iPhone 4s text backups

slater · 05-15-2012, 08:44 PM

I thought I was ok with tech. I synced my wife's iPhone. Can someone please walk me through getting the text file and decoding it. Do not just send me a link. I tried that but didn't understand the instructions for finding and then decoding the file

Thanks!!

Assuming you`re on a Mac.
If not I have no idea how to help you..

Go into finder..
hit shift/command/g

A search box will pop up.
Copy/paste this line into it..
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Finder will take you directly to the iPhone back-up file.
It`s called "Back Up" and in it is another folder with a lot of digits in the name.
Inside this folder are the back up logs which are a time consuming pain in the ass to read.

From there you`re on your own.
At this point it`s sifting through a needle looking for a haystack.

Someone else might know of a viewer to decode the actual text files/logs.

That is the name of the folder which keeps the text messages. Open it with notepad or a similar program.

I don't have any hard reason to look. No big setback. Just doing my "homework". Yesterday she had dinner with her mon and brother for mothers day and started the talk about clarifying how she has misrepresented me to everyone for years now to justify her behavior. It's a start and shows intent. She has started traveling again and it's tough. Thanks for the tech help and the concern.

You can play with technology all you want to, it's not going to fix the problem, which is a lack of communication with your wife.

Another problem with travelling wayward spouses is they can essentially hook up with anyone at their hotel with no proof on their phone or email accounts.

I'll just keep on saying my point too.

As I said in my longer post in the keylogger / reconciliation thread, you are profoundly naïve about how affairs work.

Affairs are about lies
Lying to yourself about how it's ok to confide in someone outside the marriage

Lying to yourself about how you deserve your fun on the side

Lying about the truth of your marital history

Lying to your spouse and telling them all of your needs are met and nothing is wrong.

You think it's about communication. You are right. It's about failing to communicate your needs, failing to request marriage counseling, failing to share your true self with your spouse because you're saving it for someone else. Failing to communicate to your spouse you're having sex with someone else so THEY can tell you this is unacceptable and it must stop or you will divorce.

Communication won't fix it alone, if they are CONSTANTLY lying to your face!

iheart, i think lama is a trojan fom a cheating site. every 1 of her or his post is about not snooping, and defending the skanks. he play the game well, but he has given himself/herself away. Blaming the men, then sounding all reasonable. He write in the same style as a mod on a cheating site I linked to from a thread yesterday.

This recurring pronouncement is profoundly inaccurate.

I was wondering about that one... it DOES seem odd to throw in 2 cents on pretty much every post...

That would explain a lot. I just hope he/she doesn't do any damage
