Saving text messages and pictures when resetting

I want to reset my iPhone to factory default because one of my buddies jailbroke it and I hate the jailbroken version. It's slow and annoying. Is there a way for me to save all of my text messages and pictures, reset the phone to factory default, and then put all the texts and pictures back on?

You can import the photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll as with any other digital camera and then transfer the photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process as with any other photos on your computer's hard drive that you want available on your iPhone for viewing.

The same does not apply to text messages. The only way to transfer text messages back to an iPhone restored with iTunes is to restore from the iPhone's backup, and you can't select which data that is included with the iPhone's backup that is transferred to the iPhone. It is all or none with the iPhone's backup.
There are 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting messages from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer.

  • I am having a hard time sending text messages and picture mail even thought I have good signal

    I am having a hard time getting my phone to send text messages and pictures sometimes even thought I have a good signal. If someone could tell me if they have had this problem and how they resolved it I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    When I text anyone who don't use Apple devices I have to resend the message two or three times it goes through. I have an iPhone 5c running on iOS 8.0.2 if that helps figure anything out. Thank you.
    SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.
    Best of luck.

  • I am not receiving text messages and sometimes when I send texts it does not go through

    Hi,
    My phone is not receiving text messages and depending on where I am it also does not send, it gives me a message failure. Then if I send it as a text message instead of imessage it will go.
    Any ideas how to fix it?

    contact your wireless provider.  txt messages is their service.

  • My phone won't send outgoing mail.  Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load.  Help!

    These are ongoing problems.  I really want to go back to my android.  This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail.  I have done a restart.  I have cleared my cookies.  Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones.  When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet.  Very disappointed in this phone. 

    if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
    in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

  • My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset   sim

    Hi,
    i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
    The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
    I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

    My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
    Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

  • How can i see my childs text messages and picture messages?

    im trying to find away to see all messages on my childs phone anybody know how?

        Hello brendagail,
    Thank you for posting in our community! I know the importance of knowing your options for viewing text message content. Our children have phones and communicate primarily via text.
    As SydneyK and budone advised, due to privacy laws, text message content is not available to view online. You are able to view text message times, dates, and the to/from numbers  by signing into your My Verizon Account using the steps that AZSALUKI provided. 
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Can't receive long (2part) text messages and Picture messages say they were sent be they aren't

    I can't receive long (2 part) text messages, I only receive the first part or the second part but never the entire text. Also my picture messaging is unpredictable, sometimes I can send them sometimes I can't, it always tells me they were sent but the receiver doesn't always get them. Do I have to change something in my settings to fix these problems?
    Thanks
    Amy

    My phone has also stopped receiving long texts, (2 part messages). It has now started to receive only part 2. If you find a way to resolve this i would like to know too. Thanks shan

    You don't.  so hopefully you've been keeping regular backups.

  • I am a bit ignorant when it comes to my iphone 4. Can somone help me delete saved text messages? I have tried to delete them one by one in my messages, but it still says that I have 2.3 saved messages. I just want to free up space  on my phone.

    Dearest Ones in the Apple Tech World,
    I need to free up space in my storage, and I can do that if I can figure out how to delete my saved text messages. Anyone out there know how in the world I can accomplish this?
    I have tried to delete them one by one, but it still says that I have 2.3 GB of saved messages!
    I am not the saviest when it comes to operating this phone. Any help would be appreciated!
    THANKS SO MUCH!

    There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
    In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts,  tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

  • Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • HT5622 I lost my phone in Regina, Saskatchewan and had my same number to my new phone I purchased in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. All my contacts, text messages, and a few pictures and videos automatically transferred to my new phone how get latest pics

    My phone number is same as phone that was lost. When the rep from Bell in Moose Jaw, sask all my contacts, text messages, and only some of my pictures and videos came through but, not all of them, it loaded my oldest pictures and videos. I want the latest pictures and videos, how do I do that? I also purchased 15 GB Icloud storage, when I go into the "Manage Storage" at the bottom of screen it says 12.1 GB available of 15.0 GB on icloud the processing bar has only moved slightly and just stays that way. What do I do to get all my pictures and videos?
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    On your iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is switched on.
    iCloud does not store videos. Images only.

  • HT4623 My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message.

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.
