I am a bit ignorant when it comes to my iphone 4. Can somone help me delete saved text messages? I have tried to delete them one by one in my messages, but it still says that I have 2.3 saved messages. I just want to free up space  on my phone.

Dearest Ones in the Apple Tech World,
I need to free up space in my storage, and I can do that if I can figure out how to delete my saved text messages. Anyone out there know how in the world I can accomplish this?
I have tried to delete them one by one, but it still says that I have 2.3 GB of saved messages!
I am not the saviest when it comes to operating this phone. Any help would be appreciated!
THANKS SO MUCH!

There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts,  tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I've tried clearing files and folders and deleting applications but it still says that I have low memory. How do I fix it?

    My MacBook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I have tried deleting applications, files, folders, and it still says I have low memory. What is taking up all that space?

    First -- do the target disk backup.  Somehow get a backup.
    You might try booting to Single user mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492 and removing the files in the command line.  When you put files in the trash, the space is still used up until the trash is emptied.
    using rm command removes it totally.  Just be very careful because you remove the wrong file, and you have to relad the system

  • TS2755 I have deleted almost all of my text messages but for some reason my memory usage still says that i have 3.5 gb of text messages saved. How do i correct this problem?

    Good luck finding the solution. I have another posting https://discussions.apple.com/message/25145839#25145839 on this exact same issue, and that is after looking on my own for the solution on the web and on Apple's forum without any luck for a real solution. Having to RESET a device every time I need to clear out old messages from memory sounds to me like an intended pain from Apple to keep pushing iPhone users to purchase additional iCloud backup plans.

  • HT1848 my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

    my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.  It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done.  The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
    Thanks,

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

  • HT201274 So I have tried to update my iPod touch about 5 times now and it still says there is an error. I,ve erased all my settings and attempted to restore it, but it wont let me. I'm ready to throw it away and find a new product.

    So I have tried to update my iPod touch about 5 times now and it still says there is an error. I,ve erased all my settings and attempted to restore it, but it wont let me. I'm ready to throw it away and find a new product

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

  • HT201318 Are photos included in iCloud? I updated my storage to 15GB (10GB extra), and it is still saying that I have no free storage.

    I updated my storage to 15GB (10GB extra), and it is still saying that I have no free storage.
    When I try to back it up to iCloud on my computer (I thought this was how you get the storage I am owed), even though I have selected to upload to iCloud, it says that my last update was a month ago. However, it says it was backed up to my computer (I definitely have it on the "Backup to iCloud" setting)
    Thanks

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • HT204022 I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    Open the iCloud control panel on your computer and click "Options" next to "Photo Stream". The pictures must not be copied into either of the folders listed, any other folder is fine.
    Before you delete all the photos from your phone I would recommend that you only delete one, at first, to check that it is not deleted from your computer.

  • I deleted all of my photos and even turned off backup data for icloud, but it still says that i am using 4 gigabytes of photos storage.

I backed up all of my photos onto my PC, and then deleted them off of my phone. But it still said that i had 4.7 gigs of photos. So i went to icloud storage and turned photos off for it, but it still said that i was using 4.7 gigs of photos. could someone please help and tell me why this is happening and what i can do to fix this? thank you. I am using an iphone 5s with ios 8

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    If you have not yet Emptied the Trash:
    Recover Files in The Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.

  • I restored my ipod from a previous backup and I lost all of my photos but it still displays that I have 200 whatever photos, I just cant veiw them. Please help me.

    I restored my ipod from a previous backup and lost my photos. The funny thing is, the photo app says that I still have  200 something photos I just can't view them. My iPod says: Unlock your iPod to view your photos.-What does this mean? How can I fix it?

    After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

  • How do I make a notification go away after I have read all the messages and it still says that I have an unread message?

    My messages app says I have an unread message from someone, but I have no unread messages. How do I make the notification go away?

    Hi,
    I have had chats/conversations that have shown the blue "unread" indicator which goes if you reselect the chat but appears again when you select another Chat.
    I have also had the red Unread number indicator showing on the Dock icon badge as a separate issue.
    This second I have resolved in Force Quitting the DOCK in Activity Monitor ( I will use Terminal but prefer an User Interface option).
    The first I tend to solve by dismissing that particular Chat/Conversation.
    As you have tried the DOCK reset method by both the recommended methods of doing so I would try a PRAM/NVRAM reset.
    Restart the Mac holding down the CMD+ALT+P+R keys all at the same time until you have heard three Start up Bongs.
    You can then let the Start up Continue.
