When transferring from a 3GS to a Iphone 5, will my old text messages transfer?

I'm transferring from a 3GS to a new IPhone 5. Will my old text messages and emails transfer via the cloud or from my computer?
Thanks.

"Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)."
The messages should transfer, and the emails are attached to the email server so your inboxes will come back as well.

  • My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact

    A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages.  I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network.  I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • Why does my Iphone 4 randomly resend old text messages?

    My carrier is Verizon but from what I have read on the Internet it is apparently an Apple issue not a carrier issue. It is really embarrassing when people text me all confused because I sent them a random text message.

    I'm having the same issue, I just changed offices and the service in here is typically not 3G, and 1-3 bars.  Sometimes iMessages drops out sometimes it is fine, sometimes an SMS won't go through and I have to manual resend it, but recently I have been getting texts from friends telling me that I am resending texts from days ago. 
    I'm not sure, but I think when I try to resend a failed message, somehow it is trying to resend all past failed messages or something.
    Anyone else having this issue?

  • Iphone 5 will not type text messages in vertical position.  Only in landscape position??

    My iphone 5 will only allow me to type and send text messages while holding it in a horizontal/landscape position. (screen is not locked).  How do I fix this?

    Hello there, clm90.
    When having issues with normal iOS functionality, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers to attempt resolving them:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    In your case, step 4 may not be applicable, but the remaining steps can be useful in pinpointing a solution.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

    I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered".  It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached.  I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service.  iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation".  Took the phone to Apple store the other day.  After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while.  To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone.  This did not fix the issue.  Still no text message.

    Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Hello when i upgrade from 4 to 4S will my existing text messages migrate over?

    HI when i upgrade from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S will my existing text messages migrate.....

    If you back up your iphone 4, and when you get the iphone 4S, you would have to restore from back up and you will have all your existing text messages. If you set your iphone 4S as a "New Phone" then it will start from fresh and no existing text message will be in there

  • Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

    Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon. 

  • My iphone 5 will not send texts by imessage

    Just last week, my iphone 5 will not send text messages to other iphones or ipads.

    I believe there have been some sporadic problems with iMessage.

    Have you tried logging out of your Apple ID with iMessage followed by logging back in?

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • So I had pictures in an album called photo library and when i backed up my iphone to my computer, the pictures disappeared from my phone. They were pictures that had originally been transferred from my blackberry to my iphone

    I had pictures that I transferred from my blackberry to my iphone and they were in an album labeled photo library. my phone needed to be replaced so I backed it up to my computer and now my photos are gone. The camera roll pictures are still there but my 800 photos from my blackberry are gone. does anyone know where i can recover them from? are they gone forever? any help would be much appreciated. thank you

    I transferred my photos (I cant recall how i did) from my old blackberry to my new iphone.
    Okay.
    i also imported the photos to iphoto but it was only the pictures from the last six months (camera roll).
    Okay.
    I dunno if this information is useful but the photos im trying to recover were in an album called photo library and they were permanent and couldnt be edited or deleted on the iphone.
    These photos were never on your Mac. iPhoto only imports from the Camera Roll. You'd have needed to use a 3rd party app to get any other photos from your phone.

  • How do I transfer iMessages from my 3GS to my iPhone 4?

    How do I get iMessages from my 3GS to load onto my new iPhone 4? All the text messages transferred up until I started using iMessage.

    Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
    I want to transfer playlists from my iPhone 3GS that ARE NOT in iTunes to my iTunes 4. If I try turning on music sync in the music tab of my iPhone, a warning screen comes up saying all music will be replaced on my iPhone. I don't want to replace everything - I just want to sync the playlists that are on my 3GS to my iPhone 4.

  • I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?

    I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?  And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

  • I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

    I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
    Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g??????  Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
    The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
    My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
    Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

    You are not alone on issues related to weak signals.  It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US. 
    I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe.  I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries.  Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
    When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected.  It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope. 
    If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying.  Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G.  Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range. 
    In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not.  There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
    If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general.  At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC.  If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
    When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent.  Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
    One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp.  Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available.  Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send.  Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units.  You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
    Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
    Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges. 
    I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.
