How do I delete multiple conversations at once in messages?

Hello All:
I opened my messages app and was wanting to clean it up a bit. How do I delete multiple conversations at one time in messages on my mac?
I can delete them one at a time but that is super annoying.. is this possible?
thanks,
paul

Hi,
There is no Modifier key in this instance to be able to select multiple chats/Conversations in the list.

  • How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time?

    How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time? I have several duplicate items in my library and would like to delete the duplicates. Thanks!

    You can select multiple items using shift to select a range and control to add or remove items from it.
    Regarding duplciates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • How can I delete multiple photos at once from the official Photos app?

    Dear fellow Apple users,
    I have many pictures on my Camera Roll in Apple's Photos app. What's the quickest way to delete multiple photos at once?
    Thus far, I know how to delete photos one by one, but that's time-consuming.
    Thank you.

    No not box with arrow, that is share button.  Edit is where it shows in the pic I posted

  • Why Cant I delete multiple conversations at once using IOS 7?

    When trying to delete multiple conversations (text conversations) I can only do one at a time.
    I click edit in upper left hand corner (From messages home screen) and when I click the red circle on each conversation, I have to delete each convo one by one. It is painful.
    before my update I could select as many conversations as I wanted to be deleted, and then just press one button to delete them all.
    Am I missing something?

    I have not the slightest idea what you are talking about!
    EDIT - Oh! I think I see what you have done, I was asking for help about the 10.8.2 supplemental update and for some reason you are actually asking me what version of OS I am running!!
    LOL! The way your post reads I thought you were telling me to somehow copy the downloaded update into somewhere on the "About this Mac" window!
    Not that its relevant, but obviously I am running 10.8.2 or I would not be trying to install the supplementary update!

  • How can you delete multiple emails at once I have 3000 on my brand new iPhone that got transfer from my I pad and they keep popping up in 50 every time I check my email from my yahoo account

    Delete multiple emails at once like 3000 that were transfer from my iPad to my iPhone and keep coming up in groups of 50 at a time?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • How do I delete multiple pictures at once from the cloud.

    I have over a thousand pictures to delete. Doing them one at a time. Is very time consuming.

    You can use the control key to highlight multiple pictures or videos. Then under Manage at the top you can delete them all at once.  There is a problem because the pictures are small and it's hard to tell which is the best picture out of the five someone took but you can look at them by double clicking before you select the ones to delete.

  • How can I delete multiple emails at once?

    I want to delete mulitple emails at once like I can on my iPad1.  Is there a way to do this in mail?

    ... in addition:
    Click on a message. Hold command down and click on another, etc. Then hit delete. This way you can select and delete non-contiguous messages in your list.
    Similarly, you can unselect messages in a group of selected messages by command-clicking on them. 
    This behavior is more or less universal across all applications for all kinds of selections.

  • How do i delete multiple emails at once

    i cant find a way to select multiple emails or all to delete without doing 1 at a time

    Then you would need to do a search function searching for the particular emails you now longer want such as year dated 2009. Then select all from that list and delete.
    You could also create a smart mailbox which you can add different criteria to find certain emails. It's a bit more customizable than using the regular search function.

  • How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

    How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

    When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it.  There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out.  So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful.  Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

  • How to delete multiple email at once?

    Hi,
    I'm on the move a lot and go between my PC and my iPhone but sometimes I get hundreds of emails on my iPhone that I have already viewed on my PC.
    Is there a way to do a "Select all" to delete multiple email at once instead of using the edit feature?

    Is there a way to do a "Select all" to delete multiple email at once instead of using the edit feature?
    No. You'll have to click edit then put a check next to each email you want to delete, then hit delete. Once in trash, you can delete all.

  • How can I delete multiple playlists at one time?

    For some reason I have hundreds of random playlists? How can I delete them all at once, is it possible?

    Here are two ways I would try:
    You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
    If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

  • How do I delete multiple emails on iPad 3rd generation

    How do I delete multiple emails on iPad 3rd generation with 7.0.6 os? There is not an option to delete more than one at a time. I would like to delete all at once.

    It's possible there's an easier way, but this worked for me:
    To “delete all”  emails on ipad
    From each Inbox...
    Tap “Edit”
    Tap “Mark All” then tap “Mark as Read”
    Again, tap "Edit"
    Select first email (adds dot and check mark)
    Put your finger on “Move” without releasing
    With other hand, put finger on first email and Slowly Drag down on email list then release
    (your other finger is still on “Move”)
    Deselect first email (it may take a couple of taps)
    Release “Move”
    Wait a while if you have a large number of emails
    Tap the Trash icon
    All your emails should be deleted
