How do I put all my messages onto my Macbook to view them on there.

I have a lot of messages saved onto my iPhone 5 and I want to view a certain contact's messages (like scroll all the way to the top) but it takes a long time to do so since I have sent/recieved so many messages from them and I have them all saved, so I would like to somehow get all those messages onto my Macbook Pro to make it easier to view them. So if anyone knows how I could do this please help! (and no this is not be asking how to get my iMessage on my macbook) hopefully my question makes sense....

See if this helps.

  • How do I copy all Email messages to another system and view them seperately from any messages on the new system?

    We're giving my wife's old laptop to our children. We have already set up her E-mail accounts on the new laptop which is now 2-3 months old. While cleaning off the data from the old laptop, I have found hundreds of Emails that I want to save for future use. I just archived the old messages tonight. How do I copy them to an external drive so we can read them later without writing over all the new Emails on the new laptop?

  • How do I put music from ipod onto new computer

    I had my Macbook fixed and replaced. When I got it back and tried to plug in my ipod touch, it said that "it's synced with another library, choose erase and install or cancel".
    How can I put my music back onto my macbook?

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

  • HT1296 How do you put all music on Ipod back onto a previously crashed computer in which the original music files were not able to be restored?

    Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
    My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.

    from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
    Yes i have.
    if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
    If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
    If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
    I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
    Thanks for trying to help by the way :]

  • I want to put all my music onto an external hard drive.  But I can't get it to put music on my itunes.  The music list is completely empty and so is my IPOD.

    I want to put all my music onto an external hard drive.  But I can't get it to put music on my itunes.  The music list is completely empty and so is my IPOD.  How do I do this?  I have a PC with Windows.

    You say the music is not on the external HD, the music list (iTunes?) is empty, and it is not on the iPOd. Then where is the music you want to move to the external HD?

  • HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

    I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

    Thanks Turingtest2,
    I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it.  I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
    However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then.  Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
    It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
    If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

    Your new HD needs to be formatted for use on your Mac, so:
    2. TO FORMAT THE HD:
    Applications > utilities > disk utility
    go to DISK UTILITY and verify what it says your HD is formatted as under the "ERASE" tab
    see from mine below, HD on left selected,   .......ERASE tab highlighted.... and middle right roughly, it says "MAC OSX EXTENDED JOURNALED"
    thats the format,  but yours may be different of course
    bottom right ERASE tab lets you erase/ FORMAT your external  (remember this erases all data ON THE HD!)

  • How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

    How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

    I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
    If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
    As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value.  You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
    That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
    You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

  • HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

  • How do I put all my seperate video files into one DVD?

    Hey friends,
    Toby here again, thanks so much for giving me hint to the scroll bar, I've finished putting the audio into the video as well as the effects.
    Which means my movie's almost complete!
    However, while I await the music from my composers to be completed to put in the film for story-telling depth, I need help again.
    I have edited my movie into four seperate windows with this program, and I'm currently trying to figure out how I can put all of it together or all of it into one DVD because I need to watch and make sure the footage's video matches with the audio so it doesn't seem like a Godzilla dubbing or something.
    Give me as much suggestions as you could possibly give me, and thank you kindly for your time!
    -Toby

    Since you said DVD, I assume you're working in standard rather than hi-def video.
    As I show you in my books:
    1) Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset to output each of your segments as a DV-AVI.
    2) Open a new project using the standard DV project settings.
    3) Import all of the segments and combine them on the timeline.
    Just as a note, a DVD can hold about 70 minutes of video at full quality. If you're video is longer than that, it's probably a good idea to spread it out over two or more discs.
