    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s by accident. How do i retrieve them through itunes?

    HELP!! I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s. I need to know how to retrieve them through itunes! I have tried alot of things and nothing is working!! Thank YOu

    If you had these messages on your phone when you last synced and haven't synced your phone again since losing them, the messages will be contained in the backup created when you synced (unless you are backing up your phone to iCloud).  If you restore your phone to this backup it will return your messages to your phone.  (If you have already syned again since losing them then you have already overwritten your earlier backup and your messages are lost.)  Restoring to a backup will revert all data and settings you your phone to those contained in the backup, not just messages.  If you have more recent data on your phone that you want to save you must do this before restoring it from backup.  If you want to restore from backup, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?

    I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?

    If the text is still on the phone and wasn't deleted, I don't see why not. Probably easiest to use an app like TouchCopy (Mac and PC) or PhoneView (Mac), rather than looking through things on the phone itself.

  • Is there any way to access my old my verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    Is there any way to access my old my Verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?
    Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.
    On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.

  • How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Sometimes it takes longer than two minutes to get answer. Additionally, it's a support forum for Apple products, not Skype. You might get lucky and get an answer, you might not. While you're waiting, why don't you try Skype support?

  • I deleted a text message from a number I forgot to save. Is there a way to find this message again ?

    I deleted a text message from a number I forgot to save. Is there a way to find this message again ?

    The only way would be to restore the phone from a backup made by syncing the phone while this message was still on it.  Note: this would revert all data and settings to those in the backup, not just messages.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • How do I get my old text messages from my iPhone to my new Galaxy?

    Recently, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4.  I upgraded my account from Sprint and got my new phone at Best Buy.  I'm trying to get into my iTunes because I know I recently synched my iPhone on my iTunes a little over a week ago.  What I'm trying to do is get into my iTunes because I know my iCloud is backed up on iTunes.  I got all of my contacts and pictures already transferred from my iPhone to my Galaxy.  Now, that last thing I'm really worried about is my old text messages. There is this old text message that I'm needing to save, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my old text messages to my new phone.
    Is there some way I can get those back or what I need to go to Geek Squad to help me with this?

    Apple has not designed the iPhone for loading up old messages across phone platforms.
    Screenshot the important stuff on the Android or use a tool to archive the old SMS on your computer.
