How can I apply a backup of one device to a different device?

Hello,
This past week, my phone "fell" and the screen broke beyond all repair. And I'm not talking about a crack...I'm talking about a huge crack as well blue lines being displayed whenever I hit the home button. Other than that, the phone still works. It charges, it syncs, it vibrates when I get calls or messages but I can't see anything on the screen. I know that I can still unlock though. I managed to backup my pictures directly onto my Mac using iPhoto. Besides my pictures and Calendar dates, there wasn't much that I cared for within the actual phone.
I went to my local phone service provider place and they told me that since my phone was a 4S and was covered for damage, I could send it to Apple in exchange for a new phone. I already contacted them and received my new 5C. Now, I'm not really worried about the pictures because they're already in my computer; I'm worried about all the Calendar dates that are in my broken 4S. Yes, I did do a backup AFTER it fell so I have a backup ready. But the thing is that I do not wish to sync this onto my new 5C just for the calendar dates.
I have an old iPod 4th Generation that I'm willing to use to restore with the backup of my 4S but I don't know how to do that. I was hoping that I could apply the backup of my 4S onto my iPod and then manually enter all the dates that I needed onto my 5C
If anyone knows how I can access these dates in any way, shape, or form, it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and I don't think I ever used iCloud for my calendar so that's just a huge setback, huh?

Yes, you can restore the iPod Touch from the iPhone backup, provided the iPod Touch's iOS is the same or better than that of the iOS that was on the iPhone. Example: If you had your iPhone updated to iOS 7.1.1 when you backed it up, your iPod Touch will need iOS 7.1.1 Currently only the 5th Gen iPod Touches can receive this version of iOS. 4th Gen and prior cannot update to iOS 7.
The following article shows limitations when going from iPhone/iPod Touch to iPad or vice versa. The iPhone and iPod Touch are essentially identical with the minor exception of the phone app. They still have all the contacts apps, etc.
iTunes: About iOS backups
Only app data from App Store apps and sync settings will be restored to your device when you do the following:
Restore your iPad from an iPhone or iPod touch backup.
Restore your iPhone or iPod touch from an iPad backup.

HT3275 How can I delete a backup of one of my computers from a shared time capsule?

Hello,
I have a Time Capsule which is used for backup with Time Capsule by two Macs.
One of the Macs is currently offline and I want to delete it's backup manually from the Time Capsule.
This operation takes very long and my impression is, it can not be completed.
How can I delete the backup which is obsolete to free disk space on the Time Capsule?
Kind Regards
Ralph

The fastest, simplest, and most reliable solution would be to erase the Time Capsule disk. That will only take a few minutes, but you will erase the backups of both Macs when you do this. If you don't mind starting over again on the "other" Mac, that would be the way to go.
Few of us ever need the backups, especially backups from months and maybe years back, but I understand that it is not easy to think about erasing them and starting over with new backups.
Deleting an individual backup will take a long time ....that is the way that it is.
Things will go 4-5 times faster on average, and there will be much less of a chance of an error occurring if you connect the Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the process.
Once the sparsebundle file has been deleted, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
I've done this a number of times with no problems. Basically, I setup the file to delete overnight and check the progress in the morning. In every case, the file has been completely deleted when I check.

How can I merge 2 backups in one new Iphone?

Restore backup #2.
Import (to your computer) the photos that are restored to the device.
Repeat as needed if you have multiple backups.
Then, restore whichever backup has the other, most relevant data.
You can then use iTunes to sync whatever photos that are on your computer to your iPhone.

How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. . Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server.

How to transfer photos from backup of one iphone to a different iphone.

I have a iphone5 that was water damaged. It turns on and has display but it does not respond to Swipe in order to unlock the phone: basically useless. I did have a back up to desktop (Windows 7) a few weeks ago. I got a new iphone 5. Contacts were restored from iCloud but I cannot figure out how to transfer the photos from the old phone’s backup onto the new phone. Is this possible to do? Thank you.

I provided a link in my response to the OP. Base on your limited information, if you backup prior to restoring, then restore from your backup.

Can i transfer my backup from one laptop to another?

I have my backup of apps and music stored in one laptop's iTunes account, how can I transfer my backup from one laptop to another?

iTunes downloads are not stored in a backup (that contains documents, files, camera roll photos, app content/settings etc), neither are the contents of the device's Music and Videos apps - instead a restore would look to pick up your music, films, apps etc from your iTunes library.
Your backups are stored under :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
You will need to copy the entire backup directory and copy it into the relevant directory on your other laptop - it should then automatically be picked up by that computer's iTunes and show on the Devices tab in Edit > Preference (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on it.
To copy your iTunes library between computers : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer.
You can also use home sharing to copy content between computers : iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer.

My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

jhb3243
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
Thanks.

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1105
And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:

iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.
If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net). They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

How can i apply gradient...

I have a rectangular shape movie Clip (Size :130px X40 px). I
want to apply linear gradient on it using action script. Can
anybody help me how can I apply gradient on it.
Note: This movie clip is made manually. Not by using
createEmptyMovieClip method.

i already checked this -
MAKE A OVAL ON YOUR STAGE AND GIVE THIS INSTANCE NAME 'ovl'
(withought single quote) and use the code under
here i am creating two movie clips on stage --
1st is 'ovl' and 2nd one is 'mc'
But to apply gradient on ovl i have to use setMask method
like this _root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)
i do not want to use SetMask... I want to apply gradient
directly on 'ovl'
How can i do ??????????????
// create emtpy movieclip
mc = createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
// set the constants for the gradient fill
// the colors
col = [0x000066,0x0033FF];
// the alphas
alp = [100,30];
// the ratios
rat = [100,255];
//this.onMouseMove = function () {
// we will make a radial gradient
// and make it move with the mouse
// first we clear the previous gradient fill
mc.clear();
// get the mouse-position
// the x-coordinate
x = _xmouse-200;
// the y-coordinate
y = _ymouse-200;
// set the matrix for the transformation
matrix = { matrixType:"box",x:x,y:y,w:400,h:400,r:0 }
// now make the new gradient fill
mc.beginGradientFill("linear",col,alp,rat,matrix);
// now make the shape to fill
mc.lineTo(400,0);
mc.lineTo(400,400);
mc.lineTo(0,400);
// end the fill
mc.endFill();
_root.mc.setMask(_root.ovl)
