Transfer text messages from Iphone (3G) to Macbook

Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way to transfer text messages from my iphone (3G) to my macbook. One discussion on one of these forums suggested using 'syphone'. It does not work and I am wondering if Apple is really looking into this text transfer issue?

Hoping you guys would help me out.. Thanks!!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

What makes you think Apple would be looking into this? It's not as if something does not work as expected.

Have you tried forwarding the messages to you email address? When viewing a conversation touch the edit button, select the messages and put your email address as the recipient.

I am also trying to find a way to transfer my texts to my MacBook Pro. I downloaded and paid for a program called Transee only to realize that it's only compatible with PCs.
I tried your suggestion about the forwarding to email, but I have months of texts back and forth with someone and I'd have to go through all of those and select them individually to forward by email. you don't know a way to "select all", do you?

There has to be a way to get texts to our computers. It seems like it would be easy, but so far I haven't seen a solution.

I'm glad it worked so well for you. 🙂 As for The Missing Sync, I bought it years ago to use with my (then) Palm; it was a much better solution than the Palm Desktop. When I switched to an iPod Touch, I was able to also switch to TMS for iPod/iPhone — either for free or at very low cost, and of course that version works for my iPhone now. I'd forgotten that it was originally rather expensive, so I'm delighted that you found a more reasonable solution.
