HT1277 Why can I not delete an unwanted account on my mail? I tried right clicking and dragging it to the trash

Every time i try to delete my unwanted email account it gives me the option to delete it then whe i click it nothing happens. I made sure i updated to the latest software possible but still will not let me. I have restarted my computer a numerous amount of time but still the same thing happens.

Accounts cant be deleted dragging, use this way:
Mail > preferences > accounts tab; select the account then click the minus button

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,

    Why can I not delete any emails on my iphone5?

    Thx. That seems to have solved my problem. I don't know but just all of a sudden when I opened an emal there was no option at the bottom.  After doing as you suggested, now all the options are back. Quite confusing to me. I do appreciate your suggestion and fix.

    If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

  • I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?

    I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?  I don't want to create another one if I really don't need to
    Any ideas ?

    I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

  • Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

    Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
    It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
    But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

    If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Can't right click and drag clips anymore?

    I recently started using version 3 and I can't get the right click and drag to work in multitrack view. I can't remember if it ever worked in this version, but it seems like these two things coincided. Am I missing something? Or could this be a different problem? I've checked and double checked, none of the clips are locked in time. All I wanna do is move files around!

    Out of the four possible cursors in MV, you need to use the first one (the Hybrid tool) if you want to right-click and drag.

  • HT5312 Why can i not reset my security questions via e-mail?

    Why can't i reset my security questions via e-mail? There is a page on how to do it but you can't actually fill the form out.

    if you are referring to the HT5312 page that you posted from then that only contains instructions for what to do, it's not a form.
    To reset your questions yourself you need to already have a a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account - you can see if you do by following the steps on that HT5312 page i.e. go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side (if you have a rescue email address) you will see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you won't get the reset link on that page - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Gmail "All Mail" folder.  Why can I not delete messages?

    i am new to the Mac community.  When I open Mail, I have a Gmail folder labelled "All Mail".  This folder loaded over 10600 messages from my earlier email activity on a PC.  Every time I try to delete any of them, the messages just load back into the folder.  Is this normal?.  i can move messages to the "Bin" folder, but they still cannot be deleted.  Are these messages taking up hard disc space on my new iMac?  If so what can I do about it?

    I have a different but related question re Gmail's "All Mail" folder: will Gmail get confused if there are emails in folders (tags) that don't have a corresponding copy in the All Mail folder?
    CONTEXT:
    In my Mac's mail app, I have several accounts (a couple Gmail accts, my icloud acct, etc.).  Thus far I've been moving mail from my main Gmail acct into my folders (tags) in that Gmail acct, to store them after I've read / acted on them. E.g., I have a folder for 2013Q1, 2012Q4, 2012Q3, etc. -- these comprise basically a chron-based, self-managed set of archive folders. I even started moving mail from the Sent folder into these folders.
    However, I'd like to also start moving mail from my NON-Gmail accts to that main Gmail acct and store them in the same folders.  I see that when I move a mail from, say, my iCloud acct, it does show up in the target Gmail folder, but there is NO copy of that mail showing up in the Gmail "All Mail" folder. 
    Is that a problem?  It seems to me that Gmail's All Mail folder is there as a master-index to mail in various folders (tags) ... so is it a problem to have a mail is in a Gmail folder without being in All Mail?  (I think the same question would apply if someone wanted to delete mail from Gmail's All Mail folder -- can it be done without harming the copy in other folders?  (An example that's not directly on-point: I've considered deleting those myriad drafts that get uploaded to Gmail automatically when you are drafting a message -- but in that case, only the final draft is in another Gmail folder.)
    Thanks!

  • Why can I not delete old album artwork now?

    I was in the process of cleaning up my music library by adding and correcting all the album artwork, and now with this new update and changes to iTunes, I can no longer delete the old album artwork. Is there a reason for this that I am unaware of, or just something Apple missed?

    I don't what else you're experiencing with your Mac, but getting album artwork is neither difficult nor secretive. Yes, you need an iTunes account to use the feature, but you don't have to buy anything to use it.
    To get album artwork for your entire library, go to the Advanced menu and choose "Get Album Artwork". To get artwork for specific songs or albums, select them in your library, then right-click (with a 2button mouse) or CTRL+click (with a 1button mouse) to bring up the context menu, and choose "Get Album Artwork".
    You can also set your preference under the General Tab to "Automatically download missing artwork..." (iTunes>Preferences>General)
    BTW, this all works pretty much the same under Windows...
    Note that iTunes will not always find the artwork for an album or song, and will occasionally assign incorrect artwork to an album or song. In that case, you'll need to find the artwork and assign it yourself. There are several third party utilities available to help with this, just google "itunes artwork utility" or something...

  • Why can't I delete an iCloud account, I think we should have that option, this is ridiculous.

    I worry about my information floating around some server through Icloud when I don't want it there. Apple should provide a way to completely delete an icloud account from everywhere - devices, the web etc. If I had known that I wouldn't have this option, I would have never signed up for one considering all the trouble icloud has caused me. It keeps losing my contacts etc. Am I the only one that is annoyed and frustrated by this?
    I can delete an account from my iphone 5s but not from the internet. ***?

    You can't delete the actual account. In part this is probably to prevent the address from becoming available again and someone else grabbing it and pretending to be you. You can go to the website and delete all your data there so that it's empty, and then just ignore it.
