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.

  • How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband?

    How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband? I've found lots of threads about this but no direct answers/how to.
    Thanks

    With the latest build of GarageBand on the device, move to the My Songs view, tap the Edit button at top right, select the shaking song you want to export, then tap the sharing arrow symbol at top left, tap iTunes, then GarageBand.
    Connect the device to iTunes, select it in the left-hand column, then select the Apps tab. You should find the exported file in the File Sharing area of the GarageBand app and from there you can copy it to your computer, then open it with the GarageBand application.

  • How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

    I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
    First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
    Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed? 
    Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
    When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
    (a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
    (b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years. 
    (c)  I sync with itunes regularly.
    (d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
    (e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
    I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S. 
    Thank you.

    You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
    Select mailbox (folder)
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
    You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

    Regarding Mail being slow....
    Is it only Mail that is slow?  How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

  • 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 my notes on my Mac?

    Hi everybody!
    Times ago I use to save all my old notes on my Mac instead deleting them from iCloud. Now, on my new Mac Mini, I can work just with iCloud account...
    How can I solve it?
    Thank you so much!!
    P.S.: Turning OFF iCloud sync is NOT a solution: I need it! I tried and when I return iCloud ON, my mac copies all notes stored on Mac to iCloud and it delete them from Mac...

    The On My Mac category is inaccessible if you store Notes on one or more network servers, such as iCloud, and there are no notes stored locally.
    In the Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane, temporarily disable Notes in each of your mail accounts, where applicable. Then create a new note iin the Notes application. The On My Mac category will appear. You can then re-enable Notes in your network accounts.
    Notes in On My Mac won't appear on your other devices.

  • 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 iCloud contacts on my Mac?

    I would like to save a few of my icloud contacts to my computer for off-line access. I do not want to edit or sync them. Is there a way to do this? I used to remember having "On My Mac" as an option on the left side panel. And also there was an "On My Mac" set up as a local account. But I can not find it anymore.
    If I export the contacts as an Archive I am unable to open them without the archive replacing all of the contacts and I certainly don't want that to happen.
    Any suggestions anyone?

  • How can I save the images to the iPhone anywhere

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
