Next Adventure - Text Recovery!

Here is my next journey  that I hope someone can help we with!!
I recently began using my I-phone 4 for business and have lost some text messages that were somewhat important!  I went back with Time Machine and restored ALL the back-ups that encompassed the time-frame I was interested in -  ***But, what happens if I delete texts BEFORE I synch and back-up.  Basically, I have "holes" in the record. I called AT&T and they said there is no way to recover these. However, I have seen some users here and there, and third party apps. etc that indicate it can be done?!  Some ideas were more complex than others - jailbreaking, etc.,  and many did not really ensure they would work.  I've gotten a few messages from people saying to try this or that, or they know someone who tried something, but has anyone had any first hand experience with a specific utility they might want to share?! If it cannot be done - then it cannot be done (I shouldn't have deleted them!) I appreciate the help!
Thanks

Trying to get them back isn't impossible, but it's a real mess. You would have to restore from a backup made when they were last present on the phone. If you deleted them in between one backup and the next, they are gone forever.
In the future, if the message is something important you need to keep for reference, copy and paste it into a memo.
If you tend to use your phone for business as well as personal use (I do) you may want to look into Google Voice.
It provides a separate phone number that will ring through to your phone and handles SMS messages as well. There is a free app and several paid ones to interact with the service from the phone for messages and phone calls.
You can set time restrictions on when calls are permitted to ring through and even have it ring multiple phones at the same time and transfer calls between them.
Also keeps your business contacts from getting your personal number.

  • Error in Get Next Non-Text Sibling for XML without CR at end of tag

    Hallo all,
    I'm having a strange error parsing XML files with labview. I have an XML file in one single line, without CR at end of each tag. A normal browser or XML parsing tool is capable to read it, but not with Labview.
    The error I have is with "Get Next Non-Text Sibling.vi", which internally fails to read Type property (Error -2630, Property Node (arg 1) in NI_XML.lvlib:Get Next Non-Text Sibling.vi->XML Get Siblings Childs Nodes.vi->Encode data to label (Path).vi).
    Labview XML parser works if I add a CR at each tag/node.
    I'm quite sure this is a labview bug. A workaround I have found is to open the file, then save the file with Save File (Pretty Print) method and reopen it again, but it is time-consuming and I would like to avoid it.
    Regards,
    Daniele

    Which node do you pass to XML Get Siblings Child Nodes.vi ? That is also important.
    I can imagine the following scenario causing your problem: Your input node has a child node C,, but this child node has no siblings. Get Next Non-Text Sibling.vi will fail in this case. If you put a <CR> at the right position in your XML you create a text node with content <CR>. If this text node is a sibling of child C then Get Next Non-Text Sibling.vi still won't return anything but no error should occur. IMHO this is expected behavior. You can however implement your own version of Get Next Non-Text Sibling.vi. Use the Next Sibling property and check if it returns a valid refnum.

    Is there any way to search text messages via the iphone serial number? I had water damage and had to replace, I thought I had backed up my phone to itunes but I can not find it with a text recovery system, wonderwall for itunes.

    No, the only way is that you have access to the old iPhone or you sync your iPhone to your computer or used iCloud.

  • Partially successful deleted text recovery

    Phone type: LG VX9100
    I was looking to recover a few deleted texts from this past weekend.  I know, there are a million forum posts all over on this topic.  I’ve read them all and still have a question. I downloaded BitPim (the fourth data recovery tool I tried) and I was able to recover four of texts that had been deleted. 
    However, it only recovered the four that I hadn’t yet officially read.  They were short enough to read in the Inbox of this phone.  When I’d realized what I’d done I immediately stopped sending or receiving texts to avoid "bumping" the deleted queue. I assume that unread messages just get held longer than read ones before permanent deletion from the phone. 
    I do consider myself fortunate that I even got that far but I thought if that’s possible, maybe recovering the other four is as well.  Any similar experiences?  Any advice?

    Unless you had the texts backed up somewhere, once deleted from your phone, they're gone.

  • "undefined" appearing next to text in CSS Drop-Down menu, why?

    Hello everyone,
    I am having a problem with a CSS drop-down menu. The menu works fine, as you can see here:
    http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/011.html
    But the text "undefined" appears next to the main menu options. My question is, why?
    I have narrowed the problem down to this chunk of code:
    <div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search</a></li>   
    </ul>
    </div>
    If you remove the rel="dropmenu1" portion of the code, the word "undefine" no longer appears, but then the menu doesnt drop-down anymore.
    Any ideas?
    If it is needed:
    Here is the CSS file: http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chrometheme/chromestyle.css
    Here is the JS file:http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chromejs/chrome.js
    Thank you.

    When I use FF to view the generated source, I see this -
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources undefined</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News undefined</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search undefined</a></li>
    The undefined is coming from the javascript functions that you have loaded in that external file.  This function call is what starts it -
    <script type="text/javascript">
    cssdropdown.startchrome("chromemenu")
    </script>

  • Lost WP Text = Recovery Possible?

    I've lost text in an AppleWorks Word Processing file. Here's what happened:
    I opened a new file, gave it a name, and saved it to my desktop.
    I wrote and perodically saved my work from the keyboard using Command-S.
    While the document was open, I then changed the file name by clicking on the desktop icon and typing a new name.
    Clicking back in the document I saw the new name replace the old one and continued typing.
    I typed several thousand words saving as I went along.
    I then quit and shut down my computer.
    Several hours later I started the computer and double clicked on the desktop icon.
    The file opened to the place where I made the name change. The added text, after the name change, was gone.
    Is this text recoverable?
    All this work was done on an iBook G3 running MacOS 10.4.6, AppleWorks version 6.2.7
    Thank you for your assistance. - Fabe

    Is this text recoverable?
    You did one of two things while this file was open in AppleWorks, renamed the file in the Finder or moved the File in the Finder, that will "break" AppleWorks' connection to the file. Unless you had a program running in the background that records keyboard input, I'm afraid your work is lost & you will have to re-do it. There are two user tips dealing with this:
    Dale Gillard - Document content not saved
    Vic Menard - AppleWorks fails to save properly

  • HT4168 How to create an ePub book with pictures next to text

    Before you say it cannot be done, that pictures have to be inline with the text please be knowledgeable on the example first.
    Apple puts out "iPad @ work" in an epub format that does just that.
    It has a logo on the top right of the page and appears to have ibook page selection below the page. This is not the typical ePub format, nor is it the typical iBook format. It is getting very frustrating to have people say it can not be done and not offer a solution as to how this book put out by apple, identified as an ePub book has this format.

    Hi Richard,
    In this community, "It cannot be done" means "It cannot be done with Pages '09."
    The document in question was, obviously, produced using an application oter than Pages.

  • Appending small search icon next to Text Field

    All,
    I am trying to append a tiny search icon when clicked works like the search button, i tried with basic jquery but didnt work can somebody help me on this?
    apex 4.1.1/oracle 11g
    regards,

    Why don't you use Pre Element Text or Post Element Text for that? Type in the tag for the image icon. If you need to add an event you could just add a function call onclick.
    Eg.
    <img src="/path/search.png" onclick="search()"/>
    In the search() javascript function you can describe whatever you want to do after a click.
    Cheers

  • HT201386 iPhoto text recovery in ios8

    I created a couple of projects in iPhoto that recorded the events with each picture. I need to extract the text from the journals. The text can be unformated. The alternative I believe is for Apple to allow the downgrade to ios 7 to have access to the information.
    Thanks

    Sorry, but you can neither access the journals in any way in iOS 8 nor downgrade the system to iOS 7 again. If you published you journal as webpage you can access it from your iCloud homepage.
    Send feedback to Apple to let them know that it is essential that iPhoto will be upgraded to work with iOS 8 to allow you to recover your Journals.

  • Nokia E63 text recovery without SIM?

    Hi,
    Can texts be recovered from a Nokia E63 if the texts are deleted and the SIM card has been removed? Not sure if the original texts were saved to the SIM card or the phone itself, what is the default setting?
    Many thanks

    In theory, with the right skills and tools, until the data has been overwritten. In practice, it is very unlikely that a regular user or even a normal developer can do it.

  • Image problems - inline, but white space in image next to text

    I've converted all of my images to be inline with the text in an attempt to correct alignment issues in various browsers. However, now every image is displaying as two pieces with white space adjacent to the text. What's going on? How do I fix it?
    http://mikegatto4assembly.com/Site/Endorsements.html

    Lucky for me I haven't an Apple Sore nearby, so I have to find solutions myself.
    The endorsement list is one long image.
    Solve it by creating separate textboxes with a photo with text left-wrapped enabled.
    Inside the textbox, add a second textbox with the name of the person and make the text vertically centered.
    Make the textboxes page wide and neatly place them one below the other.
    The image shows the outline (Cmd-Shift-L) of the textboxes.
    Typos are my mistake.
