Previous text messages deleting when getting new ones

Since updating to iOS7 I have been having problems with text messges. I sent a link from Safari to my daughter and it deleted all previous messages between us. My husband sent an imessage to me this morning and all prior messages from him deleted as well. Help is it a setting I need to change?

Are you sure you didn't just send the message to a different address for the same person, or to an address that isn't listed in the same contact as your other messages from the same person?
If you scroll to the very top of the current message window, is there a "Load Earlier Messages" link that shows the messages you're missing after tapping it?

Previous text always appears when starting new SMS

My wife has a problem with her iPhone 4s running iOS6.
When composing a new SMS, the text from a previous message appears in the window pane. We do restart, we turned it off/on but it is still there. When you reply to a text message, it will appear again from the window pane.
Any idea why is this happening?

One conversation with each person - at the present time anyway.
If an existing conversation has been started with a particular person, you can't create a new conversation for that person without deleting the existing conversation.

Keep photos old photos from deleting when sincing new ones

My ipod has pictureson it but when I want to add new file delete pictures already there and I wanted to keep those. Then when I download the old file new one is gone. Help

You can only sync one folder of photos to the iPod. If you then select another folder, the photos in the first folder are then deleted from the iPod.
What you can do is add subfolders to the one syncing folder. You can have one level of subfolders in the one syncing folder. Just add the new photos as a subfolder in the one syncing folder.

Photos delete when copying new ones

I'm a newbie, and am having trouble copying photos to my iPod. During the transfer process, the words 'deleting photos' flash on the computer screen, before the new file is copied. After the transfer is complete, I check the iPod and find only the newly transferred/copied photos exist! Where did the other ones go? How can I prevent this from happening each time? We are leaving on a cruise next week and I need to get this figured out since I'm planning on copying the photos from my camera's memory stick (I purchased a camera connector).

Sounds like you are syncing to a different directory each time.
Keep all the photos you want to keep on the iPod in the same directory and/or subdirectory.
For example:
C:\photos
C:\photos\roll1
C:\photos\roll2
This will keep all photos in each directory.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

Setting up iCloud with the same account data and switching on Photostream should do the trick:
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

Retreiving previous text messages from new iPhone

I was eligible for an upgrade from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4s. I went to restore my new phone, and it deleted all previous text messages from my 4s and only restored a couple of my apps, but not all. Is there a way to retrieve these messages and apps?

Thank you. We are trying the carrier. They are having trouble too but it looks like it might be them. Thank you again for pointing us in the right direction.

Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

When I send an outgoing text message, I receive a new text notification in the form of a badge on my text message app. Any ideas how to make this stop?
Specs:
iPhone 5s
iOS 8.0.2

Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id. Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.

HT1386 I cannot find how to keep previous photo albums loaded on Ipad when syncing new ones with iTunes. The old ones are wiped out every single time

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

Don't know. But have you tried the basic troubleshooting steps recommended in the User Guide? What exactly HAVE you done to troubleshoot your issue?

I might have omitted another requirement - sorry.
You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Help please.connected my current iphone to i tunes it syncd old contacts from previous job to new phone and deleted all my new ones,

Help please.
Connected my current iphone to i tunes. it syncd old contacts from previous job and previous phone to new phone and deleted all my new ones. tried to do back up from earlier restore in i tunes but there only seem to be back ups from my old phone not the new one prior to its first sync...

thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today? earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone.
