How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone

I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?

You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

  • I restored a backup from my ipod to my iphone, now my iphone thinks it's my ipod

    Hi all,
    When I got an iPhone 5, I restored a backup from my iPod 5 over the top of the iPhone. 
    Now my iPhone thinks it's my iPod.
    Really, my only problem is when I use iMessages through my iPhone to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod but also right back on the iPhone like it's an incoming message.
    Any ideas?

    Really, my only problem is when I use iMessages through my iPhone to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod but also right back on the iPhone like it's an incoming message.
    If you go to Settings -> Messages, you should see a list of addresses under "You can be reached by iMessage at." Uncheck the email address that the iPod uses and you should stop getting those iPod-only messages.
    While you're there, also check the "start new conversations from" on the iPhone and make sure it's your number. That setting has a tendency to shift to an email address after a restore, which might be exacerbating the situation
    (While you're still there, Settings -> General -> About -> Name to rename the iPhone to something besides the iPod's name!)

  • How to restore a backup from time machine in 10.6.8

    I am running 10.6.8 on my MacPro (early 2008). I have 4 internal hard drives. The main boot drive has 10.6.8 and the secondary drive with a system has Lion. I cannot completely upgrade to Lion on my main drive until all my software is compatible.
    My main boot drive started acting like it's in slow motion 2 days ago. No matter what I do (DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, zap PRAM, fix permissions) nothing seems to help. Every mouse click or movement gives me the dreaded spinnin wheel and it hangs for about 5 min and then does what it's supposed to do. I have logged into a new account w/ no special 3rd party apps or utilities and it still does the same thing. Hard drive diagnostics say my hard drive is ok. I have tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update but that hangs after a few minutes of  starting. I am stymied.
    I thought about restoring a Time Machine backup from 1 day before this happened, but before I attempt a full disk backup, need to ask what to do so as not lose everything.
    I assume I must boot up from another disk or hard drive, correct? Can I simply select all the system folders and apps folder or do you think I should do a complete restore?
    Thanks.

    Could be a failing drive, could be Lion when you boot doing something
    Disconnect all other drives etc., except the 10.6.8 boot drive, lets flush everything.
    hold Shift upon booting, this is Safe mode and fixes things, reboot
    then SMC reset, PRAM reset

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    Run all of OnyX checks, maintainance and cleaning then reboot at the end

    If you have AppleJack already installed hold command S at startup of 10.6.8 and Applejack AUTO and press enter.
    http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
    This mega cocktail will do plenty to rebuild everything and may catch your issue.
    If your still having problems I would try to isolate it, if it occurs only if your connected to the Internet, or after the machine has booted Lion etc.
    Narrow it down. It might be failing sectors on the drive, this has been known to cause beachballs as the hardware is trying to read from failing sectors, once it gets the information it should be transfering it to a new better sector and mapping off the bad one.
    You can expidite this process when you fresh install, by erasing the entire drive (or Free space only) with Zero function in Disk Utility before laying large amounts of data on the drive. (like a OS or partition)
    Good Luck

  • How to restore a backup from TM to a ssd?

    Hello folk,
    I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
    Is it possible? I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money
    In case it's possible, how can I do that?
    Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniele

    This additional backup you mentioned could be saved, for example, on a external USB storage?
    Moreover, in the article you linked, at the "Restore an entire system" section, it's written that I would need to use the Recovery mode.
    So, in order to answer my last question ("Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?"), I'd definitely say that I do need to have already installed any MacOS version on the new SSD so as to restore the entire system, right?

  • HT1414 having trouble restoring the backup from icloud to my new iphone

    I cannot restore my icold backup to my new iphone. Any tips?

    If your backup is newer than the iOS on the phone, you cannot restore from that backup until you update the iOS on the phone first. So is your backup from a newer iOS than what is on the phone? If so, update the phone and then restore from the backup.
    If you would share what happens when you try or provide seem more details - it would be a little easier to offer suggestions.

  • How to restore MobileSync Backup from Hard Drive to new iTunes?

    I am in serious need of help!
    My laptop which had Windows 7 running was crashing down after 4 years. When I brought it to the service center they took my internal drive out to save all the data before too late.
    The problem is I never had the chance to backup my iTunes properly, and now that I'm usiing a new computer, how can I possibly retrieve all the old data?
    The internal drive from the older computer has now been made into a hard drive. I just downloaded the same version of iTunes I was using on this new computer, but how can I possibly restore my older iTunes library. I don't care very much about the music actually, but the mobilesync backup, like messages, notes and etc.
    Thnaks in advance!

  • How to restore a backup from 9300 to a 9300i?

    Hi,
    I have made a backup of my 9300 to my PC. Then it broke and I have bought a 9300i. The issue is, PCSuite does not recognize the old .nfb file as a valid backup file for 9300i. I have saved the backup using an older version of PCSuite. Now I have installed 6.84.10.4 but that did not help much.
    Is there a way to go round this? Say, convert the .nfb file or so.
    Thanks a lot in advance,

  • How to restore specific backup file from RMAN?

    Hi,
    I am just begginer with Oracle DB so I do not have a lot knowledge.
    I created two backups at April the 8th and April the 10th.
    I did following from RMAN.
    shutdown immediate
    startup mount
    configure channel 1 device type disk format '/opt/oracle/backup/std_%U';
    backup database
    startup
    output was:
    including current control file in backupset
    including current SPFILE in backupset
    it created two files: std-0so6l0vn(2 GB) and std_0to6l106 (7 MB).
    First question - first file is backup and what is the second file???
    Today I created also backup and it also created two files: std_0uo6morg (2GB) and std_0vo6morv (7MB)
    Now I want to return backup from 2 days ago (*std-0so6l0vn*) but can't;
    I do the the following:
    shutdown immediate
    startup mount
    restore database from '/opt/oracle/backup/std_0so6l0vn'
    but getting error - only SPFILE or control file can be restored from autobackup.
    How to restore my backup from two days ago? It looks to me so complicated and hardly understandable.
    What command to execute from RMAN to succeed in restore?
    Thank you

    I still can not restore database; I tried Honza method.
    i try

  • How to restore backup from different device

    Hallo... seems I have problem with downloading backup from my older ipad mini (16gb) into newer ipad mini retina (32gb)... during the first setup it aksed me if I want to restore backup from older device, but since my older ipad and its backup was on ios 8.0.2 and newly purchased ipad was still on 7.1.2 i needed to skip this and upgrade os first. now I have new device set up and running ios 8 but I can not get into it backup from older device. what to do?

    Resetting the iPad back to factory defaults should take you to the setup process and let you restore to an iCloud backup : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes :
    You can go through the iOS Setup Assistant again by erasing all the content on the device. Just tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all content from your device, so do this only if you already have a backup. The iOS Setup Assistant is the only way to restore a backup.

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.
