Deleting IM and mail messages does not free up space

I have a 250mb of available storage on my iphone 5. My big usages are in Photos& Camera (3.8GB), Messages (2.6GB), Music (1.3 GB), and Mail (1 GB). I've deleted all my sent and trash emails, many pictures and videos, and almost all of my text/IM messages. But, the amount of space occupied by these apps NEVER goes down! No matter what I deleted, the storage usage by these apps stays the same!! Help!

I exchange short videos of golf swings and pics on IM and email as well. But most of these have all been deleted. The problem is that no matter what I delete no space is freed up.

Fetch new mail messages does not work

On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
Settings:
- Fetch new messages: every minute
- Play sound Purr
I need to us the manual button.
On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

Exfat drive does not free up space after deleting files

My external exfat formatted drive does not free up space after deleting files using a mac....however if I delete files using a PC, it will free up space.
I've even tried the *erase free space* using Disk Utility, but nothing.....
Thoughts/Suggestions??

Thanks for the suggestion.
I ran WhatSize and here is the result. Oddly, it says there is 40.2 GB used (in the top-left) which conflicts with the information directly below it: "Capacity 108 GB, Used 103GB, Available 4.27 GB". Not so helpful.
Disk Inventory X solved the problem, however. Much thanks! I wasted most of my weekend troubleshooting this sad issue. Anyway, Disk Inventory X revealed a bug where my external hard drive for photos was still appearing as a mounted volume, even though the HD was no longer connected. Freaky.
After moving it to the trash and deleting it, I've recovered the space.
Again, thanks! Contact me if you're curious about the details, as this might help you diagnose similar problems in the future.

Deleting videos does not free up space

I recently recorded a handful of videos (about 15 minutes worth) that brought my iPhone to full capacity. I deleted them, but didn't notice much space getting cleared up. I needed to record some more videos last night, and noticed I did not have enough space, so I connected to iTunes and unchecked "sync all music" to remove my music from the phone. This freed up about 1.5 gigs of space, enough to record what I needed. I noted at this time in my settings under Usage, that my "Photos and Camera" was listing 3.1 GB. I recorded the videos I needed, synced them to my computer, and deleted them, but now I'm still seeing my "Photos & Camera" as 5.1 GB, and I no longer have any free space, and cannot put my music back on my phone.
I have double checked to make sure they are stuck in iCloud somewhere (My Photo Stream is turned off) and I have quit the Photos and Camera applications, done a Soft Reset, synced with iTunes, but to no avail, I can't seem to get my space back! I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue, but it was hard to find search words that didn't turn up posts about upgrading iOS (which I also need to do!).
Is this a known issue? Is there any way to do a trash collection on the iPhone that will clear up unlinked memory? It's quite a bit of a problem for me to not have any more available space on my Phone even though I deleted the things that were previously taking it up!

Go back into the "Photos" app. Go to "Albums". Are your videos etc still sitting there in "Recently deleted" ? If they are - delete them from there too.

Suddenly my trash box is empty and when I delete an e-mail it does not appear in the trash anymore

Just recently I've been receiving spam and e-mails not addressed to me. My "trash box" is empty and when I delete an e-mail it doesn't move to the trash box. I haven't made any changes. I don't appear to have a "junk" box and when I delete junk mail is just disappears.

fixed it myself..... problem gone

Exchange mail messages does not load

After being using sucessfuly IPAD with Exchange Outlook anywhere (owa) for more than 6 months messages headers are downloaded but after click to check the message body, it takes a while and message can not be shown. There is any clue?
Activesync or OWA is working perfectly when using via www.
Outlook account in laptop also is working fine.
Best Regards

I'd first rule out memory issues by following the restart/reset/restore troubleshooting path. Several users I've worked with that have had delivery issues have fixed it this way.

Deleted events in iMovie 10 does not reduce used space on hard drive

The used space on my hard drive doesn't reduce when I delete big footage (events) in iMovie 10.0.1. The deleted events were not moved to system garbage like in iMovie 11.
Any exlanation for that?

It depends on how you migrated from iMovie 11. When you convert your Events and Projects from iMovie 11, you have the option to keep your iMovie 11 Events and Projects. If you do, the iMovie 10 Events are created by using Hard Links to the files. This means that iMovie 11 and iMovie 10 both can point to the same file. Therefore, it does not take up any more space to have events for both iMovie 10 and 11. On the other hand, If you delete an Event from iMovie 10, but do not delete the corresponding event from iMovie 11, you do not gain any disk space back.
Also, note that if you ever move or copy these events to another drive, the hard link will not carry over. At that point, both the events will take up space (basically doubling the space needed.)

Number of mail messages does not match the number in mail activity

This is not a big deal but I have noticed that when mail arrives the Mail Activity window tells me how many incoming messages are being downloaded. This number often bears no relationship to the number that arrive. For example it might read 4 messages are downloading when in reality only 1 arrives. If I look at my webmail all messages are listed. Does anyone know what causes these inconsistencies?

I do not have any answer, but I have the same problem. AND the RSS feeds do not make up the difference; and yesterday I disabled junk mail filtering. And I've made certain that I have no unread mail left over. Yet Mail Activity reported downloading 16 messages, but I only received 8. This happens daily, but the proportion of unaccounted emails varies.

Deleting from USB does not free up space

I have a USB flash memory drive and when I delete files from it for some reason the space that the file used is not freed up. For example if I delete a file that is 6MB it will still say that 6MB is in use even though I have deleted it. I exchanged the drive for a different one but I am having the same problem with the new one. Any suggestions (other than going in to disk utility every time to erase the whole thing)?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I got this far, too. I emptied the trash and the 'get info' for a SanDisk USB flash drive shows that it is empty (249.7 MB available). When I tried to load 103 photos all at once I get the "not enough space" message. When I load the files in increments of 5-10 files it works up to a point and then I get the "not enough free space" message, when I try to load one more file. This is after I've loaded about 103 MB onto the drive. Yet, when I 'get info' on the flash drive it shows plenty of space still available.
I have even checked the USB flash drive on a windows machine as well and it also indicates the same amount of free space.
Any suggestions?

When an app update is available in the ipad appstore, a WAITING message appears under the app and the installation does not proceed

When updates are available in the ipad app store, I click on install and under the app a WAITING message appears. No installation is done and the message does not disappear. I have tried hard and soft resets without success. The ipad (1st gen) runs under iOS 5.0.1. I now have 5 apps waiting for installation of updates.

You can also finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updates to the iPad. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store>Check for Available Downloads.

My mail program does not update when I delete emails in my other email programs (i.e. it still shows messages in my mail inbox when I've deleted them). I think this started with Maverick? Any solutions?

My macbook pro with OS 10.6.7 'mail' program does not send my mail through the IPS wireless, I am connected to. The message is my 'e-mail is rejected by the server'. It has been working until 5 days ago. The connection doctor says I am connected and no log in required.
After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
Thanks for your help

I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck
Bob
