How can I set my phone to delete messages after a certain period of time? 6 months, 1 year??? It is taking up over 4GB on my phone.  I don't want to delete everything just the oldest ones.

If you update to iOS 8, you can select that in Settings>Messages>Keep Message and then select your option. If you don't update to iOS 8, you'll need to do it manually.

  • How can I set TB to auto delete emails after a certain period of time?

    I have two email accounts set up in TB.. I am using TB 24.5.0, and one of the email accounts is a Gmail account, and the other is a Microsoft Exchange account with a domain I own running through Office 365. I suppose technically TB looks at that account like an IMAP, although it is not an IMAP per se.
    In any event, I am coming to TB new from using Outlook 2010 and 2013. I would like to figure out a way to create rules for each of the email accounts that would automatically delete emails from my inbox after they are a certain age. I would also like to determine how I can establish a retention policy for emails I know I want to keep beyond their automatic purge time frame.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

    This only works with IMAP accounts.
    Tools (Alt-T) - Account Settings<br>
    Select your account - Synchronization and Storage
    Make sure to move any messages you want to keep to the Local Folders account prior to making changes. Local Folders should be set to keep messages forever.<br>
    Note, this is a manual step.

  • How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

    How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • Can I universally change the title styles in my iMovie? I don't want to retype everything in the new style!

    Can I universally change the title styles in my iMovie? They're all set in "Lower Third" and I need to change all of them to "Gradient White" and I don't want to retype everything in the new style! It'll take forever, as I have many titles in this movie.

    Interesting.  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov9c5e9641f  describes how to change a title.  I tried selecting 2 titles then chaging the style but it didn't work for either.  So it seems the answer is no (though it should be yes).

  • How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
    The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
    And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
    (However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
    There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
    in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
    You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
    get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
    So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I set up a program to stop at a certain time, or after a period of time?

    I am using LabVIEW to measure dc voltages over a period of time. The data is exported into an Excel file.  I would like to be able to set up the program to stop at a certain time, or after a certain number of hours.  This way when I run a test that will start near the end of the week and would stop on say, Saturday, it will not continue to record all the data after that, which I do not need. I would love to be able to set a time for it to end, but I  also wouldn't mind having it end, or stop recording data, after a certain voltage has been reached.

    Its hard to say without knowing more about how your program is set up.  Assuming the data aquisition is in a while loop, you can just wire a bunch of different stop conditions into a compound math node.  Then right click on it and select "OR".  A caveat about the comparisons I used in my little example: Comparing DBLs can lead to unexpected results when the two values are very close together.

  • In iWS 4-6, how can I cause a user to re-login after 30 minutes of idle time?

    We are using NSE 3.x as well as iWS 4, and 6 for several websites. They all use Directory services and SSL. I want to be able to force the user to re-login into the site after a specified amount of idle. Also, if possible, I would like the user to be able to log (him/her)self out at any point without closing the browser. How can this be done?
    Thanks in advance,
    scott

    Hello,
    You didn't mention on which platform you are running the iplanet web server. I assume that you are running iWS on (UNIX/LINUX) platform.
    you need to set the CGIStubIdleTimeout directive for the required time to logoff the user idle for seconds, which causes the server to kill any CGIStub processes that have
    been idle for the number of seconds set by this directive. Once the number of
    processes is at MinCGIStubs it does not kill any more processes. The default is 45.
    CGIExpirationTimeout limits the maximum time in seconds that CGI processes
    can run.
    Thanks

  • How can I set a passcode that is only required at certain times of the day. Ie: my child needs access for school use, but don't want her playing iPad in the middle of the night. I cannot identify a way to have the iPad turn off or require a password

    I cannot find a way to enable my child's iPad to require a passcode only at certain times of the day.
    Yes I have used the clock/timer/ countdown - great to restrict how many minutes of iPad usage they get a day.
    But as my child requires the iPad in school for class lessons the usage at school varies maybe 30 mins 1 day and a few hrs on other days
    I want the ability to say set the iPad to not work between say 7pm and 7am, ( unless a passcode is entered) so my child isn't playing games on it in the middle of the night...
    Apple I cannot see anything in the settings that performs this function
    Help

    You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.

    Note: The iPad may be disabled if he tries the passcode too many times.

  • How can you set Dos date as YYYYMMDD in After Action script?

    Hellos...
    I have been trying the standard method to get the DOS date as a format string YYYYMMDD
    It seems to cause the AfterAction script to bomb.
    I am trying this script ...
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
    <Waveset>
    <ResourceAction name='ISSHP-enable-email'>
    <ResTypeAction restype='Windows Active Directory' timeout='60000'>
    <act>
    rem Action for MSE2007 test/development to Enable-Mailbox a new AD User created by IDM.
    rem Set up environment as necessary (copy of idmadm account's environment)
    rem Local script environment settings
         SET LogFileDrive=C
    SET LogFileDir=%LogFileDrive%:\Sun\ADAfterActionsLog\
    SET DBtoUse=idmex.sks.local\Mailbox Database
    rem set TODAYDATE as yyyyddmm and TIMENOW as hhmmssdd to be used in the Log file name
         set TIMENOW=%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%%time:~9,2%
         for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=. " %i in ('date /t') do set TODAYDATE=%k%j%i
    set >> %LogFileDir%AfterActionLog.txt
    rem PS Commands from here...
    exit
    </act>
    </ResTypeAction>
    </ResourceAction>
    </Waveset>
    But the line
    for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=. " %i in ('date /T') do set TODAYDATE=%k%j%i
    is causing problems..
    How have others managed to turn date /T into YYYYMMDD within an after action ??
    I know in our Gateway date /T will output (today): pe 29.01.2010
    GF

    The output from the for command when run in the cmd shell is as expected.
    I have tried both batch and command line variable settings in my action script i.e.
    for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=. " %i in ('date /T') do echo %k%j%i
    and
    for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=. " %%i in ('date /T') do echo %%k%%j%%i
    with no joy. I suspect that its the Gateway launched shell executor that is having problems with the for do command.
    Anyways, using
    set todaysdate=%date:~9,4%%date:~6,2%%date:~3,2%
    solves my problem. Just curious why the for construct bombs in the resource action.
    Thanks. GF

  • How can i leave a copy of email message after receiving it on outlook, how can i leave a copy of email message after receiving it on outlook

    i have a problem that i cant save email message on both my iphone and on outlook on pc

    So even though he can see everything he's ever gotten in All Mail, he still wants in in Inbox?  I realize the how to do it is a little bit of a stumper and it shouldn't be so difficult... but honestly, I think the more relevant question would be Why? Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?
    How does his Blackberry currently access his Gmail account? It should be a simple matter to duplicate the settings. It's undoubtedly just using POP and not deleting the originals as they are downloaded.
    Here's what's going to happen if that's the case. The very first time he sets up a new device... phone, pc, doesn't matter, to use POP, it's going to download every e-mail he's ever gotten unless he goes in and tells Gmail otherwise.

  • How can I resolve iCal desktop application error message after Yosemite upgrade?

    After upgrading Yosemite on my MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac, my iCloud calendar generates an error message: "The server is currently unreachable or the connection was blocked."
    I am able to create and edit my iCloud calendar events on my iPad, my iPhone, and any browser by signing into iCloud.com.
    All other services such as Mail, reminders, keychain, and so on continue to work normally.
    Other services like Google's Calendar continue to work seamlessly across all mobile devices, web browsers, and the iCal desktop applications.
    I have logged out of iCloud in System Preferences and then logged back, but that did not resolve the issue.
    This is concerning since I am unable to add, edit, or delete events in the iCal desktop software on my computers.
    Any help welcome!

    Found my solution!
    When logging back into iCloud in System Preferences, I received an error message that my (iCloud) account could not verify the "identity" of the "p03-caldev.icloud.com" account.
    I was required to "trust" an Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority certificate to remove the error message.
    Everything now synchronizes across iCal on my computers and my mobile devices/icloud.com.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.
