How to clear iMessages from Mavericks?

I've seen a few threads on here pertaining to this, but none of them has helped me. Every time I go to the Spotlight, I see a ton of old messages that shows up by "<number> on <date>". However, when I open up iMessages, there's nothing in here.
Can someone please show me how to clear off these messages? Didn't even know they were being stored on here.

This article solved it for me: http://dannystewart.com/2012/07/14/chat-mountain-lion
Towards the bottom of the article, they specifically address this in Mavericks.

  • I have cleared all my music from my iPhone. I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes, but some songs are still on "on this phone" in itunes, how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

    I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes and I have cleared all my music from my iPhone.

    how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

    And if you don't use that computer often be prepared for the mountains of new notifications the next time you run it.  Especially if your like me and use your iPhone and iPad a lot for texting people.  Wish iMessage in ML would know what you read somewhere else like iPad and iPhone does
    I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.

    Thank you for pointing this out. Might I rephrase that to, go to updates. press and hold on a update. Tap on "hide all updates" and this would clear the existing updates of that person, and blocks all further updates from that user.
    Shoutout and credit to hranawat9 for this.

  • How to clear cache in mavericks

    how to clear cache in mavericks ?

    You can use one of several good utilities:
    Mavericks Cache Cleaner
    Onyx
    Cocktail
    You will find them at www.macupdate.com.
    Also, you should startup in Safe Mode, then restart normally. This is a slow startup, but part of the process cleans out some system caches.
    I don't know what browser you use, but there should be some cache clearing options available.

  • How do I revert from Mavericks to Mt. Lion?

    I have tried the suggestions contained in similar threads without success.  My configuration may be causing problems.  Here is my configuration and the pathway I would like to use:
    As shown below, I have a MacPro early 2008 running OSX 10.9.  I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3.  I back up Time Machine to an external hard drive and also to a separate internal hard drive that occupies one of the bays on my Mac Pro, but it is NOT the same hard drive on which Mavericks resides.
    Before migrating from Mountain Lion 10.8.5 to Mavericks, I did a final backup of Time Machine to each of the two drives mentioned above.  I then proceeded to install Mavericks 10.9.  For me, this was a mistake.  I normally wait until at least three updates have occurred before moving up to the next OS X offering.  The many flaws I have encountered in the way Mavericks currently operates have funally exhausted my patience and I must revert to 10.8.5.
    I would like to make the change using Time Machine for both the Mountain Lion operating system and all of the applications and documents.  If I were going to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.8, I would start by reinstalling the OS using the DVD which I have and then I would restore the apps and documents from Time Machine.  However, neither Mavericks nor Mountain Lion have DVDs.  I believe that they both can be installed by Time Machine, but this is where I run aground. I don't know how to make it happen.  I have tried and have been hindered by popup windows telling me I can't change the Applications.  I can't go on from there. I would prefer to dowload from the hard drive version of Time Machine rather than the external drive for the simple reason that the internal hard drive is faster.  If that is not advisable, I am certainly willing to go with the external drive.  It is my understanding that I can restore Mountain Lion directly from Time Machine along with all of the documents and other stored items such as Applications, Library, etc.
    I have tried to do this, but can't seem to get the hang of it.  I need a tutor who knows how to do the job using this path.  Assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    A SIMPLE METHOD FOR REVERTING FROM MAVERICKS BACK TO AN EARLIER OS X VERSION
    There were so many caveats and side issues included on various instructions that didn't apply to me that I thought it was a bit confusing. However, I got the idea that restarting while pressing down the option key would give me access to the Recovery drive. I tried it and it gave me several choices. The top one was irresistible. It says "Restore From Time Machine Backup." I had done full backups using Time Machine to both an internal hard drive on my MacPro and an external hard drive just before installing Mavericks. I clicked on "Restore From Time Machine Backup" and selected the external drive since I wasn't sure that the internal drive would work. The internal backup drive is faster, but I felt the external drive was a safer bet. A window came up asking me to choose which backup I wanted to use. I picked the one I made just before installing Mavericks and it went to work. It took a couple of hours to finish, but as it restarted and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 appeared on the screen, I was totally relieved. I feel liberated. Everything works. No wacky glitches to say "gotcha!"
    When you consider all of the written instructions, many of which are very difficult to follow, this very simple method of restoration is amazingly easy. I hope it helps others who are considering moving to OS X 10.9. Just get a good external Time Machine backup of your present system before you venture.

  • How do I iMessage from my iPhone to an iPad user?

    I can iMessage from an ios5 iPhone to another iPhone and from an iPad to another iDevice all OK
    but how do you enter an email address into iMessage on an iPhone so I can iMessage an iPad user? The problem is that iMessage on the iPhone only allows you to enter phone numbers or contacts (which are then restricted to phone numbers even though they may have email addresses associated with them) ?
    Regards
    Gary

    I noticed that the emails show without @ and .
    Tried to imitate it, I even noticed that some letters are capitalized tried doing so too...
    But no it doesn't work...
    You either have to access it from contacts, or type the email in the message box then copy and paste in the recipient's box, or simply wait till thy person contacts you to reply...
    Which for me is a real bothering issue...
    This needs to be fixed ASAP to allow us to write an email in the recipient box in iMessage, and it needs to allow us to choose an email and not just a phone number once a contact is chosen from within the message.app...
    It's definitely a bug, or let's say a slip... I can't see how all those developers who beta tested didn't notice it!!!
    And it needs fixing ASAP...

  • AP- How to clear receipt from the GR/IR when an invoice is not received

    Good Afternoon-
    What is the best procedure or transaction code to use when a user needs to clear receipt from the GR/IR when an invoice is not received. 
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    As you know GR/IR clearing account is a provision account and it is posted to whenever you receive goods that have not been invoiced or receive invoice that have not been delivered. On the balance sheet date during the period end we have to make transfer postings to reflect the goods invoiced but not delivered and the goods delivered but not invoiced accounts.
    You need to create one adjustment (Correction) account and two target accounts Goods deliverd but not invoiced, Goods invoiced but not delivered. In t-code OBYP you need to assign these accounts for each of your reconciliation account.
    This t-code F.19 analyses the GR/IR claring account and posts outstanding amount to adjustment account. It creates the offsetting entry to the Goods deliverd but not invoiced if the account has a credit balance and Goods invoiced but not delivered if the account has a debit balance. These 2 accounts are target accounts. These postings are made separately per company code, GR/IR clearing account and reconciliation account. They are then reversed on the day you specify in the (F.19)program run.
    Regards,
    Krishna Kishore
