How to delete SMS text from the hard drive of a IPhone 3gs

How do I delete SMS text from the hard drive of a iPhone 3GS

If you want to delete the messages from within the text app, swipe over the name or number of the sender and hit delete.
If you are afraid that someone will be able to restore them by ckecking your HD, you will have to set up the phone "as new device" or choose "erase all content and Settings" in Settings/General/Reset. But this willerase the whole phone, not only your text messages.

A waste of CD-ROM...........,in china, many people install linux just by iso,don't burn the iso,
could you give me the two files (the "vmlinz "and the "initrd.img") in archlinux2008.03.iso, those can't find in archlinux2008.06.iso

Do you have a USB stick you could copy the image to? Where I live, a CD costs $0.50 at most. To put that into perspective. A coffee costs a $1.00. Either a CD costs a lot more than a coffee where you live or are you telling me you'd rather get a lot of grey hair than buy half a coffee?
Sorry I can't be of much help. I don't know how to do this method of installation. If you're desperate, you could try making an extra partition, and trying something with that. Take a look at these:

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection?

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection? Do I have to make a playlist for each cd and then transfer it to my iPhone?

When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
    With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
    Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

How do I remove programmes from the hard drive

Hi This may seem stupid but as a new Mac user I can find no way of deleting an installed photoshop and skype from the hard drive. Can anyone help please?

I do not recommend the "drag and drop" method since there may be artifacts left behind that have been installed into other folders.
Suggest you go to Photoshop and Skype support web site. Carolyn's advice is also good too.
For Adobe Photoshop:
Use the Uninstaller in Utilities/Adobe Installers.
If that doesn't work, download this, read the instructions very carefully and follow them.

How to delete a file from my hard drive through iTunes?

I want to delete a file through my iTunes. Whenever I do, it just gives me a dialog window telling me that it will delete the file from the library and my iPod. It does NOT delete it from my hard drive. I do NOT want to let iTunes manage my music.
How can I delete files? It seems crazy that I wouldn't be able to.

hmm. for some strange reason after doing that it just simply warns me that in deleting the song(s) it will ruin my playlists/mess up songs currently on my ipod.
im just trying to delete all the songs that are under a minute from various albums because they take a lot of room, yet are pretty useless. but they are strung out over multiple files and i simply would love to be able to delete them all from the library where they are arranged. do you know of any other techniques to fix it?

How do I transfer pictures from a hard drive back to iphone 4s or ipod touch 5?

hello, I am trying to get pics i have taken off my phone and ipod and put them back on after tranferring them to a hard drive. any help would be appreciated. oh and windows xp

Happy new year! Now that I've told you the official answer, there are other options. If you use Google's free Picasa web albums, for example, the app "MyPics" will sync your Picasa albums to your phone, and it does a better job than the built in Photo app because it syncs over the air and preserves photo titles and comments. Dropbox also has a photo syncing option, and there are several others in the app store.

How do I delete old mail with photoattchements
before a certain date from my mail?

Do they appear in Mail? That is are they listed in a Mail window? If so then scroll down to the target date, select the first email for that date. Hold down the SHIFT key and scroll to the last mesage you wish to delete and click on it. This should select all the messages between your start and end date. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your selection and click on Delete in the context menu.
Oh, be sure you have your messages sorted by Date Received.

How to delete emails permanently (from your hard drive)

Hi there,
I've been reading up a lot, but I did not find anything convincing, hence my post. I hope I can find some help here.
I've been using mail with gmail (IMAP) for a couple of months, before switching to TBird. I've deleted my account in Mail, but for some reason, my emails remain accessible, for instance when I use spotlight. there is a folder mail in users/library/mail that seems to have all my emails (2.3gb which is also pretty much the size of my gmail account).
can I safely delete the contents of this folder? Will it impair my ability to re-create a gmail account in mail, if needed?
Best,
Seb

that folder should have been deleted when you deleted the gmail account. you can trash it by hand. it's safe to do so.

How to delete SMS attachments from IOS 6.0

Does anyone know how to delete SMS attachments from the iPhone - They are still located on the phone after the messages associated with them have been deleted. I am sure that previous versions of IOS deleted the attachment when the message was deleted.
The issue being for me is that the phone is now getting cluttered with unwanted phot

You need to "void the warranty" and then buy iExplorer or a similar program, and THEN you can access the SMS library to delete them. Apple admits this problem yet hasn't bothered to fix it. Those SMS attachments should have been deleted all along, but they were being stored in an inaccessible location. Thus, Apple's customers are unable to fix Apple's mistake; meanwhile, our iphones' space is being minimized because of Apple's bug.

i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive? Will my machine run faster?

If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

How to recover data from the hard drive?

I've always heard that data is never really gone from the hard drive even after you delete it. How do I recover that data? My problem is some photos (my honeymoon photos) have been deleted from my computer and they have also been deleted from the recycle bin. I sure would like to recover them.

First stop using your system, then get a copy of a program that will recover files like Data Rescue 3. If you have a time machine backup you may be able to restore them.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.
