How do I delete text from a textArea?

How do I delete text from a textArea? I basically want the opposite of append(String)... I want something that removes a line from my TextArea. Anyone know?>

If you want to remove only a specific part of the text, you have to get the String, take the parts before and after the removed part, append them back together and use setText to replace it in the textArea.

How do i delete text from a table cell

I want to delete text from a cell or table but not the cell or table themselves. How do I do this? The 'delete' function does not work.

Mac Word 2011. i found the answer: 'fn' (function') key + 'Delete' key. if i had a full desktop keyboard it would be the 'Del' key, NOT the 'Delete' key.

How to recover deleted texts from iPhone 5s

Does anyone know how to recover old deleted text messages that may not have been synched on itunes

Yes, if they were synced to iTunes (or iCloud). When you set up your iPhone, you can use one of those backups to restore your texts.

How do I delete text from a movie I did in final cut

hey guys i made a movie in final cut a while back and I want to delete some text I added to a clip but I can't seam to figuer out how to do it anyone have any ideas?
Message was edited by: the mac guy

As Jim is pointing out, the best way to deal with editing the text out of an existing movie is to go back to the project and deal with the clips BEFORE the text was added.
Either that or bring the movie into AfterEffects or Shake and paint out the text on a frame by frame basis. (LOADS of fun!)

How can I delete texts from a conversation in iOS8 without deleting the entire conversation?

If I tap and hold an indivivual text msg, I get the pop-up with "Copy | More" and I select "More". The only choice then is to "Delete All" or "Cancel". There is no trashcan visible to just delete the selected message. I have an iPhone 5 and and an iPhone 6. Both are at iOS 8.1.3 and perform the same way. Am I missing something? One or two iOS versions ago, I was able to select individual msgs and "Delete Selected" (or something like that)

sberman (& Emilyy1234), thanks for making me look more. The Trash Can icon and the Forward (arrow) icon were not visible at the bottom of the screen. What was there was the text message input window with the camera icon in the lower left and the Send button in the lower right. That screen bottom line was covering the Trash Can icon and the Forward icon.
The only way I can make it disappear is to select the input area and then when the keyboard slides up and I drag it dow out of the way, the Trash Can is right where it should be.
It seems like the action of 'tap and hold' an individual message and then selecting 'More' is failing to replace the bottom screen line (msg input line) with the Trash Can and Forward icon on the bottom screen line. It works that way on the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 6 (both at iOS 8.1.3). Is that the way it works for everyone or is it something about my phones?
Thanks again folks. Glad to be able to use the function again.

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).

How do I permanently delete texts from my 4S?

Open the Messages App to teh messages list. Tap Edit. Tap the minus icon for each mesage thread, then tap Delete. Individual messages can be deleted from teh thread view by tapping Edit, selecting the message , then tapping Delete (lower left).
Caveat - this will delete SMS messages from the Phone. How long they aactually remain on the server depends on your carrier's policies.

How to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

how to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

Hi,
Did you or can you set up the new iPhone from a Backup of the Old one ?
They would have to be at the same Level of OS
iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.

What is the "Other" category under storage and how can i delete items from this?

My disc is almost full. "About this Mac" says that I have 47 GB of "Other." What is this Other and how can I delete items from this?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Please can someone explain how to retrieve deleted text, I was clearing old text when one came through at the same time so was also deleted.

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also. My last update was iOS 8.1.2

You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable. Have the other person resend the text.
