How to save text messages

I loaded IOS5 on my iphone 4 the other day and for some reason i am only getting 50% of my incoming txt messages.  Has anyone else been having the same issues?  Is there a way to save my current txt messages on my phone before i restore?  Is there a way to recover txt messages off the backups that get synced to my laptop?  I am running OSX snow leopard on my laptop FYI. 

There are many apps that can backup messages to your email account in the Play Store, though getting them cross platform to an iPhone may prove to be difficult. One thing you may want to try is to install Handcent. You can backup messages to their servers (though I think it may have a cost if you want to save mms) and, I think they have an app for iOS (make sure of this before you pay for anything though).

      You probably will have to use software and a cable to hook up to the phone and run to be able to do that. I have a couple of Samsung basic phones before, and the only way I could do it was to use DataViz? software before? I think that is the name of it?

    umm... you don't. SMS is a function of the BlackBerry, not your PC.
    There could a desktop software for SMS, but I don't know what it would be.
    **edit, well this looks like it would work.

    How to save video messages to a file on Mac? Please, help. Thank you.Claire

    Claire, I use a Mac w/ the latest copy of Skype and it IS possible to first play the file and then download it.  Steps are available for it but it involves some technical wizardry that can be above some muggles.   Then I found a post where some some VERY bright person made a small downloaded program for the Mac which once the video message has been played recently, you can run this program and download the file for safe keeping ( ALWAYS BACKUP or store it in the cloud for safety )  Kudos are deserved to user alvarop for this! http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Video-Message-Exporter-App/m-p/2351609 It worked for me to download a video message that I recently played back.  Let me know if you need any assistance getting it downloaded you can PM me on here and I'll be happy to help with a screenshare. Best Regards,-Shawn G

    Hello do anyone know how to forward text messages to your email???

    Very simple, at least on my Stratosphere. Tap on the message, then tap the Menu button and select Forward. In the To field, enter the desired e-mail address (or start typing a name from your contacts; it will pick up e-mail addresses from there). Press Send, and it goes.

  • IOS 7 Iphone 5s  how to recover text messages that were deleted in error. MMS IMMS ICoud Backed UP

    Is there any way possible to recover Imessage from the Iphone 5s that was deleted in error?  Does the Icoud back up and save text messages?  I have been looking for hours to no avail.  These messages are very important to me...

    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
