Need to keep phone txts

What is the easiest way to take txt messages from my cell phone and save them o my computer?  I have upgraded to a newer phone but I need to attempt to save some important txts from my old phone.

If "my old phone" is an iPhone using the same telephone number, Apple ID, and cellular carrier as your new iPhone, the text messages will transfer over to the new iPhone when you sync the new iPhone to the old one's backup.
Otherwise, the easiest way (assuming "my old phone" is an iPhone) is to take screen shots of the text messages and save the screen shots on your computer.  You can take screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together.

  • Do i need to keep an old phone in my cloud?

    I just got a new phone and when I checked my iCloud storage, it says that my old phone is still there as well as my new phone.  Do I need to keep my old phone in my cloud or can I delete it?

  • If my photos from my iphone are on icloud, do i need to keep them on my phone?

    I can't download OS7 because I don't have enough storage on my phone. If my photos from my iphone on on icloud - do I need to keep them on my phone?

    You can delete any tracks you do not wish to have on the iPad and redownload them at any time. There is a setting you should be aware of, as well as a quirk (lets say design flaw):
    Settings app >  Music > Show all Music. This either exposes (if tuen on) or hides (if turned off) the un-downloaded tracks in Match. I have around 17,000 tracks in Match and find it useful to turn this off to facility easily locating albums already on teh device.
    If you choose to stream a track rather than downloading first, it will actually download teh track. Once this occurs, you cannot delete it by swiping. teh only way to remove it is to delete all tracks from the device via Settings app > General > Usage > Music. A bit of a pain and my only real complaint with iTunes Match.

  • HT4061 My phone keeps going into recovery mode. I've had rest 5 times now. I was told I need a new phone. Any resolution??

    My phone keeps going into recovery mode. I've had rest 5 times now. I was told I need a new phone. Any resolution??

    Maybe you should consider that new phone recommendation you got...
    Who told you that?
    Is the phone jailbroken? Was it hacked to unlock it? Has it been physically damaged? Did you get it wet?
    You haven't provided anywhere near enough information.

  • I have a verizon prepay phone, and i want to move to a 2-year contract, but i need to keep my phone number,mhow do i do that?

    I Am wanting to from a prepay phone to a 2-year contract, all through verizon, but i need to keep the same number

        You're starting in the right place, PrinessZeldaOOT!
    There are some things that we must share with you.
    As long as you have an active 3G prepaid service for 6 months or a 4G device (no restrictions) and pass the credit check and/or pay any required security deposit this can be done.  Any voicemails will be deleted once you are set up on the postpy system.  From there, you can call 800-256-4646 (800-2-JOIN-IN) or visit a VZW Retail store  http://bit.ly/3SdsA to complete the migration.

  • Which Calendars do I need to keep ?

    Here is the situation for my wife's calendars..  MBP has Entourage and that is the primary calendar.  We have that syncing to her iPhone. 
      We are on the latest software on every device. We had a lot of trouble gettign syncing going, but it appears we have everyting talking for moment.  The result of all of this is that we have multipule claendars on the iPhone and the MBR, though only one for Entourage.
    We sync via wifi and the phone backs up to iCloud.
    So now we have all of these calendars and I have unchecked most of them to get rid of duplicate events and want to start deleteing the extras.
    We have work, Calendar, Home, Entourage ( 2 of these ) unnamed and maybe a few more that I missed. Some of htese are under the heading of On My Mac and some under iCloud. 
    Which calendars do I need to keep?  We only really need one calendar that is synced to all devices. 
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    To which built in app are you referring?
    I own an iphone 4s, ipad2, and i have the same synchronization problem.  If I add an event on icloud, it doesn't automatically appear on  my apple devices.  Interesteingly, events put on icloud DO appear on my windows laptop with outlook.  Similarly, if I add an event in outlook, it quicly appears on icloud, but doesn't populate my iphone or ipad2.  ***.
    To address this, I have performed a soft reset, refreshed the calendar on my ipad and iphone.  In addition I have gone into settings>mail, contacts, calendars> and changed the sync settings of my calendar.  These steps were done in accordance with another post I saw here on the forums.  It fixed things temporarily, but now back to square 1. 
    Seems like an iOS problem. 
    Any suggestions are welcome.

  • Can anyone guide me how to sync sms on iphone to pc and also what setting need to be done to make sure sms remain in iphone indefinitely - need to keep record for work purpose. thanks.

    Need help from the expert on how to sync sms on iphone to pc and how to make sure that sms on iphone is not being deleted - need to keep sms for office record purpose

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • Do I need to keep 1GB plus of old updates

    While I was doing some housecleaning today I noticed I have almost 1.5GB of old software updates. Do I really need to keep them?

    Nope. You can always download a previous firmware from the internet if you want to roll back your phone. They are everywhere.

  • Need a new phone!

    So, do I have to pay full price if I want a new phone on the same account before my upgrade comes around?? I'm needing a new phone ASAP

    Yes, or buy a used one and BYOD. Any chance you, or a friend, have an old device in a drawer somewhere to use until you're eligible for an upgrade? Keep in mind, two year subsidized contract phones could disappear any day now.

    iphone 5c. $350
    so $875 to get out.  You keep all the devices. 

  • Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

    Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

    Hi,
    I have a similar question. I have backed up my external hard drive through my computer, onto my TC. When I go into TM, it doesn't show the external hard drive unless it is connected to the computer. Can I access the info from the external hard drive that is on the TC if I don't have the hard drive plugged in? If so, how can I do that?
    Thanks,
    Bernadette
