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 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

    How do I recover a sms message that I accidentally deleted?

    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.

    how to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

    If you did the backup of your data before deleting then you can easily get back the data by the following steps:
    1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
    2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
    3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPad from syncing automatically." Because this will ensures we don't erase the previously stored backup. Then select ok and close the window after checking " don't sync"
    4. Now connect your iPad to your computer .
    5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
    6. Select version and click on restore from options.
    7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
    8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your data from iPad, including the deleted sms, notes, photos, music, contacts etc.

    How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Sometimes it takes longer than two minutes to get answer. Additionally, it's a support forum for Apple products, not Skype. You might get lucky and get an answer, you might not. While you're waiting, why don't you try Skype support?

  • I have an IPhone 3; when i checked my messages earlier some had been deleted. Upon looking at the settings i noticed my message settings have changed! I no longer have the option of how long to keep my SMS messages etc. Can anyone help?

    I have an IPhone 3; when i checked my messages earlier some had been deleted. Upon looking at the settings i noticed my message settings have changed! I no longer have the option of how long to keep my SMS messages etc. Can anyone help?

    The iOS settings for the iPhone 3 never had an option to determine how long you wanted to save messages. That settings is new to iOS8. As far as some being deleted, there is nothing about the phone that should delete messages without some user intervention. Try a reset on the phone, this will not affect your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

    How do I view backed up iPhone info through iTunes without my iPhone being connected to my computer/iTunes?

    I am trying to save/back-up the data on my phone (pics, contacts, etc) before I get a new phone. I was told at the store that they can only transfer my contacts to my new phone. I do not want to lose all of the other data on my phone.

  • Are there any other ways of backing up sms message...

    Hi, I came across my old N95 8GB and realised it has old sms messages from someone very close who passed away recently.  I want to sell the phone but don't want to lose my messages. 
    The problem I have is that I have tried every method to do this but all fail. 
    I have tried Nokia PC suite - just keeps showing 0 messages even though there are hundreds on the phone itself.  Same with conatcs just won't show up so I cant back them up but there on the phone itself.    Tried all the reinstalling stuff and updates and so on but have had no luck
    Nokia Lifeblog - Same thing, shows no contacts or sms
    Nokia Suite - This throws an error when trying to read contatcs "Reading the phone failed - "Reading contacts from Nokia n95 8gb failed.  Reconnect USB cable to your phone or connect via bluetooth.  Error code:80700004"
    When viewing messages it just shows 0.  I was able to view pics but nothing else. 
    I tried using xplore to manually find them but not sure where they are, I found private folders but they all seem confusing.  I 've done a soft reset, restarts, everything.   
    Can anyone give me any ideas how I can save these old sms messages even if its just on my pc, I just don't want to lose them.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    peterman50,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions
    First, sorry to hear about your loss. Is the N95 8GB updated to the latest version? Maybe you can try removing the existing Nokia Suite and installing an older version which is version 7.1.180.94. Make sure you run the software "as administrator" on Windows 7 and 8 and when the phone prompt, choose Nokia PC suite mode.
    If that does not help, try to back it up using bluetooth - dongle via pc or connection through a bluetooth enabled laptop.
    Good luck

  • How can I send an SMS message to a group?

    I cannot seem to figure out how to add a second recipient to the SMS message. I routinely beep out messages to the 5 people I work with, I'd hate to send it out to each separately.

    At this time, multiple recipient SMS messaging is not supported on the iPhone.

  • How can i save sent sms messages C5-00

    I cant see any sent sms messages on my phone. How do I set this up?

    They should be stored locally on the phone in the Sent folder (Mail, scroll down past inboxes, select Account, see Sent folder). But that's all.
    IMAP is really a better setup than POP if you are accessing from multiple places, but if IMAP isn't possible, the usual approach is to tell the phone to BCC you on all your sent mail (Settings, Mail, scroll down past the Accounts, tap ON for "always BCC myself").
