I need to recover all the texts from a contact I deleted almost 2 months ago.

Basically I'm dating this girl, and we text a lot, in the order of maybe 3000 to 4000 per month. After about 2 months she got a new phone, and without thinking I deleted the old contact on my phone because I was never going to need to text that number ever again. Anyways, after a few weeks of backing up my phone automatically through iTunes she suddenly said to me, "Make sure you don't delete all those texts we had, might want to look back at them and remember all the good times we had starting out in life..."
Is there any possible way to recover any of those texts? I looked at the folder that contains all the files for the iTunes back up, I can see there are many different dates for those files, but I'm if I temporarily move the most current ones will that mean I can back up to the older set? I can see files that go back almost a year, but I dont know if this is how the backups actually work.
I have iPhone 4, completely updated, not jail broken or anything like that. Any suggestions?

The backup is encoded as a SQLite database. It can't be read without special software. All the "files" you see inside the backup file are different components of the backup, not different backup files. I believe the reason that not all the dates match the date of the backup is because the backup file components are only updated when you sync rather than recreated from scratch, so not all the components are new.
To read and extract data from the backup you have to use 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

Can you delete all the text from one contact?

I have a BB curve 8330 from Verizon.. Lets say I text 10 people and I want to delete the texts from just one of those contacts.. Can I do a mass delete with out getting rid of all the other texts with out having to delete them one at a time?
I hope that makes sense..

two ways :
1)
home screen >> Search application
do a search by name (use menu to select the person in your Contacts)
uncheck everything except "Messages". "Messages include email, SMS, MMS (and maybe some other types)
---> you get all the messages from/to that specific person.
2)
home screen >> Contacts application
view the contact, open menu and select "View Activity"
---> you get all the messages & calls from/to that specific person.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan. How do I stop this?

I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan. What do I need to do?

I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
Sorry but you lost your money.

How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1?

How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1? I have a full system backup version from about one month before the switch , and mistakenly thought the new iPhoto would default to all my pictues as they were. I also have backups made in Time Machine.

Have you tried what's shown here? I suspect this will solve your issue.

Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

What is the application I need to continue all the applications from my creative cloud account?

Creative Cloud partial download, continue download,

Hi Jimm -
I'm not sure I understand your situation. Do you currently have a creative cloud membership? If you do, are you having problems installing the software? The Adobe Application manager is the program that installs the desktop applications for Creative Cloud Members - is that what you are using?
If you can provide some more details we'll be able ot help you.
Thanks,

I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes. What can I do.

I bought a new Ipod (5th generation). I am trying to sync it to my itunes. I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered. I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod. I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail. The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did update it to the latest version. How can I get itunes to recognize my new ipod?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

Copy all the objects from the one system that start with (ZANK)

hi to all,
I have installed the name space /ank/ in the US system, we need to copy all the objects from the India system that start with (Zank) and re-create them as /ank/. problem is how can i copy objects and re-create.
thanks

Hi Ankal,
I guess this is your second thread on the same question. Ok provide these information
>>I have installed the name space /ank/ in the US system,
Are you saying that you have a machine (US System) and i has a namespace /ank/ ? What all objects are there in this namespace?
>>we need to copy all the objects from the India system that start with (Zank) and re-create them as /ank/.
Is the India system on the same US system?
Also tell me whether you have opened the home page of SAP XI/PI? If yes , are you able to open Integration Repository? If yes then how these US and India systems are referred in Integration Repository? Are they referred as separate software components?

Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
-Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
-On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
(And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
Thanks:)

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

A previous and unrelated text always appears when I need to send a new text. This prevents forwarding texts also, which I need to do all the time for my business. How can I fix? Please help!

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

When I try copying some content from a webpage and paste it to quickoffice document or in e Mail. all the text copies but, no graphics/pictures. how to get them pasted?

I tried copying some content from various websites (open content from plian HTML pages) and tried to paste it in Quickoffice document as well as in mai application. all the text got pasted properly however the content had some graphics and pictures in it that did not get pasted. So, I want to know if there is any way I can do the copy and paste from website including embedded graphics

You will need to copy and paste the images separately from the text. Or you can try pasting into TextEdit. However, it should work if the editor can handle RTFD files as does TextEdit. You cannot copy images to a plain text document or editor.

I need to recover all the texts from a contact I deleted almost 2 months ago.
