HELP! Saving text message from original iphone

I've got the original iphone and I need to know how to save several pages of text for a court hearing. I have tried several suggestions on here to save messages but none are working. I have tried taking a screen shot by holding down the home and power button at the same time, my version of iphone does not allow forwarding messages, so I can't sent it to an email address to print out later. I understand that there are applications that one can purchase, but I'm wondering if they are configured for the original iphone... can anyone help me?

You can do your backup either to iTunes or to iCloud, which ever way you have been doing them in the past. This support document might make it easier for you to chose if you haven't been backing up in the past. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262 Make sure for safety sake that you import the pictures from your camera roll and that you sync contacts and calendar data to a supported application on the computer. Then follow the information in this support document for putting data from old device onto the new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • TS2755 I would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer. (I have verizon as a carrier)

    Hey:
    Hi everyone.
    would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
    (I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
    Can you help me.
    Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.

    There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
    The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
    A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer.

  • How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

    Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product.  I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth.  Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

    SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
    If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
    "Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • I typed a text message from my iphone 4 to my wifes iphone 4 but she did not receive it. What to do?

    I typed a text message from my iphone 4 to my wife's iphone 4 but she did not receive it. The iphone user guide does not explain text messaging. Help.

    Even if he did hear the sound, there is no guarantee that the other end will receive it.  There have been times in the past when my wife has sent me text messages that I never received.  Heck,  before we were married, I sent her a letter via US Snail that she never received.  There is no guarantee of delivery for text messages or email, although email does tend to be more consistent that text messages (and cheaper too).

  • I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s by accident. How do i retrieve them through itunes?

    HELP!! I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s. I need to know how to retrieve them through itunes! I have tried alot of things and nothing is working!! Thank YOu

    If you had these messages on your phone when you last synced and haven't synced your phone again since losing them, the messages will be contained in the backup created when you synced (unless you are backing up your phone to iCloud).  If you restore your phone to this backup it will return your messages to your phone.  (If you have already syned again since losing them then you have already overwritten your earlier backup and your messages are lost.)  Restoring to a backup will revert all data and settings you your phone to those contained in the backup, not just messages.  If you have more recent data on your phone that you want to save you must do this before restoring it from backup.  If you want to restore from backup, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
