Export iPhone text messages to PDF?
I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7 with a MacBook on 10.7.5.
I have tried the method described here: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/backup-iphone-sms/
This ended up with weird errors, like listing the Text Messages separately from iMessages. This makes conversations impossible to follow, since the message will be sent as a Text Message if the iMessage fails. This happened fairly frequently.
And I have tried the application DiskAid.
This worked much better, yet still some texts were just plain out of order. Also, it listed them in the order of most recent first. I can't understand that, because within the application, it displayed them fine. None of the problems started until after I exported it.
So I would like to have all my messages in the order that they appear on my phone, including emojis. It needs to be in PDF, so that the emojis will still appear on a windows machine. The person I'm sending this to has a windows computer.
What is the best way I can do this?
Thanks.
Added (1). There appear to be errors with the file… Some text messages have a timestamp that do not match the order in which they were received and sent… Is there any way to fix this or will I have to do it manually?
You can simply download Backuptrans iPhone SMS + MMS Extractor for Mac to help. Easy to use.
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- Isn't there any iPhone app that actually lets you edit the text in a PDF file? The thing is that all apps I've ever seen let you make annotations only, and not delete one text in order to replace it with another. As powerful as Apple brags itself the CPU in the newest iPhone 6S Plus is (I have that very larger model), isn't there any app that conducts the OCR on a PDF file (or recognizes it in any other way), allowing for actual editing?
- Iphone 4 help, Can't export (share) mp4 videos? I downloaded a few mp4 videos to my iphone, but i can't seem to export(share) them. They don't show up in my "video" folder, but if i search the phone for "videos" a video app shows up with the vidoes in them. I can play them but i can't do anything else.
- If I turn off push messages on my iphone 4 will I still get my regular text messages? I read that turning off push messages or setting them to manually helps save battery life. I want to know if I do this will I still be able to receive my regular text messages.
