TS2755 What happens if I accidentally delete messages

So i accidentally deleted messages of me and my best guy friend and i tried restoring my phone hoping they would come back but they didnt. is there anyway to get them back

Unless you had those messages in a backup, there is no way to restore them once deleted. You can try looking into third party computer programs that might help but there is no official Apple way.

  • HT204476 So what happens if I accidentally delete the Migrated Aperture Library?

    Just read the Help note on Apple's site about how Photos doesn't actually take up additional space on my hard drive. To be honest, that wasn't clear to me when I was looking around my Pictures directory this morning and I almost deleted the original Aperture Library.
    What happens if I do?

    I think I misread your question.
    The way In understand it is that the hardlinks when associated with multiple folders result in more than 1 folder referencing the same files - so long as 1 folder is referencing the items the original files do not delete - where are they? - I suspect to the user that is hidden and if you get rid of Aperture library the original files stay somewhere in the file system but remain associated to the Photos library.
    I agree for those of us who worry about things like this there's a concern we'll inadvertently delete originals, but I believe TD's advice is correct.
    Either way, I would probably make a backup of any library I was about to delete to an external drive plus/minus Time Machine to be on the safe side.
    Unless you really need to delete Aperture library might be as well just to leave it and ignore it until you're happy Photos does what you need.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • Accidentally deleted messages???? HELP

    okay I have no clue how this happened! I deleted a folder in my mail. It turned white. Was odd. Hit the delete option again. This time it worked. But then I notice something not good. ALL my sent mail and ALL of my inboxes are EMPTY! Any ideas where to retrieve stuff from?
    Undo is grayed out.
    No clue if I hit something wrong or if mailed freaked on me. Are mail messages stored somewhere?
    I haven't closed mail since this happened.
    The trash is empty as well.
    I can note that at least for my .mac messages they are still on the web server. It just hit me to quit panicing and check yea!
    Also mac mail is running crazy high memory and CPU load so something is odd there. But not sure what is going on.
    okay to continue the saga - mail was frying the CPU - so I ended up quitting and restarting - and magic, messages returned.... no clue what that was so... now people can just speculate on what happened.

    Not sure what happened, but this might be a good time for you to consider some backup strategies if you haven't already done so. The only thing worse than losing data is not having it backed up!

  • What happens when I press DELETE on a video in the camera roll on the iPad 2

    What happens to the video in the camera roll on the iPad 2 when I press DELETE

    Actually, I think that to a certain extent, iiCloud does support video storage - for backup purposes anyway. Maybe I am splitting hairs here or it's simply semantics ... Copied from Apple's iCloud backup and restore overview....
    You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    So if the video was in the backup - and you restored the iPad from that backup, then the video would be retrievable .... But only by restoring the iPad from a backup that contains the video.

  • Is there any way to retrieve accidentally deleted messages?  A whole conversation accidentally got deleted!

    I accidentally deleted an entire conversation when just trying to delete a couple of messages!  Help!!!!  Is there any way to get it back without losing the messages Ive recieved and sent since my last backup?  Or do I have to restore my iphone from its last back up and lose all the other messages (it was last backed up yesterday

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  yes restoring from a backup, will make you lose any data that wasn't part of that backup.

  • TS2755 Is it possible to restore deleted  messages

    Is it possible to restore deleted messages?

    Hello there, Sensersix.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over the process of how to restore an iOS device:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Keep in mind the messages that will restore will only be as recent as the backup itself.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • TS2755 My iPhone 4S will not delete messages

    When attempting to delete messages my phone will not let me... When I hit "edit" then click on the "-" tab .. The "delete" tab will appear for a second then disappear... Not giving me time to delete the message... How can thus be fixed ?

    Swipe message right to left delete or archive box should come up.  If you want to mass delete try watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKa-KFjUIGE If messages are on a server like gmail or yahoomail you may have to go there and delete or the messages will come back.

  • TS2755 how do I retrieve my deleted messages

    I have deleted some information in text messages, some just got old and went away...how do I retrieve these messages..?

    If they were part of your last backup, you'd have to do a restore to recover them.

  • What Happened To My "Backspacing" Delete Key?

    I can no longer delete things that I have typed by hitting the delete key, (it turns out my arrow keys are no longer working either...) is there a setting that got changed for the bluetooth keyboard in the last update? I mean the keys still work, just not rationally. The arrow keys scroll the webpage I'm on, but do NOT move the cursor...
    I don't even know if this is a safari update or snow leopard, it kinda all happened so fast.
    Anyone else? Is there a fix coming or setting I can change back to make it function properly again?

    HI,
    Try re-pairing your keyboard with your Mac. Make sure the batteries are fresh.
    System Preferences / Bluetooth.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • HT1420 What happens if I accidentally deauthorize a computer

    Just had a heck of a time transferring all my music from my pc to my new Mac. I'm scared what deauthorizing could have done or could do if I need to do it to remove old computers.

    You can just reauthorize it; while it won't affect the iTunes library, it should be backed up. Deauthorize a computer before you sell it, give it away, upgrade it, or reinstall the OS on it.

  • EWS: EmailMessage.Body.BodyType can be either of HTML or Text. What happens to RTF messages?

    Hello,
    EmailMessage.Body.BodyType can be either of HTML or Text. I know that Outlook can create RTF messages. So what happens when a message includes an RTF body?
    Thank you,

    If the Message was created with in Outlook with the RTF editor what happens when you access the Message using EWS is that the Exchange Store will do a onthefly content conversion of Message body and provide you with HTML or Text. Simulary if a Message
    is sent with the text only body when you request the HTML body for this message the Exchagne Store will return a converted body for you. If you want the RTF body you can get it from the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED extended property. (if the body was converted from
    another format whether it was to or from html to RTF there should be meta tags left in the content to indicate that).
    Cheers
