SMS Backup

[laurenon1982]

Does anyone know how to save my texts on my PowerBook? I've been saving a lot but it's taking up too much space. Ideally I'd like to save them on my computer or external hard drive. I used to use syphone but it no longer works and actually only worked as soon as I downloaded it. Any suggestions??

iCloud can help now. No need to save on computer.

You can use iExplorer. It's a way to root your iPhone without jailbreaking or anything. It's a legitimate tool to transfer stuff from your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and actually uses iTunes in a way to connect to your device. It has its own UI and uses parts of iTunes to connect to your iPhone. It can back up EVERYTHING on your iPhone. There's a free or trial version I believe, but if you're using multiple idevices like me, you should consider the 35$ cost for the activated version rather than using "backdoor" methods if you know what I mean.
