Need to collect history of text messages to one person easily

Is ther an easier way of collecting an entire  text conversation over a long period of time without having to scroll through and screen-shot from the beginning?

You can only recover deleted messages by restoring your phone to a backup made by syncing your phone while the messages were still on it.  This will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backup, not just messages.  To do this, first disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent...), then connect your phone and right-click on it on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Restore from Backup.
Also, you can't "lock" messages so they can't be deleted.  The best thing to do is to sync your phone regularly so you have the option to restore from backup if you accidently lose something.

  • HT3529 easiest way to print out my text messages from one person

    I would love to know the easiest way to print out my text messages from one person, how can I do that?
    I just did the last IOS updated, I'm not sure the number after it

    Printing from the iPhone either requires an AirPrint compatible printer, or an app from the App Store. You would have to search to see if they are free or cost. Also, the printing of text messages would either require you to make a screen shot of the message and to print that as a photo, or you would need a 3rd party software on the computer to copy the entire message to the computer and print from there. There is no native print capability for entire message threads.

    Do you have that person blocked? Set to Do Not Disturb (Open the conversation thread, tap Details in the upper right, check that DND is set to Off)?

  • I can't send text message to one person.

    I can receive a text message from her, but unable to reply: "not delivered". No problem with Imessages to the same person.
    Already tried to delete message thread + contact, didn't work.
    Help?

    This was as an issue for me on iOS8.1 on the 6 too.
    I followed this and recreated the contact prior to sending the message - it didn't work. However, I went through the steps again and I didn't create the contact, instead just added the number, it went through. Thanks for the help.

  • HT1349 my iphone wont send normal text messages to one person but it works for everyone else, what do i do?

  • Can send text message to one person (2nd attempt)

    I accidentally marked an answer as the correct solution and can't unmark it so I'm trying again.
    I have a 4-S and whenever I try to send a text to  one particular number, the number comes up green (instead of blue or black) and the message doesn't get sent.  Below, in red, it says "Not Delivered"  Any thoughts?  Any way I can fix this?
    And, yes, the iMessage setting is on.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Try deleting all of her contact information from your phone and any existing message threads. Reset the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the silve apple appears. Then, when the phone has restarted,  add her contact information back.

  • TS2755 How come I cannot send or receive text messages from one of my contacts yet I can call the person from teh same number?

    I have tried to send a text message to one of my contacts but it is never received and I am told they have sent me texts that I have never received.  We both have the correct tel numbers in the contact info. The message shows as sent in green.  Any ideas why or how to fix this.  I already have the most up to date iOS in the phone (iPhone 5).

    Contact your carrier. SMS messaging is completely reliant on the carrier.

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?

    When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?  All three of our iphones are using the same itunes account but all of the sharing is turned off and I have checked to make sure that each phone is set to only recieve imessages at its own number. 

    Are you using the same email address for imessages, Go to settings,message, send and recieve, does each phone have the same email? checked?

  • HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

    Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

    I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

  • Cannot send or receive text messages to one friend

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem sending & receiving text messages to one particular friend. (I have an iPhone 4, she is with another carrier) She can text to other people, as well as I can. Also, we used to be able to text one another. It just all of the sudden stopped one day. We are able to call each other with no problem. I've searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find anyone else with this particular issue...
    Thank you!!!

    You're welcome.
    Tell her to update the Preferred Roaming List for her cell phone which Verizon recommends every subscriber do on a regular basis - once a quarter at least. This doesn't sound like it should or will have anything to do with this particular problem, but it can.

  • Cannot send text message to one mobile number

    Recently moved from iphone 4 to iphone 6 and changed the carrier from Tmobile to Verizon, post this change I am not able to send text message to one specific mobile number. The other person can send text to my number. The message sent to this specific phone number from iphone 6 appears green as sent but is not received by the other specific number. I can send messages to all the other friends but not to this specific number. The other person reached to his carrier (Tmobile) and they confirmed that it is not coming in their network after doing the testing from my end. This problem started when moved from Tmobile to verizon.

    Hi,
    This was already checked with the Tmobile carrier and their technicians as test from verizon side. It is not that it is not being received on their network, the issue is it is not being sent out from Verizon network. I have checked in my online account of Verizon with my SMS usage and it shows that no SMS has been sent out to this T-mobile number. I have tried sending SMS 30 - 40 times and there is no record in my online account about the SMS sent out. This means that the SMS is not going out from verizon network to this specific user. I hope I have made myself clear here in terms of issue definition. I have tried all possible options of deleting message thread, deleting contacts at both the sides, resetting network, switching off imessage, Airplane mode on-off, sending SMS by adding 001 to the mobile number etc.
    Kindly help urgently.
