After backup...newer text messages are gone. why?

I have a complicated problem. I had an iphone 5. It was a prepaid number. I dropped it and the screen was black. I plugged it up and recharged it...tried to reset it and still just black screen. I could hear the alerts and it would ring but I couldn't answer it. I had backed it up about a month ago. Well my father got me a new iphone 6 and added me to his verizon plan. They gave me a new number but when I put in my apple id and password, my contacts showed up and a couple of pictures. Well today, I hooked up my new phone to my laptop and it loaded all the stuff...photos, texts,wallpaper...to my new phone. But my problem is that I had some new text messages just from this past week of using my new phone and now they are gone. I had some texts from my son who just went to boot camp a couple weeks ago that I really want back....is there anyway I can get those? Why did they go away? Is there anything I can do? Thanks for any help.

I hate my iphone at this moment. I don't even remember it asking me to restore...it just ***** right now...but thanks for the answer. He had just sent me his address. I'll have to get it from some one. But I really would like to have our conversations also.

  • After updating to iOS7 my text messages are gone. How can I fix this?

    After updating to iOS7 and restoring my phone from backup, my text messages are still gone. How can I fix this?  Right before I updated to iOS7 I backed up my phone.  After the update was complete, my phone had none of my information on it so I restored it from back up which says "Restoring from backup will not change the firmware, but will restore pictures, contacts, calendars, text messages, etc."  So I am confused as to why it isn't working.  I tried twice and everything came back except text messages.  This isn't the first time I've had this happen after updating my phone but I'm tired of dealing with this issue.  Can anyone tell me how to get my text messages back or what I did wrong?

    Have you also asked in the Adobe forums?  To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • HT4623 My contacts and text messages are all gone when I updated my 3GS?

    I updated my iphone this afternoon and my Contacts and text Messages are gone.  Why??? I thought they are automatically put in ICloud?  I updated my ipad also two days ago so those should be in that storage.  Thank you

  • I have a new 5s - my text messages are coming through on my I-pad but not my new phone - why?

    My 5s developed a fault so Apple gave me a new phone - backed it up with I-cloud but now my text messages are only coming through on my I-pad not my phone and can't work out why?

        chellen,
    We want to provide you all the answers that you need. Verizon Messaging is a great application that we offer. When you logged into the website for the messages did you sign out when you were done? If not it still may assume you are online and wanting to receive messages.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • Deleted messages are gone after 2 weeks!

    After I delete my message, it goes to the trash. I have changed the preference to go to the new folder and not automatically delete the messages after 30 days, but they are not working. My messages are gone after 2 weeks and not in any folder. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you checked the settings and preferences on all your devices that sync your mail, if your mail is set to be removed after two weeks on any device, then that action will be synced across all of them.

  • When text messages are deleted are they gone for good?

    My daughter accidentally deleted messages that I need for court. Is there any way to retrieve them after she cleared my conversation ?

    The only way to possibly retreive them would be a restore from backup created after the messages were received but prior to them being deleted.
    If you do not regularly sync and backup the device, they are gone.

  • I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

    My phone was recently updated to 8.1.  After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on.  Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

  • HT3529 New 7.0 version update changes the way text messages are presented.  In the new version, I cannot figure out how to delete individual texts.  I can delete entire strings of messages, but I want to delete old texts, but keep the recent texts

    The new version of the software for my iPhone 4 changed the way text messages are managed. 
    I can no longer delete individual texts from a text "conversation."  I also have not figured out how to forward texts, which I was able to do in the prior version.
    Anyone know a way to edit out individual messages without losing the entire string?
    Anyone know if there is a way to forward messages?

    When you have the conversation open, if you tap & hold on a message bubble, you should get a new menu pop-up.  It should have 2 options "Copy" and "More..."  If you select the "More..." option it will then let you select one or more message bubbles and delete the selected ones by hitting the trach can icon in the lower left corner.  As for forwarding, you probably just select the "Copy" option, then paste the contents into a new message...

  • Why doesn't my iPhone notify me when I have a new text message?

    My iPhone 4S doesn't notify me when I get a new text message or iMessage. The phone is not in silent and the volume of the phone is at 10. I keep my phone near me all the time, I can hear the phone ring if it rings. Usually when I text someone, I send the message and immediately lock the phone after. After about 15 minutes wondering if that person replied, I open my phone and find that I have a new message, the phone didn't ring or light up saying I have a new message. The people I text get mad because I never reply, but the truth is, my phone doesn't notify with a new message.
    Sometimes I send a text, press the home button, and then lock my phone. Even when I do that, my phone doesn't notify me. What wrong with my phone? How do I fix this?

    I never drain my battery 100% unless I have no other choice. Such a deep battery discharge is not good for the battery and should not be done often.
    No, the phone cannot "drain the battery 100%,"  The shutdown cutoff is way above battery depletion and is designed not to damage the battery when done occasionally (though doing so repetitively over a long period may shorten battery life span).
    Draining the battery to cut off keeps the meter calibrated and Apple recommends doing so monthly.  Also, a small memory effect has recently been documented for Li-ion batteries and this will help prevent it.

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

    I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • Why do deleted contacts still show when starting new text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4s.  I've deleted many contacts but if I start a new text message that begins with the letter of someones contact I deleted, they show up.  How can this history be deleted?  I have a friend with an iPhone 5 and this does not happen on that model.

    just thought you like to know having apple do a hard reset to my phone didn't fix the problem I still have the deleted contact show up when I text anyone who has the same letters in their name.  Infact the apple store employees and phone operators told me I completely stumped them and they have no idea how to fix this since that contact does not show up anywere else and a hard reset also failed.  they said that eventually maybe my phone will fix itself with one of there upgrades but if I should figure out how to fix it on my own to please let them know how I did it.

  • Why is contact name now appearing with New Text Message notification?

    How do I get the contact name to not appear when I'm notified I have a new text? It used to just say something like "New Text Message." This is happening when my phone is locked.

    This was part of the new 2.2 update. There is no setting to turn this off.
