If the phone was backed up to iCloud or iTunes before they were deleted, restore the backup. If no backup. SOL.

  • I was wondering if there is a way to recover deleted text messages?  I accidently deleted some messages and would like to recover them if I could. Thank you.

    Good day,
    I was wondering if there is a way to recover accidentally deleted messages off an iPhone 4s that does not involve downloading a third party program?  Thank you.

    Restore the phone using a backup made when the messages were present.

  • I accidently deleted some contacts that I need.  I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts in icloud. Is there a way to reload these deleted contacts using my IPAD and icloud?

    I accidently deleted some contacts that I still need.  Because of Icloud they are now deleted on all my devices such as my Iphone and PC (outlook).  I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts on Icloud on my IPAD.  Is there a way to reload these contacts from my IPAD back to my Iphone and PC using Icloud?  Thank you.

    Hi mth3333,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    METHOD ONE:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
      Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments!  METHOD TWO:
    Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
    Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
    Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
    Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
    PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!
    P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!!

    Press on any app and keep pressing until they all start to jiggle.  Then there should be a red delete bar on each one you can press to delete
    An X appears in the upper left corner of the app icon when you tap and hold down on it. There is no red delete bar

  • I just purchased my I MAC, and set up my aol and gmail to the desktop icon.  After deleting some messages tonight, I tried to shut down from the menu and received the message "Shutdown canceled because mail application is still open"--icon not working.

    I just purchased this IMac yesterday, and set up my two email accounts to the mail icon today.   This evening, after deleting some messages, I was not able to open the mail icon nor shutdown, restart, or log off the computer from the menu.  I keep receiving the message "shutdown canceled by mail application".  Really frustrating.

    Press Alt, Command and Esc keys to open Force Quit. Then, on the window that will show up, choose Mail and close it. Finally, you will be able to turn off your iMac

  • "you have a PIX or FLIX message"  How do I retrieve this?

    The reply below was in response to the same problem I'm having.  My phone isn't video capable so I got the message to go to vzwpix.com but I'm directed to the main VerizonWireless site.  From there I sign in and go to Picture & Video Messaging and I do as posted but there are no messages, in  fact there is no InBox.  There are only  Drafts and Sent folders.   When I click on Messages there is nothing.  When I click on the InBox tab (under the Messaging tab at the top of the page) I get a notice that I need to Sync and Connect but I don't have email accounts with either of the 4 listed.  Is this why I can't access the video, because I can't complete the Sync and Connect??

    Try following these steps and let me know if this works or if this is exactly what you've tried already:
    If you've received PIX/FLIX Message; go to www.verizonwireless.com/picture from any computer with internet access and follow the instructions. Access the URL web address via your PC to view the picture/video message. If you're a first time Pix Place user the received message(s)can be found under the left menu Navigation under Messages > then Inbox. These are temporary in nature and are only available for seven days after receipt. You can move these messages to a permanent gallery and either go against the free 75 message storage or just be stored, if you’re signed up for unlimited storage.

    Hello Diane_0225,
    May I ask have you registered for My Verizon before you received a notification on your phone? If so, then it may be a website issue. If not, then it may not have saved to the website. May I have you have the sender resend the video now that you are registered & see if the issue persist? I'm sorry to report that the original video may not have saved.
