How to recover chat history since January 2009...

I have spent over an hour trying various methods to get the chat history I've established with a company since January 2009. Many software updates and operating system installs over this three-year time-span has left the entire chat history very fragmented, as I only have the past two months. This entire chat history is very important, as it relates to a large portion of proof for an employment lawsuit. If anyone or anything can help with getting this 3 year chat history, I'd be very grateful.

I have a very old and ugly utility that I created, it requires it be opened in a IE ("Internet Browser") window.
Note: Once you click the "Refresh" button it can take a long time to list all the chats in
your chat history. Also, when you select a chat, depending on how many chat messages are in that chat, it can take along time to display the chat messages in a chat:

How to regenarate chat history?

Hi did is Chaitanya I m using Skype last from 8 years in xp2 ,I phone(iOS) windows 8 n I have not saved r back uped any history. . how can I get my chats back plzz help me...

Hi,
There are no room console API to limit to chat history other than deleting some items manually by going to Explore tab's items. Currently the entire history gets cleared automatically. If you want to delete some messages now, you would have to subsclass some of the functions inside SimpleChatModel.as.
You can see the clear function for deleting the complete chat history inside SimpleChatModel.as. Basically, you need to delete the nodes and create them again. You can do this using PHP also by using our ServerToServer API to delete and create the nodes.
However, we plan to do some changes to our SimpleChatModel in future which will include allowing users to delete some messages. This will be coming in second half timeframe of year.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Not by using Skype application, but this is possible with 3rd party programs as e.g. SkypeX:

With very little technical experience, you can also edit your main.db chat databse:

How to recover safari history that has been cleared

I have a 2012 iMac running Mavericks OSX 10.9.4 4GB 1333 MHZ
I frequent a social network site that hosts photos, private mail conversations and blog discussions.
I use an app " safari cache explorer" that will very quickly look at the cache files from the browser history and give me the option to view the line items as plain text, web page, or image. The plain text view is not really that readable so I would like any suggestion on how to convert that part to something more useful. The items that can be viewed as web pages are perfect and appear exactly as the did when I was on that webpage.
Here is my problem. If the clear history function has been used in safari that explorer app has nothing to look at and sometimes I need to go back and find a preveiously viewed webpage. I am using time machine to backup to a Seagate backup plus drive and I have read at least several online discussions as well as everything on this community board on how to recover to recover to recover those files. There have been several highly detailed explinations on how to accomplish this task but not one has worked.
Is it possible to retrive the history.plist, cache plist or whatever is needed to see those web pages from a week or two ago in a manner that they are usable?
If so what are the exact instructions on doing this task. A procedure that actually works would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/History.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Enter Time Machine and restore the selected item from a snapshot that predates the unwanted changes. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to recover mail history of an accidentally deleted account

Hi
I accidentally deleted a mail account and all its history. the history is not available from the mail account server. I don't seem to be able to recover it using Time machine recovery. I think the only way is to try and recover the deleted mail history file but have no idea how to do this. Is it possible for me to do this or do I need to take my imac to a specialist third party?
Thanks

It all depends on the type of account and how it was configured. For IMAP-type accounts, mail is stored on the server, and setting up the account again is all that’s needed to regain access to your mail.
If you deleted a POP account, however, then all your mail stored locally in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
If the POP account was configured to leave mail on the server for some time instead of removing it right away when downloaded, incoming mail that’s still on the server can be re-downloaded by setting up the account again, just like for IMAP accounts, but keep in mind that this would only work for received (i.e. not sent) mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

How to delete chat history for one single person?

I have other chats from suppliers I need to keep. Personal chats there is no need to keep.
Why is this so difficult?

Hi All.
Been browsing everything to do with this, and absolutely there should be a "delete history" button as per PC version.
I stumbled across something interesting which I hope helps and its a conglomeration of a few things (I have the S4!)
I found out that IF you used MSN or Windows live then you have been asked to join the 2 together?... No?.. Well I had Skype 1st and also MSN. Anyways... This is how I got rid on mine and it did take a couple of goes because it left one conversation behind.
First as per othersw, go into settings>more>app manager>skype. Then in this order: clear cache: clear data, then force stop the app. This will reset everything pasword wise.
Now go on PC. Sign in to account(s) one at a time and clear any/all history even if there appears to be none (for me was Skype and Microsoft Passport).
Sign out of both. Start up Skype again and sign in as normal.
It worked for me after a couple of goes (I think the force stop was the thing that did it!) and I have nice clean message history.
But come on Skype.. how difficult can it be to have a "clear history" button/setting....
May the force be with you!

On Adium how to view chat history?

On Adium, how do you view all the history of your chat? On Skype it's simple because you can click on 'view history - all' on the top of the talk window

nevermind I see that you can click on each person's name and view chat transcripts.

How to recover AWR history ?

Hi, I'm dealing with an instance that was moving from another server due to a hardware upgrade. I did not realize this procedure, and not know how they performed, but all in the database is OK except for the AWR Reports: After the ask for num_days the awrrpti is frozen
I think the problem is that there are repeated values for DBID and INSTANCE_NUM in the dba_hist_database_instance, with different HOST_NAME (the old "prod.myorg.com" and the new "DBTIER"):
SQL> select distinct dbid, db_name, instance_num, instance_name, host_name from dba_hist_database_instance;
DBID DB_NAME INSTANCE_NUM INSTANCE_NAME HOST_NAME
68402211 PROD 1 prod prod.myorg.com
68402211 PROD 1 prod DBTIER
The simple solution is to change the DBID with nid, but in this way I'll loose the history of AWR reports
How can I tell Oracle that "prod.myorg.com" is now "DBTIER" (maybe update in the AWR base tables) ?

MIN_BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME MAX_END_INTERVAL_TIME
18/01/12 00:00:22,864 25/01/12 16:00:21,896
This results helps me to realize that I can execute awrrpti with a num_days value that dont cross the January 18 threshold. I can survive in this scenario, but if there are any solution for fix the break, much better
Thanks again and best regards,
Alfonso

How to recover safari history from time machine?

Hi guys,
I need your help ... I use time machine for the backup and I cancelled the history of Safari few days ago and now I need to recover it.
Where and how can I find it among the time machine files?
I have already read some suggestions in the web that told me to find it in the user/Library/Safari/History but I can't find any Safary folder in my Library :-(
Many thanks in advance

Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/History.plist
Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "History.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

How to limit Chat History to the current connected session

Is there a configuration at the time of node creation?

I am setting SessionDependent Items value to true inside onSynchronizationChange in my code.
Following are the two instance of onSynchronizationChange
Inside Connect session class
public function connectChat() :void
trace('connectChat');
_collectionNode =
new CollectionNode();
_collectionNode.sharedID = NOTIFICATION_COLLECTION_NODE;
_collectionNode.connectSession =
this.connectSession;
_collectionNode.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, onSynchronizationChange,
false, 0, true);
_collectionNode.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.ITEM_RECEIVE, onItemReceive,
false, 0, true);
_collectionNode.subscribe();
* @private
* Handles the creation of a collection node if it does not already exist
protected function onSynchronizationChange(event:CollectionNodeEvent):void {
if (_collectionNode.isSynchronized) {
//Creates the nodes if they don't exist
if (!_collectionNode.isNodeDefined(START_CHAT_LIST) && _collectionNode.canUserConfigure(connectSession.userManager.myUserID)) {
_collectionNode.createNode(START_CHAT_LIST,
new NodeConfiguration(UserRoles.PUBLISHER, UserRoles.PUBLISHER, true

How to make previous chat history visible in new window

Hi people,
Recent Windows convert here. I am a loyal user of Trillian, and one of the things I love about Trillian is that when a new chat window comes up, the log from the previous conversation is visible within it.
So, to illustrate, it's a bit frustrating to have a conversation like this:
Me: Hey Mike, do you know how Sally is doing?
Mike: I am away from my computer
I log off or go away. Then a few hours later,
Mike: She hurt her foot
Me: Who hurt her foot?
You get my drift - if new windows had a little history in them, that'd be great. Now, I know how to save chat history, and where it is saved. What I'm wishing for is that it were right there inside the new window with some kind of divider to set the time/context (even a button to view it would be a step in the right direction). I'm guessing there may be an add-on for this, but my Apple Discussion and Google searches have been fruitless.
Any ideas? Thanks all.

HI ZigZagLens,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
I only know of a partial solution to this.
If I have a Chat open and the other end person goes offline when they come back my end uses the same window if I still have it open.
There is no way to reopen a close chat window AND add fresh text chat to it.
If you wanted this it would be a feature request.
I could see that it could be done two ways.
1) The Recents item in iChat itself could list the last few saved chats
2) An iChat Recents item could be added to the Blue Apple Recents item.
At present iChat open saved chats are added to the Documents list if they are reopened, so it will probably need both.
It is around this area that you might find a utility.
