IPhone :: Copying Text And IMessages From 4 To My Mac?
Jun 9, 2012
How can I copy text and iMessages from my iPhone 4 to my Mac? Ideally, I'd like to be able to create files that can be easily accessed on the Mac once they have been copied. It is also important that I retain the sender information and the date/time stamp attached to the messages.
On my iPhone, I noticed that the "Other" file in iTunes had grown. I also remember hearing that "Other" was your app data (like Angry Birds high scores), Text messages/iMessages, and so on. I was wondering if it was possible to delete older Messages (any messages older then a month ago) and not the newer ones.
After always using iPhones I'm finally making the switch over to Android. I'm most likely going to get a LG G4 to replace my iPhone 6 Plus but my main issue is I'm unsure how I can transfer my data from my iPhone to the LG ?
I'm most concerned about if I can copy my text messages and iMessages over so they will be on the new phone. Is this possible ?
Why does my 4S suddenly switch to text messages when it has been sending to the same person as imessages? I am connected to wifi and have no cell service where I am, so the text errors out. Can I force it to send as an imessage?
I had an iPhone. But then I got another phone. After my contract was finished I got my # transferred to my new phone. Now I've been noticing that when I txt people from my new phone , if they have an iPhone, their response is messaged to my iPhone as a iMessage (when connected to Wifi) and I don't get the txt on my new phone.
Why in iMessage my phone keeps sent a regular text message and not an iMessage? Also my keypad is very delayed When typing? Why is it not sending and delaying.
How do I transfer text messages and iMessages from iPhone 4 to 4S? Have tried itunes backup, but it did not bring over the data,So I now have the 4S with contacts and apps on but none of my old messages. If I try to do a iCloud backup now, is it going to go over the new data on the 4S
When I attempt to send an iMessage to my husbands phone, it sends and receives as a text message. When he responds, it comes in as an iMessage in a new message. How do i correct?
iphone 4s working fine. Updated to 7.1.1 and text messages / imessages sporadically sent. Notification of unsent message sometime hours late. the same thing happened after the last update. am I doing something wrong? I'm quite old fashioned and simply want my phone to function without digging through lengthy troubleshooting pages. apple products used to simply 'work' now it seems .
I Can send i messages to other phones but my daughter can't send or receive them. As far as I know she hasn't changed any settings . Text messages are fine though.
I Often times I'll get a " message failed" message while trying to send text or iMessages to friends. The only way it'll eventually send is if I dekete tge entire message thread. Any way I can fix this problem on my iPhone 6 plus?
Just recently my macbookpro was stolen that I backup my iphone to. I didn't have a recent backup of data on this so I can't just plug in a harddrive and get everything back, but what I want to do is connect my iPhone to my replacement mbp and copy everything off it before it does a sync. I know that when it syncs for the first time it will erase everything so want to avoid losing all my photos, apps, music, contacts etc!I know Apple don't really tell you how to do this but I'm sure there is a way around it. Its very critical as I can't sync my phone until I sort this out otherwise I will lose everything.
I managed to deleted all the text messages between my partner and I accidently when I had to get my faulty iPhone 4 replaced. Unfortunately they are not in my most recent backups either which is very strange (only the history pre-January 2012), and I'm embarrassingly devastated by this. I have restored it to every back up I have and they are not there... They are a mix of iMessages and normal text messages. Is there any way I copy the conversation from my boyfriends iPhone/back-up?
In my iphone I've got numbers of individuals who own more than one phone numbers and unfortunately when I sync outlook with itunes it doesn't take the other numbers but takes only one mobile number and saves it. I've tried downloading the latest itunes, and also refreshing sync history.I'm using iphone 3GS 3.0 FW. How can i make sure that all the numbers get transferred?
I have a select number of .MOV files that were taken from my iphone originally but, why I try and transfer them back to my phone I get an error.
The process I do is: Import the Mov files in to ITunes Movies (Play OK) Go in to my Iphone 4, select Movies and pick the relevant Mov file. Click Sync
I then get the following error from ITunes "Movie" was not copied to the Iphone "Iphone" because it cannot be played on this iPhone.
I took this MOV on my Iphone originally and it plays OK through Itunes and other media players so am confused as to why this is not working on my iPhone.
I do not have the option in iTunes to "Convert to Ipod/iPhone" or anything like that....
How can I get the contacts from my iPod onto my iPhone. I do not have iCloud in my General Settings even though my software and operating system have been updated to latest version.
How to copy a music list from my i-phone to my i-mac ??
I did it all the time vice versa. Unfortunately my "all songs-list" was deleted on my i-mac and I would like to copy it now from the i-phone to my i-mac !!
I fear, that it will synchronize the other way round, so that then the "all-song-playlist" will be deleted on my i-phone as well ?
I just found out that you can’t copy more than 5 pics, when you want to paste them in mail like we used to do in all OS 3’s prior to 4.0. You can share more than 5, but it is now limited to 9, and if you share more than 5, your only option is to MMS the pics. Bottom line is you can only email 5 pics at a time.So, Apple had to purposely remove the option to copy more than 5 pics. I guess someone decided we really didn’t need that function.
I had this problem at little while ago and it seemed to fix itself but now my iMessage has stopped working again, but only to my wifes iPhone. I'm not sure if it's related to the iOS update but i think it was working ok after that?I have a iPhone 4, she has a 3GS. They are both registered on the same apple ID I cannot send her iMessages but when she sends me texts (via iMessage) i receive them as messages but from my email address We are both in areas with 3G or wireless networks I have tried all of the suggestions that I have found on here and nothing is working on my phone!
Is there a way to recover old iMessages? Are these messages held in the network somewhere? If so, how easy is it to recover them? I need to look up some messages for a file of mine.
my imessages on my iphone 4 isnt working , I'm connected to wifi, and texting someone with an iphone 4 like mine , and it worked before .. but all of a sudden it stopped working..
