How do I clear a chat window?

How do I clear a chat window without closing the window and reopening?
I don't want my chat contents available for people to look over my shoulder... but it is a pain to keep closing / reopening the window.
thanks!

That (Apple Key + h) will Hide iChat and any chat window it has open.
Clicking on the iChat icon in the DOCK brings it Back
Apple + Shift + w will close the front window which will also close the chat
Apple + w will end the chat
I don't think the last two are what you want.

Follow method for clearing chat (Windows-C, Settings, Options, Clear History) Go back into Skype chat of same person as before Entire history is still there. Shut down PC and restart. Go into Skype. Open chat window for same user. Entire history is still there.

  • How do I clear windows in quicktime?

    When you right click the QT icon, a list of the last movies watched shows up. How do I clear this list of windows? "Open Recent- clear menu" doesn't do it. Clearing recent items in the system menu doesn't do it either. I seem to recall a way to push something and right click on the QT icon that then gives you a choice to clear windows in the popup menu, but I can't remember what it is.

    don't do it.  It will make your mac slower.  If you insist:
    Clear cache in Lion
    Open a finder window and select “Go to Folder” in the Go menu
    Type in ~/Library/Caches
    This is optional, but you can highlight & copy everything to a different folder in case anything goes wrong.
    Highlight everything and press CMD and Backspace
    Restart your machine

    Hi Patricia, the theory behind clearing cookies is that they may include obsolete or corrupted information. There's no way to know which one poses the problem, so it's usually best to clear them all. Facebook will set new cookies when you log back into the site.
    Regarding the chat windows, I don't why the two accounts would work differently. Perhaps it is a setting within Facebook?

  • When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    # Question
    When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    Hello.
    I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

  • How to keep live chat window from minimizing and stay open while browsing on tab

    while using a live chat window and trying to also access information on the same tab I have it open in or any other tab, the chat window minimizes to the tray and does not reopen automatically. To open you must re access it from the tray and as soon as you search elsewhere for info, it minimizes again! Very annoying when trying to troubleshoot and get help through a chat window. I want the window to stay open so I can access the information I need and chat at the same time.

    When you say chat minimizes to the tray, do you mean the Windows "notification area" or "system tray" down on the Taskbar, or a tray within Firefox itself, for example, created by an add-on and positioned on the Add-on bar (which is a feature which can be added by an add-on)?

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • How do I clear the downloads folder?

    How do I clear the downloads folder?  I swear there used to be an option for this when I right clicked on the downloads folder that is on my bottom bar but I don't see one now.  This is making me crazy.
    Also, when I click on the bottom bar Downloads folder to display the items in the Downloads folder, I've selected it to be arranged as a fan and by the date added.  I've downloaded two copies of the same item and did this back to back because I didn't see the first download in the folder once I'd downloaded it.  I don't see the first of the two downloads unless I open the whole folder in its own window.  Shouldn't I see them both at the bottom of the list since they are the two most recent downloads?  I'd accidentally downloaded duplicate copies previously and it had displayed them in this manner.
    Please help!

    The best way to delete is just open them in finder.  Mark them all and delete.
    In the fan, you can select the sort order by right click (cntl click) the download folder and choosing "sort by" date added.
