Can iphone 3gs synchronize sms messages to a computer?

a friend of mine insisted that over 1600 sms messages in her 3gs iphone was copied by someone when she downloaded pics from her iphone to that person's computer. she said the whole transfer took less than 10 seconds, both pics and messages, and was done during one single synchronization.
i use an original iphone on a pc notebook, so i have no idea if a 3gs iphone can synchronize that fast to a macbook. frankly speaking, i don't even know of such a feature where sms messages would be downloaded automatically. can someone please enlighten me if this is possible, or if my friend was pulling my legs. thanks.

Well, pictures can be imported if they are in the camera roll to someone's computer, however SMS can only be copied with some third party software. I've never used it, however, so I couldn't tell you anything about speed. I cannot see it being done in 10 seconds, unless that was just for a picture or two, and even that would take more than 10 seconds.

    Use iTunes to backup files from your old ipod first then transfer to the new iPod. Please
    follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device.   By the way, if you don't have the iTunes, you can use this iPhone transfer program. It help you to transfer sms and contacts from iPhone.
    Hope it helps.

    How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Sometimes it takes longer than two minutes to get answer. Additionally, it's a support forum for Apple products, not Skype. You might get lucky and get an answer, you might not. While you're waiting, why don't you try Skype support?

  • My iPhone 3GS displayed a message that it was overheated, now it wont turn on except for the Apple logo, and iTunes doesn't recognize it!

    My iPhone 3GS displayed a message saying it was over heating and to turn it off.
    I turned it off and the next day that I turned it back on, it wont go passed the main Apple screen.
    It had a message to re-connect to iTunes, then that the IMEI and SIM were unknown.
    Now it wont turn on at all!!

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.

  • Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer

    I have a BB 8830 World Edition.  Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer.  If so, how?  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
    Connect your device to the PC.
    Run the  Blackberry Desktop Manager
    Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
    Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
    When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
    Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
    For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
    Try to find third-party applications for that purpose.

  • Why can't my sister in laws iPhone 4s send my iPhone 4s an SMS message???

    Since she got her iPad now I'm not receiving any SMS messages from her iPhone to my iPhone all texts come from her apple ID email address as iMessages only. Her send as SMS when iMessages aren't available is turned on.  So what to do? She does however receive my SMS and always my iMessages.

    Have you tried a hard reset (holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears)? If so, and if you're still having issues, have you tried to restore through iTunes as a backup? If so, and if you're still having problems, have you tried restoring through iTunes as a new device?

  • How can I send an SMS message to a group?

    I cannot seem to figure out how to add a second recipient to the SMS message. I routinely beep out messages to the 5 people I work with, I'd hate to send it out to each separately.

    At this time, multiple recipient SMS messaging is not supported on the iPhone.

  • Can iPhone 3GS support an external (dual) monitor?

    Hey there,
    I just got the iPhone 3GS. Is there any way to hookup my iPhone to an external monitor or TV? I know that I could purchase AV cables that could allow me to view movies and pictures, but it wasn't clear whether I could use it for other applications.
    Basically I don't have home internet, and if I could use the internet on my iPhone to display on my TV monitor, that'd be very helpful.
    Thanks for your input!

    I wish I had known that when I bought the Component Cables. I am giving a presentation on several iPhone applications and need to project it onto an overhead projector. I wrongfully assumed that by using the component cable I should be able to output the video to another viewing device which after hours of testing found out only works for iPod and YouTube applications.
    How do I turn ON the video output for ALL applications so I can project what I am doing? Is there an App in the App Store that can share the desktop and apps on an external application (i.e. turns on the video output to external devices?)

  • Can I get my SMS messages back?!?

    I bought the new iphone 5s 3 days ago.  Unfortunately, I did not connect it to my computer until today.  I've been using the new iphone 5s the last 3 days for sms, email, etc.  When I connected it to my computer today I restored all the data and files from my previous iphone 4 to the new iphone 5s.  I lost all those sms messages from the last 3 days.  Is there any way to get them back?  Please help because i had an important conversation from 2 days ago that I really need to retrieve! 
    Thank you!!

    sorry no, as you restored your phone from an old backup.
    only way if by chance you did a backup of your recent data.
