  • How to reset the Messages app on my imac?

    Hello! 
    I've tried a lot of the solutions presented here and either I'm doing something wrong or I don't understand the instructions to reset the messages app.  All I need to do is delete an icloud account from it. 
    Please help!  Thank you!!

    Hi,
    As Eric says it is Launch the app and then go to Preferences > Accounts.
    However you cannot delete the iMessages account (you can Disable it or remove the Apple ID by Signing out) or the Bonjour account (which by default is not Enabled)
    You might be using an Apple ID issued by Apple (@mac.com @me.com if registered with iCloud or an @iCloud.com ID) as an Valid AIM Screen Name.
    These you can delete using the Minus  icon after highlighting the Account in the List.
    Signing out of the iMessages account tends to show the app with the Apple ID you did use waiting for your to re-activate it with the password but you can enter a new Apple ID and it's password instead.
    Other accounts can also be created in the System Preferences > Internet Accounts pane by enabling the Messages option.
    Removing the Account in Messages should turn the option off in Internet Accounts and vice versa.
    This of course is what we would do to "reset" the app and have it with no running accounts.
    Is this what you meant ?

  • HT201317 How to reset "new" message?

    When a new photo appears on a Photo Stream I'm subscribed to the 1 New, 2, New, etc. message remains even after I've viewed all the photos.
    How do I reset the "New" message once I've viewed all the current photos on a particular stream?

    Well...nobody replied and while waiting I kept playing with Photo Stream and I think I found the answer to my own question.  In case it may help someone else....
    After viewing a new photo that's been posted I found that if I back out to the Photo Stream home page (where it shows streams you're subscribed to and has a + sign to add your own) that cleared the new photo(s) number.
    I don't understand the logic behind that process but whatever...it works.

  • How to reset composite statitics from Enterprise Manager

    Hi,
    Someone knows how to reset statitics from a composite with their components, services and references from EM 11g without redeploy the composite?
    Thank You in advance.
    JP

    John,
    Yes your assumption is correct. Also, I have uninstalled (and removed user data) and re-installed DM. Also rebooted PC but still no luck. Eveytime I connect my new device to DM it pops up a msg: "Your messaging account is currently configured to use <old device>. Would you like to switch to <new device> instead?". I then proceed to click on "Yes", it still shows Active Device as the old one and Device Connected as new one.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode
    http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How to reset my mac?

    I want to reset my mac air. There's 70G of files in my computer, and I have no idea where they came from. What's worse is that I don't know where to look for them. Do any one know how to reset mac/ look for these files?

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
