Question about iMessage retrieval when messages are visible with "Search" feature

Hello everyone,
Today when I got off of work, I noticed that over 1,000 iMessages from my girlfriend had been deleted, dating as far back as when I purchased my iPhone 4 in June. Of course, I am in the process of freaking out, as we had some great conversations in there that I would like to save. The last time I backed up my iPhone was in September.
The thing is, when I search for her name with the iPhone "Search" function, all of those conversations appear as if they should be in the iMessage list, but they are not. Is there anyway for me to exploit this and restore these iMessages onto my phone?
I'm an Air Force pilot in Texas and don't get to see her much, so I would love to be able to save these messages. I also went to school for electrical engineering, and I'm stumped.
tl;dr iMessages accidentally deleted but still appear in the iPhone "Search" function - is there anyway to restore them?

Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of.  The cached data you are seeing in Spotlight search is separate from the messages data on your phone, and you can't restore from one to the other.
Messages are, however, included in the iPhone backup (whether done with iTunes or iCloud).  If these messages were on your phone when you last backed up, restoring to the entire backup should recover them.

    do you know what it means when messages are blue on iphone

    Green messages are normal SMS messages and consume your carrier's SMS plan messages. Blue messages are those sent via the new iMessage service and are sent over a wifi or data connection. They do not count toward SMS limits, and can be sent to anyone with iMessage activated on any iDevice - iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

    Im doing a drumming music video and with the multi cam clip all the angles are nicely sync'd top the audio.
    Problem is if i want to have 3 angles on top of the main shot, im gonna have to re-sync them all to get them to line up manually. If i could use the multi cam clip they will already be aligned

  • How to backup a rootenv when there are subfolders with DBs?

    Hello,
    Is there any way to hotbackup a rootenv with databases when there are subfolders with databases?
    When I run a hotbackup (with db_hotbackup) on my rootenv, it only backups databases from the root of my rootenv. But, in that root directory, I have some subdirectories with databases too.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    If you have root directory as : */your/root/dir*
    and within that you have folders like : */your/root/dir/sub1* and */your/root/dir/sub2* and would want to backup the db files in */your/backup/dir* then, you should invoke db_hotbackup as
    db_hotbackup -cv -b /your/backup/dir -h /your/root/dir -d ../dir/sub1 -d ../dir/sub2
    Regards,

  • Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

    I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
    First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
    In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
    Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
    I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
    Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
    Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
    Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
    Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
    Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
    Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
    If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
    There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

    Hey Taantumus!

  • Answer to question about "Error Occurring when convertion is tried for PDF to Word Document"

    There are about ten questions about the "Error Occurring" when  using Abode Reader XLto convert a PDF to a Word Doc, but no one has the answer? It has something to do with "signing in  the wrong address". I have been working on this three days Now! Soimeone has the answer? Cataloochee

    You must be kidding to say, "Adobe doesn't convert any version of Adobe Reader."'  I must be in another world! When i move an Adobe Reader file pdf that goes to a wIndow that the top line says,'' Adobe reader X1 1001 Early Dutch History. pdf ". Then i click on the far left yellow marked icon that is used to move 1001 Early Dutch History.pdf to thye far right into a gray colored slot that reads "1001 Early Dutch History.pdf'. Under the file above  or down below, the selected File for conversionis, a selection gray slot that ask if you want to convert this file(pdf) to a .docx.,.doc, tex. or Excell. After I make the selection and click onto Convert, a message comes into view where the word convert was that reads "An Error Occurred wilth Signing In  OK" Even the use of another pdf file with a complete different address produces the same message. There are eight chapters in Dutch that I need to convert to word document by tommorrow or the class i teach "the Origin of Golf" will have to listen in Dutch and I can't speak Dutch. Cataloochee

  • Is IMessage free when messaging internationally?

    Is iMessage free when texting internationally?

    If you are on wifi then correct there will be no charge.
    As for the settings in the iPhone I don;t have mine in front of me right now but turning off SMS should limit the messages to wifi. In addition you can also turn off doing any or most data transfers if you are not connected to wifi to limit what data goes over the 4g

    You don't give enough information to do more than discuss the issue in general terms.  
    You should be able to read your email wherever you can get an internet connection.
    To send email, it depends on the email provider you are using.  Gmail and other web based mail should not have any issues.  However, if you are attempting to use an account that uses your ISP's mail servers, you will probably not be able to send mail.  You may want to check with your ISP in that case, to see if they offer webmail.  
    Hope this may have answered your question.

  • A question about CRL retrieval over HTTP

    Hello
    All<o:p></o:p>
    Can
    someone please help me with the following question<o:p></o:p>
    At the moment I have a couple of Windows 2003 R2 Servers with Microsoft
    Certificate Services installed (e.g. domain joined enterprise CA infrastructure). <o:p></o:p>
    The CDP extension of issued certs contains both and LDAP path and HTTP path to retrieve the CRL
    the HTTP path being the standard <o:p></o:p>
    URL=http://<CAServer FQDN>/CertEnroll/ENTRootCA.crl<o:p></o:p>
    and LDAP being the usual location in AD<o:p></o:p>
    Now I need to turn off the 2003 R2 CA in the near future and want to be sure the
    clients requesting a CRL can still obtain the CRL.<o:p></o:p>
    The CARoot Cert is already distributed to all the workstations (as is the SubCA cert) to the usual containers.<o:p></o:p>
    The LDAP Path comes first in the list of CRL locations in the CDP extension followed by the URL location.<o:p></o:p>
    I know (believe) in general a UA (user agent i.e. WEB Browser) with check the list of CRL locations in turn and as long as it can reach one of them will be OK.<o:p></o:p>
    I am OK on the Windows side of things but we also have a UNIX/Linux environment (like most companies) that also utilize certificates issued by the MS CA’s therefore their respective UG will
    (or should that be might) check the CRL via
    the CDP.<o:p></o:p>
    If I turn off the CA then the HTTP path in the CDP will no longer be available (LDAP will still be available).<o:p></o:p>
    I just want to check if there are any UG out on the network using HTTP to retrieve the CRL, so I was thinking about checking one or more logs on the CA for HTTP traffic regarding CRL retrieve.<o:p></o:p>
    Questions<o:p></o:p>
    Is CRL retrieval from the CA (via the default HTTP path) logged in any of the CA
    Logs?
    If so which logs?
    If not logged by default can I turn up logging (i.e. I see there is a Debug option) and if so will this then log HTTP CRL retrieval requests (e.g. clients IP address making the http request)?<o:p></o:p>
    I just want to check this in case some UNIX/Linux UG are not trying LDAP first or cannot retrieve via LDAP and therefore have to reply on Http before I turn on the CA <o:p></o:p>
    Thanks

    The LDAP Path comes first in the list of CRL locations in the CDP extension followed by the URL location.
    I know (believe) in general a UA (user agent i.e. WEB Browser) with check the list of CRL locations in turn and as long as it can reach one of them will be OK
    I am OK on the Windows side of things but we also have a UNIX/Linux environment (like most companies) that also utilize certificates issued by the MS CA’s therefore their respective UG will
    (or should that be might) check the CRL via
    the CDP
    If I turn off the CA then the HTTP path in the CDP will no longer be available (LDAP will still be available).
    I just want to check if there are any UG out on the network using HTTP to retrieve the CRL, so I was thinking about checking one or more logs on the CA for HTTP traffic regarding CRL retrieve.
    Questions
    Is CRL retrieval from the CA (via the default HTTP path) logged in any of the CA
    Logs?
    If so which logs?
    If not logged by default can I turn up logging (i.e. I see there is a Debug option) and if so will this then log HTTP CRL retrieval requests (e.g. clients IP address making the http request)?
    I just want to check this in case some UNIX/Linux UG are not trying LDAP first or cannot retrieve via LDAP and therefore have to reply on Http before I turn on the CA
    Thanks all in advance
