"Clear All Messages" Idea.

"Clear All Messages" Idea:
Problem: Over time, messsages conversations on iOS devices take up a significant amount of space. Currently, there is no option to clear all messages conversations with a single click.
Solution: Create a "Clear all Messages" button in the messages app.
Details:
Text messages can take up a lot of space on your iOS device, especially if you send or receive a lot of photos and videos from family and friends via iMessage. If you have the 32GB or 64GB device, this may not concern you but for those of us who have the 16GB model, free space is often a concern. I have noticed that the free space on my device can be dramatically increased when I erase all my messages conversations. The problem is that to do this I must go through and delete each conversation individually, which is quite annoying when you have a lot of conversations. I am asking Apple to consider making a "Clear All Messages" button within the messages app to allow users to clear all their conversations in order to free up space.
I did not know where to post this so please reply to this if you think this should be posted in another location.
Thanks

Clearing Multiple Messages in 11.1.1.7

In 11.1.1.5 this code worked to clear multiple messages when a single field was updated.
In 11.1.1.7 the clearAllMessages method is protected so I can no longer use this code, how do I do something similar in 11.1.1.7?
Thanks,
John
<af:resource type="javascript">
function clearMessagesForComponent(evt) {

put autoSubmit to true for inputText. Hope it works. if it doesn't work, try to set autoSubmit to true and write valueChangeListener to that input text and remove clientListener. In valueChangeListener, do the following code based on your conditions. This will clear all messages.
        Iterator<String> itMessages = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessages();
        while(itMessages.hasNext()) {
            itMessages.next();
            itMessages.remove();

My existing purchases have INSTALL next to them, but when I try click on them it says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works). Any idea

Hi - in the app store, I've logged in with no problem, but when I go into my existing purchases and have INSTALL next to everything I've bought, and try to click on them it says;
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)".
I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works), and also buying and downloading more music from iTunes too (so I update all T&C's etc too, and update all payment info). But nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot, Greg

I have cleared all apps from my ipad. How do yo get rid of calendars and delete saved messages which is taking all mt storagw

I have cleared all apps but still not able to download a rented movie. The only spot where I have data stored is in saved messages andd calendars. Cannot find the saved messages and cannot delete calendars. Any other suggestions because this was a very stupid purchase if you only have enough storage for the standard apps.

Go to: Settings>General>Usage>and see what is eating up all of your memory. After you find what is eating up most of your memory just delete it thru:Settings>General>Usage. I would not think your calendars and messages would take up all of your memory.
Cheers,
Alec

I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

i been trying to purchase music and get into my itunes account but error -1202 won't allow me to get into my account or purchase music. I spoken with the so called experts at apple and they've been putting me through the ringer with their suggestions that don't work. i've been purchasing music all before with no problems why all of a sudden this problem? Can someone please tell what to do or give any suggestions as to why this is occuring.

How do i clear unread messages indicated as 10 unread. all messages have been read.

I have no blue dots next to any messages in all my mailboxes. I have read all messages and i see All Inboxes (10) as though there are 10 unread messages. how can i clear the 10?

Well, you can try restoring your iPad then. Note this process will remove all messages from all your email accounts on the iPad, but if you're OK with that:
Plug your iPad into your computer and sync with iTunes. Then, while you have your iPad's row selected on the left, click the "Restore" button on the right.

When i restart the weblogic server 9.2,all messages in Topic get cleared

Hi,
          When i restart the weblogic server 9.2,all messages in Topic get cleared for inactive dudrable subscribers.
          Please advise what the issue here.
          Thanks.

Hi Tom, Thanks you so much for spending your time on this issue.
          A)I didn't specify any persistent mode.so i believe default mode is "Persistent"
          B) when i click on durable subscribers link on the corrersponding Topic it is showing 2 users.
          actually these durable subscribers are created by executing below code after look up the Topic.
          TopicSubscriber tsub = ts.createDurableSubscriber(topic,"mysub");
          C) Delivery Mode Override is set to "No-Delivery".
          but Time-to-Live Override is set to 21600000 .
          i assume Time-to-Live is causing problem.
          Please advise.
          Thanks.

How do I clear all my messages on my iphone 4S as I cannot gain access to my messages at all?

Firstly, I receive sms's (alarm signals) on a daily basis and have not been deleting them due to the fact that I want to keep record of them in the event that I may be needing them as evidence at a later stage. It has now reached the stage where I cannot open my messages at all. I only get a blank screen which eventually returns to the menu.
At present I have 1904 unopened messages due to this.
What do I do to gain access to my messages and how do I clear all my messages on my iphone 4S so that I can start fresh? I have already created a backup.

Thanks for the information, but that was the first thing I did and without any positive result.
Let me give a bit more detail of the actual problem.
My Messages Icon indicates that I have 2325 unread messages. This is true, because when I do tap the Icon to enter the Messages I get a totally blank screen. This screen eventually returns back to the menu page.
I believe that I have to many messages on the phone and therefore I am sitting with this problem and would like to erase all messages.
I have tried reseting the phone and reactivating it from a backup, but this still reloads all the messages back as well. So I am totally frustrated.

Numbers: two sets of numeric data in one cell. Delete, clear all deletes one set only. Cell is not "locked" Ideas?

Numbers: two sets of numeric data in one cell. Delete, clear all deletes one set only. Cell is not "locked" Ideas?

You will really need to explain in a little more detail what you mean by "two sets of numeric data in one cell".
Also, is this Numbers for OS X? You are in the iOS forum.

just do a reset, you lose no data.
hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.
