HT1414 How do I back up SMS before restoring iPhone?

How do I back up SMS messages before restoring iPhone? It's an iPhone 4.  I don't want to lose that info, even if its saved as PDF files separate from
iPhone.  Just want to keep record of them if I can't keep on phone after restoring them.

when you connect the phone with itunes using usb
and sync it with the computer a backup of all data including sms's will be made

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Sorry, but it is highly likely that your data is already lost...so there is nothing to backup now. This simply proves the point that there are two kinds of computing device users...those who have lost data...and those who will. Backups before things go wrong are simply not optional.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • HT4946 how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes

    how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes or on my pc

    If they are included in the iTunes backup, you do not view them.  iTunes backups are not viewable, they are intended solely for restoring to an iOS device.
    If the device has been used as designed and the pictures were regularly copied off the device to the computer, look in the folders where you put them.
    If the device has been used as designed and contacts were synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, look in that application or cloud service.

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican  export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

    How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

    p.s. I don't know anything about the iPhone or the iPhone apps so I am not sure if they are stored in the same folder structure or not.

  • HT1414 My phone was never added to my iTune devises. now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before restoring to factory settings. I am a doctor on duty and i have to have my mob working

    My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.

    Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

    how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

  • HT1414 How long should it take to backup an iphone?

    How long should it take to backup an iphone?

    That's not really true. Open apps, except for the one you are actively using, use no power. They are in a suspended state. And killing apps in the Quick Launch screen does not necessarily stop ones with background processes from using power.
    What you should be using the Quick Launch screen for is to switch quickly between applications without having to go back to the Home screen and navigating to the app you want every time.
