How To Save and Read Your iPhone Text Messages On Your Computer


This presentation will help you save all those important and juicy text messages on your iPhone to your computer for later reading.

If you followed my previous tutorial, “How To Recover Your iPhone Files, Photos, Contacts, Notes, SMS, Call History, Etc.”, you learned how to recover iPhone files from a backup on your computer to restore back to your iPhone. By now you should already downloaded and installed two free applications called DiskAid and iPhone Backup Extractor. For this tutorial, we only need DiskAid to transfer your text messages or SMS from your iPhone to your computer, but we need another one to read those messages from a database and save them in a file format that can be read and properly formatted by an application like MS Excel or any other spreadsheet. This is where we need SQLite Database Browser.

Fall asleep listening to iPhone


Now, there are several applications from the App Store that can help us relax and fall asleep by listening to the sound of nature, instruments, or other soothing sounds with timers to automatically turn-off the sounds at a pre-determined time. The applications reviewed here are Ambiance, iChillout and aSleep, all for $0.99 each. You don’t have to buy all of them. Their features are almost the same, and what’s more important is finding the sound that will help you relax and fall asleep.

Recover Your iPhone Files, Photos, Contacts, Notes, SMS, Call History, Etc.


For some reason, if you lost some important information on your iPhone, whether from 3rd party applications, your photos, contacts, notes, SMS, call history, calendar, etc., and doing a restore from iTunes is futile, don’t give up yet! As long as you have performed a backup in iTunes recently, your data is safely tucked away in a database in your computer—but you need another tool that can read and extract the data so you can copy it back to your iPhone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In case you want to know, your iPhone backups are located in your Mac (~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup) or on a PC (c:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What You Need
Download and install the following:
DiskAid for Mac (http://www.digidna.net/products/diskaid)or Windows (requires a jailbroken phone to access the Root Folder)
