Recently I have lost or partially lost Tacx rides using their trainer software on my iPad, and also had one lost Zwift ride.<\/p>\n

For Zwift there is a way to recover partial rides if the software freezes, by peering into the iPhone or iPad with a laptop program called iMazing. It’s a chargeable program, but has a set of free functions which are enough to bring up the Zwift\/activities folder in the iPad, from where stored .fit files \u00a0– and also image files if you have taken screenshots – can be copied to upload manually to Strava.<\/p>\n

Zwift have the following advice on their support pages at https:\/\/support.zwift.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/202257019-Can-I-upload-my-activities-to-a-third-party-site-<\/a><\/p>\n

“Finding your local .fit file<\/span><\/p>\n

If for any reason you experience an issue, such as a game crash or Internet loss, your fit file is\u00a0automatically saved every 10 minutes in the\u00a0\\Documents\\Zwift\\Activities folder on your computer.<\/p>\n

If you’re riding on iOS, you can reach your .fit file through iTunes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plug your device into your computer and open up iTunes.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on your device in iTunes, then click “Apps” and scroll down to the “File Sharing” section.<\/li>\n
  3. You should see Zwift listed, and it should have a “Zwift” folder. Click that, and then click “Save To” and save it to a location of your choice.<\/li>\n
  4. Find the saved Zwift folder, and copy the fit file out of the Zwift\/Activities folder.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    but I couldn’t find a way of saving the folder from iTunes to my laptop, although it is visible in iTunes where they say it is.<\/p>\n

    In any case, with iMazing you can pick off just the file you want, not necessarily the whole folder, so it’s a better way of doing it. Here are a couple of screenshots of what iMazing presents:<\/p>\n
