Why has my phone deleted all my messages
i went to send a messgae my phone restarted automatically and when i turned it back on ALL my messages had been deleted.
I have tried to reset and restart my iphone but nothing worked.
Why did this happen ? and can i get them back ?
Did you log on to your email account from a PC to verify if the emails were on the main server?
If your settings have it set to remove the emails from the email server and save them locally on your phone or tablet, then you MUST backup your phone's files manually---and often.
Here's some places to check
1) Start with your email server from a PC. Login to your email account with your computer. Are the files there? Check Folders
Yes--Then change your phone settings to download the older emails. You may have it set to download only 10 most recent.
If No--then try the other options below, but before you log out, change your sync settings to leave messages on the server.
2) Check your External SD card for the backup files
3) Check if you backed up data to a Cloud server.
4) Check if any other devices you may have your email account setup on. Like a tablet, or an old backup phone still connected to wifi. ( I'll pick up one of my old phones and find tons of old emails loaded on it. )
If you didn't backup your files and you have your email settings set to remove the emails from the server to your phone, then you are probably out of luck.
Going forward---1) leave emails on the server. 2) Save to your ext SD card 3) ALWAYS backup App data files including photos, text msg, call logs, app configurations from your INTERNAL SD card before installing ANY update. Some updates will wipe your phone clean...some will not.
Better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps

Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.
Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working. -

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.
Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it. -
My iPhone 4 has just deleted all my messages & won't let me receive or send texts?
My iPhone 4 has just deleted all my messages & won't let me receive or send texts?
There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

Why did Adobe DC delete ALL files on my SD card?
Well, the only thing that happened with my tablet today was the new Adobe DC was pushed onto it. Now ALL pics, videos, and old PDF files on my SD card have been deleted. It is blank. WOW!!! Thanks....
I found them. But having to access them separately & then "create a local file" for each one has been very counter-productive & counter-intuitive compared with the 'old' version...I guess 'the cloud' has got us with a ring-in-the-nose leading us where it wants...

You would have to restore your phone as new - settings - general - reset - erase all contents and setting.

iphone says messages is taking up 6GB of storage, even after I deleted all my messages. What is wrong? This is preventing me from downloading the most recent iOS, not to mention numerous other things. Thanks for any help! I am at a loss of what to do.
For that much storage being taken up the only thing that can be done as of now is back the device up in iTunes and restore the iphone. The restore will also update the phone.

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.
I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

I deleted all my messages, yet in my usage it still says saved messages? How do I permanently delete them to free up space? Thanks!
If you've already deleted your messages and it's saying this, that means you have corrupted data.
Sync your contacts & calendars to iCloud, copy your photos to your computer, and then restore the phone & set it up as new (don't restore your backup). Thats' teh only way to get rid of this. -

Is there a way to delete all the messages for a user in CUC 8.6 ?
With Unity it was possible as an administrator, to delete all the messages in a user's mailbox, directly from the server (Windows). Now, with Unity Connection (8.6.1) is there a way to do the same ? When I'm logged as an administrator, I can see, for every user, the number of messages and the size (Mailbox menu) that they have in their mailbox, but what I want to do is to be able to delete all the messages for a specific user... Is it possible with CUC 8.6.1 ?
Hi there,
The best way with Unity Connection is with the use of this excellent tool from
the great suite of Unity Tools (** "reset" feature);
Unity Connection Bulk User Delete
For resetting users you have the option of emptying the mailbox, resetting greetings, deleting voice names, resetting passwords, removing private lists and a number of other options you may choose. For installations where the user base “changes over” frequently such as schools this may be a nicer option. This option is also allowed for CoRes installations since it does not involve the removal of user objects from the Connection database.

How do I delete all email messages in just one touch (delete all feature)?
Does anyone know how to perform a "delete all" in order to delete all email messages rather than going through each message one at a time to move from the inbox to the trash folder, then delete from the trash folder permanently? Currently, we seem to be able to only select one message at a time, rather than perform "Delete All".
I read in a forum post about the "Delete All" button being available only when pressing Edit in the Trash folder. Could someone please provide the sequence of steps to successfully delete all messages in one step? Thanks.
John BottigerIt is not possible other than as described by yourself - singly to the Trash folder and then collectively from there if you so wish.
