How come I can edit/delete certain messages on Skype?

so as my question states, I can delete some instant message on my Skype but not all of them (I don't want to completely erase the entire thread but just certain messages). when I delete messages, I just hold my finger over the message I want to delete (I'm on android aka mobile Skype) and on certain messages, it gives my the option to either "quote message" and "copy message". and on other certain messages that I send, it also gives me the" edit/quote message" option but it gives me the alternative to "edit message" and "delete message". how come I get the "edit/delete message" choice on some messages but not all.

Looks like you can only edit/delete messages for an hour (60 min) after sending them. You can still edit them from your computer, just not from a mobile device.

HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
activity box was completely blank
shutdown - restart didn't work
I used the help option - still nothing
All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place
Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

How come I can not delete photos in iPhoto?

Why can I not delete photos in the iPad or iPhone. A few photos allow it but most don't. Also, how to copy a photo to photo stream

you can't delete photos that were synced to an IOS devic- apple imposed limitation, you can not delete photos from photostream - thanks again apple, maybe by IOS 6 we will be able to manage our own photos & videos!
the work around i found if you want to transfer a photo or two at a time (emailing to yourself) is to batch upload photos using an app called "droptoroll" works great and is free, but no video support. puts the photos into the camera roll folder so you may delete them as you want! sorry no help for photostream management - hear in the future apple will allow deletion of individual photos from the stream. Again another oversite by apple photostream does not support videos, mobile me did though

When I try to delete an app that has not downloaded correctly, I do everything I'm suppose to do...hold down icon then it will shake and an x will appear to delete app but that does'nt even happen..how come I can't delete?

Help! I can't seem to delete an apps that I got at the apps store. 4 games that said I do not have enough juice for it to download and says waiting.....ugh so ffrustrated

There is a 20 MB limit on downloads with 3G and you have exceeded that limit.Download the apps in iTunes.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to the iTunes menu at the top of screen and from Store drop down to Check for available downloads. Click download (or whatever it says) in the main iTunes window on the right and let all four games download.
Then connect your iPad to to your computer and sync the apps to your iPad. Don't forget to select them in the list under Sync Apps. After the sync completes - without disconnecting your iPad - uncheck the apps in iTunes to remove them and sync again.
When you eject your iPad the apps should be gone with no more "waiting" icons on the screen

How come I can't download certain apps on my IPad Air?

I want to download Youtube, but the download button isn't there in the App Store. I have seen other apps that have the same problem. Can you please help?

If you turned it off, the passcode goes away until you enable it again then it asks you to create a new one.
Even if your iPad is not compatible, it will give you the Free (or price button) or a cloud button, then when you try to download the app it will tell you about compatibility. The only thing that can make that free or cloud button disappear completely is restrictions.
If you still have a code in restrictions, see if you can guess it and then go to that setting like I said before and make sure it shows Allow All Apps.

How come i can edit in google sites on my iphone but not my mac?

I was given access to update a specific page on our local high school google site, but the page is only open to "edit" when I access it from my Iphone. If I go to the same site on my IMAC it does not open the "edit" feature of the page. Anybody??

Two different operating systems. iPhone runs on the iOS, your iMac the OS X.
Features used on your iPhone may not be available on your iMac and vice versa.

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

Hello everyone,
How can I delete text messages from my iphone? I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.

How come I can't swipe some of the purchased songs I have to delete them? I could on some but others I can't. Help?

I used to just be able to swipe left on a song I have in my Music library and delete a song if I didn't want it straight from my iPhone. How come I can't do that to some of the purchased songs I have?

Hello there, dleaupepe28.
You are correct on the fact that you can delete a song directly from your iPhone by swiping from right to left over the song:
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
iPhone User Guide - Music
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
If the song was purchased from the iTunes Store and has a cloud icon to the right of it, it is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud and not actually on your device. You can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPhone after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
