Are deleted iMessages for iPhone 4 recoverable?

I deleted a very important message. It was an iMessage and not a traditional text message. Is this recoverable? I'm willing to go to a data recovery service if that's necessary.

very unlikely.  The iPhone uses flash memory rather than magnetic storage like a computer's drive, making data recovery next to impossible.  You can contact a data recovery service and see what they say.  Expect to pay a LOT of money.

    How do I completely delete iMessage from my iphone?

    HI,
    As CT says Messages can receive Messages (IMs and iMessages)  from the accounts set up in it and those that are Enabled.
    You can go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and untick all the boxes or each account that reads "enable" this Account.
    You can go further and Sing Out on the iMessages account
    All the other except the Bonjour one you can highlight then use the minus Button at the bottom of the List to delete.
    Alternatively you can go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and deselect the Messages option against the IDs that are now listed in Messages.
    NOTE
    You cannot delete the Bonjour Option in Messages  (everyone gets this one) It can only be turned Off

  • What are the settings for iPhone, iPad and iMac to sync ical and contacts?

    How can I get all three items to sync? What are the settings on the iMac with Lion on board? I put all my stuff on iphone but iMac & iPad do not have the items synced even though I have everything on icloud?

    They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
    Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
    You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
    It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
    Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

  • Why are the chargers for iPhones breaking so easily in the same area all the time?

    Me & my family all have iphones. So in that being said we all have our own chargers. But every 4 to 7 months the front end of where the cable begins to break & tear. This isnt the first time it has happened. I think there should be a new design for the cabels in that certain area.

    Tell Apple:

    I have never had an issue with a cable nor has anyone that I persoanlly know.

  • What happens to files when they are deleted on the iPhone?

    When you delete files like videos, podcasts or emails directly on the iPhone by swiping it and hitting the "Delete" button what happens to these files? Are they instantly removed from disk or they go to some sort of "Recycle Bin"?
    Do you know that bar on iTunes showing how your iPhone disk is being used, with "Audio, Video, Photos, Apps, Other and Free"?
    I wonder if having more than 4Gb on the "Other" category is related to this practice in any way?

    Other includes data such as 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, email stored or cached locally including email attachments, Safari history, cookies, and cache, notes, voice memos, visual voicemail, contacts, calendar events, etc.

  • Imessage for iphone 4s

    My iphone 4s imessage cannot be activated. It slid to the right and showed green but the status kept saying: waiting for activation. What is wrong and how do I fix this? Thanks.

    It has my head scratching.....it works for message balloon, phone and facetime apps, I can text to anyones now not before but the imessage and facetime apps in setting show green (On) still say "Activation Unsuccessfull. Turn on imessage to try again". What's going on? I'm afraid of turning imessage button to off and on again to activate it, it may screw up and it never work again. I'm going to leave it alone. The olds said " it ain't broken don't fix it"....

  • How do I recover deleted texts for iPhone 4

    How do I recover deleted text messeges for an iphone4

    If those deleted texts are part of your last backup, then you would have to do a full restore from that backup.   That will overwrite any new information on your phone since that backup though.
    Otherwise, there is no recovery.

  • Tired and deleted playlist for iphone

    Hello! First, let me apologize for asking a stupid question with a simple answer, I am sure haha. I accidentally deleted my "Purchased on iPhone" playlist from iTunes and I can not figure out how to recreate it. I have re-synced my phone, and looked to see if I could recreate it as a smart playlist, but I can not, and I finally tried recreating my library, no luck. Any suggestions on how to get it back?
    Thanks!

    the first line of my question should read :   Using iTunes on my Mac I can deselect a track in a playlist so it doesn't play on that occasion without removing it from the playlist.

  • Are Categories / Folders for iPHONE Applications coming in next OS release?

    Does anyone know if Apple plans on including a function to add Categories or Folders to the iPHONE that allow the programs to be grouped. This makes so much nicer user of the phone being able to narrow down the search to the types of programs you want to start instead of remembering what page it is sitting on.

    Neuro is 100% correct - I doubt it will ever do what you want as it would completely alter the feel of the scrolling pages. You have 11 pages so sort the Apps out into the pages you want. I have;
    High Priority
    News
    Productivity
    Radio
    Travel
    Games
    Sports
    Junk
    Just sort yours out that way.

  • Emails deleted on iPhone also are deleted on Outlook 2010

    My boss has an older iPhone 3g that has been receiving pushed emails from an exchange server via forward to a Yahoo account and an iCloud account.  With the Yahoo/iCloud system he could deleted messages on the iPhone and they would remain in the Outlook 2003 inbox.  He is receiving a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook Professional 2010.  The iPhone and iTunes are configured for Active Sync on the new system.  With Outlook 2010 and Active Sync emails that are deleted on the iPhone are now deleted on Outlook 2010.  The Exchange Server is 2010 running on Windows SBS 2011.  All software programs (iPhone, iTunes, and Microsoft software) are up to date with current releases.  Is there a way to delete emails on the iPhone and have them remain in the Outlook 2010 inbox?
    Thank you, Louis 

    Thank you diesel, I will have to find another way to tell my boss.  Using the Yahoo account and iCloud method he could clear his iPhone of emails and know they would still be on his office computer.  I guess he has a choice to make.
    Thanks again, Louis

  • How to delete song on iPhone which can't be wiped?

    Hi there,
    after about one full day of fighting with iTunes Match (including full deletion of iCould Library by using an empty iTunes Library), I finally have a working iCloud Library with all my songs and artwork (tested in my iPhone 4S). Unfortunately, there is one single problem left which i can't solve.
    In one album, there is one single song (out of 9) which is shown twice on my iPhone. It's only shown once in my iTunes Library on the iMac.
    I can't delete the 2nd version of this song on my iPhone. It shows the cloud symbol and when i click it, it shows the download symbol but it actually doesn't download. It returns to the cloud symbol. The wipe function to delete this song is not available for this song. And the song doesn't play.
    All the other files in this album are fine. If i delete the whole album in my iTunes Library on my iMac and update iTunes Match, all songs are deleted from my iPhone except the one which I can't delete.
    It's obvious a corrupt song but how do i get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I am not familiar with a song being greyed out, but with a song that is appearing normally, you can swipe a finger over it from left to right. The red "Delete" button should appear. Just press it and the song should delete. The process is similar to deleting an email. Hope this works with your greyed out song.

  • Bex apps for Iphone available?

    Hi experts,
    I wonder if anyone knows if there are any apps for Iphone available, that can be used för executing BEX queries or web templates. Please note that I am NOT interested in apps for SAP Business Objects, as we do not have this application.
    BR,
    Niclas

    It works, but there's limitations from what I've seen.  Certain portal functions don't work well in general outside of internet explorer, and same goes for WAD objects.  I haven't seen any acknowledgement of what does and doesn't work, but it's worth playing around with.
    In our scenario, I can tell you that we can launch reports via an internal Google Site, pass credentials via single sign-on, and render web reports on the iphone.  Drop down menus don't work properly, color condisitons don't show up (same in Firefox), but lots of things do function properly.

  • OWA for Iphone and international calling card

    Hello,
    I work as the Supervisor for a company that has just purchased many iphones.  The group that is in charge of email at my company will only allow "OWA for Iphone" to be used because in this way, nothing is downloaded to the device.  All email, calendar entries and contacts/people entries are web based.  Because nothing is downloaded to the device, the Iphone app for any international calling card company like Reliance or True Roots will not work.
    When I say, "will not work" this is why.  All international calling card companies apps that I have found, access the local downloaded contacts on the Iphone itself.  I have not found any that can connect to the people in the  "OWA for Iphone" app to make international calls for cheeper prices.
    Is there an international calling card company whose app will work with "OWA for Iphone" and not the locally stored contacts?  Or one that I can make the choice, choose the contacts from the local Iphone and or people in the "OWA for Iphone" app?

    International calling apps allow you to call an entry from your contact list.  When you make a call from your device using this International calling app it will hang up, dial a 1 800 or 1866 number, then redial the international number you dialed and complete the call.  This allows you to call for example, India for $.06/minute instead of $.50/minute or what ever your provider charges you.  It basically make it so your international calls go through your international calling app provider instead of your phone provider.  You still use your phone provider minutes, but the cost is rerouted to your international calling provider/partner.
    1. I know, its so hard to do anything.  Yes all smartphones (Iphones, Androids, Windows, etc...)  The email admins will not allow anything to directly download to the device from the company.  The OWA for IPhone app uses the web browser but changes the view of the email to look and feel user friendly.  Basically, OWA for Iphone is using the web to look at all email, contacts, and calendar entries.
    2. The international calling app (Reliance and all others I have found including Skype) will only look at local downloaded contacts.  Because we are using OWA for Iphone there are no downloaded contacts. So, the international calling app does not see the contacts to be able to call.
    If I go into OWA for IPhone and go to People and call somebody internationally +44 XX XXX XXXXX it works fine, but the international calling app does not activate becasue the app can't see the number.  This is because its looking only at the local downloaded contacts list, not the contacts on the web using OWA for Iphone
