How do you recover from catastrophic change of PC and iPhone at same time?

Long Story:
1) Upgraded from iP3G to iP4 last year, kept both. iP4 synched regularly. 3G in storage.
2) Synching PC died (motherboard) but have HDD.
3) LOST iP4 in mountains.
4) Got new PC.
5) Reactivated 3G.
Now I'm trying to figure out what files to put where from old HDD to new PC to get contacts/data/settings/SMS/photos, etc? I have it all on the old HDD and it is in an enclosure. I just need to know what key files I need, where they are on the old HDD and where to put them on the new. (Both old and new PC's are running Win7 Ult.)

Thanks, Eric-
Not a great option at this point, b/c I'm using this as an opportunity to rearrange the file structure of my stuff, using libraries differently and the like, and I've already moved some things. I found the below post on another thread helpful, except...
Computer crashed, moved iPad to new PC...
When I go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, it lists the backup I want to restore from, but it has the same name as the current backup. When I right click on the iPhone under Devices and go to the Restore from Backup Wizard, it only lists the current backup.
So here's what I tried:
0) Went to Users>Me>AppData>Roaming>Apple Computer> MobileSync
1) I created a folder called "Temp"
2) I copied the current backup folder to Temp
3) In the Backup folder, I opened the folder containing the current backup and deleted the whole thing, emptying that folder.
4) I copied the entire contents of the desired backup into the newly emptied folder.
5) But now it doesn't give me the option to restore.
6) So I undid the changes and got back to square 1.
So my current question is how can I get it to restore from an alternate backup, especially since the two phones had the same name so the backups have the same name?

    How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    Hi friends,
    Thank you for trying to help me out.
    Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
    I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
    I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
    I think now my question is more clear...

  • How do you Enable/Disable a user's ScreenSaver and set it's time

    How do you Enable/Disable a user's ScreenSaver and set it's "Start Screen Saver" time.
    I am writting an application in java which uses JNI and a screen saver to lock users out of the computer unless they enter the correct username and password.
    If they enter the correct password I need to Enable the ScreenSaver at a specific about of time (time can be changed remotely) so I can "log out" the user.
    I need to disable the screen saver after the screen saver runs so that it doesn't run while the java login program is running.
    I have this working already on Windows XP but can't find any way to program this on Mac OS X.

  • Help. How do you TAB from HTML component to applet (and back) ?

    How can one tab between applets in a browser, and from an applet to an HTML component?
    For example, I have the following in my page in decending order:
    an HTML text field,
    an applet containing two components,
    and another HTML text field.
    When focus is on the first HTML text field pressing TAB should shift focus to the first component of the applet, the next TAB press shifts focus to the second component of the applet, and the next TAB press shifts focus to the other HTML text field. Then another TAB press cycles back to the first TEXT field.
    I can handle the tabbing within the applet using the FocusManager, but how can I get the applet to receive focus on a TAB from the browser, and once the applet has focus, how can I give focus back to the browser when a TAB occurs from my last applet sub-component?
    At the moment a user has to click on the applet before he can tab in it, and then click outside it to tab in the html again.
    Any help appreciated, as I cant find any reference to how to do this apart from other people asking the same but getting no replies.
    Thanks,
    Menno

    I see what you are saying. Either use javascript with LiveConnect or go all applets.
    What we are actually doing at the moment is trying to componentise using small applets passing data via InfoBus. So I guess we could use only applets as you suggest. Either with getAppletContext, or we could have a data item on the InfoBus which contains the name of the required in-focus applet, and all applets listen to see if it is their name, and if so request focus.
    I'm suprised applets are not tab-able between by default. I would have thought this was a common requirement.
    I'll look into LiveConnect as well, and let you know how we get on.
    Cheers,
    Menno

  • How do you not share contacts on your iPad and iPhone when sharing an apple ID, How do you not share contacts on your iPad and iPhone when sharing an apple ID

    How do you not share contacts when having an iPad and iPhone when you share an apple ID

    Presumably you mean you are sharing the same iCloud account? Except for turning off contacts on one of the devices, you can't stop sharing contacts. iCloud accounts are not designed to be shared among different people with different personal data.
    You should each gave your own personal iCloud account, setup under your own individual AppleID.
    You can still use the shared AppleID for the iTunes and AppStore purchases you already have though.

  • How do you send report to a file & a printer at the same time?

    I need to run a 10g form that will get the filename that the user wants to save the report as and also a printer that the user would like to print the report to at the same time. I've tried using the distribution option with an xml destination file, but I keep getting errors when try to use variables in the xml file. Anyone know how to do this?

    I'm not sure which variables with which you're having troubles, but the following distribution file format accomplishes what you requested here (ver 9.0.4.2 running on Windows 2003-YMMV), provided that the Report Server can see and has rights to:
    1) The specified printer.
    2) The specified destination directory.
    <destinations>
    <printer id="p1" name="\\myprintqueue\my_valid_priner_name">
    <include src="report"/>
    </printer>
    <file id="f1" name="\\MyFileserver\ASubdir\DestSubdir\MyFilename.PDF" format="pdf">
    <include src="report"/>

  • How can I do to sinc my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s with Time Capsule? i need to transfered informatioon between bouth ip and time capsule.

    I have got and iPad 2 and iPhone 4s and I need to do a back up of docs, music and photos between Ipad and iphone an Time Capsule.

    You backup iOS devices to iTunes.. the iTunes then keeps the files and they are backed up via TM.
    To copy the files, you need to download a file app.. just look up file app, and that will allow you to copy files to and from the TC.. you cannot sync to the TC. There is no TM type app for iOS.. and in fact the file apps do not use AFP at all.

  • How can you restore from both an iCloud backup AND an iTunes backup?

    In article HT5262 (linked below) iOS backups are covered. There is a section "When to use iCloud and iTunes Backup together". I understand how to do this and the reasons why. What I haven't been able to find is an explanation of how you would actually restore from both? I know how to restore from each, however, if I first restore from iCloud, how can I then proceed to restore from iTunes without overwriting my iCloud restore?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262

    Demo, thanks for the reply. What you wrote is exactly what I thought. I'm trying to figure out why Apple is putting out this article (see partial contents below). The implication is that you can restore from both or why back up some data to one and different data to the other:
    "When to use iCloud and iTunes Backup together
    For an extra level of backup for your data, you can use iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup together."
    Tip: If you are using iCloud and iTunes Backup together, and you simply want to speed up your iCloud Backup & Restore functions, you can save iCloud storage by turning off iCloud Backup for very large data types. For example, if you have a 15 GB Camera Roll on your iPhone, you may not wish to back it up to iCloud because it is already being manually backed up to iTunes. You can disable back up of any iCloud Backup item in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Backups > Backup Options. After doing so, these items will only be backed up when you manually back up to iTunes.

  • How do I mirror from windows PC to multiple ipads at the same time?

    Work in a band.  Band uses a Windows 7 PC and I need to mirror that screen to at least two, and up to four, ipad screens for other band members.  The ipads only need to mirror the PC screen.  They do not need to have any control or influence over the PC - just observation.  Currently run AirDisplay to connect one ipad but need to connect multiple now.
    Air Display doesn't work - won't connect multiple devices from PC and one of the Ipads is a first generation and doesn't use Air Display
    IDisplay doesn't work - doesn't mirror from a PC, only extends
    PLEASE help!  So frustrating.  I know there must be a way!

    Was a solution found?
    Is there any Program/App that will allow mirroring a Windows 7 PC screen to one iPad wirelessly but without allowing the iPad to control the PC....just view?

  • How do you sync PDFs between iPad air 2 and iPhone 6 plus in iBooks?

    I Have read the manual. Tried iCloud, options in iBooks and airdrop. Can't seem to do it. I finally emailed the PDFs to myself. i don't want to email all my PDFs to myself. There must be a better way.

    I store things like PDFs in a DropBox account. They're then accessible from pretty much any device. On my iPad, I use PDF Expert for viewing and editing PDFs.
