So I have the iPhone 4 and just updated iOS 8.1.2 on my phone using my computer, and now I can't find any pictures or messages from last Tuesday (1/6/15). How would I be able to get it all back?

I was trying to put more music on my phone, but iTunes said I had to update and restore my phone. The only reason why I update using my computer is because I use up too much space to update using wi-fi, and I'd rather not erase everything to be honest. I started around 5-ish on 1/12/15 and finished around 12-ish on 1/13/15. (I had to keep restarting my computer and phone to get the system update like the troubleshooting website suggested.)The last time I backed up my phone was about a week ago on 1/6/15. But now when I look at my text messages and pictures, everything ends at 1/6/15 as if I never used my phone since then. Honestly, it's really frustrating. I know that you have to back up your phone before updating and everything, but I just wanted to know if there was a way I can get all of my missing stuff back. Maybe I did something wrong?? I'm just hoping there's a way for me to get my pictures and messages back. I don't even really care about the update to be honest lol. Any suggestions would help!!

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

After the last iOS 7.1 update my phone is taking a really long time to receive and send pictures over messaging. Is there a fix?

iMessages or MMS?
MMS and SMS are exchanged over a carrier's cellular network only. Contact your carrier regarding a problem with MMS/SMS.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT204053 How can I have 3 iCloud accounts and keep all pictures, contacts, messages separate ?

I have one Apple account and would like to use iCloud. I would like to have 3 iCloud accounts. One for each person in my family. One person has an iPhone3gs, one has a iPhone 4, and I have a iPad and an iPhone 4s. I would like all pictures, contacts, messages to stay separate for each user.
Can this be done?

Welcome to the Apple community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
I suspect what you are wanting to do is all share the same account for iTunes and each use your own accounts for iCloud.

How do I transfer pictures from Messages on my iPhone, to iPhoto?

IPhone 4s, up to date on software. My daughter sends me adorable pix of our granddaughter through Messages. I can't figure out how to get them to transfer to iPhoto, either on my computer <MBPro> or even on the iPhone. Any suggestions?
Kris

While looking at the picture in Messages, look at the bottom corner for a box with an arrow in it, tap that and you can save the picture to the phone. After you do that, they will be in the Camera Roll and you will import them the same as you would any picture you took with the iPhone.

Display picture in messages totally pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

Hello,
I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway thanks for your help.

HI,
Thanks for the Path.
This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.

Can't take more than one picture through Messages

I've had this problem since I first received my iPhone 6 and I always thought it just needed a software update, but I'm beginning to think that even that can't help. Basically when I try to choose the 'Take photo or video' option when sending a picture through Messages, I end up with a black screen (not entirely a black screen, but where I should be viewing the photo/video that I'm about to take). I'm only able to use that option once throughout the whole day and then if I try it again some other time all I end up with is a black screen or like today, an image of the last picture I took using that feature. I've tried resetting and rebooting my phone but to no avail. Two other people in my household are also iPhone 6 users and they don't seem to have a problem with this feature. So, not really sure if anyone else has had this problem or it's just me. I wanted to consult someone here first before taking it to the Apple Store to have them take a look at it.

Something definitely wrong.
There's probably another fix but what I'd do is re-fresh Aperture, and that's easy to do.
Hold down the Alt+Apple keys while turning on Aperture and follow the prompts.

Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user get sent to my daughters iPhone as well. And I can text her but she cannot text me.

What is going on??? Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user also get sent to my daughters iPhone 4. And she can receive my text but cannot reply to me.

How to send a picture text message

New to the iphone but was always able to send a picture text message to anyone including my verizon friends with a LG phone worked great. However with the new iphone I try to send a text message with a picture and nobody receives it. Then I get a reply back that the attachment has been removed??? I don't want it as an attachment but a simple picture msg.
So the question is how do I send a picture text message to another person's phone
Thanks

The easiest way is opening up a message to the desired person and hitting the camera icon to the left of the message bar, where you will be prompted to pick one from your camera roll or take a new one.
You can also choose a current picture from your roll and select "MMS" when pressing the new message icon (arrow and a rectangle) in the corner of the screen.
If neither of these ways are working, check settings > messages > and make sure "MMS Messaging" is enabled.
If you still receive this error double check your AT&T account to ensure that your plan allows for MMS messaging.

After upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

after upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

Assuming you have Messages on. You can try two things the first is a simpler than the second. Go to this site https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, click on Manage your ID, log in and check if your Apple ID for your Messages and FaceTime apps is the the same as your primary email address. When I went there I saw a message that I should make them the same, for some reason they weren't, after I clicked on the submit to make them the same I haven't had any problem with either. Previously I kept getting signed out of both and had to constantly reenter my password to get them working. Quite a few times they wouldn't connect at all.
The second thing you can try is in Settings - General - Reset, and reset all settings. You will then have to reenter a lot of information such as account user names and passwords but this seemed to correct things for a lot of people. The first option is easier and worked for me so I'd give it a try.

IOS 5: regular messages are not sent if one recepient is registered with iMessage

There is a bug in iOS 5: SMS messages are not sent if one receipients mobile number is registered with iMessages.
This is confirmed by the developer of the team sms app: if you send a message to a number of receipients and one of the recepients mobile numbers, the message is sent do, is registered with iMessage, then none of the recipients will receive the message.
Does anyone know a work around until Apple comes up with a bugfix?
Regards, Til

I am not sure about the details of your case, but I can confirm that a message does send to multiple recipients even if one of this has iMessage. I recently sent a message to two people, one with a BB and one with an iPhone 4 (iOS 5 and iMessage working). Because of the difference, it resorted to the least common denominator and sent the message as a standard text to both people. I was replied to by both parties. Based on your description I can confirm that your detail is not the case.
Have you checked through the settings in Messages? Do you have a texting plan associated with your account? I am sorry if these questions seem stupid, but they are worth asking to verify.
I hope this helps!
