    with respect to your ini file from your first post you should call:

    iniSettings->beginGroup("Personal");
    iniSettings->value("Age");
    iniSettings->endGroup();
    

    or alternatively (if you don't have a group set!):

    iniSettings->value("Personal/Age");

      yes i just wanted to add as @aha_1980 said.
      Use the mentioned constructor, since in your case it is not required to mess with the scopes.

        @raven-worx okay, I have included in the constructor itself.
        code: iniSettings=new QSettings(filename,QSettings::IniFormat,this);

                with the usage of the right Constructor your ini-file should be read correctly now.
                So now you can use QSettings::childGroups() to traverse all groups and read the values as i described above or with the use of QSettings::beginGroup() and QSettings::childKeys()

                foreach( QString group, iniSettings->childGroups() )
                {
                     // process group
                     iniSettings->beginGroup(group);
                         foreach( QString key, iniSettings->childKeys() )
                         {
                                QVariant val = iniSettings->value(key);
                                // process val
                         }
                     iniSettings->endGroup();
                }

                      yes, i am still too lazy for such a convenient function to deprecate it also in my head ;)
