  • How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac.

    How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac. Besides these paymentprograms. And I have no previous backup that I can get it from.

    This is amazing! Pick out everything I need from the iPhone. Just what I've been looking for a long time, but did not find anything I liked. So started to see if I could pick out one and one thing ... Definitely worth the money. Thank you Julian!
    PS. I fully support the payment thing, but theres allot of legal free programs aswell, so just wondered =)

  • HT4623 Transfer SMS from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5

    I have just bought the new iPhone 5 and I am having problems transferring my SMS from my iPhone 4.
    My iBook is too old to plug in my iPhone 5 so I have had to use my parents laptop instead.
    Can anyone tell me if my old SMS can be transferred to my new phone and if so how can I do this?
    I have tried, but have had no luck  

    To transfer sms, photos, contacts and apps from one iPhone 4 to iPhone 5:
    1. Connect two iPhone to PC.
    2. Choose the category list of iPhone 4 that you need to export files
    3. Check the files that need to export in the Content Panel and click "Transfer file(s) from device to device" button
    4. All the checked files from your iPhone 4 can be transferred to iPhone 5.
    And there are two articles about transferring files from iPhone to iPhone:

  • Meego N9: Cant recieve sms from Iphone

    Hello, I just got my new Nokia N9. I have a very strange problem and wondering if anyone has a fix. For some reason, when somebody sends me a SMS from iphone with an iphone emoticon in it, I dont recieve that SMS. I simply don't recieve that SMS. But, if the SMS is only text based, I get the text with no problems. Please Help.

    its not a bug on Meego. My works perfectly alright. Maybe your network provider doesnt support.
    I checked with my provider (Fido, Canada). They said that it works in other Nokia devices, so it should work on yours as well. So, I tested on a separate Nokia device by sending a text from my iphone and works fine there. I can see the text portion and the emoji part just shows up as a strange ASCII character. Which is acceptable. But on the Nokia N9, I don't get the text at all, like it's disappeared in thin air. I opened a bug with meego as well, but no luck there. He didn't really seem to care. 
    Any ideas? Is there a specific setting you have on your device?

  • How to retrieve deleted sms from Iphone 4

    Is it true that all sms are backup in phone rather than SIM card for Iphone 4?
    Is it possible for sms to be missing from Iphone 4 even we did not delete it?
    For deleted sms, is there anyway to retrieve it without affecting the rest of the exisiting SMS?

    sms's are in the phone memory yes
    and when you delete them they are not moved to a trashbin or anything like that
    so to get them back you need to restore a backup from the computer or icloud which was
    taken before the sms was deleted
    or you can try asking the carrier some anti terror law may cause them to keep a backup in their end

  • Syncing SMS from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro

    I want to sync SMS from my iPhone to my Mac, but I don't know how and Google has failed me. I don't want to jailbreak my phone, or hack it in any way, and I don't want to pay for software if there is a free alternative. Everyone seems to be recommending Syphone, but it's outdated and won't support my phone.
    How can I do this quickly and easily?
    Thanks in advance.

    Like it or not, you need third-party software and I don't know of anything free that works. Get this:

  • How can i transfer my sms from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    Hi
    I am thinking about getting an iphone 4s
    How can I transfer my sms from an iphone 3gs to an iphone 4s?

    I just bought a new iPhone, and also had an iPhone before.
    You sync the old iPhone, plug in the new iPhone, and then you will be asked if you want to sync the new one with the old one.
    I also wanted to keep all my SMSs, and it worked - they were transferred to my new iPhone.

  • How to merge sms from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6

    I want to merge my old text messages to my new iPhone 6. I have started using my new 6 which has a number of text messages I want to keep but now I want to transfer old sms from my iPhone 5 (backed up to iTunes 1 hour ago). I know I can restore the 6 from the 5 backup but will this overwrite the new content on the 6?
    I also see many ways to save the old messages to PC but very little on moving them to the new phone, and again will this overwrite new messages?
    I'm using Windows 7,the latest iTunes and iOS 7 on the 5.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
    I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!

  • Move SMS from iPhone 3g to iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I recently got an iPhone 4 to replace my old 3g. Since the 3g had been jailbroken (i needed to keep it usable before i got a new phone) i didn't want to setup the new iphone 4 from an existing backup. Basically i wanted to start fresh.
    Since i have my ical, address book, notes and everything else properly synced, this was not an issue, but the one thing i only have on the phone or old backups is my SMS and MMS history.
    Is there any way i can move my old sms and mms messages from backup to the new iphone, without having to restore from the old backup completely (ie just want to restore sms / mms) and without having to jailbreak?
    I presume iOS 5 message dbs are different, so i would have to restore the iphone 4 form the old backup to convert them, then copy them from ~/Library/../../Mobilesync/XXXX/XXXXX.mddata, then setup again from scratch, insert the convereted sms backupfile into the new fresh backup and restore again?
    Any simpler way to do this?
    Really just want my messages to be present :-)
