DiskAid transfers files to and from any app installed on the device. Most apps store data and documents within their own documents folder (located within the app's main folder). DiskAid detects an app with file sharing enabled and displays the app's icon in the Navigation pane (at the left of the Diskaid window, under 'Applications'). By clicking the corresponding app icon, the document folders appears in DiskAid's file browser and from there it is possible to copy existing documents and data files from the device to the computer and transfer documents from the computer to the device.

  • heyy thankyu so much for ur help but i have a question what if i want to save messeges from viber or any other txting app .. is it possible please let me know thanks again

  • @ssoonniioo I haven't tried that but you may be able to do it by browsing through the apps (e.g. Viber) that DiskAid lists in the left-hand navigation pane. You might find the text files in there. That's the best guess I can give you.

  • All I want to do is transfer all the saved text messages on my old 3g to my computer. none of this makes any sense to me. If anyone has a simple explination it would be appreciated. thanks. I just want to get the info off the phone so I can restore it and sell it! without losing 2 years worth of sms...

  • @kirah1977 The video explains exactly how to do that. Watch it carefully. The steps are clearly laid out. In case you didn't catch it, the program needed to do this is called DiskAid. To download it, check the download link which is in the video's description.

  • Can we see those mesgs as well which we delete erlier

  • @palimano1 I think what you're asking is if you can still get your messages that you've previously deleted. If this is what you're asking you cannot. No program will do this for you.

  • is there a way to copy back the messages to the phone?

  • This isn't free anymore.... without the "pro" version you can't copy the texts to your computer. This video is useless.

  • thank you very much for the info!

    Just a thing...it shows only the recent texts but not the older messages which been saved over months. How can I transfer the very old saved messages from my iPhone to PC?

  • Is the program free?

  • any programs compatible with mac os x 10.4.11?

    all these programs require snow leopard and up.

  • saved my life, ok thanks.

  • Hey, I have a question..

    When you use this to view your convo's, will it also pull up pictures and videos you've received?

  • @kirah1977 I have the same problem...

  • But how can i pass the messages from the computer to another iphone?
