How to edit a post in Apple Support Comunities?

If I just posted something and saw it had typos. Is there any way to edit the post or remove it? I have searched all over for an option to edit my post and see none. I saw someone say that it was possible to edit within 15 minutes of making the post, but no mention of how to do that.

Not sure how fair it would be to leave the initial authorship content
open for editing too long after the thread was up, since that could
make replies to original content irrelevant, or discordant over time.
And people would be more reluctant to offer advice if the first topic
were to change; since nobody else can go back very far to change
the replies. Also, we'd not want to subscribe to a thread if the name
of it changed several times a week.

Rules are there, too, in a helpful way so as to keep order and a civil
concept for those who appear on the scene later to see a pattern in
how things are done, usually a workable path...

Yet rules can be cumbersome for certain individuals with independent
idealism and exuberant vitality. Even so, society and these ASC
discussions need continuity.
Can we be fashionable, even if seen as part of a cult by some?

Older post from apple support community delivered on gmail show in Mail App when new notification received

Hi all,
I am using Mail as a client to my Gmail account.
I am registered with such account to receive notification about new posts from Apple Support Communities on which I took part.
However when I receive a new mail notifications, I get a huge list of post, it basically seems the whole conversation.
Even if the grouping done by Mail App shows 1 message only, I can see lot of posts attached to the mail.
Apparently by deleting the group or the very latest mail, it deletes the whole conversation, but everytime a new mail arrives, the conversation shows again.
By doing a search for sender and subject on notification arrival, only one mail shows from the results.
When deleting the mail, the whole conversation gone from Mail App, did the search again with same criteria, and got 0 result.
Why this behavior ? Am I missing something ?

*I figured it out!*
Simple fix, here is what you do - open Mail v4.2 > Preferences
Select your Gmail account with this weird problem (I say select, cause in my situation I have multiple Gmail account setup but was having trouble with 1).
Then goto > Advanced tab
and then just type "/" (forward slash) - and then wait for a minute, it should fix it and allow to receive all the ghosts messages again - which apparently were visible under my online (web based) gmail.com's account also on my iPhone. You might see double messages, don't freak out like I did - Quit Mail v4.2 and restart that should go away as well, like in my case. Strange? Definitely
Anyways, hope this helps!

There are instructions on this page on how to stop them from individual threads :

If you are getting them from a forum as a whole (as opposed to just individual threads), then towards the top right of that forum page make sure that it says 'receive email notifications' in the Actions box :
If it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it so as to stop them

You cannot remove any records, comment etc that already exist. As Neil says, stop using your account. Pretty soon you will fade into obscurity.

Cannot post on Apple Support Communities

I have been denied posting on ASC many times. After going to the trouble of writing a post explaining a problem, I hit the POST btton and get the message
[ You are not allowed to create of update this content]
There is not cause specified or any remedy. Every time I have had to call Apple Support directly. That is frequently a waste of time, since the probem could be handled here.
Let’s see if this one gets through.

Did you take more than 30 minutes to craft your reply? No, no that's not allowed and the word is mum.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Start an auto reloader.
Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) .
I use Firefox and ReloadEvery.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reloadevery/
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

How to edit a post?

Well just from the topic, can some one tell me how i can edit a post that i posted B4 at any forum? Thanks in advance.

Posts can only be edited within 15 minutes of when you made the post. After that you cannot edit it.
You'll notice new green icon to the left of the Reply button about the post. Click on it to edit the post. When that icon disappears you no longer can edit it.

How do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

qHow do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
For example:
At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

How to edit my post?

Try creating a new thread in the Test and Playground forum. If you are able to then go back in and edit the thread after you create it, then chances are your post that is giving you problems is a glitch that was just an unlucky coincidence with a server reset or something similar.

How do I stop emails from apple support communities

almost a year ago I turned to apple support communities for a Q. Now a year later long after the problem has since been resolved, I am still getting very annoying updates. I have tried logging in and changing my preferences, but that did not stop the emails. I tried bouncing them back...didn't work. I tried turning to apple "contact us" but that is not easy without coming here first...Now I fear I may be just starting a new list of emails, but here we go...STOP EMAILING ME!

The Email preferences are not the problem, they only control what will happen they have no affect on what is happening now.
You can identify the source of the email, the community or thread, in the email. Go to that thread or community and turn off the email notification from there.
If you can'tt identify the particular thread or community from the email follow the instructions in the link King_Penguin posted.

How do I unsubscribe from the Apple Support Communities?

ITunes recently decided my debit card's security code in invalid. But nothing is wrong with the code or my card. how do I fix this? Apple support doesn't have a clue what they are doing and will not call me to fix this.

My bank sent me a new Debit card because of some security issue. It has the same number as my previous card but new experation and new security code. It worked fine for months then all of a sudden Itunes decided the security code is invalid. Now I can't even update my phone.
For the last week I have been going back and forth over email with apple support to fix it, but they keep telling me the same fix that doesn't work and frankly they are the worst support group I have ever worked with. I can't even get anyone to answer a phone, its just back and forth by email everyday.

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

How do I get hold of apple support if deaf?

Hi, I have an old Apple ID I have forgotten both password and security answers. I have tried to get through to apple support but as I use a textphone, I want to either call them myself or for apple to at least let me put in the telephone number with a pre-fix number so they call me back using the UK text relay. The system won't let me put in an unconventional telephone number!

How to send a video to apple support

Before I contact apple support or while I am communicating with apple support, I would like to send a video of my (problem) screen because it is easier to see what is going on than it is to explain.

Unfortunately, they do not have an e-mail address except for specific online services. What you may want to do is find an authorized service center nearby and bring the computer to them. Apple's website http://www.apple.com/contact/ lists which services have online e-mail forms, and here are their support phone numbers. Depending on your country, http://www.apple.com/xx/buy will be the link to your country's search engine to find an authorized service center. xx is the two letter code for all non-USA countries used when you switch to your country's website for Apple using the country link on the bottom of http://www.apple.com/
So http://www.apple.com/ca/buy would be Canada's link.
