HT201252 How do I recover old imessage messages that have not been deleted?

I have not deleted any messages, but older ones are not showing up. Is there a way to get these back? Working on a Macbook Pro

You can only restore the whole message database, not individual messages or conversations. This procedure will replace the database with an earlier version, so you'll lose all later changes.
Sign out of iMessage and all other IM accounts, if any. Quit Messages. Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. A folder window will open.
Restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes, then log out and log back in.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, also restore the subfolder Containers/com.apple.iChat.
If you don't have a backup, the archive can't be restored.

Outlook 2010 messages that have not been deleted are available in Recover deleted Items list

Hello,
Outlook 2010\Exchange 2010 SP1-clustred
I have looked at several mail accounts through Outlook 2010 client, they are not using the cached mode, they have not emptied the trash.
When I look in Recover deleted items I am seeing messages, mostly sent messages that are available for recovery, the problem is that these messages have not been deleted, they are
still in the sent folder.
I have restored one to see what will happen, it does restore to the deleted items folder.
It seems to random messages some sent to groups some sent to a single individual
Some Outlook 2010 clients I have checked do not show this problem, but several do including myself, I would have assumed that the Outlook 2010 client user had somehow deleted
it and restored it causing this problem if I did not see this on my own account.
Is this normal behavior? Perhaps some from replication or temp draft's
Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Since the post is over two year old, I'm not sure manotelli is still following it, but I think he is talking about something else:
1. He starts a message and does not complete it (or send it).
2. The message is saved as a draft pending completion.
3. Once he completes the message and sends it, there is an autosaved version that is deleted.
I'm not sure what relationship exists between the "draft" which (I would think) is what is ultimately sent when the message is completed and whatever is sent to the recycle bin.
It has nothing to do with webmail (OWA) or any form of remote access.

Is there a way to delete certain messages that have already been deleted?

I have some deleted messages that I want permanently deleted. Is there a way to delete individual messages permanently?

If you do not have a backup, it's gone no matter who deletes the messages.
If you have a backup, you can restore from that backup to retrieve the messages.

How do I recall old text messages that have disappeared from my phone?

I want to recall a text message which pre-dates the text messages existing on my Samsung S5? I presume that all text messages are held by EE for a certain period of time, and I would like to know how to recall a particular one.

Unless under settings you have made sure that they are backed up, then you will not be able to get them back. Have you checked the settings for messages? I know this is possible with the Lumia phones, but no idea with Samsung.

Did you back it up first? If so, are you willing to restore your iPhone back to the last backup?
If you didn't back it up, it's gone.

If you backed up the phone to either iCloud or iTunes before deleting the message, restore the badckup. If it wasn't backed up, it's gone, gone, gone.

Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge
