How can i delete messages that are saved on imessage

Hi. I have an iPhone 5s (16gb). I have no storage left on my phone and for some reason whenever I try to send someone who has and who doesn't have an iPhone a message through iMessage, my message send but i don't receive any messages. When I click send my message goes through but it still says sending on the top. I tried restarting my phone and backing it up but the problem is not not resolved.  I was looking at my settings the other day and realized the my 'saved' messages on iMessages take up 11.0gb. I found this out by clicking settings -> general -> usage. I figured maybe this might be the problem because I have no storage left due to my messages. How can I delete these 'saved' messages so i can have enough storage to update my phone (my phone hasn't been updated since 6/2014)? Another issue I'm having due to my lack of updating my phone is that my camera roll application always crashes on me and is constantly restoring my photos. It attempts to restore but it then says I have 0 photos. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Brian,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone.
I found the steps to delete a song from your iPhone on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide ( http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf ):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

  • How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

    Hello fellow apple fans,
    I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
    Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
    Thanks for your help

    Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
    I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them).  Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

    When I try to delete an email, I get a message whih says "The message connot be sent to the mailbox Trash. How can I delet messages?

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder (or whatever it is called by yor provider) so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails

  • How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

    How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted.  Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First off.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
    Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
    On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
    If you "close"  or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
    This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
    The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
    The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
    However this only happens once.  When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
    This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
    It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

  • HT201317 How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud as Albums?

    When I plugged in my IPhone to my computer my photos in albums duplicated several times. How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud? It's really frustrating since I am having several copies of photos on my phone. Please advise..thank you. Judy

    If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll.  If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

    I am looking for the place where I can go and see everything that I have backed up in the past that remains in the cloud, so I can go in and edit that. Does anyone know how to get rid of what has been backed up before?
    You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup.  If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them.  Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

  • How can I receive messages that I erased?

    How can I receive messages that I have erased?

    You can text with anybody using your Android phone no matter what type of phone the other person is using. The phones will be using standard SMS text messaging. You cannot use your iPad to text with Android devices, Messages on the iPad only works with other Apple iOS devices.
    If your friends are trying to message you from their iPhones to your iPad, they have to send the text to your Apple ID email address and you have to set up messages to use your Apple ID instead of the iPhone number. Your Apple ID should already be accessible in the settings since you have to set up Messages with your Apple ID in the first place.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Your Apple ID email address. Select the Apple ID in there.

    How can I make sure that itunes saved contacts and photos FROM my iPhone on last back up ?, i just bought this phone and store transfer contacts from old non-smart phone and dont want to loose them !

    Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

    Search any of the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch forums for "flash". You'll find a number of threads on the issue with suggestions for alternative app/service combinations that allow viewing of some Flash content.

  • I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

    Hello,
    I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.
