Help, I need to get back lost text messages??

My phone broke in Jan, it froze and would not allow me to do anything with it. I wasn't thinking at the time about all my data because I knew the phone backed everything up. Also I had a certain amount of messages saved to phone. Since they sent me a new phone, I was able to retrieve all of my pictures, I was not able to get those text messages. I really need them. Does Verizon hold on to messages for a certain amount of time for legal reasons? Any help would be great, thank you Lisa .

lmsizemore,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone, I know how hard it is to know messages have been lost since I keep most of mine. I'm glad you now have a replacement and pictures restored. Unless you had an appliation to backup your messages, the messages can't be restored. You can access your messaging history(date, time, number) from My Verizon, but no content is available.

How can i get back deleted text messages, my phone has been bcakup after i knew the messages had gone, please help these messages are very important to me. anu help would be great many thanks

i have a iphone 4s

Are you on iOS 7? Because if so I too had the same problem. What I did was go into my messages and I went to create a new message. Then in the field that says "To", type the person/contacts name and then go into the message box. After that all of your deleted messages should reappear.

I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
Backing up is good.

I had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone. I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it. Help.

Well of course you won't have iWeb on a new MacBook from this year. iWeb has not shipped on new Macs for a long time now and Apple has not sold iLife through its stores or online for over a year and does not support iWeb any longer.
If you want iWeb now, you will either need to purchase a new copy of iLife or try and find the old install discs from your old Mac and re-install iWeb from that disc. It also depends on what iWeb version you were using too - iWeb 08 or 09? If 08, then this is not compatible with Mavericks which will be running on a new Mac, so you'll need iWeb 09 for this. If you can find your old install discs and they are iWeb 09 then go ahead and use these, but if not, you will have to purchase the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set from Amazon and both of these contain iWeb 09 and you can then install it.
Also, when you set up your new Mac, did you migrate info over? If you had built a website on your old Mac, then you need to data file where all iWeb info is stored and that is called your domain.sites file and you need this file to be transferred if you want your website back again.
Can you get access to thhis file on your old Mac and transfer it? If you can then fine, you can access your website again, but if not, you are out of luck and you'll have to re-build your website from scratch using iWeb.
If you don't have iWeb, then now might be a good time to move forward and look at the many alternatives that are out there such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, and EverWeb which is billed as an iWeb replacement and is very much like iWeb, but with SEO and the ability to create drop down menus built in (check out http://www.everwebapp.com). Other alternatives also include Flux 4, Freeway Pro and Express and WebAcapella 4.
Have a look and most of these allow you to download free trials so you can try before you buy.

Sorry, but without a backup in iCloud or iTunes on your computer, your data is gone and can't be restored anymore.

Is there a way to get back lost information on a phone that was synced to the wrong itunes account

She can restore to a previous backup, if she has one. Or she

You won't be able to restore a device running iOS 4.2 from a backup of a device running iOS 5 (as you found out). And the Iphone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 so there is no way to migrate from his iPhone 4 back to his iPhone 3G. He would have to at least have an iPhone 3GS, which will update to iOS 5.1 and would be able to restore from the iPhone 4 backup. Unfortunately, there isn't any way around it.

I need to get back to ff4. I know this came up before but I don't have a link to the answer. My concern is the loss of use of Roboform.

I need to get back to FF4. I did this in the past but lost the procedure. I need to get to FF4 so that Roboform tool bar works.

Thanks for the right fix.
By the way RF is now up to7.4.1
Also when the install of FF5 ran it said that the Roboform toolbar was incompatible and said there was no upgrade. That is what sent me searching for away back to FF4. So I didn't even look at RF's site believing there was no upgrade available.

Is there a way to get a deleted text message back ?

Yes, you could Restore your iPhone from your backup on iCloud and get the text. Any texting, or other items, you did between the backup and the Restore would be lost.

I Am no expert for sure but my Mac does auto save on most everything I do. If you've saved previous versions you might be able to find a previous version of the document. I'd look for previous versions. Hope an expert helps you. Good luck.

Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

How can I get an overview of old text messages and phone call [personal detail removed]
If you are the account owner, you can access the last year of calls records and the last three months of message summary (date, time, number texted, there is no where to see the text context) through your online account. Click on the HOME Tab once logged in and choose PRINT BILLS and then click on the pull down menu to choose any invoice for the last twelve months to view.

Stop sharing an Apple ID. That is the cause.

I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

You can't. When you restore from a backup it will restore everything in the backup. You might be able to find a third party app that will allow you to extract individual files from an iTunes backup, but not with an iCloud backup.
