I finally figured out how to blue tooth everything from my last phone to my computer. I will now be able to sync contacts, pictures, videos, etc, once I add them to the proper mac software.

BUT, can you transfer SMS Text Messages to the Iphone?

Can you transfer them from the iphone to the computer?

Thanks,

I use a free App called "Copy Contact" which allows you to paste the adress and phone info into anything... SMS, email, text whatever you need to do.

Easy text save

Press the home button and the power button at the same time briefly.
That will create a photo/screenshot saved in the photos folder on the iPhone.
Backup photos on your next sync in iTunes.

Et voila.

Did that software work? You were able to import SMS messages from one backup of one iPhone to another new iPhone?

Why do people complicate matters? all you have to do is is forward your text messages to your email address, open it on your pc save to pc job done!

Why so much hassle? Jailbreak your device and do whatever you want to or use programs especially designed to backup or transfer iPhone:apple: text messages to computer

Lot manual data entry that way, but at least there's a reference to the contacts.
