Restoring Only Text Messages and Phonecall History From Backup

Hello,
I just restored my iPhone and I was wondering if there was a way to restore only text messages and phonecall history from my back up this morning.
The backup is located on my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard if that helps. Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the discussions,
you can only restore the whole content of the backup, at least that's what is supported by Apple. There is software out there letting you read and extract parts of your backup, for example photos, but you'll have to use this on your own risk. One example can be found here: http://supercrazyawesome.com/
Whatever you do, make sure to back up your backup folder before, or use Time Machine to do it for you.

  • Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

    text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

    i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
    if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
    i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
    the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

  • I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

    I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

    Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • Not all text messages and photos transferred from old to new iPhone

    Old iPhone 4 backed up via iTunes successfully.  Then plugged in new iPhone 5C, restored from the backup of the old iPhone 4.  Things seemed to be working okay, but for some reason I only have text messages that up to June 24, 2013.  Same thing with phone calls and photos.  All the records stop at 6/24.  The old phone definitely has more data on it, in photos, messages and phone calls. 
    Not sure.

  • Help!  Text Messages and Call History Deleted after Update

    My Galaxy S4 updated automatically this morning and my text message history and phone call history are gone.  Is there a way to restore this?  Very frustrated.

        aroth1188,
    I understand the importance of retrieving your text message history.  Did you have the Verizon Messaging application installed on the device?  This application may have your messages backed up for you to restore.  Please let us know if you still need further assistance.

  • Restoring old text messages vanished from BB protect

    Hi
    I need to restore some important old text messages that I had automatically backed up to BB Protect (set to back up weekly). I did not dleete the text messages and have been using BB Protect over the time that I want to use the messages from. Previously I could enter a date that I wanted to restore my messsages to when using BB protect. Now it no longer offers me that choice, just 3 recent dates in a list, the first about a month ago. I understand the backup should have been stored with RIM as well so can anyone advise how I can access them please? Incidently I have already tried accessing BB protect via my playbook but this does not allow me any further. The messages I want to access go from end July 2012 to end October 2012. Do I need to contact RIM directly?
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for your reply. What would have happened to the previous saved dates then? I understand the downlooads are stored at RIM. Surely I should be informed when the old backups are going to be deleted? Yes I can underrstand about making manual backups now, but there was no warning my backups on Blackberry protect would be deleted. That is what I understood blackberry protect was there for - to be able to restore from. The dates available now are only over the past few weeks yet I have been using blackberry protect for many months already. Hw could all my other backups just disappear? Thanks in advance

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • My iPhone 4S just replaced the names of my contacts in text messages and my favorites with only their phone numbers. Names are gone. The option to add new contacts also appears to be gone. I tried the *228 and it did not work. Help!

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
    How do I remove my photo from my text messages?  Android RazrM.
    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

    No, they probably got lost out there somewhere. They're gone.

  • Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

    can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?

    You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
    You can not selectively do this on the phone.

    Hi All, i recently done a back up and update & restore, but ive lost my notes, my text messages and my reminders and notes on the calender, i also have lost the data i had in an app which was very important to me. Please Please help me,  i,m total novice.
    I did this back up because i was instructed by my service provider. This was supposed to sort out my losing connection problem, which it didn't, it instead gave me a new problem. If there is anyone out there who can help me to retrieve my lost information i would appreciate it.
    Thank You in advance.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
