How to delete iMessage on mac

I dont want imessage on my macbook but i dont know how to get it off

HI,
As CT says Messages can receive Messages (IMs and iMessages) from the accounts set up in it and those that are Enabled.
You can go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and untick all the boxes or each account that reads "enable" this Account.
You can go further and Sing Out on the iMessages account
All the other except the Bonjour one you can highlight then use the minus Button at the bottom of the List to delete.
Alternatively you can go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and deselect the Messages option against the IDs that are now listed in Messages.
NOTE
You cannot delete the Bonjour Option in Messages (everyone gets this one) It can only be turned Off

How to delete applications from mac pro?

I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
First , If you installed from apple app store it will be really easily just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No don't delete me I am helpful !) Ok yes that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case , you just skip first step come to here in order to save you some golden time .
You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash. do it again . take this one into the trash as well then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash After that all job done , it is been deleted ,
Well done !
Hope this could help all of your!
Thanks for reading !

I'm not sure how to delete apps on mac

someone help me plz
im not sure how to delete apps on my mac

Well normally all you have to do is delete (Move to Trash) the .App file but then some program place things in different Library folder around you hard drive. None of thos other files maen anythiing with out the app beinig run except for taking up disk space.
So apps come with uninstall programs but most don't. If you run the installer again you may find an uninstall app included.
Here is a web page that can give you more information.

How to delete iMessage archive

Hello,
I have used Messages on a work machine and it has synced all of my iMessage history from my iPhone (as it should have, and as I wanted). It's time for me to return this machine, and I'm trying to erase all of my chat history (the system user account either cannot or is not being deleted).
I have removed:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat
~/Library/Messages
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.*
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMessage.*
Yet when I open Messages, the chat histories all remain. The iMessages account has been removed, so it's not re-syncing. Where are these messages being stored?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
iMessages "History" - the bit that refills a chat with old info when you reconnect to someone - is held in chat.db items in ~/Library/Messages.
IF you also set it up to Save on Close it will also save all Chats from iMessages as well as other Accounts (AIM, Jabber, Bonjour, Yahoo) in the Archive folder.
This is in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages.
You seem to be saying you deleted the containing folders so the info should have gone.
The .plists for iChat that have extra bits in them refer to the Account types (AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and Subnet for Bonjour) the Recent List (LSShared) and the Status Messages for the Buddy Lists (*er StatusMessages)
You will also need the com.apple.imagent.plist (this holds all the account info for accounts that Login.
The iMessages account details are held in com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
I would also delete anything that listed IDS as they also show the Apple ID and any iPhone Number
There are now many of them if you set up Text Forwarding for SMS as well.
I would also delete all the IDS items listed in the KeychainAccess App.
Also in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences delete the Contents.
This holds mainly Alias items to the .plists in ~/Library/Preferences but some are actual .plists and relate to Messages.
I would tend to clear all conversations of the individual iMessages (or other messages) then delete the conversations before removing the Apple ID from the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Sign Out button and remove the madrid item once the app has been closed.
I have seen one other post where someone said the Messages main window continued to show Chats after the Archive and Chat.db items had been removed.
I wasn't sure they had removed chats from the main window at any stage. If they are not removed and seem to persist there must be a different mechanism to re-populate the window which I am not sure where it would be.

How to delete mail from mac but NOT from gmail server?

Hi I have around 6GB of space used up by the mail app. I never really use it anymore though, favouring the gmail website. I can't work out how to clear out the mail app and free up that space, without also deleting the emails from the gmail server. Can anybody help?
Thanks
Jonathan

Hello Jhughes1986,
If you are not using the mail account in the Mail app, then remove it from Mail. When in Mail, go to the drop down menu Mail > Preferences, select the Account tab, select your Gmail account and then hit the Minus ( - ) button towards the bottom to remove the account.

How to use iMessage on Mac with continuity?

Hi,
Recently started using continuity on my iPhone 6 and iMac (Late 2013 running Yosemite).
When I use iMessage on my mac i can easily send texts to new numbers that are not similar to my contacts, but in fact, if a new number i enter is similar to anything in my contacts it will auto suggest it and correct it to one of the contact suggestion whether i like it or not!
According to the picture, i can never send a message to 204 as iMessage will auto correct it to the first suggestion or the second.
Is this just another glitch like the 1000 other ones that apple has? Or am i just doing something stupid?
I can send a text to 205 as i do not have any similar contacts associated with those digits.
Thanks

Hi,
It will suggest and look like it will auto-complete until you type further.
As 204 is unlikely to be the full number the issue does not arise.
For instance if I start typing my name every option that I have listed with my name over three Contacts card (for my three computers) and some Accounts not linked to Address Cards are listed
Of course this lists also shows cross connections between the accounts making the list longer.

How to troubleshoot iMessage on Mac mixing up arrangement of messages?

I am currently having a problem where iMessage on my mac will track my incoming and outgoing messages in order that they are sent and recieved, only if I am sending them from my Mac. But if I open iMessage to look at past conversations, my messages are all out of order. Replies to messages I have sent first appear after the original message, my messages are all grouped and all replies from reciepients are grouped and don't give any flow of conversation, etc. If anyone else has had this problem and found a fix to sync all of my conversations onto my Mac from conversations had on my iPhone in order this would be great. Quitting iMessage and reopening did not fix the issue.

Issue for everyone, and it couldn't be more annoying. I can't figure out what is going on in my conversations.

How to find iMessages on mac pro when iMessage was already disabled on pro

I turned off imessages on my macbook pro, but somehow someone on my computer saw random imessages somehow. I dont know where they saw them and I am trying to figure out where. Its hard to explain but can anybody help me out with this? It was a folder somewhere, he came upon it as he was trying to find an email message he thought he deleted.

Perhaps you have disabled the notifications for the Messages application. Click the Apple button on the top left of your screen > System Preferences > Notifications. Here you will find various notifications for different applications, including Messages. Ensure everything is enabled to default.
It should look like this:
After you have everything enabled correctly, go back to System Preferences > Trackpad
You should be able to find the gesture to open the notification center here.
Once viewing Notification Center, you should be able to see all of the alerts from the Messages application.
