How can I delete auto-complete entries in Mail on iPhone?

I've done some searching and I think the answer to my question, at least for now, is "you can't!".  But I'm still open to suggestions.  iOS 5.0.1, if it matters (I need to update my signature).
I was just telling my wife (who is having this issue on her iPhone 4s - with MY work address) that with Apple devices it's either very easy or you can't do it.  I'm afraid this falls into the latter category.  I have just filled out the feedback form.

No. Auto-complete is completely automatic and uses any entry you have made previously in that column.
You can turn it on or off, but the only editing that, to my knowledge, can be done is to:
delete any items entered in the column in error.
select and copy the 'good' items (and the empty cells in the range).
select one or more cells in the column, then go Table (menu) > Delete Column
press option-left arrow to insert a new column in place of the one deleted.
click on the cell where the first item in the list was copied from.
paste
enter the missing items, then continue from the last entered value.
(The auto-completion list will now contain only those values you pasted, plus new values you have since entered in the column.)
Regards,
Barry

  • HT201317 How can i delete the complete Photo Library?

    How can i delete the complete Photo Library, as i can delete from the camera roll, but there dosent seem to be an obvious way to completely delete the Photo Library or items in the library either? There is no delete option like for the user generated albums...
    I have tried deleting from the Camera Storage in the Settings menu, the delete appears but when pressed nothing happens.

    I'm sorry but the way you worded the question I thought you were referring to iPhoto's library on the computer. I don't use an iPhone or the iPhoto app, so I can't answer your question in that regard.
    Since you already marked the topic as solved when it was not, I recommend you re-post your topic. Just use a different topic title such as, "Help with iPhoto app on iPhone 5."

    I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
    1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
    2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
    I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac?

    How can I delete all photographs in stream of my iPhone 4 without loosing them on my mac? Because I have too much photographs
    in my phone's memory and I need to know a simple methode to get them off.

    Login to iCloud.com, hit the "Reset Photo Stream" button. This will delete all photos stored in iCloud, but not any photos pushed to any devices. Then, on your phone, Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>Off. This will delete all photos in your Photo Stream album, on your phone. This will leave them on your Mac as long as you don't turn Photo Stream off on your Mac. If you first import them to your iPhoto library, you can then turn Photo Stream off on your Mac & they will remain in your iPhoto library.

    3. Nothing happened.
    4. Syn once again - Still nothing happened.
    So i'm enquiring how can I delete the entire calendar entries from my iPhone so the next time syn it will syn with my iCal.
    Pls advice, or there's a better way in solving the problem.
    Thank you.

    DEFAULTY CITY? CALENDAR? HUH?
    I am not quite sure what you are asking, but there's this:
    Your location for time purposes is set in System Preferences, Date & Time, Time Zone tab.
    If you are using iCal, there is a Time Zone option in iCal Preferences, Advanced.
