  • Saving text messages from my iPhone 4?

    I want to change carriers to get better phone service, but will need a new phone. I want to save my text messages from my iPhone 4 onto my MacBookPro.
    How do I do that?

    You can do your backup either to iTunes or to iCloud, which ever way you have been doing them in the past. This support document might make it easier for you to chose if you haven't been backing up in the past. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262 Make sure for safety sake that you import the pictures from your camera roll and that you sync contacts and calendar data to a supported application on the computer. Then follow the information in this support document for putting data from old device onto the new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • HELP! Saving text message from original iphone

    I've got the original iphone and I need to know how to save several pages of text for a court hearing. I have tried several suggestions on here to save messages but none are working. I have tried taking a screen shot by holding down the home and power button at the same time, my version of iphone does not allow forwarding messages, so I can't sent it to an email address to print out later. I understand that there are applications that one can purchase, but I'm wondering if they are configured for the original iphone... can anyone help me?

  • TS2755 I would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer. (I have verizon as a carrier)

    Hey:
    Hi everyone.
    would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
    (I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
    Can you help me.
    Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.

    There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
    The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
    A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4?

    How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4? I want to know where and how to backup and view text messages and all other personal files, including voicemail, recent calls, etc. from my iphone. Is this function in iTunes and/or does iTunes already backup this stuff when I sync?
    I really just want the answer to how and where this works.
    Thanks

    Apple provides functionality in the backup done via iTunes to backup the device and text messages.  There is no functionality to view the text messages on the computer.
    About iOS backups
    Other programs are available which can extract text messages from the device or the iTunes created backup and then be viewed on the computer.  To my knowledge, no program exists which can force backed up text messages into the device once they've been removed.

  • Is it possible to retreive deleted messages from your Iphone

    Hi,.
    anybody can tell me, if it is possible to retreive deleted messages from your iphone handset

    Yeah, unless you want to deal with the pain of trying to get you messages to your computer, you will have to take a screenshot (by taping the home and lock button at the same time).
    If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print).  If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.
    I want to add something more.
    In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

  • How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

    How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

    If the phone isn't working, you can't.  If you have a backup on your computer, you may be able to extract them from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (see http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com).

  • I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s by accident. How do i retrieve them through itunes?

    HELP!! I deleted my text messages from my iphone 4s. I need to know how to retrieve them through itunes! I have tried alot of things and nothing is working!! Thank YOu

    If you had these messages on your phone when you last synced and haven't synced your phone again since losing them, the messages will be contained in the backup created when you synced (unless you are backing up your phone to iCloud).  If you restore your phone to this backup it will return your messages to your phone.  (If you have already syned again since losing them then you have already overwritten your earlier backup and your messages are lost.)  Restoring to a backup will revert all data and settings you your phone to those contained in the backup, not just messages.  If you have more recent data on your phone that you want to save you must do this before restoring it from backup.  If you want to restore from backup, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

    Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product.  I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth.  Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

    SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
    If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
    "Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.
