  • HT4946 how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes

    how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes or on my pc

    If they are included in the iTunes backup, you do not view them.  iTunes backups are not viewable, they are intended solely for restoring to an iOS device.
    If the device has been used as designed and the pictures were regularly copied off the device to the computer, look in the folders where you put them.
    If the device has been used as designed and contacts were synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, look in that application or cloud service.

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • Is there a an app that will filter/block unwanted sms messages?

    Hi i hope i have put this in the right section but this is my first post so be gentle if i haven't !
    i recently had a nokia n97 (i know wash my mouth out with soap for saying it !) now the phone was cr*p very slow and the charger went up in smoke after 10 days so it went back and i got an i-phone which i should have done in the first place as it is 100% better!
    the only thing that was good for the n97 was there was an app that would filter unwanted sms messages
    basically you had a "black list " of phone no's or you set it to only accept from contacts list then the app just filtered the sms messages from anywhere else
    i cant find anything even remotly similar for the iphone does anyone know of one?

    Well in the US on AT&T you can. AT&T has a website (mymessages.wireless.att.com), here you get a limited ability to block SMS. This feature is not highly publicized for obvious reasons. Contact your carrier and see if they have a similar service, many do, they just to publicize such.

  • Are there any other ways of backing up sms message...

    Hi, I came across my old N95 8GB and realised it has old sms messages from someone very close who passed away recently.  I want to sell the phone but don't want to lose my messages. 
    The problem I have is that I have tried every method to do this but all fail. 
    I have tried Nokia PC suite - just keeps showing 0 messages even though there are hundreds on the phone itself.  Same with conatcs just won't show up so I cant back them up but there on the phone itself.    Tried all the reinstalling stuff and updates and so on but have had no luck
    Nokia Lifeblog - Same thing, shows no contacts or sms
    Nokia Suite - This throws an error when trying to read contatcs "Reading the phone failed - "Reading contacts from Nokia n95 8gb failed.  Reconnect USB cable to your phone or connect via bluetooth.  Error code:80700004"
    When viewing messages it just shows 0.  I was able to view pics but nothing else. 
    I tried using xplore to manually find them but not sure where they are, I found private folders but they all seem confusing.  I 've done a soft reset, restarts, everything.   
    Can anyone give me any ideas how I can save these old sms messages even if its just on my pc, I just don't want to lose them.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    peterman50,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions
    First, sorry to hear about your loss. Is the N95 8GB updated to the latest version? Maybe you can try removing the existing Nokia Suite and installing an older version which is version 7.1.180.94. Make sure you run the software "as administrator" on Windows 7 and 8 and when the phone prompt, choose Nokia PC suite mode.
    If that does not help, try to back it up using bluetooth - dongle via pc or connection through a bluetooth enabled laptop.
    Good luck

  • HT4859 does icloud back up my messages

    i have icloud and i was wondering if i could recover them from icloud
    im not sure if i accidentally clicked the clear all button or it deleted because it was taking up too much space
    PLEASE HELP!

    Yes providing you haven't backed up since you lost or deleted the messages, you should be able to restore them.

  • Will iCloud backed up pictures affect import?

    I need to import files from an iPhone and IPod Touch that are backed up to the same iCloud account. I don't know how the backed up files on the iCloud work in that what will happen to the pictures that are already backed up to iCloud? I understand how a straight picture import works, but I don't know if these same pictures backed up to iCloud will affect things at all?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to backups, when you delete them from the camera roll they will be removed from the backups.
    If you are referring to photo stream, they may remain within the photo stream for a period of time, however they will eventually be erased.

  • Will iCloud back up everything on iphone5?

    Hi all,
    This is a general question. My wife just got her iphone5, and she is wondering if icloud will back up everything on it. If she has to replace her phone for any reason, will she be able to restore everything from icloud, specifically:
    a. All the apps she purchased and associated config and user data;
      b. Notes
      c. Safari Favorites
      d. Contacts
      e. Calendars
    f. pictures and video she took
    g. Songs on the phone
    Appreciate any advice. Thanks! /Kenny

    It backs up app data, pictures and video
    Apps, music aren't backed up because they are redownloaded from the app and music store.
    There is some debate about whether it backs up contacts, calendars, notes etc but there is evidence that it does back up contacts, so it may well back up the others too. However the contacts, calendars notes etc are synced (which is different than backing up) with the cloud, if another device logs into the same account and enables syncing this data will populate the new device regardless of whether it's backed up or not.
    However all this being said, I'd suggest backing up via iTunes if you are going to change your phone.

  • TS4036 My icloud back up takes a long time !  What is the problem ?

    I need help please , i am trying to backup my icloud for more than two days !! Still backing up and not finished yet

    The time it takes is entirely dependent on how much data you are trying to backup, and how fast your upload speed is.
    Are you on a slow upspeed connection?

  • HT1414 How do I back up SMS before restoring iPhone?

    How do I back up SMS messages before restoring iPhone? It's an iPhone 4.  I don't want to lose that info, even if its saved as PDF files separate from
    iPhone.  Just want to keep record of them if I can't keep on phone after restoring them.

    when you connect the phone with itunes using usb
    and sync it with the computer a backup of all data including sms's will be made

  • Will icloud backup external hard drives?

    I have two LaCie extenal hard drives, each with a different Aperture and iPhoto Library, In addition, there are hi-res images stored in folders. Will iCloud back this up?

    Time Machine's structure is complicated - apparently it uses a large number of symbolic links - if you do a Disk Repair on it it takes forever. Cloning it to another drive works OK, but you may find some problems with an online backup - particularly as very large amounts of data are likely to be involved, which would take a long time even on a normal drive.
    The best place to ask about Time Machine would be in the OS X Mountain Lion forum.

  • HT4859 Child locked my iphone and does not remember the code.  Will icloud backup store the pics, etc, or are they lost?

    Hi.  Little child locked my iphone and forgot the passcode! 
    Will iCloud back up pics still?  i guess I have to reset?  Solutions?  she cannot remember the code.
    Thank you!

    Hey met,
    You will have to restore the phone to get back in. Restore it from a backup.
    iCloud still has your stuff, and I believe that backups continue as before.
    Moral: Don't tell your child your passcode!

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • If I restore my iPhone from last night's iCloud back up will I lose any new messages or info saved since the back up was done?

    I just updated to iOS 7.0.4 and I had to delete most of my photos to have enough space to perform the update. I did an iCloud back up last night that has all deleted photos. If I restore the most recent back up will I lose any new messages that I have sent or received since the back up was done last night?

    Yes. Restoring to a backup takes the phone back to the date and time of the backup and anything done since that time is lost, with the exception of your update to iOS.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to make a manual backup
