How to find messages sent to you when your phone was broken

So my iphone 4s running ios7 was having trouble for about a week. Whenever I plugged it into iTunes it said it was in recovery mode and had to be backed up, which I did and would never complete because it would say error. During this time my iphone would just keep restarting itself over and over and would show the icon with the charger at the bottom and the itunes logo in the middle when it would restart and would loop through this process until the battery ran out. I since replaced my iphone with a replacement and backed it up, but the text messages that I should have received during this week have not come through. I know that pictures were sent to me through imessage and none of the text messages that I got during this time are showing up.
Is there a way for me to see all of my imessages? or to find these lost texts?

SMS messages are not guaranteed to be delivered, so any which you have not received are most likely gone forever (unless you can get the NSA to give you copies they have).  As for iMessage, the message history should populate to your new device when you use it with the same Apple ID and send/receive iMessages with the same contacts.  My iPad Air uses the same Apple ID as my iPhone 5, and when I actually send or recieve an iMessage with a contact since signing into the iPad Air it has pulled the history of the conversation to that device as well.

  • I5 ios7 Texts sent to me when my phone was off are not received - Shouldn't they be queued and sent to me when phone is turned on?

    My phone was off for awhile, and I had quite a few people tell me they had try to text me when it was off, so I thought there should be texts waiting. However, when I turned my phone on, I didn't receive any. Is this supposed to happen? With my old phone (not an iphone) I would receive all of the texts sent to me even if my phone was off when it was sent. Is there a way I can receive them?
    My 'send and receive' settings have my phone number and email selected
    SMS is on
    Was NOT on airplane mode when turned off
    Was not on 'do not disturb'

    Update to my original problem.  Spent over an hour at the genius bar, deleted all my info, went back to factory settings, reloaded everything, switched off, got a message sent - same problem, didn't arrive.  Apple guy said it must be a SIM problem as he'd tried everything he could think of.  Went to Vodafone, changed SIM - still happening!!  Will try Apple again when I have time, but this is so frustrating!!  Any ideas anyone??

  • TS4268 Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone?

    Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone? His text messages to me are showing up under my number, like he is me?

    Go to settings, messages, send and recieve, scroll to where it says start new conversation from, and make sure you each have a different email address checked instead of the same email address.

  • HT2905 No Display Duplicates under File. How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

    I now have iTunes ver 11.0.4.4 under Windows 7. I lost all iTunes stuff when updating to Windows 7. I have loaded thousands amd thousands of music files from backup disks, but there are many duplicates. I am attemping to re-establish my old library. I used to be able to remove duplicates quickly with the old iTunes. The new iTunes doesn't seem to offer the same service. Is there any way to remove duplicates quickly, or must I do it one by one?

    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

    I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
    Contacts transfer?
    Will you have your un-read messages?
    Will you see your missed calls?
    Will you have your voicemails?
    Please, someone help me out here

    Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
    Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
    Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
    Please, someone help me out here
    Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.
