My IMessage won't keep prior messages.

I Have an IPAD! An IOS 7.2, and love it. I have read through the Apple IPAD manual and cannot find anything on how to save IMessages. It isn't doing it automatically. I read the Search instructions, but nothing. What am I doing wrong? PLEASE HELP, AS THERE ARE MESSAGES I would like to retrieve and can't, plus not saving except one recently. Thank you.

I Have messages that are over 6 months old. As far as I know, the Messages will stay in the list as long as you don't delete them on your own. There is no setting that you have to enable to ensure that messages are saved. Did you swipe to the top of the list in the messages app and tap on Load More Messages?

  • Mail won't keep sent messages

    Having been long frustrated with my AOL account, I recently decided to open an IMAP account with Mail. Everything works great with one exception: It successfully sends my emails and attachments, but doesn't keep copies of anything in the sent folder. I've tried preferences:Mailbox behaviors, unchecking and then checking the box to save sent messages on the server. Yet they still don't show in my sent box. I need to keep track of my outgoing messages, so this makes Mail worse than useless to me. What to do?

    Lynn,
    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions. You likely have a very different issue:
    If you are running 10.3.9, as your info reports, you most likely have an Overstuffed Mailbox, meaning it has become large enough to be a problem for Mail to properly index. Read the User Tip linked below:

    How large is this mailbox when you check it?

  • Push notifications and iMessage won't work on iPod 4th gen refurbished after updating to last ear iOS

    My iPod has been working well for a while other than the battery draining very quickly. But just today I updated to iOS 6.1.3 and all of a sudden iMessage won't deliver the messages and my push notifications aren't showing up! I don't know what is making this happen, but this along with the battery issue is driving me crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • Using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV

    using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • Games won't open, keep getting message that it can't connect to Games Center even when opened thru same; reset and reboot not help; any suggestions?

    I keep getting messages that the games cannot connect to the game center.  Even when I try to open using the "play" incon in the Game Center, I get the same message.  The message refuses to do anything when I press either "cancel" or "retry,", it just sits there and the game won't open when it appears.
    I have tried resetting the IPad, turning it off/on; re-syncing, etc., and nothing seems to work.   Can any one suggest a way to get the stupid Game Center message to close or some other method to open the game?
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • IMessage won't work and no notifications at all for any messages please help

    iMessage won't work I know there is a problem but now I'm not getting any text notifications please help! Won't even vibrate

    If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

  • Cannot sync my ipad . . . keep getting message " requires version 10.6.3" or later . . . I've already downloaded 10.7 to my mac . . . won't recognize Ipad either . . . help

    Cannot sync my ipad . . . keep getting message " requires version 10.6.3" or later . . . I've already downloaded 10.7 to my mac . . . won't recognize Ipad either . . . help

    I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
    I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
    These are the error messages in order.
    1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
    3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
    Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
    Thanks so much in advance.

  • Imessage and facebook chat keep transplanting messages

    my facebook chat, and more recently my imessage app, have started pulling messages from earlier in the conversation and inserting them into current conversation. not only is it annoying, but it also makes conversations incredibly confusing since there is no indication of whether the new message is a transplant or an actual message. i have a 4th gen ipod touch with the most recent version of ios 6 installed.
