Do I need to get a subpoena to obtain copies of older text messages?

I need records of some text messages for a civil suit that aren't recent. Does Verizon require a court subpoena to get these records?

Yes, you'll need a court order, and Verizon only has roughly the past 10 days' worth of texts.

How do I get to the start of a really long text message conversation without scrolling through them all? Thanks

Hi. How do I get to the start of a really long text message conversation without having to scroll through and load earlier messages repeatedly? Thanks

click on the top of the screen (the top bar/clock sectionish). Hope i helped

Any way to get email notification to react the same as text message?

In other words, if the phone is in sleep it lights up and alerts you to a text message, but does not light up when you get an email note.

In a word, no.

I can't get the Copy Chat function to work in Text Messages

I have used the copy chat function before to copy complete chat history in text messages and then paste into a Docs To Go document. As the conversation gets longer, the process seemed to slow down, but it always worked. Now I am finding that it doesn't work at all. I use this to save conversation histories in the same way as I save email conversations.
Solved!

You probably received a one week follow up email encouraging you to mark the thread as resolved if it has been resolved... just to help others as marking thread resolved, etc., helps the search for others. If it has not been resolved, don't mark it as such.
I don't know what the copy limit is within text message threads, but apparently there is one, as we've both noted.
I know this, if you never delete a very lengthy SMS thread, one with lots of chat, it can slow down your SMS and make it appear laggy, especially as you continue to chat with that friend, from time to time, as you open that chat each time.
Personally, from time to time, I will clear lengthy SMS chat with my 4-5 closest friends/family with whom my longer chats occur.
If you want to save those, there are BlackBerry apps which do that, export the chat history, here are three, and there are others:
SMS Backup By Epic Windmill
SMS Backup By Bean-IV
Sms Backup Manager By Alexander N. Soudarikov
I will be glad to ask around about the copy limits, if it is important to you. I don't know who, when copying text from an SMS you're going to be able to measure an amount to copy, i.e., how you're going to know when you've reached the limit of say, 1084 characters (if that were the limit).

How do I get a picture of a contact on my text messaging home screen? So there picture comes up next to the text message on the main screen where you can see all of your texts, if anyone knows what I mean

Picture of contact on side of text messaging view.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

How do I get rid of the +1 prefix in sms text on incoming text

how do i get rid of the +1 prefix on incoming text messages so that senders name can appear from my address book

Have the person who is sending the text contact their carrier and see if it can be removed.

IPhone has just randomly erased all of my texts messages,can I get them back?Ask your question.

iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?

You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message.

Need Help ASAP!!! So FRUSTRATING!!! text message problems!!!

I have 2 problems right now with my BB Torch 9810. I need help ASAP.
1. It only saves 20 text messages. Messages that I received from august 2012. But it seems other messages are not stored. I don't delete messages, so I don't know where my other messages go. And sometimes if you create a new text, text history will show. But not anymore. This have been going on for a long time.
2. When I receive text message from some of my contacts, it will show the first few words of the text. But when you click on it, the message is empty. funny thing is, not all of my contacts are like this.

Hey iragarcia,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest performing the following to resolve the issue:
1. Create a backup of all your data by using BlackBerry Desktop Software. In BlackBerry Desktop Software go to Device>Backup and save the file onto your PC or Mac.
2. On the BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone go to Options>Security>Security Wipe and put a checkmark beside 3rd party applications as well. Type in the word BlackBerry and press wipe data.
Please Note: You can re-install your applications through BlackBerry World.
3. Once completed test sending and receiving some SMS messages prior to restoring any data. If the issue is resolved, then go into BlackBerry Desktop Software and go to Device>Restore and choose custom and only choose contacts.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Does text messages get stored to the iCloud?, Does text messages get stored to the iCloud?

When documents and data get stored to iCloud does that consist of text messages being stored on iCloud? Because I was wondering why my iCloud storage is almost full. Please help thanks!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Messages are not part of iCloud documents and data.
You can see what is in iCloud from settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage....

I need to get a list of sites I've visited from my home desktop computer while in private browser mode. I need all sites from 2011 & 2012

I need to get records of websites I visited for 2011 & 2012 while private browsing on Mozilla firefox. The info page said although this info would not be recorded onto my computer there would be records of these websites through the Internet provider. How do I obtain these records?

Your ISP's systems keep a running record of all requests and responses through your internet connection. How long these are preserved will vary. Please note, however, that these records might not be available to you even though you are their customer; they might limit access to law enforcement or other requests accompanied by a subpoena. You could contact your service provider and see what they are willing to do for you.
Note: Your ISP would have no idea which requests were made in regular browsing mode versus private browsing mode because it looks identical from where they are. You would have to figure that out for yourself.

Need to get a new printer.

My PSC 2210 is really acting up and I need to get a new HP. Is there an "all in one" that does a decent job with color slides? I really don't want to buy two units and will only have to copy the slides one time then I will be done. A fax is not mandatory but will use it if there is an "all in one" that will do the slides. My printing needs are simple, personal black and white letter, some color, copy letters and some photos. The PSC 2210 filled all my needs except for not being able to do the slides.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

By color slides do you mean you want to scan 35mm slides or that you want to print overhead transparencies? Scanning 35mm slides requires a backlight adapter, referred to by HP as a Transparency Media Adapter (TMA). As listed here this feature does not seem to be offered on the recent HP all-in-one units, it is available in some specialized photo scanners.
