How can I save important sms's externally to my phone?

hi
i have an sms
thread on my phone which is very long and is preventing me from being able to upgrade to the latest iOS due to the storage being used.
however it is really important evidence to be used in court next year and I cannot delete the thread or risk losing it.
i Haven't found any way of either sending these sms's to my email, or backing them up to iCloud or my laptop.
is the only solution to take a ton of screenshots of the messages and save them as photos? This would take literally hours!
if anyone could help with a more straightforward solution I would be really grateful.
thanks

If it is truly evidence that will be used in court, then you need to turn the phone over to your attorney now and get a different phone to use.
Extracting the messages in any way, unless done under the supervision of the attorneys for both yourself and the other party will invalidate their usefulness as evidence. Your lawyer should have told you this already. If he or she didn't, then you need to bring it to their attention.

How can I save Aperture in an external disk?

How can I save Aperture in an external hard disk?
Thanks,

In addition to mende1's advice:
The Aperture application should be installed in the "Applications" folder; otherwise software update will not work.
Your Aperture Library can be stored where you want it, but if your Aperture library is referenced (if you are storing your original image files outside the Aperture Library), you will need to use the command "File > Relocate Original" to move the original image files to your external hard drive as well. Check the "Import panel" in Aperture, how the option "Store Files" in the "Aperture" brick of the import panel is set - "in their current location" or "In the Aperture Library".

How can i save sent sms messages C5-00

I cant see any sent sms messages on my phone. How do I set this up?

They should be stored locally on the phone in the Sent folder (Mail, scroll down past inboxes, select Account, see Sent folder). But that's all.
IMAP is really a better setup than POP if you are accessing from multiple places, but if IMAP isn't possible, the usual approach is to tell the phone to BCC you on all your sent mail (Settings, Mail, scroll down past the Accounts, tap ON for "always BCC myself").

How can i save iphone sms thread to mac

I need to save a long SMS thread from my iphone to my mac. Afraid of the third party software that's suggested on forums. Help?
Thanks!!

Hi...
Even if you could save the file on your Mac, because your iPhone is iOS based, you would not be able to read the messages on the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.

I just made a new icloud account and i want to restore my phone but i no longer have photos in my photo stream. So how can I save my photos when i restore my phone?

I just made a new icloud account and i want to restore my phone but i dont want to lose my pictures. and i no longer have any photos on my photostream.

Photos/videos in the iPhone's camera roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
After restoring your iPhone with iTunes, you can transfer the photos and/or videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Or you can create a backup for your iPhone with iTunes on your computer and when restoring your iPhone with iTunes, you can restore from the iPhones backup. Photos/videos in the iPhone's camera roll are included with the iPhone's backup. Although included with your iPhone's backup, I would still import the photos/videos from your iPhone's camera roll first.

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ?

How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ?
Can't seem to find an option to do this ... Lost message typed half way when I got out of the editor to check the calendar.
Am I missing something or has Nokians obsoleted this function on the latest S40 platform ?
Solved!

Hi all,
Like sudude here pointed out that's one way of leaving text as "draft" to message editor. Or you can also select Options > More > Exit editor to do the same. And, next time when you select Create message that previous text should be there as it was left.
But there is also another option to start writing SMS's - with Notes application. Select Menu > Apps > Notes. Write a note and save it. Then for that note select Options > Send note > Send as message. Now your note is copied to message editor and you can send it or further edit and then send. Neat thing here is that when you use Notes application, text can be saved for later editing or use.

Imported old family video, I seperated different events and named each event, how can I save event to put together in a menu like family, vacation, christmas to make a DVD

Sorry, but I don't understand what "5 1 hour video" means.
I do understand that you have a lot of clips that you want to group by various subjects, like vacation, etc. That's a perfect job for keywords, which perhaps is what you used when you named them?
If you did use keywords, go to that TL Index and click Tag at the top and then the keyword icon at the bottom. It should give you a list of only clips in that category. Select clip from the menu and it should highlight them. You could then copy and paste them to a new project for export. Repeat as necessary.
If you're going to do a lot of these, I'd suggest doing this from the event browser, applying keywords and then the clips into separate projects. But there are always more than one way to do things, and to each his/her own.
Again, I don't have any idea how long your footage is and whether it is even possible (or desirable) to fit it on to a single DVD. I mentioned iDVD because of its menu and sub menu capabilities. You will need another app like Compressor to do the chapter makers (unless Apple updates FCP before you finish your project and adds that capability. That would be nice,)
Good luck.

"Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?

Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

OK you need to click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie. Then you can drag within iMovie. You must hold the Command key down as you drag, or you will COPY not MOVE.
If you are trying to save space, the large files are in the Events. You can also move them by Command Drag within iMovie.
