Recovering iMessages from Mac to iPhone

I somehow lost all of my iMessages and texts on my iPhone 4 running iOS6.  However, all of the iMessages still appear on the Messages application on my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. Is there a way to get the iMessages back on my iPhone? I tried recovering the iPhone from an iCloud backup but that did not work.

  • How can you transfer iMessages from mac to iPhone?

    Does anyone know how to transfer iMessages from either a mac or an iPad onto an iPhone? I want to transfer my history of messages from these devices onto my iPhone. Any help is very much appreciated.

    You can't...
    You might be able to copy the message chat files from the iPad to the iPhone using the iExplorer app, but it may not work if you're not on the same iOS version.
    However, the messages should sync up on their own, due to the iCloud function but if not, just reference the iPad until you don't need to anymore.
    You can use iExplorer and put the message history into a pdf and then put that PDF on your phone.

  • Transfer imessages from mac to iphone

    So a friend deleted all my conversations on my phone as a prank. I do not have a recent backup of my phone, however I do still have all the conversations still on my mac messages app. I was wondering if there was a way to get these conversations back onto my phone from my mac. Thanks for the help!

    Hiya,
    just a wild guess here but do you have Handoff activated on your iphone.
    if you do, turn it off and then back on....let me know what the result is of this test

  • Transfer imessage from mac to iphone

    Hello.
    I deleted a text message conversation from my iPhone.
    However, the conversation is still present on my Mac in the "Message" application.
    How could I copy the conversation from my Mac back on to my iPhone?
    Thank you.

    There is no way to transfer conversations that have already taken place. However, if you log into the Messages App on your Mac with the same Apple ID as on your iOS devices, all future conversations will sync between your devices.

  • Syncing imessages from mac to iphone

    I recently downloaded the OS X Yosemite for mac, this seemed to work fine until now. Usually any message I'd receive on mac would also be received on my iPhone 5S, today however I got an iMessage on my mac yet not on my phone. I've looked at which number or email address messages are sent to and both my number and apple ID are selected, yet I'm not getting the iMessage's on my phone whether I'm on wifi or 3G, or if I've synced my phone, or if I restart my phone.

    Open iTunes, connect your iPhone. In iTunes, open your iPhone and on the "Settings" page there's a section for Back-ups. In that pane, there's a section of when the last back up was performed. One for iCloud and another for "This Computer". Both will have a date of when it was last done. Since I back my iPhone up via iCloud, the last back up was earlier today. However, when I last backed up to my computer was way back in March.
    The problem with this backing up system, is that it only back ups to ONE of them. So whenever the last time that you backed up to your computer, if ever, the question will it be worth the money for that app that you speak of? Besides, you could always restore your iPhone to that back up that you have on your computer, for free.

  • IMessage from Mac to iPhone

    Recently when my kids send me a message from my Mac to my iPhone, it sends 2 messages to my phone.  One from my phone number and one from the email address.  I just want it to send one with my email address.  How do I stop the one from my phone?  I went into preferences and just the email address is checked.  My phone number shows up there but it is unchecked.  I signed out and signed in again, but it is still doing it.  It is more annoying than a problem.

    Not that I know of. You would have to restore a back-up of the iPhone before the message was deleted. You can also take screen shots on the Mac of the conversation. That would save the conversation in your photos, and you can sync those. Maybe someone else can chime in if I'm missing something.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

    how to get photos from mac to iPhone 6? when i try it just comes up iCloud instead of my photos

    Make sure Settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photo Library (Beta) = "Off"

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
    What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • How to delete photos transferred from mac to iphone ?

    I have searched on Google "how to delete photos transferred from mac to iPhone"
    It returned the following result :
    To do so just:
    In iTunes select the device icon in the Devices List on the left. ...
    Choose Sync photos from, being iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements on a Windows PC.
    Choose Select Albums and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    But the problem here is that I have deleted the album which I synced via iTunes on Mac.
    Now how can deleted those synced photos from my iPhone ?

    No. Hook it up to any computer running iTunes. Make sure that you do not have any of the other tabs set up to sync, so that you do not overlay the info you have on your device for Music, Movies, etc., then go the the Music tab and un-check Sync Music. This should remove all sync'd music from your device. (this is presuming that the Mac you sync with does not have any photos you do want to sync with your device. If it does have any photos you want to sync, then instead of turning off the Music syncing altogether, you can just select what you do want to sync, and the sync will remove all other sync'd albums).

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)
