How to recover text messages that appear in the spotlight search ?

Hi,
I've somehow lost all my text messages, but they still appear in the spotlight search. Does anyone know how to recover them ? Any help will be much appreciated since I really need most of those texts. Thank you.

First of all, it is possible to recover iMessage from the iPhone 5s. If you have turned on "iCloud Backup" before, all messages would be synced to the cloud automatically. You can follow the official guide for more details:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Or you can restore data from the latest iTunes backup to your iPhone, maybe the texts that you want are there

    You can only iMessage iDevices.

  • How to retrieve text messages that I mistakenly deleted??(Please help!!)

    I've had the Verizon VX8300 for 3 years since 2007 and I have upgraded to the HTC Incredible Droid and received it as a Christmas gift on Christmas morning. When my dad was disconnecting the old phone, I figured that it would be automatically transferable because everything else transferred like my contacts, voice messages, pics, etc. I was looking through old texts and accidentally deleted all of my texts that I've kept for souvenir and they were very memorable and special to me from friends/family. Now I was wondering if there's anyway I can get this data back whether it's getting a printout or using an online free trial of a text message retriever like Asfotech, Bitpim, or Wondershare Data Recovery. I've went to 3 different Verizon stores and none were helpful and didn't even bother looking at my old phone.
    PS: I know you need like a court order or a subpoena but that is extremely silly and unnecessary because would I honestly need a court order just to retrieve harmless innocent messages like "What's Up?" or "How's it going, man?". Someone said that Verizon archives the messages and it's my privacy so I should have the right to get a printout of MY messages and it would be so messed up if Verizon wouldn't let someone look at their OWN text messages on their OWN phone if they deleted them on accident. It's not like they would be invading my privacy anyways all they would need to do is print them out without looking at them. I have nothing to hide anyways so it wouldn't be a big deal to me.

    I understand what you are saying but whats to say for example the account owner (a parent) decided to have all the messages retrieved for them of their child who is on the account??? Verizon has NO IDEA if that person is their child, relation, boyfriend, employee..... That is why court orders are necessary.
    But in your case unless the messages you want are from the last 6-10 days, they are (as Ernie Harwell used to say) "LONG GONE" from Verizon's servers.
    I know the feeling of losing texts you planned to keep. A few months ago, I was playing with force closing apps and in doing so deleted a bunch I was keeping. That is why I found an app to sand messages to an email address also.

  • IMovie '11 How do I recover a project that appears within the IMovie Projects folder but does not show in the Project Library?

    I have had my MBP for just over 3 months now!  Yes, I made the switch and up until now I have been quite happy.
    I now have my Time Capsule, Apple TV running and am generally getting used to life as a Mac user.............even bought Aperture and loaded all the family photos.  Now time to make some Travel movies.
    I have been working on a particular IMovie project for a few weeks now.  Size is 365MB.  Yesterday I closed IMovie and when accessing later that project is not available in the Project Library window.  It does appear in the IMovie Projects folder but I cannot open it.  I have copied the file to DVD just in case.  All up I have 4 Projects, the other 3 are practice files, smaller but they do appear in the Project Library.
    I have scoured the bulletin boards and tried many suggested fixes to no avail.  Main suggestion was to remove the following files from Library/Preferences
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    However, this did not sort out my problem.  In the end I put back the original files.
    Does anyone have a straightforward fix for my problem or is this one of those ongoing issues that that needs Apple's attention. 
    After all the file is there with the others.  They are available.
    I realise that I can restore from Time Capsule but I am missing the last three days thanks to 'drop out'.
    Thanks.......

    Yes, considering we have an ongoing 'glich' within an Apple program with no obvious solution, we should be able to direct it straight to an Apple rep.  I will peruse this possibility when I get a moment.
    You can report the problem by providing feedback to Apple. In the iMovie app, from the menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback. This will take you to an Apple page where you can complete a form and submit it to Apple.
    The fix for this will probably turn out to be simple/easy.....................so why doesn't Apple comment and/or address it????
    Other than the forum moderators, Apple doesn't normally monitor these forums, nor make comments on posts. So, it's up to us to report the problem to them directly (using the feedback form mentioned above).
    As the problem has affected me just the one time (touch wood), I haven't bothered to report it as yet. But, after seeing your posts on this, I'm now reconsidering that. Something must be triggering it. My system is in pretty good shape, so I'm guessing it must be a glitch of some sort, either in Mountain Lion or in the iMovie app itself. Perhaps it's a 3rd party app causing the problem? It doesn't give us much confidence now, in that we may start worrying about losing other projects.
    A good practice is to duplicate the project from time to time (something I'll be doing more of), although Time Machine backups also provide the necessary security. To duplicate, in Project Library view (where all the projects are listed) click on the project name so that it is highlighted, then select File > Duplicate Project. Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Of course, you may already know this. Duplicating probably won't guarantee that the copy will not also disappear from the Project Library, but is worth doing anyway.
    As I mentioned in the post I linked to earlier, when the problem arose with my iMovie project I was using ProRes 422 clips I had imported from a Final Cut Pro X Event. My immediate thought was that ProRes 422 had caused the problem. But this of course may have been coincidental - reinforced now by your experience, where you are probably working with Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) clips.
    Anyway, glad to hear that you've recovered your project through Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to start from scratch as I had Time Machine turned off during my editing sessions (that's a story for another day).

  • How to recover text messages after iphone 4s restore?

    Hey! It's my first post so ... here I go ...
    I was wondering if there is a way of getting my text messages and imessages back. My iPhone 4s was 'acting weird' so I decided to run a restore, contact list is OK but all of my messages are gone. I was planning to restore my iPad 3 as well but now I'm afraid that my imessages will disappear too.
    Thanks in advance

    Dude,
    I think you mean Iphone 4s?

  • How do I get PDFs to appear in the site search results?

    I have read that the BC site seach will show PDF files in its results - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5077569.
    I have added a PDF via the media dowloads and added the litterate to a test page via the module {module_literature,a,}. I then reindexed the site, however when I search for something I do not get any results.
    The site search is set up to search "Entire Website (including Secure Zone)",
    Any ideas why this doesn't work?
    Thanks
    Dean

    Hi Dean
    PM me the site url and few details as how you are trying to search as it should work fine.
    You can create media downloads and then in site search if you use keywords such as download name then it should return the result with links corresponding to media items.

  • What is the text bar that appears on the bottom and how do I remove it?

    Hey everyone,
    Ever since I got the most recent Safari update when I try to type in another language other than English this strange bar appears and doesn't let me type on the website itself. I tried typing and pressing enter but that doesn't do anything either... when I click the little button on the left side it closes only to come back when I try to type in another language again.
    It seems like it only happens on that website so far (typing in English works fine though) but it's just that it's never happened before until today (a day after the update I think). Does anyone know what it is and how to turn it off?
    I can type in another language then copy and paste, but it's just really annoying and tedious! If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated!

    I doubt it.  When you say "other language" you mean Japanese or Chinese, right?
    Long ago various apps could only input Asian scripts via that bar below and not "inline" as we do now.  I don't know what causes this to reappear.
    Does Firefox work?
    If you set up a new user account, does they same thing happen when logged into that?

  • How to remove text box that appears with a red pin in maps?

    In Apple maps, when I type in an address, it comes up on the map with the address in a text box and a red pin below it.  I've read that you need to delete the address in search to get rid of the red pin.  I want to get rid of the text box so I can see the map around the address I am searching. The text box blocks a lot of the area if you are trying to discern where on a street this address is, etc.   How can I do this?
    thank you,
    Michelle

    Thanks for the idea.  I did it as far as it would go and it is actually covering the area I'm trying to see.
    Knowing that if I clear the search, the area is visible.  However, when I tried it and did some adjustments to the app, changing they view, it jumped back to my home address so I had to start over.  I assumed there was a way to keep the pin so I don't lose my location and clear the text box as we don't need to keep seeing it as it is up in the info bar.  It sounds like this is not designed into the app.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
