  • I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    How to get old pictures back and messages

    If you deleted pictures without importing them to the computer, they are gone. Messages are kept in the backup, but once they are deleted they are gone as well.
    What are you trying to do? Even plugging into the computer will not allow you to read old messages if you have deleted them.

  • How to retrive the old messages in sxmb_moni (integration engine)

    Hi Expert,
    We were trying to call RFC and send some messages through XI. Due to some connection issue the message was failed in integration engine(MONI). As this messages had failed last week. We are not able to see the messages in MONI.
    Now we wanted to get the payload of the messages which had failed.
    Can you please suggest how can we see those messages and get the payload which is now not visible in MONI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Nutan Champia.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your response. I am able to see some messages in the mentioned table but I am not able to open those messages in MONI with the message id given in the table SXMSPMAST2 (SXMSPMAST) and SXMSPHIST to get the payload. (I have given date selection critaria as 1st of Nov 2011 till date). As this is very important for us would you please help us.
    Hi Venkata Ramesh,
    So if I have correctly understood you, then you mean to say that these messages which is not visible in moni we can not retrive the payload.
    Would you please help me to understand where can we see the settings to mention the number of days for which these messages should appear in MONI. (So that we can increase or can see the current settings for our project)
    Thanks
    Nutan

  • When I try to delete a message it deletes but then the app freezes and when I restart my phone the message is still there. How do I delete old messages?

    I have an iphone 4s with ios 7.0. I'm trying to update to ios 7.1 but I don't have enough storage space because I have so many old messages and this glitch is preventing me from deleting them to free more space.

    Try restoring your iPhone.  Plug it into iTunes on your computer (current version), let it sync, then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

  • How do I get old messages on a 4th generation ipod touch?

    I want to view messages from around this time last year, and I have previously deleted them from my ipod. I tried backing up my ipod to an earlier version, but that version was too late (it was from around July, and I need January) is there a way I can still get to the old messages? Or are they gone forever?
    Thanks!

  • HT3529 how do i delete old message conversations to free space

    I'm running out of space on my iphone 4 and, according to settings/general/usage, my old text messages take up 4+ GB of space. How can I set it up to only save texts for the last, say, six months?

    Basically, all you need to do is swipe the conversation to the right - left and press the red delete square. Unfortunately this will delete even the most recent text with this person, but that is all that apple offers built in the operating system. Additionally, you can press the edit button in the top left corner and press the minus next to the contacts to delete the conversation.
    Swiping to the Right
