All my text messages were deleted

My phone has been working fine all day/morning. I go to use it and i get a text message that says 7645 from a five digit number. I close the message and then when I go to read my old text messages, all of them were gone. Wth? Are they gone forever? I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and no luck there.

Hi Kristin,
If you haven't already, try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
When you plugged the iPhone into the computer did you try restoring it from a backup?
You can right click the iPhone, on the left side of iTunes, and choose restore from backup as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
+"Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store."+ from the article linked above.

  • All Text Messages Were Deleted On Their Own & I Can't Do A Restore

    I have an iPhone4 and this morning I woke up and see that my laptop (windows) had been restarted due to updates. My phone was plugged in to the laptop because it was charging. I have a password on my laptop so once I put the password in, it is like turning it on and of course it starts charging my phone and itunes starts doing a sync. I did not know that my messages were deleted until I went to send someone a message and that is when I noticed all messages were gone except the ones that I just received this morning. I tried to do a restore but it said I couldn't do a restore because I didn't have enough space available(even after I deleted a bunch of stuff). Long store short, I been trying to fix this problem all morning and a few syncs have been done so I'm asking for help. Are my messages now gone for good? Is there anything I can do to retrieve them?
    Side Note:This may or may not mean anything but my phone has been running slow for the last 2 days.

    Hello clew1983,
    The following article details a few steps that can be taken in order to get through the restore process (although the article does indicate 'when trying to sync').

  • My phone powered off on it's own and when it came back up all me text messages were gone????

    Does anyone know how to recover messages?

    Were the messages received before or after your last backup/sync? If before, Restore the phone. If after, call the sender and ask them to re-send the message.

  • My iPhone randomly deleted all my text messages.

    Has anyone else ever had all their text messages randomly deleted?

    Me Too!! Its really frustrating and annoying..when i get a new message, it even separates into a different contact column..Lets say after i message my gf,when i get a reply i have two sections of my gf msg,one the one i sent and one the one she sent at the messages main menu. When i try to open the one i receive, the sms program shuts down itself back to iphone homepage menu!! When i reopen the sms program, all the messages is lost!! As if it has reboot itself!What more its happening very frequently...Almost every message i sent and receive!!

  • I updated my apple id and all my messages were deleted, and I cannot receive messages sent to my new apple id

    I just updated my apple id to match my primary email and when I logged into messages on my iPad with the new id, all my messages were deleted and I cannot receive new massages sent to my new id.  My iPhone which is still logged into my old apple id is receiving messages from both ids.

  • How do i delete all my text messages to speed up my phone

    How do I delete all  my text messages at one time  on my s4?

    That's a great way to clear up memory and speed things up, 357tony. What message app do you use with your S4? Is it Messaging, Message+, or one downloaded from the Play Store?

  • My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back?

    My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?

    It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.

  • My iPhone 4S deleted all my text messages  and it said u can retrieve them back if u do backup resort and I did and it completely wiped out all my messages and I just want my text messages and photos back

    Someone please help me get back my text messages from my boyfriend that have a lot meaning and my heart is shattered cuz I lost all those text messages.. Please help me get back my messages from him!!

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • IPhone 4 rebooted itself and deleted all my text messages??

    My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and rebooted and when it came back on every single text message was deleted. What would cause this?? I feel like it has been running slow and buggy lately. But have the latest software. Not sure what I can do??

    Did you fix it?  I tried to copy paste but was unable to.  Did you write "lost text" in the search?  I am going to insert the link I found.  Let me know how it works out.  VERY IMPORTANT...DO NOT SYNC YOUR PHONE!!!  RESTORE FROM BACK UP FIRST...ONCE YOU SYNC, YOU CAN NEVER RETRIEVE

  • My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact.  All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds.  Very frustrating.  Any help out there?

    My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine.  All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds.  Any help out there?

    As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
    Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
    Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
    It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

  • How to block all AIM text messages to cell phone

    Hi folks,
    I was woken up by an AIM text message (obviously spam) on my phone around 6:30am this morning. I received two more text spam between 6:30am and 7:15am until I put my phone into "Standalone mode" so I could go back to sleep. Each text message was from a different 6-digit phone number or 6-digit code, so blocking one number would not help. When I got out of bed and turned my phone back on, I was still receiving more AIM text messages (also obviously spam) to check out a certain URL.
    I have an older prepaid plan. So when I log into My Verizon and look for the spam controls, I don't have any.
    I found a way to turn off ALL AIM text messages. I found this site:
    http://www.aim.com/products/txt#im-to-mobile
    Under
    Manage Your Mobile Privacy
    It has a link called:
    Block texts if you are not an AIM user
    http://www.aim.com/products/txt#block-txt
    You enter your cell phone number into this page, you get a confirmation number via text message on your cell phone, you enter this 4-digit confirmation number (located at the end of the text message) into this web page, and click "Disable Messages". It says:
    Pressing this button will disable all text messages coming from AOL® and AIM® Services to your phone.
    Once you click that button, a little pop-up window will appear that says:
    The page at aolmobile.aol.com says:
    SMS to your device successfully blocked.
    with an OK button.
    I hope it works! It looks like it will work for all cell phones, not just Verizon. So far my phone has been quiet for the past hour and 15 minutes, I am not getting any more AIM text messages....

    There is no know issue like this; have you installed any Preware apps? Have you tried restarting your device from Device Info, Reset Options, and Restart? I would try this first; but you may have to go the next step and Erase Apps & Data. This would delete all PIM data and apps off you device, and then you would have to reload from your backup data. This however will also delete all text messages on the device, and there is no way to restore them. The last step would be to run webOS doctor on the device to restore or repair the operating system. You can get this application from www.palm.com/rom, enter your serial number and follow the steps on this web page.

  • How can I find my iCloud folder with all my text messages in???

    I need to get all my text messages back but don't know where to find them..... Please somebody help

    Text messages are only in icloud as part of a backup.  Do you have backups to icloud turned on?  Same question for iTunes, do you have recent backups?
    You can only get lost/delete text messages by performing a restore from a backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

  • Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

    Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

    Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??
