Can I restore a deleted text conversation without having to restore my whole phone to that date? I backup using iCloud

I deleted a text converstaion on my iPhone5 and would like to retrieve it. Can this be done without restoring the phone and losing current messages?

Other people have already answered this sufficiently a couple times.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing.
You can not pick apart a backup.
There are programs that can do that for itunes but not for icloud.
So if you have an icloud from when the conversatiion was still on device then you can restore from that backup
(it will be a total restore, all or nothing)
However if you do not have a backup from then or are not willing to restore everything that conversation is gone.

    how can I retrieve a deleted text conversation on iphone 4s which was not backed up. It was deleted by accident. Is there anyway I can do this?

    I would contact your phone provider. The only way that you can recover text messages is by a count ordered subpoena.

  • Can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back

    can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back...help taking up a lot of space.

    Try this...
    Close out all apps (double click the home button and swipe up) then delete one thread.  Do a hard reset of the phone or ipad, then wait a few minutes and it should be gone.  I just did this with a thread that had thousands of txt and it worked for me.  The older phones just don't have much processing power.

  • Retrieving mistakeny deleted text conversation on iPhone.

    Has anyone ever figured out how to retrieve a deleted text conversation?
    My iPhone has a terrible habit of offering to delete a text conversation when I'm about to put it away after texting. Usually pushing cancel option eradicates the issue. However, today when I pushed cancel it decided to delete the conversation anyway.
    I understand that the delete is a soft one and that the information is stored in a delete file on the phone - is this still the case? If so, how do I retrieve the deleted conversation?
    Many Thanks.

    When an SMS conversation is deleted, it is deleted.
    SMS messages are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated if needed as the first step during the iTunes sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with the backup has changed since the last sync.
    You can restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, but only the SMS messages included with the most recent backup will be restored.

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.
