Can't delete old message

I'm on an iPhone. Everything updated.
When I select a person to talk to, any person, part of an old message is already typed in for me and ready to send. This isn't the first time it's happened but I couldn't get rid of it last time either. It just went away with an update or something.
Any advice? Does this happen to anyone else? It's really annoying to have to delete the old message and type my new one every single time.

However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can't delete old messages

I have some old messages that were imported sometime back, and I want to delete them, but they won't delete! I have tried to move them to trash, to move them again...nothing seems to work.
They turn black (ie, lose their color coding) but they just sit in the folder.
Any tips?
Can I go into the mail folders in "Library" and delete them from that end?

I am using an iMac 2.4 Intel Core 2 running OX 9.2

Hi,
Could you manage to grab a Screen Shot of that ?
CMD + SHIFT + 4 and describe around the area.
It can then be posted here using the camera icon in the reply field.
I get the impression that the side bar shows several conversations or chats and that clicking on one is not being that one to the "front" or make it the focused Chat is any way.
If a dialogue box is appearing at this stage it would appear to be one I have not seen before unless you are choosing Delete from a Right click menu or the File Menu which make this one pop up.
Does the selected Chat/conversation appear in the Recent Items List ?
Can you access it from there ?
The default length of the list is 10 items set in System Preferences > General pane (along with Servers and Applications as "Documents").
If the Conversation is before this it will have been dropped from the list.
It is late where I am and it will be some time before I reply again.

How can I delete old messages in my mail app. I set it up a yr ago but I don't use it. I go directly to my mail account to retrieve my mail.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

Im trying to delete old messages from my iphone 4 but how can i view them on a computer to make it easier?

hi i have recently backed up my iphone 4 to do a wipe of my phone. i got all my info back on it but was wondering how can i view my messages on my computer so that i can delete old messages from months ago without actually having to delete the recent ones?

The backup includes text messages but they are stored in a format meant only for restoring back to the phone. There are 3rd party backup extractors that can view them. One of them is http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

Hello everyone,
How can I delete text messages from my iphone? I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

Can't delete old pictures

Is anyone have the same problem: I used iPhoto since a while.
I upgrade to iPhoto 09 last month.
Today, I am organizing my pics and I am unable to delete pictures !
I can delete fresh pictures (I mean picture I just uploade from my camera)
I can't delete old picture from 2-3 month...?
I delete and the spinning icon (for waiting) kepps on turning and the iPhoto freeze...
This problem occurs when I try to delete one our a group of picture.
I changed nothing in the parameters.
I haven't lock any file.

I am having the same problem, having recently switched from 08 to 09. I can't delete photos as the machine hangs up and shows me the dreaded beach ball and (not responding) message - I have tried different ways to delete and different numbers of photos, hoping one my be the source of my problem. I have rebuilt my libraries - all things that I see being recommended on this site.
It has hung up on me numerous times while trying to perform other tasks as well, such as batch changes or changes to dates and times, cut and pasting between events and related type tasks. Apple is getting a ton of messages from Force Quit. Any other suggestions? The only thing I haven't done is try to re-install. Getting pretty frustrating.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :
