How to transfer chat history that is backed up on Macbook for Line Messenger to new iPhone 6S ?

I had an iPhone 6 and recently bought a new iPhone 6S+. Before selling my iPhone 6 I backed up my iPhone 6 via my own computer by doing a sync with iTunes. I had Whatsapp,Wechat and Line Messenger. When I got the new iPhone I did a restore. Ally my applications and Chat messages came back accept for my Line Messenger chats. I can see them and find them on my computer but for some reason Line will now allow me to restore them on my iPhone. I get an error message telling me " The LINE account on your previous device will be deleted. Also, by logging in, your chat history will be deleted. Continue?" 😠 ***??


There has to be a way to recover the chat history if I can still see it on my Macbook. Need a genius to help me here.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

This method is no longer working.


I tried it just now and it says:


Connection Failed

App Sandbox access is restricted by Apple to ones with 'iTunes File Sharing' enabled since iOS 8.3. Jailbreak is required to open the sandbox of this App.

I actually tried this on a Macbook.. so yes it is downloadable to Mac.. but no longer doable for non jailbreak phones.
