How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

As per email.
Hi,
In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
Navigate to the Preferences folder.
Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
On the iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages  and check the app is ON first.
Then check the Send and Receive Section.
This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
(I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Please stick to one method of asking me  (The thread will do for now.)
I am here 3 hours every evening.
I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that.  (The Status Message one will not)
You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font  is the answer.

    How can I completely delete an app from my Macbook Pro?

    For programs that do not require an Administrator's password to install on your Mac, drag its program icon to the Trash. For those that require a password, research its developer's website or other support options for specific uninstallation instructions.
    Never use all-purpose "cleaners" or "zappers" or similarly named clever utilities to uninstall anything.

  • How can i completely delete an app from my "app purchased" account

    my son purchased an app which we want to completely delete from "apps purchased" file,
    can delete it fr the home screen but, its still "on" the apps purchased (but not on this device option)
    any ideas please

    You can't.  The Purchased List is not user modifiable since its what Apple uses to know what Apps you can re-download without having to pay for them again.
    You can however Hide the App so it does not appear on the List.

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

  • HT204022 i had an ipad and mac air,,my concern is all my photos from my iPad is still there i already tried to delete and transfer  it to my mac air but still some of photos from photo stream still in my iPad how can i completely delete all photos from my

    To transfer your photos:
    Transfer and erase the Camera Roll:
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture.
    Select your iPad in the Devices list and click "Import all".
    When the import finishes, you can erase the contents of the Camera Roll, if you want. That would be the quickest way, but deleting it on the iPad in the Photos.app would be safer, but more work.
    Delete photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
    Delete the Photo Stream contents:
    How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
    You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

  • How can I completely remove music files from my mac? (sorry if repost)

    I am currently enjoying a 15' MacBook Pro (Mac Os X 10.6.4) and have upgraded to Itunes 10. Recently, I decided to delete all my music files and start over. To avoid duplicate files I followed the advice on this link - (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224) ; However, when I downloaded Itunes 10 again, my music was still there. Please help! I really want to start with a clean slate and have the peace of mind, knowing that there are no hidden music files on my mac taking up space. Looking forward to some great help.

    Recently, I decided to delete all my music files and start over.
    Why? Much easier to clean up what you do have.
    To avoid duplicate files I followed the advice on this link -(http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224)
    That simply removes the iTunes application. It will not remove any of the library or media files.
    All the media files and library files are in /Music/iTunes/ folder.

    Do you have these music files stored elsewhere? You do not get to redownload any iTunes store purchases.

    If you go to your purchases in iTunes you will find everything you have downloaded (apps,music,movies etc.). how do you completely delete an app or movie, not how do you hide the app, but how you delete it forever.

    You can't.

    how can I completely delete imessagefrom my Iphone 5?

    The Messages app is a built in application. It can't be deleted. You could move it to a folder or to the last home page so that you don't have to look at it.

  • I watched TV shows in my iPhone, deleted them, but still occupy space in my iPhone! How can I completely delete them?

    I purchased and downloaded 6 episodes of a TV show. I watched them all, then deleted them from iPhone and iPad to free up the space.
    The videos are removed from iPad completely, but when I sync the iPhone the purple bar in iTunes indicates that I still have all the 6 videos! The size of the 6 files and the size of the 6 videos the purple bar indicate are the same. I am not syncing TV shows (Sync TV show isn't selected whenI sync the phone with my computer). How can I completely delete them? 
    Nothing appears in Videos, usage/videos!
    I can't click any TV show to watch in iTunes app either even if I find the same TV shows.
    I have no propblem with iPad, but problem is only with iPhone.
    The videos are not HD.
    Any suggestion to free up the space?
    Thanks!

  • How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ?

    How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ? I delete certain apps from the iPod but they still are listed under 'purchased apps'.
    I need to completely remove then from history as well

    You can't permanently delete any items from you purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : hiding and unhiding.
