Is there a way to transfer SMS and iMessages from iPhone to Mac, without paying for a 3rd party program?

Ive Googled a few site that have free programs but all charge to transfer files. ive tried "iMacsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer" and that failed. Is there an easy way???

You can take screen shots of the messages on the iPhone, and then transfer the Camera Roll screen shots to your Mac.

  • How to transfer SMS and Contacts from iPhone to Mac?

    I want to transfer my all important SMS and Contacts to computer on Mac because the box is full for a few days.So i am looking for the effective program to help me back up my stuffs. Having said that, any suggestions for a good iPhone manager/iPhone transfer software,which is better to be free without payment.
    I'm desperate any help would be appreciated...

    Google "PhoneView" or "iPhone Explorer" but you should be syncing your contacts with your Mac's Address Book anyway via iTunes or MobileMe. That's the way it is designed to be used.

  • How To: Synch Notes,SMS and Whatever from iPhone to Mac

    When I saw that Mark/Space was planning to release a version of Missing Sync for iPhone my first reaction was: what for? But as it happens I think they've hit upon some needed features that are actually missing from the out-of-the-box iPhone experience. First is a Migration Assistant for moving contacts, calendar entries, and photos from a Palm, Windows Mobile, or Blackberry device onto your Mac and thence to the iPhone. It also syncs your SMS messages and call log to your Mac so you don't lose information when you hit the storage limits on the iPhone. Best of all, perhaps, is Notes syncing, which will allow you to view iPhone notes in Yojimbo, Entourage, or Mark/Space's Notebook application. Unfortunately, however, it appears that it's only one-way, from the iPhone to the Mac, and not vice versa. This lack two-way Notes syncing remains a puzzling lacuna as far as I'm concerned, and I'm looking forward to somebody, whether it be Apple or Mark/Space, filling this obvious hole in the iPhone feature set.
    Missing Sync for iPhone won't be available until the 4th quarter and will sell for Mark/Space's normal price of $39.95, but crossgrades will be offered from other Missing Sync products.

    Hi, Santosh..., and welcome to the Community,
    I would recommend testing the SMS reply forwarding to your mobile number.  Depending upon the results and if this works for you, you could then contact Skype Customer Service to cancel and request a refund.
    In other words, SMS will be received via your mobile number, not via your Skype Number.
    Regards,

  • What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

    What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
    I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

    The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
    Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
    Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
    It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
    Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

  • Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

    Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?  Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from  my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to.  Is there a way to change this?  Are others having this issue?
    Additionally,  previous iMessages sent or received from those  devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP.  I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
    Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

    First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
    With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
    A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
    If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT1420 how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    If you use the LiveSDK to authenticate the user and specify the wl.signin scope, when the user signs into your app and provides consent to single sign-in when they can go to any Microsoft Account supported app or website they will not have to enter their

  • Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout

    Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout, so you can say put some recently downloaded singles off the net into your own various  folder without messing up the whole neatness of all the other album covers by adding fifty plus single covers...
    ie. I just dropped a Naughty boy La la la single into my perfect looking iTune library and it does this...
    Adds it as an album cover with no pic, and even if I add a pic, it isn't an album anyways!
    I realise I can probably create and rename every single downloaded single to exactly the same info etc, but this is sooooooooo long winded!
    Please help! everything else works perfect apart from this!
