How do I edit out the previous email addresses from the pop up list of address in Apple Mail?

Whenever someone sends me a new email address, I go to address book and edit the page. The problem is that whenever I go to send an email and start to type the address in, the drop down menu lists possible entries as I type, and it still keeps the old address on that list, sometimes above the new address and if I don't carefully check, it will go out to the wrong address.
It seems to hold onto the old addresses no matter what I do. I have edited, tossed out or changed in the address line of the email, and it still holds onto the old addresses.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If I start an email to John Doe. I type in his name and if I look at the drop down menu when I click his name, it will offer several options, including "open in address book". Makes sense. He is already there.
But some names, a few to be sure, have "add to address book" even though they are already there.
And if I open the address book and open their page, I will see all the info, just as I should.
But if I click on the "add to address book", the same email address is repeated on their page in the address book. So I could end up with the same email address 5 times on the page.
Someone told me once that if I cannot cure the bug then I should consider it a "feature".

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

How can I log out my firefox sync account from the desktop remotely?

Once I went to my friends' house, and I installed the firefox there and made it synced with my account.
And now I want to stop syncing my bookmarks and other things with that desktop, so is there any way to stop syncing?
Or is there any way to log out of that desktop remotely?

Hello hblack123
If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

After you have reset your new iphone, what is the next step to applying the previous back up from the old one?

Essentially I have a new iPhone and I've done the reset according to your instructions on your site. How do I apply the latest back up from my previous phone so that I can have all of the content, the back up and everything that was connected to the iCloud?

Also understand that iCloud and iTunes backup different things - iCloud really only the "essentials". Read more here:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

What will happen to my iPhone contacts if I choose to "Delete from my iPhone" the previously synced contacts from the iCloud?

When I updated my iPhone 3GS to i06, my contacts were messed up. Some of my contacts were lost, and one of my contacts which I had two numbers for, a new one and an old number, now only has one number and it is the old one. So, will I get my original contacts back if I choose the "Delete from my iPhone" choice?

Regarding the first question:
- The contacts on my iPhone right now, due to the connection with iCloud, are numbers that came from the iCloud account (which, unfortunately is my husband's account - I didn't realize it). Although we have some of the same people on our contacts, his, of course, contains his business contacts as well. Before the connection, my contacts were my social contacts and my business contacts. It looks like that not all my contacts from before the iCloud connection are there as some are missing and all of them have missing punctuation marks. All my photos that were on the contacts of the people are missing as well.
- I will have to check and see if my contacts are on the iCloud account also. Haven't checked that yet.
By the way, this all happened when I loaded the i06 update. That's when it asked me if I wanted to store it on iCloud. And when I clicked on it, everything changed on my contacts.

TS3899 How do I log OUT of my emails

Hi
New to the I Pad. How do I log out of my emails when using the I Pad. Even though I switch off, when I switch back on again and click on mail, my emails are always there. I can't find anywhere where I need to sign in or sign out? Is this something I should be worried about. On my normal laptop of course, you have to sign in and out so why not on the I Pad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

You can blur it out with retouch
The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

How do i edit out the dark places in a pdf?

how do i edit out the dark places in a pdf? I xeroxed pages from a book, and the xeroxes were not of great quality--lots of shadows where the book opened on the copier glass.
When I had the xeroxes scanned, the dark places turned deep black and made the xeroxed/ scanned texts almost unreadable.
How can I lighten the images in the PDFs so that the text is readable again?

Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

Recorded a software instrument on garageband, how do I edit out the "silence"?

I have recorded a software track, how do I edit out the "silence" that was created before and after I recorded using the keyboard?
Hope that made sense, thanks.

If you want to get rid of it forever, you could also snip and delete it:
Move the red timeline to the spot where you want to snip and remove the silence before your music comes in. Press Command T to snip. Then click anywhere in the work area to deselect all segments. Then select the beginning silent segment by clicking on it, and delete. Do the same at the end.

I have had to delete my icloud account and open up another because it would not verify. In the meantime I have lost my storage which was attached to the previous email account. I would like to know how I can transfer it across to my existing account?

Thanks randers4. Reading through other discussion points, other people have similar problems. I thought and still do, that the easiest option was to delete and open up another. That worked fine except I remembered that I had some storage attached to that icloud address. I live in New Zealand.

How do I log out of my email account to allow someone else to log in

In mail app, you can remove the account and add theirs in settings>Mail, Calendars,Contacts.
or add theirs only and in mail, go up a level and view each inbox seperately.
The ipad is not designed for multi-user use however so it is not easy.
