apk's are there. As you can see at the very top in the verify sections in the photos I posted. Did anyone have this problem? I'm not sure how to fix this.

Write to the dev, anytime I have had an issue he's written back with help very quickly. I'm not sure how to help.

Have you tried the 'problems' button within the app? There is a lot of stuff in there that might help.

Well, I wouldn't definitely write to the dev then. I think this same thing happened to me a couple years ago, if I remember right I basically had to start over. Have you tried installing the apps from the market and then restoring its data? Or maybe restoring one at a time?

Probably you missed checking the "Normal apps (apk)" option

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.
