All messages deleted, except one

Woke up this morning to find that all SMS my phone had mysteriously been deleted, except one - and in this message, the entire thread has disappeared except for the most recent text (likely received after the removal of mass). Of course I don't have a recent backup, not even with iCloud, but the strange thing is that not even 3rd 3rd party apps such as phone rescue could find no trace of my texts.

The only thing that I get out of the ordinary last night has been to plug my phone into my computer to charge. I deliberately didn't synchronize it with iTunes or Photos, because they make my computer run very slowly and I was watching a video at the same time.

I had a conversation by chatting with someone from Apple support and they have been unable to find a solution to the problem - they advised me to configure iCloud to make sure things have increased support, but even then, they said there is no way for messages save on iCloud.

This happened to anyone before?

Hi Muggleborn,

Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple! I understand that you had a few messages disappear randomly on your iPhone. I can certainly understand your concern, because I would not lose anything in my posts or the other. I am pleased to provide you with advice here.

The first thing I want to make sure that you have checked is the option to keep the text messages. You can check this setting by going to settings > Messages > keep Messages and make sure that it is set to never. The other 2 options 30 days and 1 year will delete messages after this time elapsed.

If you haven't already done so, you will also need to restart your iPhone.

Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

How do I restart

  1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
  3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

Just be sure that you do not restart power mentioned in the article

I also recommend that you backup your iPhone regularly to iTunes or to iCloud. A backup also save messages so if ever you lose information on your iPhone in the future, you can easily restore your backup. I've included some resources below that go on what is included in backups and how to get these backups going.

The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Take care!

  • Delete all empty layers except one?

    Hello

    This script deletes all layers of empty/white. I need to delete all empty/white layers with the exception of the layer named "grid."

    I tried searching the forum for some clues, but I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I thank very you much.

    var myLayers = app.activeDocument.layers.everyItem () .getElements ();

    for (var i = myLayers.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}

    {if(myLayers[i].pageItems.Length==0)}

    myLayers [i] .remove ();

    continue;

    }

    }

    It works for me:

    Main();
    
    function Main() {
        var i,
        myLayers = app.activeDocument.layers.everyItem().getElements();
    
        for (var i = myLayers.length-1; i >=0; i--) {
            if(myLayers[i].pageItems.length == 0) {
                if (myLayers[i].name != "Grid") myLayers[i].remove();
            }
        }
    }

  • [basiljs] remove all pages except one

    In a script, I create pages, export to PDF, remove pages and then create a new etc.

    Right now I use this:

    [code]

    for (var j = b.pageCount (); j > 1; j-) {}

    b.removePage (j);

    }

    [/ code]

    But it's really slow. I think that indesign made many calculation after deleting a page (deadline: link textfields) so it would be more efficient to remove all pages at once.

    Now my question is how do?

    I tested and if I delete about 5500 empty pages with the script it takes about 8 minutes.

    If I select all in indesign, and then delete it takes about 10 seconds.

    Another way to speed up a litle is to erase all the content. It will take a long time but probably a bit faster.

    Thing is that I have

    b.Clear (b.doc ());

    but this removes the master page as well and I need to keep the master page.

    In short, how to remove all pages (except one since indesign needs a single page) at the same time?

    Hello

    I will remove a lot of pages in indesign with

    • Use documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument (faster)
    • use while loop or for
    • Close doc without saving changes, and then open again. (in some cases)

    Here's the test code, run with old Macbook Air + CS5 + OSX10.7

    var pp = function (args) {
      $.writeln(args);
    }
    
    var remove_all_pages_use_pref = function (doc) {
      pp("start deleting (use preferences)");
      $.hiresTimer;
      doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 1;
      pp("end deleting");
      pp($.hiresTimer);
    }
    
    var remove_all_pages_use_loop = function (doc) {
      var i = doc.pages.length;
      pp("start deleting (while --)");
      $.hiresTimer;
    
      while (i--) {
        if (i==1) {break;}
        doc.pages[i].remove();
      }
      pp("end deleting");
      pp($.hiresTimer);
    }
    
    function main() {
      var doc = app.documents.add();
      $.hiresTimer;
      doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 5500;
      pp('# create 5500 pages');
      pp($.hiresTimer);
      var indd = new File("~/Desktop/5500.indd");
      doc.save(indd);
    
      pp("------------");
      remove_all_pages_use_pref(doc);
      doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    
      pp("------------");
      pp("# try another way");
      var doc2 = app.open(indd);
      remove_all_pages_use_loop(doc2);
      doc2.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    }
    main();
    

    result

    # create 5500 pages

  • How to delete all messages in iOS 10

    What happened to the 'TRASH ALL' button in the MAIL for ios10?    Maybe I MISS something that you guys can tell me?

    < published by host >

    Here is a workaround until Apple restores the Select All - deletion in 10 iOS feature:

    1. open the Inbox that you want to delete all

    2. tap on edit (top-right)

    3. press to select any email (this will allow the move feature)

    4. press on and hold 'Move' (down in the Center)

    5 now the 'Move', click to deselect the email from step 3 (you do this so all e-mails, not only the selected e-mail to move)

    6. release 'Move' (this will bring up a list of destinations to move your mail

    7. press on 'Trash' or 'Archive' to move all messages to the respective destination

    It's complicated, but a workaround, however.

    I guess it's a gmail or google account?
    I have a Gmail, IMAP and use a filter to move all messages that are over 14 days in a local folder. (NOT a folder on Gmail) when I remove (with filter) each over 30 days which is NOT marked. It works, and "all messages" are light.
    EDIT
    If you have e-mail messages in folders on Gmail, then removing all-mail will remove those as well. First move everything you have in local folders, and then delete. You don't have to subscribe to all mail

I sent a message from my office, on the phone, and while it was received, it was posted exactly as above.

  • delete all messages at the same time on Watch

    Is there a way to delete all text messages on Apple Watch at the same time?

    Hello

    It is not currently possible.

    To delete messages: open messages > show conversations in the list view > swipe to the left on a conversation and press Delete / Trash to remove it.

    If you want Apple to consider the addition of an installation to remove all messages through a single action, you can suggest here:
