How do I restore backed up info

My husband bought a brand new iphone. I mistakenly backed up my phone info to his new phone when i was setting it up and now he has all my texts and contacts and his phone shows up under my name on call display. He has used the phone for about week and has many texts and emails and contacts that he dosent want to lose. Can I go back into itunes and back up his phone, restore it to the factory settings then pick and choose what i want to put back onto his phone?

It depends what info you are looking for. If it is info like photos, contacts, or documents, you can most likely do that by backing up the "new phone", restoring to the old version, saving the info, then going back to the new phone setup and adding it to that setup. If it is stuff like game progress and the game will not automatically do it for you, you will have to choose between the old backup or your current version.

*Ask Toolbar Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for these kinds of "extras" (toolbars, security scanners, etc.) to be added to your browser/system/desktop when adding or updating other software, some from very well-know software vendors. You must carefully read information before downloading any "free" software and be very alert during the install process for any opportunity to opt-out of "extras" being installed.
'''If you have the Ask Toolbar''' 
* First try to disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". See: [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

'''You ''MAY'' need to reset a preference''' if searches from the URL/location bar take you to an Ask search page. 
To reset the preference related to Ask search from the URL/location bar via about:config, specifically the keyword.URL preference - 
*Open a new tab or window.
*Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key

Repaired imac has come back with lion. how do I restore backed up files

I had my iMac's hard disk replaced under warranty. I now need to restore my backed-up files from time machine.
The Apple store were nice and have upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion, so I'm now confused as to how I make sure I restore the right files for my applications etc.
How do I go about it? I'd like to keep Lion, but I also want to make sure I've got all my applications etc. from Snow Leopard running.

Boot with the SL install disc, erase the new HD, install SL, and on first boot migrate from your TM backup.
It's easier than that.
Just do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14. No need to erase the disk or install Snow Leopard -- the restore will do all that for you, plus you'll have the exact same version of OSX as you did before.

How do I restore back to 3.1.X?

I upgraded to iOS 4.0 today, but now everything on the phone runs extremely slow, as has been reported all over the web. How the **** does that get past Apple? We're not talking 1-2 seconds slower. I have apps now taking 12-14 seconds to fully start.

Seems to have worked...although I have not gotten it back to a fully restored state yet. Still working on that!
Here's another I received from the forum...
