Is there anyway you can transfer iMessage on Mac to iPhone?
So.. I forgot to backup my phone (latest backup was about two weeks ago), and I had to replace my phone today (iPhone 6) and now all the messages that I had from the last two weeks are gone. However, they are saved on iMessage on my mac (OS X Yosemite). Is there anyway I can transfer (or sync) messages from the computer to my phone? Thanks!
Messages automatically back up when you do an iCloud backup. To set your device up to automatically back up to iCloud:
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Settings>iCloud, scroll down the list, and near the bottom you will see Backup with an Arrow. Click on the arrow, and then turn iCloud Backup ON.
This will backup your device automatically when the device is plugged in, on the Slide to Unlock screen, and connected to Wifi.
Cheers,
GB

Is there anyway to recover my iMessage history from my iPhone to my Mac? Thank you!
HI,
Sorry I should have been clearer.
The only way to move any iMessages from and iPhone to a Mac is at the point when they are using the same Apple ID.
Older items are not included in this "Sync".
Messages on a Mac will read older .ichat files (Saved Chats).
It seems that the iMessages on the iPhone do get stored in any iPhone Backup and that can be used to Restore Messages from one iPhone to another.
People state that there are utilities for extracting the iMessages (either from the current display or the Backups) but I have not read that any will then enable the result to be imported in to Messages.

Hello Peyto123,
It is possible however to upload document to and from your ipad/iphone via a tool called "phone drive". (https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/id431033044?mt=8)
When you have this tool installed, and the transfer option enabled in the app, you can up- and download via an internet browser session from you computer/mac to the ipad/iphone. Very usefull tool, i use it for all kind of documents and photos.

I had my screen fixed by the manufacturer and they, for some reason, also replaced my hard drive. Is there anyway I can transfer my ipod's songs, ect to my computer?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music.
Use your backup copy to put them back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases:
Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Other than itunes purchases, the music sync is one way - computer to ipod. -

You are not addressing Apple here, this is a user to user support forum.
You can track the iPhone from another IOS device or computer only if Find My iPhone was activated on the lost iPhone. -
