Messages and saving them...

Hi all who could possibly help me...
Basically I need to restore my iphone. If I do so will I lose my messages?? I have some that are mainly sentimental value so I do not want to lose them. If I do restore my iphone and lose them is there any way of getting them back? Any suggestions from pro iphone users before I push the button??!
thanks !!
P.s I have backed up all my music, photos, videos, apps, etc so its JUST the messages that I am concerned with.. ooh and maybe my contacts in my phone book
Dee.

Depends on what you mean by "restore your phone". If you create a current backup, then restore from that backup, the SMS's on your phone will be restored to your phone(SMS's are included in the iPhone backup). If you restore as a "new" device, they will be erased from your phone. You can extract SMS's from your phone & save them on your computer, using third-party software. However, there is no way to put them back on your phone:

Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
many thanks!

In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

I have an iphone 4, how do I take stored voice messages and record them to a stick?

I have an iphone 4, how do I take stored voice messages and record them to a stick? A family member passed away and I want to keep their voice.

Hey there!
Sadly, there is no way to do this.
I'm sad to hear you've lost a familymember.
Try this: Move in a quiet-room. Play his/her voice over speaker of your iphone and record it with free recording-softwarefor windows or mac.
Hope this will help you keeping the memory.

I have an iMac os x 10.4.11 but I am having problems with Flash Chat. About 3 weeks ago, I can no longer type in messages and send them in any Flash Chat situations. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Player 6 times but still have the problem.

TS2972 I am using Apple TV to wirelessly access photos from a folder on my desktop computer, but when I view them on my TV, some of the photos are upside down and sideways, even though I have flipped, cropped them, and saved them on my desktop. Help!

But they sometimes show up sideways or uspided down when viewing them on my tv, even thogh I have flipped and saved them in my desktop folder. How can I view them in the same format as I have them saved in my computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try editing them in a different photo program.

I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index for these documents?

If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) the program can perform an OCR on the document you acquired.
In the past I used ABBYY FineReader

How to loop through many XML messages and parse them ?

Hi All
I have been trying very hard to loop through many XML messages and process each of them. Let me first explain the problem -
Suppose I have the following String -
<xyz>
<abc>happy</abc>
</xyz>
<xyz>
<abc>new</abc>
<xyz>
<xyz>
<abc>year</abc>
</xyz>
I have to process each message within the <xyz></xyz> tag and find the falue of <abc> element (happy, new and year).
The extraction of <abc> value is very simple, I am using SAX parser's startElement() method to check every element's name and if the element's name is <abc> pick up the value. But I am not able to loop through the different messages within the <xyz></xyz> tag.
I am thinking of using another DOM parser -
DOMParser domParser = new DOMParser();
StringReader rdr = new StringReader(inputXML);
InputSource src = new InputSource(rdr);
domParser.parse(src);
Document doc = domParser.getDocument();
NodeList nodeList = doc.getElementsByTagName("xyz");
Now I can loop through this nodeList, but not able to. Is using the DOM parser and NodeList the preferable way of lopping through the messages, then how I can loop through ? Or is there any other way ?
I have been trying on this for quite a few days, but not able to. Can you please help me out ?
Thanking you in advance ....

Hi,
Try using the SAX reader from the dom4j package. The document object that you receive contains methods for getting the root elements and with that you can traverse down to the sub elements of it.
Hope this was of some help.

Samsung Intensity 1 Stores Messages and Delivers Them to My Phone 10-60 Minutes Later? Help Please..

I'm Kassie. I live in the Durham, NC area and apparently I have good coverage and reception here. Though, in my home, I text people. I'm a 16 year old, so naturally texting is my life. We've been with Verizon ever since Alltel was bought out by them. Now, my phone has been pretty decent up until 2011. In March, it started doing what my title says. This past weekend, it completely stopped sending me messages, but I got that repaired. There was a problem in the system. Anyway, while that is fixed, I'm still getting delayed messages and I'm unsure why. An example is when I was texting someone I know. The text messages looks something like this:
" From: [Insert Friend's Name Here]
I Just Saw [Insert Person's Name]
Stored:
Sun Aug 28, 7:03
Received:
Sun Aug 28, 7:21 "
I bolded and italicized the problem at hand with the text messages. I'll receive them at a certain time, but they'll be stored and I can't access them, because my phone doesn't show that I have a text message. I've done *228 options 1 and 2, but it doesn't do much. I have realized that if I make a phone call, it will send the messages that have been stored to my phone, but that gets tedious after a while. In addition to that, I never know if I have a text, so I'm left to call my voicemail repeatedly and may or may not receive a stored text message.
I'm not entirely sure what the problem is at this point. Perhaps it's my home? This only seems to happen in my house, but it doesn't happen to anyone else's phones (my family and I have the same phone). However, they do not text as much as I do. Though, I've noticed that the reception signals on their phones are constantly 1 bar higher than mine more often than not. I'm just tired of this happening, because I thought when Verizon eradicated the problem with my texts not coming in at all, this issue would have been resolved, but as you can see, it hasn't.
Could someone please help me?
Thank you so much,
Kassie N.

You said you text a lot - if your inbox and sent message folder is FULL, it could also cause delays. Try deleting messages, then restart the phone. It should work until the folders are full; then delete and restart, or just delete your messages every day.

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message and put them into a group in Contacts?

Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message header and put them into a group in Contacts?

Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
5) Send
If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

Is it an IMAP or POP account?
For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

Where are my photos in Lightroom after I have edited and saved them in Photoshop?

I'm using LR and Photoshop CC. When I export a photo from LR to edit in Photoshop and then save it in PS and close the file why doesn't the saved file appear next to the original file? I know it's in Lightroom somewhere, but I always have to close LR and reopen it before the edited file will show up in Lightroom next to the original file with the same keyword. What determines where the file will be located within the list of files with a particular keyword. It seems to depend on which external editor I use. Sometimes the edited file is not shown with the original until I close and re-open Lightroom, sometimes it will be at the end of the list of files with that keyword and for some external editors it will immediately show up next to the original file.

Anyone looking? Or has everyone given up on solving this problem. Apparently, most don't have this problem but no one knows how to solve or why it happens. Others have had this or very similar problems and no one has found an answer. Adobe just ignores my queries about this as is normal for them.
When I select photos in LR and Export to Photomatix Pro to create an HDR photo the saved result appears immediately next to the original files in LR. When I select the photos in LR and go to Photo > Edit in >Merge to HDR PRO in Photoshop the resulting photo does not appear next to the original files even though LR says they are in the catalog. After I close and reopen LR they will be there next to the original files. Photoshop is the only editor where I have this problem. When I use any other editors such as those by OnOne, Topaz, Photomatix Pro, process a file and save the new files shows up immediately in LR right next to the original file. When I process a file in Photoshop and Save it I notice the filmstrip in LR jumps but the saved file from PS doesn't show itself until after I close and reopen LR.
AAARGH!

Retrieving B2B attachments and saving them to a UCM server

Hi,
I have a requirement in which a BPEL receives a B2B message with attachments and saves the attachments in a UCM server.
How can it be done in a BPEL? My BPEL receives a B2B message with attachmetns, the attachment element looks like
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<Attachments xmlns="http://integration.oracle.com/B2B/Attachments">
<Attachment href="9f4c4afad5675d06:7ad8666a:11dbc3402a6:-7ff6"/>
</Attachments>
How can I get access to the inputStream of the attachments in the BPEL so that they can be saved on a UCM server.
Thanks,
Anil

Anil,
You may use following XPATH functions within your BPEL component to read the attachment content-
ora:getAttachmentContent
ora:writeBinaryToFile

Anuj

Opening messages and having them save on desktop rather than mail downloads

how do I make it so that when I click on an attachment in an email message, it will be downloaded into my desktop and not my mail downloads folder. when I had panther, it always just moved any documents or files I opened on the message directly onto desktop so I could find it and move it into the proper folder quicker. I never even used the save function on the message so the downloads folder on my dock would be obsolete. maybe thats why its there, but honestly it takes more time to do it like that so I prefer to just have the ones I need and want to open moved to the desktop as I open it for the first time.

I guess my question wasn't specific enough. Im actually talking about when I double click an attachment that is on the email and it opens with the correct application, the attachment then saves itself onto the Mail Downloads folder which is located under the Library folder. I think what you mean is when I press Save for my attachments, that I can change where it goes. Which is not my concern at this time. With the previous OS, I could double click an attachment and it would immediately save to my desktop and not the Mail Downloads folder in the Libary.
