How do I retrieve SMS messages after upgrade from iphone 4 to iphone 6

I lost my iphone 4 and so upgraded to iphone 6,  8.1.1.  During the process, all my test messages were lost.  Can I retrieve them?

Hello, thank you for your reply. My daughter backed up the 4 to itunes for me and then restored to the 4S from the backup on itunes, but it hasn't taken over my imessages, texts or my notes.
Unfortunately, I am technically challenged, so I don't know why it hasn't done this and now I'm wondering if I try the backup again, will it then go over the new messages that have come in? Ideally, I would like to be able to retrieve the messages from it before I restore the 4 so then my son can then have it.

    Your photos should be backed up on your computer's hard drive, and that hard drive should be backed up to another medium. If you have a camera, you don't keep all your photos in it, do you?

  • How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

    I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
    How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

    When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup.  It's like your phone went back in time. 
    Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever.  There is no way to get these data back.

  • My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do Imsend plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4S. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do I send her plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    Well, it could have to do with her phone, however does she have any difficulty in receiving SMS from others? You may want to check how you have iMessage set up. Go to Settings>Messages>Receive at>Make sure your telephone number is listed there, then go to Caller ID, and make sure your phone number is the one with the checkmark by it. You may be sending messages with your email address as the header and if that is so, it may be requiring her to download it as data. See if that helps.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • How do I retrieve SMS messages which were sent to me while phone was switched off?

    I recently switched my Iphone off for two weeks. When I turned it back on not a single text message appeared. However, I know that people text me during this time and while the messages appeared to send from their end, I still have not recieved them. Is their anything I can do to retrieve them?

    The people who sent you the texts would need to resend them.    SMS messages will expire after a certain amount of time if undeliverable.

  • Missing messages after upgrading from Panther to Tiger

    I have just upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and find that the new Mail app has imported all my old messages from one account in full but has only imported a small selection of the latest emails in my other two accounts and these have no text in them. In the Mail folder in the Library I can see two files called mbox which are of the right size (about 350mB each) to hold the missing messagesl but they cannot be read. The Inbox for the account which is working also contains a folder called Messages containing separate files for each email with the suffix .emlx
    How can I get my other two accounts to be the same? I have tried 'Import' from OS X Mail app. but this says it cannot see any files to import.
    Edward Mason

    The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Mail 2.x is often simply unable to import mailboxes that worked fine in Mail 1.x. Apple hasn’t bothered to fix the incredibly weak Mail 2.x import capabilities in all this time.
    The following procedure is meant to fix the incomplete conversion of a POP account’s Inbox. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
    5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
    6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
    7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
    The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
    8. Open Mail.
    9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Take a look at the following article to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Error message after Upgraded from 2.53ghz (533 FSB) to 3.2ghz (HT)

    Hi! everyone,
    As you can see i'm a newbie on this board, however I've frequently visited here once in a while.  Anyway, the problem I currently have after I upgraded my cpu from 2.53 ghz to 3.2ghz HT (Northwood) is that I not very often (few times so forth since monday) see this error message after reboot my pc :
    ***Message starts here***
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error restart your computer.  If this message appears again, follow these step:
    Run system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer.  In particularly run a memory check and check for faulty or mismatched memory, try changing video adapters.  
    Disable or remove any newly installed hardware or drivers....etc.
    Technical information
    ***STOP:  0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0xF7806d70, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    ....................................... ........etc.....
    ****Message ends here****
    As i stated before I've never seen this message before the upgrade.  So, here is my configurations:
    BEFORE
    875P NEO-LSR w/ BIOS v. 2.0
    2.53ghz 512 FSB CPU
    9500 Readon 128mb video card
    Dual IDE HD 80gb & 160 gb (NON SATA)
    1gb Dual channel memory (512mb on channel 1  -  512mb on channel 3) (KINGSTON pc2700 module)
    CURRENT
    857P NEO-LSR w/BIOS v. 2.0
    3.2ghz 800 FSB 512mb (L2 cache) CPU
    9500 Readon 128mb video card
    Dual IDE HD 80gb & 160 gb (NON SATA)
    1gb Dual channel memory (512mb stick on channel 1 - 512mb stick on channel 3) (KINGSTON pc2700 module) *
    * may be this causes this error message because as I read it on the discription page of the 875P NEO-LSR that it will only support DUAL channel (PC3200 type) with HT CPU.  So, i suspect this may cause the problem but I havent try to rearrange my memory to one channel (1 x 2) yet.
    I will greatly appreciate it if someone in here who may has experienced it before or know what all this means.  Please advise

    Thanks for your advise bejon2000.

  • Many apps missing after upgrade from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 4?

    Hi - I'm trying to troubleshoot for my dad who was lucky enough to receive the iphone 4 today. He says the majority of apps didn't transfer from his iphone 3gs. I did a screen share with him and he's right. The apps are on the old iphone 3gs but not showing in his apps library or on the new phone. Anyone else experiencing this? He did a full back-up and had already upgraded his iphone 3gs to the iOS4 software. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I had this issue but found the cause and solution.
    When upgrading from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 (initial connection of new phone to iTunes) and AT&T moved my phone number from the 3GS to the 4; the 4 told me to power cycle (and I think unplug). Since a power cycle causes the phone to disconnect & reconnect to iTunes, and since the first sync after plugging the phone in always does a backup, it did a backup of the blank phone settings (no apps), and therefore wiped out the checked apps in the Applications tab of iTunes. (Note: The apps' data did exist, so checking an app, syncing, and then running the app showed the data. Good news: Data's still there. Bad news: Any apps you skip will hold their old data, as opposed to when you delete an app and it removes the app data for you.)
    After hitting Erase All Content and Settings on my old 3GS and realizing it only took a minute and not an hour like the original iPhone did running OS 2 or 3, and seeing how smoothly its reinstall went (loaded settings, rebooted phone, and loaded apps OK), and more importantly that iTunes kept the old final 3GS backup and used a new backup for the new iPhone 4, I tried it on the iPhone 4: I hit Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings, then connected the phone. It asked which settings to restore, found my old phone backup (used date/timestamp to find right one); it then loaded settings (a few minutes), rebooted, and went right to installing apps. My phone was fine after that - all apps and folders were restored.

  • How do i retreive photo library after upgrading from '09 to '11?

    I upgraded my ilife '09 to ilife '11 and seems to be that my old library is missing and all the photos.  I already owned a copy of Filesalvage which found the photos but were they completely unorganized.  How can i get the photos back and organized?

    If you've had to recover them with File Salvage then you'll need to make a new Library and start over from scratch.
    Wouldn't it be better to restore from your back up?

  • How do I fix aperture 3 after upgrade from Aperture 2 to 3?

    Hello. I have had a good search but can't find the answer.
    1. 2 days ago I made a full time machine of my mac
    2. local mac shop did a clean install from 10.5 to 10.6.8
    3. local mac shop then installed aperture 3
    4. I then tried to update my new 10.6 mac from the time machine (using migration assistant). All went well (the files are accesable), but the files do not exist in itunes, aperture, documents etc when logged in as the user created when installing 10.6.8.
    The new OS has a diferent user/profile to the original one (I did not do the clean install of 10.6.8 and aperture 3, the local mac shop did). This meant I had permission problems, so I went into the original user (the one that the time machine had rebuilt) and added the new build user with full read wrire permissions.
    How do I now add all my projects and photos from the original profile/user to the new one?
    I havea 20 inch imac with 4 gb ram with 700gb hardrive of which 600gb is used and of that, 400gb is photos. I also havea a 4tb external drive I can use to switch things over with if required. That currently had data on it fromthe time machine backup under 10.5.
    Any help will be really appreciated. Many thanks.

    Do still have the Trial App installer disk image? Then just run the installer again and enter your serial number to unlock the application.
    Also have a look, if you have an "Accept Purchases" tab in your App Store Window, and if you see Aperture there. Then click the "Accept" button and download it.
    But if neither of these works, contact Apple Support (with proof of purchase) and ask for help - maybe they will provide a new installer. Aperture cannot be just copied - it needs additional files installed in the System Library, and only the installer will do that properly.
    For me it worked to restore Aperture from a Time Machine backup using Migration Assitant and including the System Library and the Applications Folder into the migration settings. Then enter again the serial number. But that should only be the last ressort, for this way you will not have a clean install of your system.
