Help restoring text messages after botched messages_database sync

I needed to save/print valuable text messages from my Treo 700p.  Foolishly hadn't synced in a couple of years.  Unfortunately, I believe that I set the conduit to replace my current (2012) text messages with the old (2010) messages_database.pdb file from my back up folder.  I desperately need to get the 2012 messages back.  It appears that the data on my Treo as well as on my PC now only contain the 2010 information.
Is there any way to get the probably over-written 2012 data back?

  • How do I retrieve my recent calls and recent text messages after I restored the settings

    How do I retrieve my recent call log and recent text messages after I had to restore the settings?

    If they were in your most recent back up and you restore your phone to that back up, you'll get them back. If they're not in the back up, there's no way to get them back.

  • URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

    Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
    I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

    That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

  • Timestamps are gone on restored text messages

    Hello,
    I was using Verizon Cloud to backup my text messages.  I recently performed a factory reset on my phone (Motorola DROID 3) and then re-installed the Verizon Cloud app.  For a while, nothing happened.  Then, overnight, it apparently synced all of my text messages back to my phone.  This had two undesired results:
    1. The restored text messages overwrote any messages which I had sent or received after the reset.
    2. All of my text messages are now timestamped with the time they were restored, instead of the original date and time.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there anything I can do to resolve either, or both, of these issues?

    Personally I think a third party app from the Play Store would have succeeded where the VZW cloud failed. This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore hasn't failed me yet in the three years I've used it

  • Help restore 30684 messages in Apple Mail inbox

    I had opened another thread where in I had e-mail accounts two using IMAP and one using exchange 2010.  For some strange reason around 12/21/11 all of my inboxes disappeared without a trace.  That day mail was being sluggish activiity monitor was busy but I did not realiize realize what it was doing until too late.  None of my messages showed up in the trash or deleted messages folder, they all just went straight into a black hole.   With the two IMAP mailboxes I was able to do a time machine restore of a backup done on 12/20.  These mailboxes only contained a few thousand so it was relatively quick an hour or so each.  After the restore I moved the messages from the local recovered folder to the inbox all is happy.  When I tried doing the exchange inbox with 30684 it would hang on the restore.  I would select the inbox then launch time machine.  I would go to the date 12/20/11, the inbox would start a count of the inbox contents ultimately ending up with 30684 messages.  I would then do a cmd-a and it would select all 30684 messages and in about 2+ hours the daisy wheel is done selecting and a message would pop up on the lower pane and say something like "click on the restore button to recover 30684 messages."  I would then click on the restore button and leave it.  I've left it as long as a week and it was just stuck there and I had to force quit mail.  I tried that process again and would leave it over night the next morning it would still be stuck at that last screen when I clicked recover but the time machine disk has stopped popping the popcorn. It would be totally stock and only thing I could do was force quit mail.  Clicking on cancel or anything else would not respond.

  • E90 unable to forward text messages after software...

    Hi,
    I recently updated my e90 to 300.34.84 software and now I am unable to forward text messages. You can only forward by manually typing in the numbers. If you choose via the "add recipient" option, it brings you to your contacts  list and you can mark "x" on the box beside the name however there is no "ok" option, just a "back" option which if chosen, brings you back to the text message you want to forward without any name on the top. Any help on how to solve this is much appreciated

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    If you backed it up using iTunes on your computer, then you can restore it from there. If you didn't back it up at all, then no. There is no place to restore it from.

  • Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

    Hi anyone who can help!
    I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
    I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
    But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
    1 - set it up as a new phone
    2- upgrade the software
    3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
    Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
    Any help at all much appreciated!
    simon

    Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
    If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

  • IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

    Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
    Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!  

    Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
    The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
    When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
    Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

  • How to recover text messages after iphone 4s restore?

    Hey! It's my first post so ... here I go ...
    I was wondering if there is a way of getting my text messages and imessages back. My iPhone 4s was 'acting weird' so I decided to run a restore, contact list is OK but all of my messages are gone. I was planning to restore my iPad 3 as well but now I'm afraid that my imessages will disappear too.
    Thanks in advance
