Transfering text messages from old iphone to new iphone.

Hi there,
Is there any way I can transfer my old messages on my old iphone onto my new Iphone 5?
I've tried backing up and then when I connect my new iphone to itunes starting from the other phones backup instead of starting new, but it hasn't transfered
my text messages.

go to preferences > devices and delet your back up.
then go to file > device > backup, and restore from that backup.

  • Transferring text messages from my iPhone 4S to new iPhone 5S

    If you backup your iPhone 4S via iTunes and restore your new iPhone 5S from that backup all your text messages will be restored.

  • Getting Text Messages from old iPhone Back Up into New iPhone

    I kind of messed up when I got my new iPhone 4S and instead of making sure all my conversations and apps were synced properly over to my new iPhone, I basically just wiped out all my stuff from my old iPhone and lost all my app settings.  Fortunately all my contacts and stuff were saved in my back up so I still have all my Text Messages, but they are in my old back up and I have used my new iphone for a while now so it also has a bunch of texts and stuff that I want to hold onto. 
    Is there any way that I can merge my old text messages from my old back up with the new text messages from my new "back up"?  Or basically save my old text messages and then load them back onto my phone?  Cause basically at this point I am restoring back and forth when I need info from my old text messages and then setting back to my current settings when I'm done.

    No...one or the other...you either restore from your old backup or your new backup.

  • Retrieving text messages from old iPhone to new iPhone

    Is there anyway to retreive text messages sent while my iPhone was off for a few days before I bought a new one and set it up?
    My service was still on, my old phone was just water damaged.

    That's a question for your carrier.... any SMS queued up should have simply been delivered to the device.

    If the text is still on the phone and wasn't deleted, I don't see why not. Probably easiest to use an app like TouchCopy (Mac and PC) or PhoneView (Mac), rather than looking through things on the phone itself.

    You can't.
    The iPhone stores text messages in conversation format for starters.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.
