Impossible to Recover Files from iPhone, iPad, iTouch?
You Heard Wrong!
Do you still bear the concept that if you don't have a copy for example made by some iPhone or iPad backup software (as can be found so many on the market), then it's impossible to recover the files once deleted or the device is lost? Now take that concept away!Well, it's true that if you have used some backup software and backed up all your data, then you can easily restore all the files when they are deleted or lost due to certain reasons. The function is just like System Restore (for Windows) or Time Machine (for Mac). But the fact is so many people disdain to use such backup software or the concept of data backup still haven't been introduced into Mac fans' mind.
But from now on - you can get things done and recover your iPhone, iPad, iTouch files even if no data backups or copies with made even since.

- I downloaded the program last night and tried to use it. I was wanting to see text messages for the last several months. However, I only got to see text messages back to January of this year, about a months worth of texts. Is there anything else I can try to get other text messages?

- I am afraid not, the possible reason why can't restore your earlier SMS may be that iTunes backup file (.sqlitedb) has already been updated and part of previous data got overwritten.
