How can I access iMessages from iTunes backup?

I backed up my iPhone since I needed to backup a really large iMessage conversation and I read this was a way to do it
Now I want to access it from my computer
how can I do this?

You will need a Backup Extractor program; there are many available. I use iScavenge for Mac, but there are many more. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iphone+backup+extractor The one at the top of the search claims to be free, but it is not. Don't be fooled. I can't recommend for or against any of them, except iScavenge, which is OK.
If you are technically inclined the backup is a SQLite database, so a SQLite browser can also open the backup.

  • Can i  access apps from itunes on my pc

    can i  access apps from itunes on my pc?
    I want to download my apps to my pc so I can clear some space on my iphone 4.
    Then I can use the space for other things e.g music.
    However at a later date I would like to access these apps and the data they have stored using my PC
    Is this possible?
    Or is this just another Mac problem?

    Most apps will store their data locally on the device. This can be restored from a backup when restoring the device, but if you remove the app any data associated with it is removed, and then subsequently purged from the device's rolling backup set on the next backup. If the app supports iTunes File Sharing you may be able to export its data to your computer, then reimport at a later date when you add the app back to your device.

    Please explain further.
    You don't need an AppleID to access an iTunes library. An iTunes library is stored on your computer.
    Default location is /Music/iTunes/ folder.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    this just started w/ me yesterday.  I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere.  I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
    Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
    The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit".  Download is useless because I'm already running the latest.  Quit is pretty useless.
    I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music.  Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

    How can I access images from IPhoto library on my Mac to Photoshop CS6?  I enable jpg with format "Photoshop" and this is what comes up -  "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Photoshop is not a format.  It's an application.
    What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.
