I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts. The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it.  But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Why is my message textbox not empty when i try to write a new message

    Hi all i am having this problem,
    why is my message textbox not empty when I try to write a new message. How to get rid of those text in the new message.

  • When I want to write a "NEW" message the e-mail address won't appear in the To: bar.

    When I want to write a "new" message the e-mail address to whom I'm writing will not come up in the "To" bar or it won't let me type in the address either. I can reply to a message but I can't send a "New" message or "Forward" a message.

    It should be an attachment.  Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message.  A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
    You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

  • I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath  that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches."

    I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath  that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches."  It hasn't, what should I do? Thanks Shawn (Irish Se7en) .

    Can you try to rename (not delete!) the folder named "YOUR_CATALOG_NAME Previews.lrdata" and restart Lightroom?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    Flattening and merging are very similar. The main difference is merging keeps the transparent areas, whereas flattening removes all transparent areas by giving it a white background. A good example of flattening is a jpg image.
    Since you have closed the file by closing photoshop, that means that the history is now gone, no way of undoing.
    So that leaves you with two choices.
    You can either recreate the whole document.
    Or you can make selections of areas you are keeping and moving them one at a time to new layers. Keep each object on a separate layer. Then redo the area behind those objects.

  • When I try to write a new message or reply, mail becomes unresponsive

    Hi hope someone can help, this is driving me nuts..
    All my incoming and outgoing mail is working fine, but when I try to type a new email or reply, mail becomes unresponsive the window flashes and I am unable to type in the To, Subject or Message areas. If I click like mad in these areas sometimes it will respond and I am able to type.
    I have gone though most of the fixes such as "rebuilding mailboxes" "deleting com.apple.mail.plist" etc but still the same.
    Any ideas would be welcome..
    thanks Rusty

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Go to the folder with you Lightroom Catalog (usually in Pictures) and delete the folder ending in .lrpreviews
    This contains the previews for the files Lightroom has linked to. They will need to be rebuilt which can be done while working or selecting an amount you want to rebuild and accessing the rebuild command in the Library Dropdown menu...

  • Superfluous names appear after I type the first letter of a person's name in the address bar of my text message program. How do I delete them. They freqiuently are people I never text, but had a text encounter with i the past.

    Superfluous names appear after I type the first letter of a person's name in the text message address bar. Most of these names are people I rarely if ever have contact with, but may have once or twice. They are not in my contact list. How may I get rid of them?

    They will also be listed in 'Previous Recipients' in Mail. You should also delete them there.

    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search

  • My IPhone used to be synced to my computer.  A new hard drive was installed and now the phone says it's syncing, then a message appears saying the next time my computer is available is will sync.  I've followed the instructions and no success.

    My hard drive burned up and had to be replaced.  When I tried to sync my IPhone after my computer repair, the phone says it's syncing and the icons spin, but nothing happens.  In a few seconds a message appears saying it will sync the next time my computer is available.  I have gone through the instructions and procedures for syncing four times and can not get the thing to sync.  Apparently the phone hasn't synced in a long time.  What do I do to sync my phone again?

    jrmetzger,
    iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
    Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.
