How do you copy in iphone

Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

A backup allows you to copy and save the information from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you replace your device, you can use a backup to transfer your information to a new device.

Decide which method is best for you

In case you ever need an alternative backup, you can back up your device using iCloud and also using your computer. Learn how to back up your device or restore your device from a backup.

iCloud

• Stores backups in iCloud
• Offers up to 2TB of storage (with an Apple One Premier plan, you can get up to 4TB)
• Always encrypts your backups
• Lets you create and use backups from anywhere with Wi-Fi

Computer

• Stores backups on your Mac or PC
• Storage depends on your Mac or PC’s available space
• Offers encrypted backups (off by default)
• Lets you create and use backups from your Mac or PC

iCloud backups

With a Wi-Fi network connection, you can back up your device using iCloud. You don’t need to plug your device into a computer to back up with iCloud.

iCloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. iCloud backups don’t include:

• Data that’s already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Notes, iCloud Photos, iMessages, Voice Memos, text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages, and Health data
• Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
• Apple Mail data
• Apple Pay information and settings
• Face ID or Touch ID settings
• iCloud Music Library and App Store content (If it’s still available in the iTunes, App, or Apple Books store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.)

When you use Messages in iCloud, Health data on iOS 12, or Voice Memos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud. If you turn on iCloud Photos, your content is also automatically stored in iCloud.

Backups from your computer

A computer backup of your device, which is not the same as a sync, includes almost all of your device’s data and settings. A backup from a computer doesn’t include:

• Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to Apple Books
• Content synced from Finder or iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
• Data already stored in iCloud, like iCloud Photos, iMessages, and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages
• Face ID or Touch ID settings
• Apple Pay information and settings
• Apple Mail data
• Activity, Health, and Keychain data (to back up this content, you’ll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)

Can I use my device’s backup for another kind of device, like an iPhone backup for an iPad?

You can restore a device from a backup of another kind of device, like using an iPad backup for an iPhone, but certain types of content won’t transfer. This content includes photos, Messages and attachments in Messages, Voice Memos, and apps that aren’t compatible with the device that you’re setting up. For example, apps compatible only with iPad won’t transfer to your iPhone.

If your devices use iCloud and Messages in iCloud, your iMessages and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages are automatically stored in iCloud.

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC. You can also make your photos available on all your devices with iCloud Photos.

Use iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos keeps your photos and videos safe, up to date, and available automatically on all of your Apple devices, on iCloud.com, and even your PC. When you use iCloud Photos, you don’t need to import photos from one iCloud device to another. iCloud Photos always uploads and stores your original, full-resolution photos. You can keep full-resolution originals on each of your devices, or save space with device-optimized versions instead. Either way, you can download your originals whenever you need them. Any organizational changes or edits you make are always kept up to date across all your Apple devices. Learn how to set up and use iCloud Photos.

The photos and videos that you keep in iCloud Photos use your iCloud storage. Before you turn on iCloud Photos, make sure that you have enough space in iCloud to store your entire collection. You can see how much space you need and then upgrade your storage plan if necessary.

Import to your Mac

You can use the Photos app to import photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac.

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn’t automatically appear, click the device’s name in the Photos sidebar.
4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to «Import to,» you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
   
7. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac.

Import to your Windows PC

You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using the Windows Photos app:

1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your PC. Importing photos to your PC requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later.
2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC with a USB cable.
3. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode.
4. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust or Allow to continue.

If you have iCloud Photos turned on, you need to download the original, full resolution versions of your photos to your iPhone before you import to your PC. Find out how.

When you import videos from your iOS or iPadOS device to your PC, some might be rotated incorrectly in the Windows Photos app. You can add these videos to iTunes to play them in the correct orientation.

If you’re having trouble importing photos from your iOS or iPadOS device to Windows 10, try these steps:

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, open the Settings app. Tap Camera, then tap Formats.
2. Tap Most Compatible. From now on, your camera will create photos and videos in JPEG and H.264 formats.

Question: Q: how do I copy a very long iPhone text thread and email to myself?

I would like to copy and email myself a long text thread on my iPhone to save as a permanent document in text format. I only see now that I can do two possible things:

#1) Screen Shot page-by-page and then email to myself those photo images of the text conversation (but they will not be in text format)

OR

#2) Select each reply, one by one, and then forward those to my email. This could take an entire week to do.

Does anyone know of a better option?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.3

If you open the Message, you can hold your finger on one of the Message Segments until a pop-up shows up and click More . then you can tap on each circle to the left of each Message Segment, then at the bottom of the screen you will see a curved arrow, click on it. All you message segments will now be integrated on another page. Then you can click on that and choose Select All and you can Copy and put it in an Email.

Would be nice to have a «Select All Messages» option.

May 28, 2014 2:18 AM

See, instead of having to go through and select your messages one by one to forward, you only need to go through and select your messages one by one, then forward them. Much easier.

I don’t think there is any quick way. Apple has some odd quirks for Mark All or Select All. In my opinion, they should have it all across the board for text messages and emails, but somehow it doesn’t exist for text messages.

Dec 9, 2014 3:44 PM

Seriously? Not to be rude, but please see question above.

Dec 9, 2014 3:45 PM

Seriously. You joined today to make a post to a thread that is over a year old and complained about someone’s response? Actually, at this time, the best way is to purchase some 3rd party software and copy the thread that way. Try TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software.

Dec 9, 2014 3:51 PM

Yes, seriously. I wasn’t complaining, but the solution was essentially a recap of what Boxergirl was trying to get around. I didn’t think it mattered or is relevant that the post was a year old nor that I signed on today. In any event, sincere apologies if you thought my comment was rude. I shouldn’t take out my frustrations with text messaging limitations on others.

Thanks for the app suggestion. Unfortunately, I am a Mac user so I think I am back to the drawing board.

Dec 9, 2014 4:06 PM

Well, you didn’t mention Mac, but to my knowledge, TouchCopy works on both platforms. And, my understanding of the OP was to send each one individually, whereas WiseJD was referring to selecting them all so you could copy them all and send, rather than emailing each individual piece.

It wasn’t that I thought it was rude, but that it was a complaint about something that someone said a year ago. You did not come here to ask a question, or indicate at all that you were looking for a solution to a similar question. It was just that you came on, slammed a response and left it at that. Those of us that take the time to answer people’s questions as volunteers and users just like you. If you spend a great deal of time here, you will see a lot of different types of questions/comments that can get on your nerves. Here is a link for TouchCopy and it does work on both platforms. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/

Dec 9, 2014 4:16 PM

Okay, point taken. And humbly so.

I think I read Boxergirl’s issue differently than you did and it seemed like WiseJD was suggesting more or less exactly what she was trying to avoid. But it’s irrelevant because you are right — when I stepped back and looked at it from your perspective, I can see how I didn’t say that I was here looking for a solution to the same problem and it might have just looked as though I was being snarky. I guess in my mind, the only reason why I would be on here is simply because I am looking for a solution and this thread came up in my search. I will exercise greater care in future.

I’ll give the TouchCopy a try. Thanks for the tip. I have a very lengthy hread I need to copy and forward for work purposes and WiseJD’s suggestion as you spelled it out for me is still way too time consuming.

Dec 9, 2014 4:31 PM

I agree with it being time consuming. I am troubled, not by you, but by others that use text messaging for something so important that they need to save huge threads. While the program that I provided you the link for will allow you to save the threads, they are not formatted easily. It seems that people have gotten by the real purpose of SMS, short messaging service, and are using it for important business conversations, which it was never intended to be used for. But, I’m not going to debate all of that here. There really isn’t a good solution for saving these large threads, and I believe it is because of the reason I stated above. Good luck with it, and I hope you find your time at ASC better after this. I’m sorry I jumped at you. Guess I was being snarky too. Have a great evening.

Dec 9, 2014 4:37 PM

The two ways you provided are all very time-taking. Actually there are some third party software that can scan your iPhone and extract the messages into text format and save it to your PC or Mac.

You can also google search for more options.

Dec 9, 2014 7:18 PM

ChrisJ — I don’t think it’s fair to assume that those of us looking for a solution to this problem are all interested in saving some type of long business thread. I agree that business communications shouldn’t be done via text.

In my case, I lost my spouse two years ago, and since that time, I have saved long threads of messages between myself and my kids, and other close family and friends. I occasionally go through and delete meaningless stuff, but want to keep the meaningful and/or funny little text message conversations. At the same time, I need to delete as much as possible from my phone due to Apple’s ridiculous requirements for space for an upgrade. Solution — find a way to export the threads I want to keep.

I will be using WiseJD’s suggestion.

In response to AskMissA May 28, 2014 2:18 AM

Would be nice to have a «Select All Messages» option.

Yes, it sure would be nice, and it’s completely predictable that someone might want this functionality.

Oct 20, 2015 10:10 AM

There are many legitimate reasons why someone might want to send a lengthy text conversation by email. In my case I am selling a car and the buyer contacted me initially by SMS. After a lengthy text conversation it turned out to be a scam. The police asked me if I can send them a copy of the conversation which is why I need to do this.

Sep 29, 2016 4:01 PM

If you use a Mac, it’s pretty easy.

1) Enable forwarding of text messages to your Mac.

2) Open Messages on your Mac

3) Open the desired message

4) Highlight the desired text

5) right click and select copy

6) Post into whatever application necessary

Note: I cut and pasted into the Notes application and everything copied correctly, INCLUDING the photos

Hope this helps.
