Are imessages stored on apple server and how to delete

are imessages stored on an apple server,
if so , how would i permanently delete these ?
i could not find an imessage help guide on the apple website
thanks

Hi,
It remains unclear.
If for instance you Mac is Off line and you have an iPhone iMessages conversation then when the Mac and Messages is turned On the Conversation will sync - even if you have deleted parts (individual IMs) on the iPhone or even an iPad.
In this case "Sync" seems to be "Display on All Devices"  rather than a full on "Copy what I do with this on All Devices"
However adding a new iPhone to be used with the same Apple ID does not transfer/sync all recent iMessages to that iPhone.
The iMessages are not part of the iCloud web page.  In fact the Apple ID used does not have to be an iCloud one.
There seems to be no other contact with the server other than "registering" and Apple ID and the Logging and then syncing/Displaying of iMessages.

  • Where are bookmark bar in safari iphone4 and how to delete ?

    T

    Sounds like you may be syncing your iPhone with a mac running Safari.  You need to go to Safari on your mac, open Preferences, go to the Bookmarks tab and uncheck "Include bookmarks bar".  Now if you resync your phone with iTunes it should remove this from your phone.

  • Siri Question - Voice Files Sent and Stored to Apple Server

    I have read online that when we use Siri, the voice file is sent to Apple and is stored for 2 years for analysis and improvement to Siri functionality.  My question is in regards to the voice to text functionality.  When I click on the microphone on the keyboard to do voice to text, are these files considered Siri files and are also stored on the server?  Or is it when I'm using Siri, holding down the home button, to text someone or look up when movies are showing nearby, is it those files that are being stored?
    I'm not sure if there is a difference between the voice to text vs. holding the home button for Siri and whether the files being sent to Apple are treated any differently.  Thanks...

    Gods this forum is neglected. Oracle where are you guys? Pretty lame effort on helping out the workers. I know use TARs and all that but why have a forum if you don't support it?
    Anyways. It seems that if you want your clients to be able to save email in a PST then you could do the Oracle/MS suggested method of not saving sent items and using a rule to push em into a PST. However that is pretty lame for a rollout and far to manual.
    You can however create a com add-in to do this. Here are some promising links on getting your sents in a PST. I am hopefully going to get one of these done so I'll share if that happens. I am still interested in alternative solutions for sent items to PST or automating client side rules in outlook.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • HT5621 Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icliid account and I will have mine. how do I do it?

    Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icloud account and I will have mine.
    1. how do I do it?
    2. how do I  transfer her stuff which is in my icloud storage to her new icloud account once this one is created?
    thanks,
    Ari

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her amera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of the notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID

    Thank you so much

    If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

  • Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • My Apple TV memory is getting full.  How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

    My Apple TV memory is getting full.  How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

    Apps cannot be removed much less added to the device.
    Only content from the iTunes store (movies, tv shows, music) can be added/removed on the 1st Gen ATV.
    Again, the 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVS have no onboard storage for content and would generate no such message.
    Just curious, has your ATV been jailbroken?  If it has, no support can be provided via these forums.

    Sounds like your sharing the same apple id.  settings - message -  send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

  • I have an iPad and an iPhone 6. They are on two different Apple ids. How do I do I change the Apple id on my phone to match my iPad?

    I have an iPad and an iPhone 6. They are on two different Apple ids. How do I do I change the Apple id on my phone to match my iPad?

    On the phone, go to Settings, and change the iCloud and iTunes Store AppleIDs (sign out of the one you have, sign into the one you want). Note that you can't transfer apps from one AppleID to another, so you may still be prompted for your old AppleID password to update any apps that you installed under that ID.

  • How to prevent ipad apps from being stored in the iCloud and how to bring them back to the iPad

    I have an iPad Mini Retina with 128GB of storage.  I purchased about a dozen apps and it gets stored in the iCloud and I don't know how to access them on the cloud storage.  Plus I have many apps from me itouch that I use and they are also stored on the iCloud. 
    How can I prevent further apps that I buy from gettting transfer to the iCloud?
    How can I download my existing apps that I purchase and that are from my itouch that are stored in the iCloud into my iPad?
    How do I access my iCloud storage from my iPad?
    Thanks.

    You make it sound like apps are disappearing from your iPad and uploading to iCloud. That's not how it works. Maybe somebody (or you) deleted the apps and you don't realize it.
    You cannot prevent apps from being stored in iCloud. That is one of the reasons for using iCloud. It will store all of your purchased apps and you will be able to download them if you delete them, or if you buy another device that you want to use the apps on.
    If you have apps that are in iCloud, just go to the Purchased Tab in the app store, tap on the Not on this iPad button at the top. Look for any of the apps that you want to download and then tap the cloud icon in order to download them to the iPad. You access your iCloud storage in the purchased tabs of the different stores or in the apps themselves. Any data that is being backed up in iCloud is on the device in the corresponding apps and you don't need to access that data in iCloud. It's at your fingertips already,
    Purchased apps do NOT count against your iCloud storage. If you have 60GB of apps, they do not take up the alloted 5GB of free storage that you get. The app data would count against the storage but not the apps themselves.

  • Where is the printer queue stored - and how to delete all queue jobs?

    I ran into a problem after I installed the Roll paper feeder on my Epson R1800. All of a sudden files will not print anymore.
    One thing that may cause a problem is that there are two previous files (pdf I think) that someone else tried to print yesterday looking for a different printer on regular Letter size paper that are still in the queue because they did not print successfully. Everytime I tell Photoshop to print my photo on the Roll paper, those two old jobs pop back up on the printer queue gui and the system stops saying "wrong paper type for this job". Then I delete those two old jobs so there is only the Roll paper one left but it just sits there and wont print. When I launch the utility to check is all is kosher, sometimes it will give me the ink cartridge levels without a problem but sometimes it claims a communication error. I have re-checked the connection and everything and all is OK. When I launch the printer utility and tell it to print a Nozzle Check test, it prints it without a problem so there really is no prob with the communication.
    When I restart the computer and the printer and try again, the two old jobs that I deleted in the previous step always reappear. So I wonder if, those two pdf jobs are kinda screwing with the system and should be deleted. But as i said, everytime I delete them, they look like they disappear from the list but my photo job just sits there on the queue without printing. The jobs are not stopped and there is no Hold on this one. If I quit and re-launch the print job, the old ones re-appear in the queue. So they must be stored someplace and are not deleting correctly. Does anyone know where this cue file is stored and what it is called? I have looked in Application Support and in Preferences but I can't see anything that looks like it.
    I have downloaded the drivers from Epson for this printer again but that doesn't do anything either. I am using 10.4.11 on an 24 inch iMac intel 2.4Ghz. I only use the stock Apple utilities, no funky third party addon except for the Epson drivers. The printer utilities are:
    Epson Printer Utility v3.01
    Stylus R1800 utility v4.7(161.10)
    Thank you for any help.

    Hooray, we found the problem! BOO, we already found the problem elsewhere!
    Sooo, it seems we have some kind of Permission problem, have you Repaired Permissions ad rebooted?
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    Or we could maybe go back to that window, click on Printers, remove it? (Thinking perhaps the jobs will go away with the printer!?)
    Or would you like to delve into the hidden folders/files to try to handle this?

Maybe you are looking for
