How do I restore old 32GB 4s backup to new 16 GB 5s?

My old iPhone 32G 4s' screen quit working. I managed to get my old 4s backed up (this was no easy feat as iTunes expected me to respond to a prompt on my phone that I could not see). Then, I traded up to a new 5s.
On my first iTunes sync with my new 5s, it asked me if I would like to restore my 4s data to the new 5s. So far so good. Easy-peasy, right? Wrong.
The process kicked off. Within moments, my 5s begins a reboot. Then i get a bombshell from iTunes: The restore has failed. There is not enough space on my new 5s to complete the restore. "Ok" No, not OK!
That was it. The message went away and no further assistance was offered..
Now, to be honest, I didn't expect it to work the first time. My new 5s has only 16GB (that was all they had available--5s inventories are dwindling with the 6 now on the market). I can do the math; 32 is way bigger than 16GB I have now.
Yet, I never expected that iTunes would be this dumb. I get it! Not all of my old iPhone's data is going to fit on my new 5s. Still, I thought it would give me a chance to pick through my music and photos from the backup data and select what I wanted to transfer. Or, I might have settled for an option to restore only app data, settings, photos, etc..and leave the audio files behind--they are still in my Library after all.
So am I screwed? I hope not. I good chunk of my life is entombed in that 4s backup---I have to find a way to get the photos back for sure. A third-party utility, perhaps?

create a backup of your old phone either in itunes or icloud
then, get your new phone and restore from that backup. If it's restoring from an itunes backup, you'll need to plug it into that computer
if you're restoring the new 4s from an icloud backup, you can only do it from the setup process of the new phone

Issues with restoring a Time Machine backup onto new Macbook Pro Retina

I recently got a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've been trying to restore a Time Machine backup made today from my old Macbook Pro laptop. I didn't restore from the first start up (foolishly, seemingly) simply because of the trivial reason of wanting to see the system all clean and new.
I've tried the Migration Assistant but it gets stuck on "looking for source..", despite having the ex.HD plugged in and double checking the existance of the backup itself on the ex.HD.
I've also tried booting the laptop up in the 'restore' mode (cmd R) and restoring from there but it sends me in a constant loop of 'this backup was from a previous model of laptop' or something to that affect. It also doesn't display the recent backups at all, only displaying those from the beginning of this year for some reason. All backups are in the same place on the ex.HD so its not an issue with locating the backups.
Really stuck on this one! Would really appreciate some help!
Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

Yes, you can restore to another machine if needs be.

Help with Restoring from Time Machine Backup with new Hard Drive

Hello. Recently, my hard drive died in my 24" Early 2008 Aluminum iMac. Luckily, I had a time machine backup, and I took it upon myself to replace the 320 GB Hard Drive with a 2 TB Seagate Barracuda disk. The hardware replacement (although difficult) went fine. Now, I'm having a bit of trouble restoring the new drive from my time machine backup. The new disk shows up in Disk Utility with the correct capacity. I formatted the new drive with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using my installation disk. My only problem is that the drive isn't showing up when I am choosing which drive I want to restore my time machine backup onto. I can pick out the backup I want perfectly fine, but I can't find the new drive. Any help?

UPDATE: I restarted it (Classic IT Crowd "Have you tried turning it off and on" moment) and the drive shows up on screen. Right now, I'm waiting for it to "Calculate disk size needed for restore" and I'll keep you posted.
UPDATE 2: Currently restoring. Let's see if it's successful.

How to restore from an incremental backup when new datafiles are added

1) Source - We have a base backup and then take differential (LEVEL 1) backups every day. Due to business needs, new datafiles keep added daily in the database. So you will see an incremental backup having new datafiles that got created after the LEVEL 0 backup.
2) Destination - We want to restore this database in the destination host "continiously".
a) I first restored from the BASE FULL - LEVEL 0 . This was successful (restored and recovered, but did not OPEN the database)
b) But restoring a LEVEL 1 now on top of the already restored LEVEL 0 makes the restore start all over again if there are NEW DATAFILES added after the LEVEL 0 backup in the source database.
This is not a problem when no new datafiles are added/modified between the "BASE" and "LEVEL 1" backup.
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?
-Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?The recovery process after the restore should add the newly created datafiles on the destination host.
Can you check by querying v$datafile in mount mode and post the output?
Regards,
Tycho

How to restore files from Timemachine backup to new Macbook

Hi,
I have just got a new Macbook and want to transfer the photos from iphoto on an existing iMac onto it.
I have the iMac backed up to Timemachine but don't want to clone the new Macbook from the iMac settings/files, just copy across the iPhotos.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
regards,
Chris

Restoring iCloud's iPhone Backup to an iPod Touch

Hi there.
My last birthday wasn't precisely the best, as I got my iPhone 4 stolen.
Had to deal with an Android device which isn't nearly as good as what I was used to have, so I decided to buy this fancy iPod Touch 4G 64 gb until the new iPhone arrives and see how it fares. My idea is to leave the Android phone only to make/answer calls and tether internet to the iTouch.
Problem is, I was thinking about restoring the stolen iPhone's iCloud backup to the iPod Touch so I didn't have to fiddle around with settings and stuff (and to not loose all my Chrono Trigger's advance ), but can't seem to be able to do that. I'm aware that those two are different devices and some things wouldn't work (like whatsapp without a proper mobile number), but it seems like a nonsense to me if you can't transfer the backup between two devices that are more or less the same.
I hope someone knows if there's a way to restore my iPhone's backup to the iTouch.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I finally managed to do that, weird thing is I had to wipe and restore the iPod Touch's and sync it with iCloud at the very beggining of the setup, obviously whatsapp doesn't work with the iTouch so it got automatically deleted, but for everything is Ok, I find the iTouch to be a tad slower than the iPhone though and miss the flash, but that's how it goes by now.

Failed to backup my new iPhone, then restored from iPod, lost pics on new iPhone!

I have been using an iPod for two years, and been good about backing it up. I finally bought an iPhone, and backed up my iPod one final time. I then didn't find the time to restore to the new iPhone, and used it for two whole weeks. I finally remembered, and restored from my old to my new iPod. Unfortunately I forgot I had taken 100 pics on my new iPhone, and I lost them all. Are they recoverable? My son's first homecoming and first crew regatta pictures (of course). Heartbroken. I sent a few pics to my son, but I lost the rest. Thanks for helping is you can. Yes, I learned my lesson!

That is a shame. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a way to backup your iTunes library and other personal data folders.

New Ipod touch update freezing at 'restoring Ipod software..'

Hey guys
So I love my Ipod (have not jail-broken it) and saw there was a new update for the ipod software....so downloaded it. Its downloaded fine and then said it had to delete everything off my Ipod to update.
It deleted everything but when it got to the 'Restoring Ipod Software' part, the bar froze both on Itunes and on my ipod.
I've tried holding the center button and hold button so it resets, it tells me to connect to itunes but when I plug it back in it tells me my ipod is in recovery mode, it then goes through the same process and freezes in the exact same place.
This is really annoying, and if anyone has an answer to fix this (I don't mind if it means not getting this new crappy update) please please please tell me
Thankyou

The backup that iTunes makes does not include music, and other items like synced photos that are synced to the iPod. If these items are not on the computer/iTunes library on the computer on which the update was performed, the items will not be on the iPod after the update. The following lists what is included in the backup.

- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

ITunes. After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

iTunes. After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen. I have done this several times. One time, the display went to the home screen, but immediately went back to the white screen when I plugged it into the charge cord. The music continued to play however. help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
