After upgrading to ios 5, I now have over 3000 emails on my phone. how do i delete all of them as they are months old?

I have been recieving and deleting my emails via my POP server successfully on my iPhone successfully for years. Now that I've upgraded to ios 5, I have over 3000 emails on my iphone that are weeks / months old. They were deleted off my phone in the past.
How can I do a "mass" delete of these emails from my phone? It is extremely time consuming and frustrating to "select" each old email then delete. I've been doing this for 100 emails at a time but there has to be another and easier way.
Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources.
FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
Thanks again for your help. I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......

My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac. I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac. When I try to delete them, they keep coming back. They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac. I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them. When I do, they just come back. Frustrated ...

This is a Gmail issue.
It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this. When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac. However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
There are 2 solutions to this:
1) If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP. You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
2) From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails. Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
This is not something Apple can address. It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1. I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08. I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents. I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first. I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac. Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

I have a verizon 4g that I upgraded to ios 5. I have three yahoo email addresses, the primary one didn't transfer the password. When I went to put it in it said "Server Unavailable" Please try again later. I have been trying since Thursday to fix this.

I upgraded my verizon 4g phone to ios 5 on Thursday. Everything seemed to transfer ok however of my three yahoo accounts, the primary one's password didn't transfer. I went to settings, mail, selected the email address and input the password however it won't take it and gives me the following error "Server Unavailable Please try again later". I have attempted to try again, no good. I have attempted to restore the phone, even worse, then none of the three email accounts (all yahoo) will take the password. As it is the other two accounts currently work on the phone as the phone is after upgrading. Please help!

Yes, someone posted a bypass and it works! Go to settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Add Account > select "OTHER" > add mail account > follow prompts > (IMAP) for incoming mail server host name input imap.mail.yahoo.com, user name and password > for outgoing mail server input smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
I contacted Apple. They are aware of the problem. Apparently the ios5 is having issues with yahoo mail. It has nothing to do with waiting etc... I updated my software on Thursday and have continually been attempting to go through yahoo but it won't work. The Apple technician I spoke to assured me they were working on it and to check with updates regularly to see if they have resolved the problem. Hope this is helpful.

For some reason i now have two iMovie apps on my Mac how do i remove one of them?

Cpould anyone advise me how to remove one of the copies of Imovie from my Mac, unless of course there is any advantage to keeping two of the same app on my Mini.
I have never used imovie yet but perhaps i will in the future.

Thanks Geoff
It would appear that the system has resolved the issue for me as i now have only one version after shutting down and starting up today.
Thanks for your prompt responce.

TS4002 Since I installed ICloud, I get email in each of my 4 email accounts but it is old deleted emails. It says I have over 3000 emails. When I delete 50 in each address, I get 50 more. I am back to September now. This is very annoying and time cons

Since I installed ICloud, I have had problems sending email and it insists on pulling from over 3000 old emails. I get 50 at a time in each of 4 accounts. As soon as I delete them (manually), I get 50 more. I am now back to September. These emails were long deleted off my PC so I don't even know where they came from. How can I get rid of all these and have my I phone only give me recent, undeleted emails?
Failing that, how can I remove Icloud without losing my address book, etc.

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

After restoring my 3Gs I now have duplicate--sometimes triplicate calendar entries. How can I delete the duplicates from the phone?

On the info tab I'm told that my calendar is being synced through MobileMe and directly with the computer resulting in duplicated data. How do I prevent that? And how do I now delete the duplicates from the phone?
I notice that the entries from the computer show "Busy" in the status while the others--probably from MobileMe-- do not.
Ron

Solved the problem...I think. In the Calendar app I clicked on the Calendars button. There I found, under Show All Calendars "From My Mac." There I found not only the calendars as they appear in iCal and MobileMe, but the same items with brackets containing my MobileMe address plus other info that isn't visible enough to see what it is (looks like "@calendar).

TouchID no longer works after upgrading to iOS 8.1 on iPhone 6 Plus

TouchID no longer works for unlock after upgrading to iOS 8.1
I have tried removing my fingerprints on file and re-adding without any noticed improvement in performance.

Try a quick and rissoles Reset by holding the Sleep / Wake button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo shows then release the buttons and wait until the lock-screen returns. Now open you iPhone with your code and then click the Sleep / Wake button and then depress only the Home button. Now try you finger print.
