Deleting e-mails on phone but not on computer?

How can I delete e-mails on my iphone without deleting them in my computer?

I think it is supposed to, it doesn't make any sense to limit it just to calendars and contacts.
When I delete on the iPhone, it goes to the trash can, and that also updates on the cloud when I log into me.com. But for some reason, it still retains a copy of it in the inbox, effectively ignoring the delete on the iPhone.
So I end up with 2 copies of the e-mail, the original one in the inbox, and one in the trash can. It seems to copy it there rather than move/delete it.
There's definitely something wrong with mobile me IMO. I hope it gets fixed real soon.

How do I delete an app from my phone but not the computer? Is there a way to deactivate it so it doesn't add it back when it syncs?

How do I delete and app from my phone but not from the computer? Is there a way to do this so it doesn't add it back in when it syncs?

In iTunes under the Apps tab for the iPhone device just uncheck any app you don't want synced to the phone. When you next sync the app will be removed from the phone but remain in the iTunes library.

How do I delete e-mail from iphone but not server?

Hi, I don't want to delete e-mails from my server when I delete them from my phone - I can't see how to change the settings ....can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

For one of my Yahoo mail accounts I'm getting mail on my phone but can't get it on my mac. My other mail accounts work fine. It was working until a few days ago.

I believe that you must pay a fee in order to have have it sent to the macbook. For my Yahoo account it is a yearly fee of $20.

When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

New emoticons on phone but not on computer skype

Why does my phone (Android Galaxy S4) have more emoticons than my computer? While my phone has (poke) and the new movie of Disney, the 5 emoticons and etc, my computer does not have those. Why is that the phone has more? and yes I have the latest update.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Phones, other devices or OSs carry their own set of emoticons supported by their OS. They do not originate from Skype. So another galaxy S4 or similar device owner may see those emotes but other machines will only see their text equivalent.

How to delete items from itunes library but not from computer

I was wondering if there is a way to remove items from my itunes library but still keep them on my computer in case I want to put them back in the library later. For instance, I bought the first season of Desperate Housewives, which takes up about 4.5 GB, and since I have the 30 GB ipod and lots of personally ripped DVDs, I'm running out of room. But it seems a waste to trash the files, since I paid for the show. I know I should back up the files to an external source anyway, and I've done that with my purchased music, but I don't have a DVD burner, and I'm not sure how many CDs it would take to back up the show. And I don't want to manually update the ipod because I think it's much easier to just plug it in and let it do its thing. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to that File(s) and right-Click to Remove; then it will ask you if you want to send it to the Recyle bin or Keep Files on your computer; Say Keep Files on your computer and should be fine.

Songs will play on my phone but not on computer so can i transfer them back to the computer?

What im wondering is if i can transfer songs back to the computer. Random songs on itunes just randomly changed to being unable to locate on itunes. I have searched on the computer for them but cant seem to find them and some were downloaded off of itunes while some were transfered by disc. All the songs missing are scattered around all the devices in the family and i hope that we can get them off of the devices.

Hi ScoutMaster4,
Thanks for the question, and great job so far. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You may have already attempted to track down the lost content, but I wanted to provide you with this article just in case:

If your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

And finally, you can transfer the purchases back to your computer by following these steps:

Did you create a new Apple ID or just change the email address for the existing?

FaceTime works on phone but not computer

My FaceTime works on my phone but not my computer, though my Wifi works fine for any other internet application. Why can't I use FaceTime on my computer?

The Version of Snow Leopard is 10.6
My only thought as to why Facetime is not working is because of the recent changeover to iOS 6.
Apple are obviously trying to get everyone on to Mountain Lion, but some users, including myself
prefer to wait a while to let the gremlins get sorted.
Any ideas on the above will be welcome

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.

You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

How can I set my Iphone 4s to delete hotmail from phone but NOT server at home?

I can't seem to figure out how to set phone so that I can delete messages (hotmail) from phone but have them remain on server (home computer)? I've had to recently delete and then re set my hotmail account and when I did this, I seem to have lost the ability to delete from phone and save on home computer. thanks

You're using an IMAP account. Not sure if you can set up hotmail as a POP account.

HT1495 how to delete apps when using one account for iphone 4s and ipod4, can delete from phone but not ipod

How do we delete apps from ipod 4 when using same account as iphone 4s, we can delete from the phone but not the ipod, and when i get an app on my phone it automatically comes up on the ipod and visa versa, now ipod is full,

Read the article from which the thread was posted, it clearly defines how to use multiple iDevices on a single computer.
Sharing an Apple ID is not an issue.

I had the Siri app before it was added to all iphones and when Apple added it mine quit working. I deleted mine from my phone but do not see how to get it back. any suggestions?

apparently I have just an iphone 4 not 4s, so thank you.
It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it. But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app. That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'.

Hi chrisb64054279,
Are you referring to files stored in your Acrobat.com online account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? If so, what happens when you try to delete the files? Are you receiving an error message?
Please provide a few more details about the issue that you're encountering, including what operating system you're on, and what browser you're using (if any). We'll get this sorted out.
