  • 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

  • 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:

    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:

  • 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

  • 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!

  • How to transfer Messages history from Mavericks to Yosemite clean install

    I would like to do a clean install of Yosemite on my MacBook, but retain all of my Messages history and attachments from my current Mavericks install. Is this possible? What files do I need to copy from the Mavericks install (before I wipe the HD) and where do I need to put them after I install Yosemite (cleanly)? Anything else I need to do after copying them?
    Thanks!

    I managed to finally get mine to work, but not after a bit of trouble and losing new messages since my time machine back up (about a days worth since my backup replaced my current. I backed up and upgraded last night, and I figured out how to restore messages this morning, so anything in between that I got on my phone was lost. no big deal).
    Much of the below is from other discussions, so I don't want to take credit for it, but wanted to make it easy for you, and there was one small change.
    First make sure you can see hidden files by opening terminal and inputting: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    QUIT YOUR MESSAGES APP
    Replace the following files from your backup to your current clean install. Pretty much all the files should be in the same spot, except for one folder that I'll explain further below.
    Same File path
    /users/<name>/Library/Messages-------> /users/<name>/Library/Messages/ this folder should include 4 files:
    chat.db
    chat.db-shm
    chat.db-wal
    the folder "Attachments"
    /users/<name>/Library/Preferences----> /users/<name>/Library/Preferencescopy any file that includes iChat or Messages in the .plist
    Different File pathI am not sure if this matters, but it's something I noticed when I got a message in my clean install before trying to restore my history. In Yosemite, I noticed that that "Attachments" and "Archive" folder are both in /users/<name>/Library/Messages, whereas  in Mavericks, the "Attachments" folder is in that file path, but the "Archive" folder is located in /users/<name>Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/iMessages/Archive, and within this same folder there is a shortcut to the Attachments folder. (I'm not sure if this matters, but this worked for me). I hope I didn't confuse you there!
    /users/<name>/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive-------> /users/<name>/Library/Messages/
    Restart your computer
    Open Messages and it will rebuild your database.
    Ta da!

  • Recovery of skype chat history

    Hello, I'm wondering if I can get piece of advice for the following concern regarding chat history. 
    1. I did formatting on my system and lost all the Chat history of skype. 
    2. Is Skype organization taking any backup of chat history on their server... And if so then what's the process to get it back. Is any free service or even paid service available to get the chat history back?
    3. Any piece of advice would be much appreciated as I'm about to lose lots of important information saved in my chat archive

    ok i dont not understand how that program website is going to stop me from listening to 1000 beeps the first itme i login to skype on a fresh install of mint linux 17
    this is totall BS. and i think whoever the heck develops teh api needs to seriously fix this.
    because windows doesnt do that and why should skype.
    its bascially a god darn pain in the ass to even use skype for first 10 mins.
    I have to MUTE my speakers people. it sends in 100000 or more im not joking, and it IGNORES the disable history option i set every single time
    this close to making my friend boycott skype altogether while we stay in linux cause this is gay and stupid.

  • 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.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    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.
