  • How can I delete old addresses from the automatic fill?

    I set up a new account on a G4 PowerMac with 10.3.9 installed. This computer was being used previously by one of my other users. My question is: whenever the new user wants to send a new message and she types in the address she needs to use, it is set to automatically fill the address. All of the old user's addresses still appear as choices. How do I delete all the old addresses? I've already deleted all the old addresses from the address book. But they still appear in the automatic fill. Is there a cache somewhere to empty?
    Help!

  • How to delete old addresses

    Hello, I have had a good bit of time spent on this today, and with alot of input from paypal (to no avail) I have sorted it for myself. If you have loads of old addresses that are now redundant, this is how you get rid of them (its probably a bit long winded, but it is the ONLY way I have found to do it, not even 3 service representatives could do it.....). I will take you through baby steps (stick with me), its a bit odd, but it works. 1. When you have logged into paypal, click on the gear cog (near the log out button)2. Your name then appears in big letters on the middle-ish of the page3. Next to my name, it says "edit"4. Click edit.5. It will ask you if you want to change your name, click cancel6. It will then take you to a more in-depth "My Profile" page7. Third option down will be, "address" (Name, email, address). You can then see all your previous address and remove as necessary.8. Ta-dah! It should now be only the addresses you wish to keep I know its convoluted, but it worked for me. Good luck!!

    Hi, I have a little more info on this topic that I'd like to share.  I thought I had deleted all the old addresses a few months ago -- my current address was the only one that showed up on the main profile page.  Today, I used PayPal to make a purchase online, and it changed the shipping address to one of the addresses I thought I had removed! I found your post, and found the secret profile page.  It still showed 11 addresses, but I got an error when I tried to delete anything, so I called Customer Support.  After fighting with the automated system for a while, I finally got a person and explained it to her, including how to find the secret page.  It took her a while, but she was able to delete all the old addresses!  Much happiness and cheering ensued. So the moral of the story is that, if you can't delete them yourself, MAYBE an informed Customer Service person can do it.  

  • Address change/Deleting old address??

    I am having a problem deleting the "old" address when I have entered the new changed address in the Address Book. Even though the old address does not show as a card in Address Book, when entering the address for the recipient in mail, the "old" address pops in.
    How do I remove all the old addresses?

    In Mail, go to Window->Previous Recipients and delete the old address.

  • How to delete old addresses that appear in auto complete list in iMessage

    Mavericks 10.9.1
    iMessage Version 8.0 (4218)
    MBP Late 2011
    When typing in the name of a contact I want to message, a list of addresses appears as an auto-complete/auto-fill list. 
    One address is no longer used and I would like to delete that particular address. 
    The address is not on the contact card. 
    I'm sending a message via iMessage to another iMessage verified address on an Apple device(s). 
    My iCloud contacts are synced correctly with iphone/ipad/MBP.
    Thanks

    First, search Contacts to make sure the address doesn't appear on any card. If it doesn't, continue.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How do I delete old addresses out of maps on my iPhone6?

    There's a long list of addresses in my maps app that I'd really love to get rid of, but see no way to do it. Am I stuck going through this list of addresses every time I use maps? Is there seriously no way to delete them? I have an iPhone 6 running the latest operating system.
    Thanks,
    Darlee

    On my 5s the following works: Open Maps, tap in the search/address field, tap "Favorites" then tap "Recents" at the bottom and Clear at the top.

  • My address book on my laptop will not delete old addresses and willl not accept new addresses how do I fix that?

    I did receive a fix some time ago from a generous person but due to my age 75 the answer was Greek to me. So the problem still stands - could the instructions be posted once again?

  • Unable to Delete OLD (prior to 2009) Addresses from the Previous Recipients List using ANY Method

    How do I delete OLD addresses in the "Previous Recipients List? I am unable to delete OLD addresses (last used years, 2007 & 2008) using the button "Remove From List" or clicking on the address when it is displayed in Mail & selecting "Remove from Previous Reciopients List."

    Solved:  When composing an email and beginning to type an email address, you are prompted with autofillins.  There is a small x to the right of the name.  If you wish to delete the autofillin, then click on the x and Yahoo will remove it from the options in the future.

  • Mail 2.1--remove old addresses?

    Using Mail 2.1...how can I delete old addresses from the cache? For example, if "[email protected]" has changed his address to "[email protected]", both addressed still appear in the auto-fill-in list if I type "c..." I'd like to able to delete the old one and other addresses that I no longer use. I can easily reset Safari, but I don't see what I need under Mail Preferences.

    Doesn’t typing remove old address (or remove address, or just address) in Mail Help’s search box return any useful information?

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How can I remove old deleted email addresses from my 'To' choices field

    When I input an email address in my email 'TO' box old deleted email addresses still appear as choices. Is there any way of deleting these old addresses permanently? Very annoying!

    There is no way to delete the remembered email addresses in the mail app. Removing them from your Contacts has no bearing on how this affects the mail app. The only real way to delete those remembered addresses is to restore the iPad to factory settings. That is a pretty harsh workaround just to have the mail app forget some email addresses.
    If you ignore those addresses, eventually they will go away, but it can take some time before that happens. There is nothing short of restoring to factory settings that you can do now to remove them.

  • I'm trying to update my apps but itunes is defaulting to an old deleted email address, how can I change it?

    I'm trying to update my apps on my ipad, but when I go to updates itunes has suddenly defaulted to an old deleted email address, how can I fix this? When I go into settings on my ipad the email address is correct, it's just itunes thats causing a problem. Can someone please help, I cant access the deleted email address and when I try to answer the security questions Apple is telling me that I have entered the incorrect date of birth.....I haven't forgotten my date of birth.... this is so frustrating. What can I do?????

    Is it a different account e.g. did you update your account with a new email address or did you create a new account ? If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if the updated id then shows in the Purchased tab.
    If you created a new account then all apps (and any other content) downloaded by the old account will remain tied to the old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps (and/or redownload its purchases). If you can't remember its password, and can't get the security questions reset (you don't have a rescue email address on the account ?), then you have need to contact Support in your country to get the questions and password reset.
