HT3529 How can you recover text messages in iphone that have been deleted?

How can you recover text messages that have been deleted from an iphone?

If the phone was backed up either to iCloud or iTunes on your computer BEFORE the texts were deleted, restoring the backup will restore the texts to your phone.  If they were not backed up, they're gone permanently.

  • Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

    Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

    Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

  • How can I recover/restore recent history after it's been deleted?

    My daughter deleted recent history. My Facebook account has a layer of protection that stored my computer information. When she deleted the history, Facebook no longer is able to detect my computer and I am not able to log into Facebook. How can I recover or restore the history (everything)?

    index.dat is not one of the files used by Firefox, that is for Internet Explorer. You may need to contact Facebook to get access to your account again.
    Once history and cookies are deleted in Firefox they can not be recovered.

  • How can I recover texts & contacts on iPhone 5c after syncing it with an old iPod touch backup?

    I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.
    I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.
    Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.
    To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.
    I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.
    So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
    This seems pretty hopeless but I thought I'd try. Thank for your help.

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

  • How can i get back my contacts when they have been deleted?

    I tried putting music on my iPhone 5 for the first time and after doing it I realized all my contacts, messages, and photos were replaced with my moms contacts, messages, and photos that she had backed up on to the same computer. How can I retrieve all of the things i had lost?

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing them with? Are they still there?

  • How can I import XDCAM footage from files that have been taken off the card?

    Hi,
    I am trying to log and transfer footage that has been taken off SxS cards and put onto an external hard drive. I've downloaded the Sony plug-ins for my computer, but still can't import anything in Log and Transfer. Can anyone help?

    Was THE ENTIRE CARD backed up?  Everything?  The full card structure?  If not, then FCP won't see it...it'll say the directory structure is invalid.  IN that case you might need to use the XDCAM TRANSFER UTILITY...separate app that can transcode the footage to QT FCP can use.

  • When a single-page form expands to more than one page, can you reference the new individual "pages" that have been created by the expanding table?

    Don't think this is possible but would love to be wrong.
    Bullet Points:
    1) In my demo form (simple hierarchy: form1.page1.table1.row1), 8 occurrences  (instance "0" through instance "7") of the repeating row1 can be visible
         before it causes a page break and adds another "page".  No issues there.
    2) I'm thinking about trying to control the end-users navigation abilities to only on-screen "previous page" and "next page" buttons.
         (So no scrolling from page to page; keep them where we want them.) Only way I can see making this work is if the form is designed
         and coded to only allow one page to be visible at a time --- nesting things correctly in a parent object then hide all necessary subforms
         and only make the appropriate subform visible.
    3) But when working with tables,  when occurrence 9 gets added (aka instance 8), it triggers an on screen "Page 2" to be added.
         End user can now scroll between Page 1 and Page 2. 
    4) Once Page 2 has been added, is there a way to reference Page 1 (as we see it on screen) and set it to be hidden?
    5) Is what we are seeing on screen as "Page 1" and "Page 2"  actually this.resolveNode("page1[0]") and this.resolveNode("page1[1]") ?
         Tried messing around with referencing it this way but didn't seem to work.  Maybe I had a typo but if we never set the subform named "page1"
         to allow multiple instances, I'm guessing it's not referenced this way.
    Any thoughts would be great.  Thanks so much to this community.

    If you're looking at learning a bit more about database design (looking at your description of what you've done in creating a separate table for each category of item sold sounds like you're approaching it as though it was a flat-file rather than a relational database), there's a few books that I could direct you to:
    Beginning Database Design (ISBN 978-1590597699)
    Database Design for Mere Mortals (ISBN 978-0201694710)
    Databases Demystified (ISBN 978-0072253641)
    Absolute Beginner's Guide to Databases (ISBN 978-0789725691)
    I've also got an older book that's always sitting by my desk called Dreamweaver MX Databases (ISBN 978-0782141481), which I still reference regularly - chapter 3 on coding practices and chapter 5 on database design provide very good overviews of the subject.
    There's also a Database Development for Dummies, but I'm not a huge fan of the series where they're tackling technical subjects.
    Without knowing the data you're modeling, it's quite difficult to make generalisations, but I'd probably be looking at a single table called 'Product' (which contains all the product records), and which had in it a boolean for 'new item' and for 'on sale' (you could then use SQL to filter out new and/or sale items when you create your recordset). I'd then have a look up table called 'Categories' which held the values 'necklace', 'handbag', 'belt', and 'purse' which the Product table could then reference to identify.
    Breaking your data down into a logical structure like this is called 'normalisation' (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization) - although it's a bit technical. There's a simpler practical explanation of a similar query to yours at TechRepublic (http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5288500.html), which uses MS Access, but don't worry about that as it's teaching a concept which is applicable no matter what the database server.

  • How can I change the names of catagories that have been added to my music library?  Is it possible to change names or artists or gendre and how to do it?

    How do I change the names of artists or gendre in the itunes list after importing an album?  Is it posssible to change that information?

    Yes. Select one or more tracks (use ctrl or shift clicks to add/remove or extend a selection) then right-click or press CTRL-I to Get Info. Use the different tabs of the dialog to make changes.
    For general advice on getting things neat & tidy see my article on Grouping tracks into albums.

  • How can I retrieve pictures on my iphone that i accidentally deleted

    Is it posible to retrieve pictures that was deleted if I did not back-up on I-Cloud?

    If you synced to your computer, then you may be able to restore from backup.  You would lose any pics taken since the sync.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • Can you get information from an iPhone that has been remote wiped?

    Hello,
    My girlfriend thought her iPhone was stolen today, so she did a remote wipe so no one could steal her information off her phone.  It ended up that she had just left her iPhone someplace and was able to get it back. 
    Now that she's got the phone back, she's trying to restore it, but it looks like the iPhone was set to back up to iCloud, but never did because of an error (she had no idea she was getting), and it seems that since it was set up to back up to iCloud, the last iTunes backup was from before she got her iPhone 4s (so it's 5 months old).
    Is there anyway to pull information off of an iPhone after it's been remote wiped?  I have a program for pulling information off of digital camera memory cards that have been formatted.  Is there something like this for iPhones?
    Thanks,

    Sorry, no. Her data is gone, as designed.

  • How can I force iMovie to reload photos that have been edited?

    I put a movie together in iMovie and used many photos. Later I decided to edit some of them. I did that on my PC and resynced my photo library on my iPad2. When I go back into iMovie, it's still showing the old versions of the photos (pre-editing), which no longer exist. So the old versions must be cached somewhere. Is there a way to force iMovie to reload all of the photos.  I tried loading another iMovie project then going back, but that didn't help. I also had iMovie export the movie to the camera roll, thinking that it my reload the photos during that process, but that didn't work either.

    Just to be clear, iMovie is still showing old versions of photos that no longer exist in the iPad's Photo Library.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

  • How do I retrieve photos from my imac that have been deleted?

    I copied some photos of my daughter's wedding to a disc. The disc was somehow erased on the way to her how through the mail...and the process of copying to a disc removed them from my computer. Is there anyway to retrieve these photos?

    I'm wondering about your daughter's computer being ABLE to read the disc. Has she tried it with some other computer?
    To be clear, did the folder you deleted contain the 'Exported Originals'? I gather you did not delete the images from Aperture.
    In my experience, even "send master originals", does NOT delete them from my Aperture library. The masters sent are exact copies of the the originals.
    That leads me to another question. Is it possible that you copied original master 'RAW ' files to the disc and your daughter's computer cannot read RAW files?
    At any rate, your originals should still be in your Aperture library.

  • How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

    how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

    Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
    The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...
