Restore iPhone 3GS from iPhone 4?


had issue arise hope able help. wife's iphone 4 stolen (no, didn't have find iphone turned on; yes, stupid of not that). thankfully, have dad's barely used 3gs we've been able transfer number in order use until iphone 5 (or whatever) comes out later year.

we'd restore old settings iphone 4 had synced macbook , of settings , such back. however, when plug in, no option restore backup comes up. there can force happen or possible restore 3gs iphone 4 backup? dad had info on when used it. have restore factory settings (without backing current state) , try set new device?

in advance.
 

you sure have iphone 4 backup file saved on computer right?
have plug in 3gs , hit restore.
once done updating , restoring latest 5.0.1 ask if want restore backup or setup new.
select restore backup , pick drop down box 1 of available backup files.
can restore 3gs i4 backup, not problem long 3gs runs latest firmware or @ least firmware version i4 backup file created on.
