How to back up my text messages from my iphone?
I have the Iphone4 with the ios7 update. I just want to put my text messages onto my PC. I have already backed up my phone onto my computer through iTunes and I have also found the files that contain the texts. I just need to know how to read them.
When backed up to your computer the file should be at (in Windows I'm presuming): OS hard drive > Users > [your username] > AppData > Roaming > Apple Computer > MobileSync > Backup.
With this file go to http://www.iphone-sms.com/ where you can upload your file and choose to export it to Microsoft Office Excel, HTML or PDF. Once the file has been uploaded and exported, you will be able to view all the SMS's you sent.
If this is not compatible with ios7 then you might need something like this http://www.backuptrans.com/iphone-sms-backup-restore.html
You can try to find an app that can output the text messages as.txt file, then you can read it.
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- 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.
- 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.
- If i back my iphone up on iTunes are my text messages saved as well? I ordered a new iphone offline because my new one has been acting crazy. My new one should be coming in a few days. My old iphone is backed up on my iTunes on my computer. So will all my texts, pictures, contacts be restored on my new iphone when i plug in up to my itunes?
