On a Mac-to-PC USB cable, the connection plugs are the same on both ends, so it doesn't matter which plug is connected to which computer. Plug one end of the 6-foot cable into a USB port on your Mac. DiskAid is a prime example of how things should be done, enabling just about any file to quite effortlessly be moved onto a PC or Mac for safekeeping. The app has just been updated to version 5, and brings with it a few key new features making iDevice management easier than ever.

When moving between Windows and a Mac, file formats can be in issue. For example it is not easy to read files created in Pages on a Mac when they are on a Windows computer.

Introduction

The texts on your iPhone are now one of your most important forms of communcation with your friends, family, loved ones and coworkers.

Whatever the reason, iExplorer lets you access and save your iPhone's messages on your Mac or PC. The following tutorial walks you through how to use iExplorer to export your iPhone text messages and message attachements (Images, Contacts, etc) to your computer as a .PDF, .TXT, or .CSV document.

Overview Steps

Follow these steps to transfer text messages from an iPhone or iPad to your computer:

Connect your iPhone or iPad & open iExplorer.
Click on the Data tab in the Device Overview screen and click on the Messages button.
If you haven't created an iTunes backup yet on this computer, you will be asked whether to make one (choose Yes). If you do already have an iTunes backup, and it's more than 24 hours old, iExplorer will ask whether you'd like to Use Last Backup or Refresh to create a new one.
Once iExplorer has finished loading your Messages, you may select a conversation in the left panel. Use the icons at the top of the conversation-view to filter by date-range, show attachments only, or export the whole conversation.
If you don't want to transfer the entire conversation, you may select each message bubble, or multiples, and click the 'Export # Messages' button

In-Depth Tutorial

iExplorer can load, read and export text messages that are either on your iPhone or ones that have been saved in an iTunes Backup already on your computer. This tutorial walks through both possibilities.

To access text messages on an iPhone, open iExplorer and connect your iPhone to your computer. You should see the Device Overview screen appear. From this screen navigate to Data --> Messages or from the left column, under your device's name, navigate to Backups --> Messages.

Access Text Messages from an iTunes Backup of an iPhone

When you create a backup of your iPhone using iTunes, your text messages are saved to your computer, but they get buried deep within various semi-encrypted databases. iExplorer can do the heavy lifting for you and make these messages readily available and prettily formatted so you can read and export them on your computer.

To access texts from an iPhone Backup, first open iExplorer, then click Explore Backups. From the left column, under the Browse iTunes Backups section, select the backup you want to use. Then within that backup select, Messages.

Viewing, Searching and Exporting iPhone SMSs and Text Messages

After clicking on Messages for either an iPhone backup or a currently connected iPhone device, iExplorer will load your text message database. On the left column, you'll see your conversation list. You can sort the list by name, date or number of messages.
