How do you save a text thread from being deleted off your phone?

I want to save a specific text thread on my phone. Due to the fact that my phone on stores 90 days worth of texts this conversation will be deleted soon. How do I keep it on my phone?

Are you using the stock messaging app, Verizon Messages, or another messaging app?  Each may have a different way of saving messages - long press a message in the thread, or long press the thread itself and see what aoptions you have.
Using Verizon Messages, I see an option to "Save Messages" - you may be able to "lock" messages preventing deletion too.  Other third party apps allow you to download and save messages to a file you can store on your computer.

  • HT4061 how do you do a system reboot from the computer when your phone is not working

    I would like to know how to do a system reboot from the computer. The Verison rep said that is what I need to do to fix my phone but they did not have the equipment to do so.

    Do you mean restore your phone?  You'll need itunes on your computer, plug your phone to your computer open itunes and select restore.

  • At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

    At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

    Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
    As for the install failing,
    I never do the older "archive and install"
    I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
    of course all the data is lost.
    Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
    TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
    Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
    Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
    A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
    Just some ideas to throw out there....
    Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
    I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
    LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
    So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

  • How can you prevent encrypted folders that you created in disc utility from being deleted?

    You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
    You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
    The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
    <http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
    about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
    The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
    The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
    I set it in Terminal, thus
    $ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
    and unset it also in Terminal
    $ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
    (Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

  • Is it possible to save a text thread from iPhone?

    I realize that the thread will be saved on the phone itself until I delete it, but I want to save a text thread forever by copying and pasting it to an e-mail or document. Is this possible? I can't figure out how to do it….I have an iPhone 4s.

    You can copy the messages by tapping and holding on a message, which will bring up a copy option. You can also select more which will allow you to select multiple messages, which you can then press the arrow in the bottom right to "forward" them. Instead of forwarding them you could then highlight the text in the box and copy and paste it into a note or email.
    You could also "Screen capture" the messages by pressing the home and lock button at the same time to take a picture of the screen.

  • How do you Save a PDF file from iTunes U

  • How do you SAVE a scanned image from my printer?

    I have an HP Deskjet 3510 Printer.  How do I save a scanned image from my printer to a folder?  This is my first MAC.

    It's automatically saved,  if you use the Image Capture application already pre-loaded on your computer you specify the folder, file name, and type of file (jpg, pdf, etc...) right there. You didn't say what scanning app you use but I'm sure it is very similar.
    BTW because this is your first Mac I'd suggest book marking and using the Intel-based iMac Support link.

  • How do i prevent my internet history from being deleted in firefox version 11.0?

    Hi, I would like to stop my internet history from being deleted. I had stopped it when i was on version 7 i think. But now I have version 11 my internet history is being deleted.
    Its when you click on history then show all history and from there it is being deleted and I need it to stop. I have fox filter and I am watching what my boys look at. But i have a feeling they are still getting through it as I have noticed that the istory is being deleted and there are cookies that relate to porn on the computer!
    Thanks!

    First, the version of Firefox that you are running is very very out of date and thus insecure. Please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] to download the latest and best version.
    Now, you want to make it impossible to have any history deleted from Firefox? I'm not sure that there is a way to prevent that in Firefox (I will look for an addon to do that however).
    I would take a look at the various [[Parental controls|Parental controls]] that are available in Firefox and Windows Vista however. In this case, I think a good content filter will probably be your best course.

  • How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

    Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card.  The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it.  When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI.  How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format?  I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel?  Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application?  I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken.  Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data?    Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

    There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi.  Just a thought...

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!
    -Monty

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

  • Can you save a text log from iphone to your mac?

    My boyfriend and I are really into language, and we have had some precious, clever, funny conversations over the past few months. I have one huge giant text message going between us that's about three months long, and I would love to download it to my computer to be able to read it. And then delete the original because it's getting huge and unwieldy and takes awhile to open. Plus, he's sent me addresses and such that take forever to go back and find.
    Is there any way to sync text messaging to my mac for backup and access?

    Hello, there's no way to do this from iTunes or the iPhone at the moment but it is possible to extract data from the iPhone backup.
    I use the method covered here: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/10/scanning-your-iphone-backup-files/ to save SMS messages from my iPhone into a text file.
    Without going into too much detail, you convert your iPhone backup into SQLite3 db format via a small Perl script and then open them with a (free) SQLite Database viewer.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you keep display only fields from being inserted into tables?

    Morning I have a problem where I am displaying a couple fields on a screen and they are tring to insert in to a table.
    I am running Apex 4.1 on 11Gr2, i am building a set of screens, on the first one the user inputs a subject ID, that branchs to a second screen that uses the subject id to do a lookup for a couple fields for display. there are a couple field the user feels in and a row is inserted in to a differnet table. But Apex is tring to insert the lookup fields in to the second table when I really only need the subject ID.
    How can I tell Apex which fields to use in the insert and which not to try to uses. I see in the debug it is getting all the screen fields in the inserty statement.
    Thanks

    In the insert process, take the cols out which you don't want to insert, say,
    insert into tbl (col1, col2, ....) value (p1, p2, ...)
    =>
    insert into tbl (col1, col5, ....) values (p1, p5, ...)

  • How do you disable menu bar icons from being moved?

    The students at our school have discovered that if you hold down the Command key and click on certain menu bar items (such as the icons for Displays, Sound, Date & Time, Keyboard Layout, etc.) it is possible to move them around. It is also possible to drag them out of the menu bar and they disappear in the normal "puff of smoke" which you get when dragging items out of the Dock. Is there a way of disabling this nifty little feature, or at least of having it reset at login?
    We are using Workgroup Manager (XServe, OS X 10.4.8) to manage the setup of the student computers, and I cannot find a setting relating to management of the actions I have described. The problem is that we have enabled a Vietnamese keyboard layout. The students can select it when needing to type in Vietnamese in Word 2004, and then set it back to the normal layout (Australian, in this case). Occasionally they forget to set it back to normal. Then, if a student in the next class decides to command-drag the keyboard layout icon out of the menu bar, the Vietnamese layout either becomes the default (with no way for them to change it back) and/or sometimes "kicks in" without any discernible reason when trying to connect to the server, making logging-on a challenge (the layout re-maps some of the characters). Any suggestions would be appreciated. We have already tried enabling access to the "International" System Preference, but some students then go out of their way to add every keyboard layout (there are dozens of them!) and/or change the language settings - have you (as a mono-lingual person) ever tried to navigate through menus when they are in Chinese, Arabic, or Hungarian? We would like to be able to somehow "lock down" the icons which are displayed in the menu bar (top RH corner) so that they can not be deleted or, alternatively, re-appear at next login if they have been deleted.

    Go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and set a longer interval.
