How to edit SMS.db file pulled from iPhone?
Hey,
I recently accidently deleted a conversation from my iPhone, but luckily I had synced up with iTunes previously, so the texts and other settings were still backed up so that they could be restored.
Before restoring, I pulled off the SMS.db file from the iPhone so that I could have all the most up-to-date sms text messages that were on the phone so that I didn't lose them. I then restored to 1.1.4 and was able to get back my old text messages. SO I then pulled off that SMS.db file from the iPhone, so now I have 2 SMS.db files, which I basically want to merge into 1, which contains all the up-to-date texts, and that also contains the deleted conversation.
I tried downloading SQLite Expert Professional, as well as SQLite Browser, and am able to open up both of the .db files. However, I cannot find a way to copy and paste the missing conversation from one .db to the other. I also was thinking of going to the extent of just manually typing in each and every one of the missing sms's into the newer db file, that way I would have all texts there, but when I try to add an entry to the database, I get an error saying "The database file is locked."
So what I'd like to know is if ANYBODY has any idea of how I can go about getting all the texts into one SMS.db file (either just copy/paste, retype manually adding from one to another, etc...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot!
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, I'm running Windows Vista, so that won't work for me, since it's only Mac Compatible. In the FAQ, they say that for Windows users, they suggest TouchCopy (http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/), but either way, none seem to do exactly what I want.
I basically want to have ALL my SMS's back into 1 SMS.db file, so that I can put that back on the iPhone, overwriting the current version, so that I can view all the SMS's directly through the iPhone. What PhoneView seems to do is basically give you the option to view your SMS's on the computer, which I can do using MobileSyncBrowser.
Thanks for the help, but if there's something I'm missing here, please do let me know. Thanks again, and any and all help would be appreciated!

Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.
I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
Hope this helps! -

Please let us know what sort of trouble you're running into. It would also be helpful to know how the PDF file was created, and what version of Word you're using.

How to edit move rename files in iTunes
how to edit move rename files in itunes
I don't like iTunes.
I don't want iTunes to keep the physical location of my files because they can be on a SD card, or an USB drive and i don't want iTunes to stop me from playing a song because it cannot find it anymore.
So i would like to use physical files just to upload to iTunes Match and then delete the link to the physical file.
If needed, iTunes Match will download the file.
The problem is just that i would like to delete all references to physical files to make iTunes Match download the file only when needed and stop using the first version i had given to it
maybe i could have a Apple Script to check if there is a physical file referenced and if so delete it to have only the Cloud version -
How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?
How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?
If you have Evernote, you could try quicktate. http://www.quicktate.com
I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
Open TextEdit on a new document
Enable Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
Press the fn-key twice
Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation. You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished. -
How can I assign image file name from Main() class
I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
public String s;
private String message = "Hello, " + s;
public String toString() {
return message;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Example ex = new Example();
ex.s = "world";
System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
private String message;
public Example(String name) {
message = "Hello, " + name;
public String toString() {
return message;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Example ex = new Example("world");
System.out.println(ex.toString());

How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX 10?
I am new to Mac and the Mountain Lion software. Having worked exclusively with PC operating systems, I am familiar with how to work with files in Windows, but am having trouble doing similar actions in OX 10. How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX? Although this answer is likely in a video tutorioal (somewhere), I do not have the time to sit an arbitrarily watch generic OS videos that give a broad brush overview, without answering specific queries. Any help out there?
You might fun http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ to be of help to get used to doing things the Mac way.

How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is...
How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is not connected?
That software that is available in the nokia site “nokia phone browser” is not useful! Why?
It is not working unless the mobile device is connected (attached)
It is quite slow when editing the contacts! (attached)
Then why the nokia doesn’t offer a simple software that enable us to edit and explore the content of our nbu files?
Is there some workaround in this regard?
Is there some software the can edit the nbu files?
Thank you for the help,
Best

how do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ? My photos and video files are first imported into Aperture then synced with iTunes. However, itunes does not capture the Video files but uploads the phtos from Aperture during sync.
I tried dragging the video files into iTunes but it still would not be captured into iTunes ?
Appreciate any help on this. ThanksOpen them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes. That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.
