Exporting texts/SMSs from "Messages" on iPhone

I am looking to export a long list of messages from my iPhone to my computer to be saved for later viewing. I am wondering if anyone know how, or has had any experience of successfully doing so. Any pointers, or even just how to do it would be great!

We use the decipher text message software at our small law firm since we are required to save (and print out) sms chats with our clients. Meanwhile, I never knew "option key" + go menu would make that hidden library show up!

  • Error exporting XIM file from message mapping

    Hi.
    We are trying to export XIM files from message mapping with CTRL + SHIFT + 0 but is not working. Iu2019ve tried to solve it with this link:
    [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967893]
    but is still not working.
    We are with SAP PI 7.11 SP 07. Is there any SP level prerequisite to be able to export message mappings in xim files?
    Thanks a lot.

    I think you can't use 1.4 in SAP PI 7.1.
    I've downlaned the JDK 5 and I've associated it to enviroment variables PATH and JAVA_PATH but the application is still opening with JAVA 6.....
    Any idea?
    Regards.

  • IOS messages strips URL content from linked text sent from Messages Beta

    My guess is that this is an unexpected edge case in the iOS version of Messages, where pre-Messages beta it didn't have to worry about link embedded in text. But when I copy a URL from an application such as Reeder or drag and drop a URL from the Safari URL field into Messages in pastes in with underlined text of the title of the page the link is for, with the embeded link. When this link is recieved on iOS devices just the text of the page title is recieved, rendered without the embeded link. Which let me tell you left my wife wondering what I was trying to say to her more than once. Maybe this will is already resolved in a version of Messages yet to be released for iOS devices. 

    Ralph, yes, I am not denying if you highlight the url and copy and paste it into the text field in messages, you definitely get the full url, and iOS handles this case properly as it recognizes the URL.
    But if you click and hold on the favicon and drag away you get Blue text underlined like it was a clickable link, which it is. I did verify Firefox behaves the same way if you drag from the favicon.
    If you send the link like that (embeded url) and the reciever is Messages beta on another Mac, or over AIM, likely Gtalk (jabber) as well it is handled properly as a clickable link. If the reciver is on an iOS device, iOS does not handle this properly and strips the embeded url in the link.
    Below are images that illustrate
    Underlined in Red is the ghosted grab from the favicon, built in screen capture unable to grab my mouse pointer but it ends up over "messages" in the ghosted title with the green "+" indicator.
    Apologize for the size of this one, but that dragged URL dropped in a new message.
    How this message shows up on iOS devices.
    I know the workaround of copy and pasting the highlighted URL from the Safari URL field, but not all apps have this option, as I indicated Reeder for one when you are viewing an article there is a toolpar item to access several options for the article, one of them being copy URL - this must use the same method as Dragging and dropping from the Safari faviocn. Also many links that you bring up the contextual menu on in Safari and copy url end up pasting as embeded url links (Firefox does not do this). The workaround extends the workflow to open the article from a news feed in a browser, or click and load a link in Safari before the URL is exposed in the URL field before copy and pasting the url into messages, not very user friendly.
    I hope this helps clarify the case.

  • Exporting text only from specific paragraph style

    Hi,
    Is there a way to export text from Indesign to txt or preferably Excel from specific paragraph style ? I am trying to export only item numbers and prices to excel spread sheet so I can compare against original excel spreadsheet.
    Thank you !

    Not built in, no. But you could do this:
    Create a new paragraph style called "Delete Me". In the paragraph styles
    palette, select all the paragraph styles you're NOT interested in.
    Delete them in one go, and replace them with "Delete Me."
    Now, in the find/replace box, search for "Delete Me" and replace with
    nothing. This will cause all the paragraphs that have the "Delete Me"
    style to be deleted.
    Now what remains in your document is only the text that you're
    interested in.

  • HT3529 Links removed from messages to iPhone

    I dragged and dropped a URL from Safari (MAC) to Messages (MAC) and sent it to a friend (iPhone).
    My Messages(MAC) showed the link, and I could click on the link and the website would pop-up in Safari.  (as expected).
    However, my friend's iPhone did not see it as a link... just the title of the web page, so clicking on the title didn't take you to that web page.
    Very odd.  In Messages, you can see what you sent, I I see it as a link on my Apple Mac Messages.
    But my friend receives that same message in Apple iPhone Messages as just a title (not a link).
    Why would the link not show up on the iPhone?
    Why would Messages on iPhone behave so differently than Messages on OS X?
    For the record, my friend's phone is a 5S, with the latest firmware.

        for the       Points.
    For Others.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls the function between iOS devices and Macs using the same Apple ID and Linked iPhone numbers is "Display on All Devices" and not anything more.
    This means if you delete it in one place it is not deleted elsewhere.
    And as the original Poster has found it it does not "sync back" any Conversations you delete.
    I have sent iPhone iMessages on a Friday evening and then started my Mac on a Sunday evening and Messages has "caught up" the conversation.
    I presume that it might do Friday to Monday (or any 3 days) although I have not tested this.

  • Can't text photos from camera roll (iPhone 5, new ios)

    I go to photos, select a photo, select the button in the bottom left hand corner, select message, type in a contacts name, hit send - AND NOTHING.  It's like I'm not hitting send at all.  Then it goes back to camera roll.
    Anyone...?

    ohhhh yes, I have been looking for someone with this problem. This has haunted me since iOS 7 and Iphone 5. This carried through to my new iphone 5S. of course all apple tells me to do, is SIMPLE, just erase the phone erase all settings and dont restore from an older version. OH, ok apple that sounds so SIMPLE instead of apple just FIXING the problem ill spend a whole day starting from scratch on my phone back to factory setting and then it STILL doesn't work. Got to love apple!!
    This does the same thing when trying to share anything  via text message from within other apps like Maps also. BUT! we are on 7.2.2 NOW and guess what! Its still NOT fixed!! YAY apple!!
    After I restart my phone it does work for like 3 days and then it stops.  I know when it has reverted back to not working because if you notice, when you share within photo album or Maps and you select the persons name to send, it stalls and takes like 5 seconds to load the previous messages from the conversation.. right away I know that I am going to have to CUT and PASTE into the messaging app manually to get it to send. SUCH A PAIN APPLE!!! FIX PLEASE

  • Exporting Text data from PHP to Oracle CLOB data (Carriage return - issue)

    This is my original text content in PHP - Data type - Longtext
    SECTION - 1
    This a test description.This a test description.
    This a test description.This a test description.
    This a test description. This a test description.I exported the above content from PHP as a SQL script file (insert into.. ) - export.sql [ insert into table_name (id, text_content) values (1, '') ]
    while exporting data from PHP table into export file.. it replaced the "Carriage return" with "\r\n\r\n" in the insert statement for text_content column
    When I run this INSERT statement in Oracle (for longtext, I have created a CLOB column in Oracle), the following text_content data is inserted into CLOB column in Oracle.
    SECTION - 2
    This a test description.This a test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a
    test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a test description.Now I have created a item named P1_TEXT_CONTENT of type TEXTAREA and try to fetch the CLOB data into this page item.
    BUT textarea displays the entire content including "\r\n\r\n" as mentioned in SECTION - 2
    I want to display the content in textarea (item - P1_TEXT_CONTENT) without "\r\n\r\n" same as the original content with "Carriage return" as mentioned in SECTION - 1
    What are the options we have?
    Thanks,

    What are the options we have?Run an update on the Oracle table following the inserts to replace the escaped CR/LFs with real ones:
    update foo
    set clob_column = replace(clob_column, '\r\n', chr(13) || chr(10));You might want to experiment to see which characters are actually necessary. As an OS X/Linux user I'd probably just use a single LF chr(10).

  • Exporting text.doc from an InDesign file

    Hello,
    I have about 400 pages, each with one textframe that is linked throughout all 400 pages. Each page also has a separate 'header' textframe that isn't linked. I need to export just the text from both of these textframes, but the headers need to somehow be "inserted" between each linked textframe on each page.
    I can easily copy/paste the entire linked textframe, it's getting the headers in there too that is the issue. Make sense?

    Hi,
    I think this is a good job for a script.
    I.e. like this:
    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    myTextArr = new Array();
    var myTextStory = currHead = currText = "";
    for (k=0; k<myDoc.pages.length;k++) {
        currHead = currText = "";
        for (f = 0; f<myDoc.pages[k].textFrames.length; f++)
            switch (isLinked( myDoc.pages[k].textFrames[f] ) ) {
                case true: {currText = myDoc.pages[k].textFrames[f].contents; break;}
                case false: {currHead = myDoc.pages[k].textFrames[f].contents; break;}
                default: {currHead = currText = ""; break;}
        if(currHead!=="") myTextArr.push(currHead);
        if(currText!=="") myTextArr.push(currText);
    myTextStory = myTextArr.join("\r");
    myFolder = "~/Desktop"               // You can edit this
    ExportFile = new File(myFolder + "/" + "InDesign_Export.txt");          // You can edit this
    ExportFile.open("w",undefined, undefined);
    ExportFile.write(myTextStory);
    ExportFile.close();
    function isLinked(myTF){
        if(!myTF.isValid) return -1;
        if(myTF.startTextFrame == myTF.endTextFrame) return false;
        else return true;
    It should be saved as .jsx file and placed in your Script Panel folder.
    To run - double click in InDesign script panel.
    hope...

  • Best way to view Text files from Mac on iPhone 4?

    What is the Best way to view Text files (loaded) from my Mac onto my iPhone 4?
    Will any of the "readers" (e.g. Kindle, Kobo) allow me to put my own text files onto my iPhone and read them easily?
    Thanks

    I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes.  I dislike the file sharing through iTunes.   You can use a Mac or PC.  Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer."  It will show this --
    "WiFi status: ON
    Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
    1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
    2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
    All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
    It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options.  You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file.  It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
    You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url.  I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does.  I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
    If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

  • How to message an iPhone from Moutain Lion?

    The problem is, my address book (Contacts) entries have mutilple phone numbers and email addresses. So when I just type a persons name in Messages, there is a list of phone numbers and email addresses and on the right it says "imessage." There are also some that say AIM instead. Alas, none of those labled imessage seem to work.
    So how do I message an iphone? it should be easy.

    What do you mean by "available?" Surely I can send a message any time I want and they will recieve it when their phone goes on line.
    Yes, if the person has an iphone and they are out of range or something, the bubble will be white. You can still send.
    You can only message people who have an itunes account though, as imessage actually uses the ID email address of the iTunes account (Apple is supposedly tying the email address to peoples phone numbers, but I don't think it is done yet). So people who don't have an iTunes account but have an iPhone, when you put in their name it will show as red instead of blue.
    As to how to bring up the bubbles, I had forgotten but I just found an iphone user in my contacts that I have not sent a text too from Messages on the computer, and the blue bubbles just came up by themselves.

  • How do I move text files from my desktop to my iPod Touch?

    How do I transfer (export) text files from my Mac (word processor files) to the Notes app on my iPod?

    Just be aware that if you delete or don't move profiles that are currently assigned to images LR will (without warning) reassign those images with the Adobe Standard profile.
    You can use AnyFilter, Data Explorer, or DevMeta plugins to determine if any images are assigned to a profile you want to delete. You can then reassign the profile of your choice. Once that's completed you can safely delete the camera profile.

    Hello to all. I been looking around to try to find a "topic" associated with "group messaging" but no luck. My questions is does iPhone have "Group Messaging". So I can send 1 message to about 4 different people in my contact list? I know you can do it with e-mails with the "BCC" option. But what about TEXT?
