How to get Mac Messages to NOT save chats?

How to get Mac Messages to NOT save chats?
I went through the Preferences but I do not see where I can check/uncheck save chats.  Will someone help direct me?

Hello mayonnaise18,
Thank you for the question.  You can disable the option to save chats in the Messages tab in Messages>Preferences:
Automatically save conversations when you close them
Choose Messages > Preferences, and then click Messages.
Select “Save history when conversations are closed.”
These steps are to enable the option to save messages, but you would want to uncheck the option to "Save history when conversations are closed."  You can find the full article here:
Messages (Mountain Lion): Save conversations

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.

    It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
    Do you have administrator rights?

  • HELP! trying to save a photoshop file, getting the message, 'could not save...'

    HELP! trying to save a photoshop file -working with CS5 - getting the message, 'could not save xxx because of a programme error' I have tried changing the file name, no difference. Help. A lot of work I don't want to flush away. Thanks Kevin

    You may be running on borrowed time.  It sounds like something in your OS file system interface has become corrupted.
    But some things to try:
    1.  Save to another local drive/volume, ESPECIALLY if you're trying to save on a network.
    2.  Choose Image - Duplicate, then try to save on a local drive/volume as a PSD.

  • In Elements 13, when trying to save, I get this message:Could not save a copy as "agb3_2014:09_054.tif" because the file name was not valid.

    Hi:
    I use Nikon NX2 then save as a TIFF file then do final editing in Elements.  With Elements 8, I could then save as a JPEG file and upload to Flickr.  With Elements 13, I get this message and cannot save:
    Could not save a copy as “agb3_2014:09_054.tif” because the file name was not valid.
    I note the colon (:) in the file name.  I did not place it there.  It is some automatic save.  Typically I save as 2014/09
    It is probably some setting I need to adjust but I am stumped.  All help is welcome.
    Thanks

    Don't use the slash, either. Stick to no punctuation except dashes and underscores for safety's sake. Other punctuation usually has another meaning in code.

  • When I try to save a photo, I get error message Could not complete your request because of a program error.  What's wrong?

    I edit a photo and when I click Save As, I get error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error."    I exit Elements, try again, same error. 
    In past I had this problem but it resolved when rebooted PC.  This time, PC reboot does not help.
    I cannot save anything i do in elements!!
    What's wrong?  Any suggestions how to fix this?   Anyone know what the program error is

    Please mention your PSE version and underlying OS.
    Also, it would be of great help in resolving the issue if you can upload a snapshot of error message.

    On a Mac, in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, when adding audio to an edit, i get the message "Could not complete your request, because Dynamiclink is not available".
    When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
    Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
    Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
    I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
    If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
    #Restart the computer and try the installation again.
    #If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

    Launch Windows Registry Editor.
    (Windows XP) Choose Start > Run, type regedit in the Open text box and click OK.
    (Windows Vista/ Windows 7) Choose Start, type regedit in the Search box, and press Enter.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager.
    Delete the InProgress key.
    I was not able to find the "InProgress" key.

  • When trying to update, I get the message: Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store.  How do I do that?

    When trying to update apps, I get the message:  "Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store before purchasing"  How to I switch, and how did it even get changed to US store?  I don't remember changing anything, and I used to be able to update, no problem..  I have synced with my computer for music - could it have happened then?  I changed on the computer to Cdn site, but will it not go to the iPhone automatically?

    On you iPhone go to settings-iTunes & AppStore.
    Tap user name, sign out.
    Log back in with your apple ID and password.
    That should fix the problem

  • When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

    When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
    Any help would be welcome

    This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which  gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

    Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
