Messages deleting on their own

i noticed that after I updated my phone to the iOS8.3, my iMessages with people have been deleting within a few hours without me deleting them myself. However, my text messages from a month ago remain. I have my setting set so I can keep messages forever, but it obviously isn't working.

Ok, according to that, you're at 30.5 MB of free memory, so that shouldn't be the problem after all. There are a couple of other possible culprits, including corrupted databases (the most likely problem) or even a corrupted OS.
You can deal with the above issues in two ways, but regardless, before you start, make sure you back up your device memory first using the BlackBerry Desktop Software as both things will delete all of the data on the device.
The first option you can try is simply a handheld wipe. You can enable this by going to Options > Security Options > Security Wipe and wipe all of the data off the device (you can leave the media card intact). It may be slightly different on your device depending on your OS version. If the above option is not present, then you want to go to Options > Security Options > General Settings, press the BB Menu button, click on Wipe Handheld and when prompted, type blackberry to initiate the wipe.
The second option is more drastic, but it's also more thorough and more likely to resolve the issue the first time, and that's to reload the OS on the device. You can do this using the instructions outlined here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Once the wipe or OS reload is complete, simply restore your backed up data (to be safe, you can also just try manually restoring only the databases you need, such as contacts, calendar, etc using an advanced restore).
I hope one of these helps!

Why do some portions of text messages get deleted on their own?

Text messages on iPhone 4 seem to disappear on their own.

Hello clew1983,
The following article details a few steps that can be taken in order to get through the restore process (although the article does indicate 'when trying to sync').

All Text Messages Were Deleted On Their Own & I Can't Do A Restore

I have an iPhone4 and this morning I woke up and see that my laptop (windows) had been restarted due to updates. My phone was plugged in to the laptop because it was charging. I have a password on my laptop so once I put the password in, it is like turning it on and of course it starts charging my phone and itunes starts doing a sync. I did not know that my messages were deleted until I went to send someone a message and that is when I noticed all messages were gone except the ones that I just received this morning. I tried to do a restore but it said I couldn't do a restore because I didn't have enough space available(even after I deleted a bunch of stuff). Long store short, I been trying to fix this problem all morning and a few syncs have been done so I'm asking for help. Are my messages now gone for good? Is there anything I can do to retrieve them?
Side Note:This may or may not mean anything but my phone has been running slow for the last 2 days.

What do I do if all my contacts delete on their own?

This morning I woke up and all my contacts were gone. I tried turning my phone off and turning it back on and it didn't do anything. Then I tried taking my SIM card out and putting it back in and still nothing happened. What do I do now?

Mine did the exact same thing!
I got into iCloud from Settings and turned off contacts, waited 5 seconds, and then turned it back on. It took it just a bit, but they eventually came back.
Hope that works for you!

HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

I connected a friends ipod to my computer without syncing it. Now my apple ID is on their ipod. How do they delete my iD and create their own to be able to facetime and use apple store?

For Apple store go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sig in with correct ID
For messages go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached at and ad an their own unique email address and delete the common Apple ID address.
Similar for Messages too.

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

HT201269 Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. They have purchased music and apps. I need to set up their own accounts since when on my account they also get my ext messages. How can I set up new accounts and transfer what they purchased from my ac

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

I can't update iWeb. Error message: "The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges." I had received a response that gave me the "best" FTP, it was one that gave each iweb user their own support person. Need info again

I keep getting an error message, sometimes the beginning part changes but it always ends with the quote above. I haven't had the time to work ont his in a few weeks, but weeks ago I got a response that indicated the "best" FTP to use, because they give each iweb user their own support person with whom the user can speal everytime, instead of getting as new person each call/email.
I am currently with 1&1.co.uk, which was recomnmended to me by a friend who is much more website intelligent than me: he designs websites for a living. They may very well be very good for someone who knows what they are doing, but they are not so good for me or for Apple users. Since I am paying every month for not being able to get updates published, I would be willing to pay for an FTP which would give me, a novice, resal Apple support. I also do not want to have to completely redesign my website or loose my website address, so I want to transfer the whole critter to a new FTP.
Thanks

I delete people in my phone number but when I go to messages I found their number and name how I can delete them

There's no option to edit/delete the iPhone cache, the cache will be overwritten in time.
If you can't wait, only restore as new can get rid of it.

How to open multiple mail messages in their own windows

All:
Anyone know of a keyboard command to open several Mail messages in their own windows? For example, I can't highlight all messages in the Inbox and then double click one of them to open them all in separate windows.
Surprisingly, Mail lacks an Open... command.
TIA,

Just select multiple messages and hit Return.

How to configure security so users can delete their own file(s)?

I have configured our file server so that all users can write/modify in any other user's folder. However, it seems that they cannot delete their own file(s) in another user's folder. Do I have to give all users the "Modify" but not Full permission
so that every user can delete their own file or folder even if it's in another user's folder? I still do not want user A to delete/modify any files/folders that user B originally created.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on my research, if a user can rename a file/folder, then he/she can save it using the original name, there is no way to prevent this via permission assignment.
You may need to use scripts to achieve this.
Best Regards,
Amy Wang

On new IOS 7, when I message contacts, it selects thier old contact number, despite the fact I have deleted/edited their number in my contacts list. Only by going through contacts, can I message the correct number. The old number does not appear there, so I am unsure where "messages" is picking up the old number, it doesn't appear that "messages" is synching with "contacts". Any ideas how to fix this?
