Is there a way to restore an iPhone as new, but keep only text and imessages?

I've heard of iBackupBot, but that didn't work for me with iOS version 7.1.2.  I'm not looking to download texts and iMessages to a computer as a pdf file.  I'd like to have them right on my iPhone.  Also heard of PhoneView, but they don't seem to be able to load texts and iMessages back to iPhone.  Does anyone know of any other way, including third party software, to do this?  Thanks for the input.

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

    Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
    I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF.  The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well.  Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
    Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well.  Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over.  The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage.  Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead.  I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
    Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
    Thanks.

    No, that's not really an option.

  • Is there any way to restore an iPhone 4 from a previous backup?

    I accidentally deleted all my contacts from my cloud settings, prior to backing it up on the computer. I hadn't realized it until I checked my phone again. Now the current backup has no contacts. Is there any way to restore my phone from a previous back up?
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Every backup replaces the old one, unless you use one to back up from. So, if there are no more backups listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, or your last backup has been replaced in iCloud, your info is gone.
    If you included the backup folder of your computer in your backup routine, you might be able to restore backups done on the computer, see this article:

  • I upgraded my iPhone last night but at the end of the upgrade the Contacts were synched. This has replaced my iPhone contacts with my Windows contacts. Is there a way to restore my iPhone contacts?

    I upgraded my iPhone last night. At the end of the upgrade iTunes synched the Contacts, but all my iPhone contacts have been deleted and replaced by the Windows contacts on my computer. Can the iPhone contacts be restored?  The latest backup shows the time to be after the sync so we tried to restore the iPhone but only the Windows contact list is there. Can you access any previous backup files anywhere?

    Hello ymprice91277, let's solve this mystery! To unlink the Facebook contacts go to Settings, Facebook, turn off contacts.

  • Is there a way to retrieve original iPhone photo after it has been edited and saved?

    I cropped and saved a photo, not realizing the original would be deleted.  Is there any way to retrieve the original?

    The find my iphone app is not needed and has nothing to do with finding the iphone on which it is installed.  The app simply allows you to find your other devices from the iphone -  not find the iphone it is on.
    Find my iphone is a feature, no app required.  You do have to set it up on the iphone itself.  If you did not , then you cannot track it.
    The serial number is of no use in locating an iphone.

  • Restore iphone as new but keep text messages

    Hi!
    Ok, I have been told by genius that they can't do anything else to fix my issues until I restore my phone as new. I am actually keen to do this anyway as I have pretty much been copying from the original iphone.
    Now my main concern is finding a way of backing up my text message history storing that and then adding it to me newly restored iphone 4s.
    Has anyone found a surefire way of doing this?
    many thanks!
    Dave

    Hey! I already did it!

  • Is there a way to change the actual song file but keep the 'info'?

    I have a compilation that took me a really long time to edit (by which I mean put the date for each individual song in because they were all released different years becaues it's a Bob Dylan compilation and I have smart playlists for each decade from the 50's upwards) and I want to change the actual file in itunes but keep the data, is there any way? It'd take ages to do again because it's a 3-cd album. I'm trying to change the file because the one I have is approx 200kbps bit rate and i want to have a different, 320kbps version that i've downloaded. I've tried opening the file in explorer and deleting it so that i can 'locate' the file again to the one i want to replace it with, but it changes the song title, album artist, and tags etc to the new file, whereas i thought it would just retain the information but change the actual file it played.
    i've had a really hard time explaining this i'm sorry if it's unclear. i was just wondering if there was any way to avoid the painstaking process of googling each song to find its release date and manually entering it when i already have a perfectly organised album.
    i can't find anything anywhere about this, presumably because i've no idea what the key words for the search would be, so i'm sorry if this is common knowledge.
    thanks in advance

    VBR vs. CBR isn't a concern as far as the strategy is concerned. As given it is slightly easier if the replacement files have exactly the same files names and folders as the files they are replacing (case doesn't matter) but if that isn't possible we can work around that too.
    Not my area but I think CBR gives larger files and less processing overhead for the same quality, which is a somewhat nebulous term. I'm not sure there is any real benefit.
    Yes a script is just another kind of a program.
    iTunes gives each track in the database a unique ID and knows the path that the file is supposed to live on. If you replace the original file with a different file of higher bitrate that has the same filename then iTunes will use that new file next time it wants to play the track. When it does so it will also read the tag and update itself if any of the information is different.
    The original function of the ExportImport script was to help someone else rescue play counts from an old library database. If works by scanning through selected tracks and writing out a text file that contains an ID for each track and the data that wants to be copied back later.
    Here is a sample output from the export:
    <#>iTunes Metadata - Exported 19/12/2012 20:03:58
    <ID>E5C69360-306A28AF
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\1 Thunderstruck
    <Plays>12
    <ID>7C1D487C-3414298C
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\2 Shoot To Thrill
    <Plays>12
    <ID>0DCF32CE-1079174E
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\3 Back In Black
    <Plays>15
    Each block consists of the iTunes track ID, a comment so we humans can see which track this is, followed by one or more properties. I can write you a custom version of this script but I need to know exactly which properties you need to save and then restore. For example Name, Year, Genre, etc. You need to compare a new and old version of one of your songs and work out which fields need resetting in the new song to make it match the old one.
    Having saved a file with the information that would otherwise change, you can then delete the older copies of the file, or better yet move them to a backup location, then copy in the new versions. If the filenames match iTunes will "see" the new files automatically, otherwise my FindTracks script can normally fix the broken links. Once iTunes is connected to all of the new files you drag and drop the saved text file onto the ExportImport script to run the import phase. This applies the saved data to each track in turn.

  • Is there any way to restore an iPhone with a shattered screen, broken home button, with a passcode and no access to computer most recently synced with?

    I have an iPhone with a completely shattered screen (the display wont even show up, just a black screen), the home button does not work. I have a passcode on the device, but I have not synced the device with my current PC (I got a new computer and don't have any of my syncs from my old computer). I recieved my replacement device today, and want to back up the iphone before I activate the new device - but I get prompted to put in my code on the phone before it will allow me to back it up. As the display is completely black and does not appear to respond to touch, and the home button is broken so I cannot put it in recovery mode... What do I do? If I took the phone in to my carrier's store, would they be able to override the passcode and put my information on my new device?

    Sorry, no. Given the present state of your phone, your data is unrecoverable.
