How to transfer old imessage conversation to new apple device?
I used to chat with my friends on my ipad mini using imessage. Recently, I got an iPhone 5 and I've been trying to active imessage with the same icloud account. However, it didn't transfer the old conversation. Is there a possible way to transfer the old messages from my iPad mini to my new iPhone?
Added (1). Kyle, I tried your method. My iphone was reset and then it doesn't look like anything has change. My message is still empty.
There's certainly no way of transferring the messages. If you want to preserve those messages, it is an option to take screen shots of the messages and transfer it to your phone via iTunes
I'm not completely confident that this method will work, but if you think it's worth a try, go for it.
1. Plug you iPad into your computer and open iTunes.
2. Wait for your iPad to sync and transfer your purchases.
3. Create a backup of your iPad.
4. Plug your iphone into the computer and allow it to sync and transfer purchases as well.
5. Right click (ctrl click on OSX) on your iphone and choose "restore from backup"
6. Choose the backup of the iPad. Wait for restore and voila.
Tell me how it works out for ya. I'm kind of curious myself if this is a working method.
Hi, you can try 4Videosoft iPad Manager Platinum, which can transfer your music, photos, moives, SMS, contacts, etc from iPad mini to your new iPhone. I've used it for a long time and so far it works great. You can find it on the website and have a free try.
- Will my jailbreak on one device transfer to another device via iTunes? So I bought an iPhone 5 today and I'm afraid to sync it to my Apple ID/ iTunes because my 8GB iPod is also synced to that iTunes account and its jailbroken. I don't want my jailbroken iPod to affect my iPhone 5. Will it affect it? I don't think it will but I just want to make sure before I sync it for the first time.
- Thinking of getting a new device, what to do with old one? So I've had an iPod touch 3G for like a few years since my parents got it for me as a birthday present. But now that I got a job and earning money I've been thinking lately of getting an iPhone 5 or another more updated device since they are so much more faster and better! So I was thinking, what should I do with my outdated iPod touch 3G when I get a new device? Destroying it seems like a waste so what are something's I could do?
- How do you stop calls coming from one device coming to your device from iCloud (apple iPhone)? I'm 13 and i don't have a credit card so i use my mums account and since my phone and her phone has the same icloud, her calls come into MY phone and i've tried making a new apple id but it won't work so how can i stop it (i've already logged out on my phone) so how can i stop it?
- Is it possible to use the same apple ID for a new phone but not have everything from the old phone transfer over? I was just wondering because I will be getting a new iPhone and I want to still use my current apple ID, but have a clean slate and choose what transfers over.
