Is there a way to selectively restore a new 16 gig 4s from a 32 gig 3Gs backup?

Not sure whom I'm addressing (is this a forum?), but I'm hoping to get some tips for my situation:
I have a 32 gig 3Gs and I want to move all of its data (minus a bunch of photos and music that won't fit) to my new (used) 4s.
I would really like as much of my texts, apps, settings, data, etc., as possible to remain.
What are my options?
Thanks!
My computer is a 2007 (ugh)  MBP

I just went to backup my 3Gs and it won't let me do so because I don't remember the encryption password from a previous backup. Any ideas?
From here...
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    Awesome thanks! I just replaced the new preference file with this one from my old Time Machine backup and everything is back to how it was before.

  • Is there a way to select a certain box of elements from a csv file and read that into LabVIEW?

    Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to select only a certain "box" of elements from a .csv file in LabVIEW? I have LabVIEW 2011 and my main goal is to take two arrays and graph them against each other. I can import the .csv file just fine and separate each row and each column to be its own, but say I have an 8X8 but want to graph the middle 4X5 or something like that. Is there any way to extract an array without starting at the beginning and without ending at the end? Thank you in advance.
    Solved!

    Hi Szklanam,
    as a CSV file is just a TXT file with a different suffix you can read a certain number of lines of that file. So you can limit the number of rows in your resultung array. To limit the number of columns you still have to use ArraySubset, so maybe it's a lot easier to read the full CSV file and pick the interesting spots with ArraySubset...

  • I restored my new iphone 6 from my iPhone 5 iCloud backup but the pictures from my camera never restored. How do I fix this?

    Just purchased an iPhone 6 and during setup I restored from my iPhone 5 iCloud backup.  Everything  seems to be there but my photos that I had taken using the iPhone 5. Is there a way to get them back?  Most of my pics are synced with iTunes but the last few months had not been.

  • TS4036 i no longer have my iphone is there any way i can restore my photos, documents, & data from my windows pc?

    i need to retrieve my photostream on my pc from my iphone that i no longer have

    You can set up iCloud and enable photo stream on your pc as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, but you will only get back photo stream photos added in the last 30 days. 
    Your camera roll photos and other data and settings would be restored by restoring your backup to a replacement iPhone.  If it's an iCloud backup, it will also restore your purchased apps and other media.

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • Can I choose a backup-font for missing characters in a style? Or is there a way to select pink areas

    I have to layout tons of UTF 8 data from a MySQL database.
    There is one problem. The designer picked a font that does not contain the Japanese characters. But there is much inline-Japanese in the text.
    So the imported text has many pink areas (characters not present in font).
    So I search for any of the following options:
    Is there a way to define a fall-back font (like webbrowsers do). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all weird characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
    Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares, and apply a character-style to them? That way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka font
    Is there a way to have InDesign parse some sort of markup-elements in plain text? I could tweak the MySQL output with PHP to wrap all strange symbols in a markup-item like [japanese]blabla[/japanese]. If that would be converted to characterstyle "Japanese" on import, I would be helped a lot as well.
    The font hack: is there a way to load all available characters in the designfont into Osaka and replace those characters and make Osaka2? Or would that result in a mess?
    I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
    Does anybody know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to tackle my problem?

    Thanks for standing in for me, Peter - we were hosting the extended family, I did nothing but cook for hours.

    This is what I'd do, honestly.  It depends on your available output-from-DB formats, and what you're placing/importing into ID. But if you're placing raw text (?) then you can't simply use Type -> Find Font, so the GREP solutions offered here are good ones.
    I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
    Note that the "baseline" in Japanese is not the same place as the baseline in Latin-script. Japanese doesn't really have a baseline - they operate with a completely separate set of typographical conventions - but the effect is that you should not line up the bottom of your Japanese glyphs with the Latin-script baseline. Set some bilingual text in a good font (Kozuka Mincho Pro, it came with ID, you probably already have it installed) and take a look.
    it is very important that you have the correct glyphs or you risk changing the meanings or making the author look like an idiot. If you don't read Japanese you would be well advised to have the document checked by someone who does to be sure it reads OK before it goes into the wild.
    Chances that you'll make something completely illegible are minimal when handling Japanese, but there are a very large number of reasons why you can't just flow Japanese into English-language ID and expect it to work. There are permissible places to wrap Japanese, and places where it's not permissible. The paragraph composer you'd be using if you are using English-language ID will happily break Japanese in the wrong place. This is analagous to bad hyphenation, but looks far more idiotic to the Japanese readership than bad hyphenation looks to an English-language readership (who probably wouldn't notice bad hyphenation unlesss they happen to be a design-savvy readership). Look into using something like Japanese Indesign or World Tools Pro or the TransPacific Digital Japanese-composer template files.

  • Is there a way to select every other page in a multi page pdf and convert it to grayscale?

    I'm going to ask this question in a few sub-forums, so if you think you've seen it, you might have.
    Where I work I use a program that can print to pdf. We use it to produce mailings, usually postcards, that are addressed.
    I often end up with a 500 page document that will print on 250 sheets of cover stock, which will get cut into 1,000 postcard, all pre-addressed and sorted by zip code.
    Usually, the address side is all black and the front is color. The printers we use can print a black click on the address side and a color click on the other, IF the pdf is set up that way. Otherwise, both sides will be counted as color clicks.
    I know I can select pages individually in a pdf and convert them to grayscale and those pages will be counted by the printer as black clicks, which are cheaper than color clicks.
    The problem is, I have not figured out how to convert all the odd numbered pages to grayscale at once. As a result, I usually end up printing the color side simplex, then putting the job back in the tray and printing the black side. Of course, that only works if only one side is personalized, sometimes both sides are.
    Is there a way to select every other page in a pdf and convert it to grayscale?

    The Acrobat SDK has sample code that shows how to convert the colors for one page (the first page of a document). This sample can easily be adjusted to process every other page. You can then use an Action that executes this JavaScript to process the document. Do you know how to create an Action? If so, you can use this script (as I said, adapted from the sample in the SDK) to convert all odd pages (1, 3, 5, ...):
    // Get a color convert action
    var toGray = this.getColorConvertAction();
    // Set up the action for a conversion to RGB
    toGray.matchAttributesAny = -1;
    toGray.matchSpaceTypeAny = ~toGray.constants.spaceFlags.AlternateSpace;
    toGray.matchIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Any;
    toGray.convertProfile = "Gray Gamma 1.8";
    toGray.convertIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Document;
    toGray.embed = true;
    toGray.preserveBlack = false;
    toGray.useBlackPointCompensation = true;
    toGray.action = toGray.constants.actions.Convert;
    // Convert every other page
    for (var i=0; i<this.numPages; i++) {
      console.println("Processing page " + i);
      if (i % 2 == 0) {  // change to "if (i % 2 != 0) {" for all even numbers
      console.println("in page " + i);
      console.println(this.colorConvertPage(i, [toGray], []));
    As I've indicated in the code, you can change this to all even numbers by changing the == to !=
