How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

  • I'm wanting to restore Safari to its factory settings but my Safari doesn't show the "Restore Safari" button for me to do that. How do I restore Safari back to its factory settings?

    I'm wanting to restore Safari on my computer back to its factory condition but, for some odd reason, Safari is not showing me the "Restore Safari" button on my computer. Can anyone help me in this dilemma?

    Safar 8
    Apple removed "Reset Safari" menu option in Safar 8.
    In it's place there is "Clear History and Website Data".
    You can use that option.

  • How can I retrieve my picture from my old iPhone to my new iPhone 6

    How can I retrieve my photos from my old iPhone to d new one via iCloud

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

    When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words.  I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
    I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

    OneLuckyWoman in order to avoid this please backup your iPhone in iTunes.
    Follow the steps in this article to backup your iPhone in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Once you've done that, you will need to restore from that backup which this article tells you how to do. And than your text messages will be restored as well. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please just let me know.

    My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
    I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I  may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
    Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
    I look forward to an early response.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • How can I use iMessage after deregistering my device?

    I recently switched to WP8 and I realized I wasn't getting my text messages.  After some research, I found that I need to deregister my device(s).  That's fine and it seems to work.  My question now is, how can I continue to use iMessage with my current AppleID without it somehow screwing up my text messages for my new phone?
    For some perspective, I had my iPhone on, but the cellular turned off so that I could still use it for wifi.  My iPad only has wifi.  So I turned off my iPhone and suddenly my texts starting working on my new phone.  That's weird, I thought.  How come I'm getting messages on my iPhone through imessage?  After turning off my iPhone, suddenly my iPad started picking them up.  I then deregistered both devices, but I still wnat to use iMessage.  Make sense?  I hope so

    Yes.
    Once your iPhone is set up, on your computer add the phone number using Messages/Preferences/Accounts.

  • 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.
