  • How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

    How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that.  It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
    Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
    Regards,

    I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
    That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been.  Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail.  The only true solution is to not let other people use your account.  Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person.  This will also solve the problem of remembering the password.  It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

  • I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

    I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone, first save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photo thumbnails, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.

  • My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    You can just tap Delete Back Up, you don't need to turn off iCloud.
    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything the the data currently on your phone.  You will want to create a new backup as soon as possible after doing this, however, as you won't have one until your do.  You can either intiate this manually to create one immediately by connecting your phone to your charger and to wifi, then going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom (this will take some time to complete the first time), or you can just connect it to your charger and wifi before you go to bed and it should back up automatically (and continue to do so once daily).
    You don't need to manually connect your phone to your computer to back up to wifi, but it's a good idea to create a second backup using iTunes occasionally in case your iCloud backup ever fails (I do this weekly).  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  (Your phone will continue to automatically back up to iCloud daily; this is just a second, manual backup, on your computer.)

  • ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

    iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

    Hello again,
    Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
    [Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
    a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
    b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
    c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
    d) Restart your computer;
    e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
    Hopefully all is well.
    Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
    And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
    Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
    Good luck.

  • HT4910 How do I delete things from iCloud?

    I want o delete things from the cloud and do not knw where to go or what to do

    What things do you want to delete?  For example, to delete a backup, you need to go to Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name, then on the resulting screen, tap Delete Backup.
    It all depends on what you want to delete - different things require different operations.

    I have been downloading books through my Kindle App on my iphone and ipad. Since they save in iCloud, how can I delete them since it apprears my icloud data storage is full.

  • HT201065 How do I delete things from iCloud

    My iCloud is almost full. I dont think I need to purchase additional storage because I dont believe I'd use it. I went through and deleted a bunch of my pics and a few apps and turned off backups on everything but my photos. It's still saying almost full. How to a clean up and make more storage?

    iTunes purchases cannot be deleted but they can be hidden:

    or pictures I have hard copies of.
    Pictures can be deleted directly from your My Photo Stream album.
    Photo Stream & purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.

  • Help deleting things from Icloud

    How can you delete items from your Icloud using your laptop to free space on your Ipad?

    Nothing in iCloud takes up storage capacity on your iPad except for the items that are already on the iPad. iCloud is a backup for your iPad, its not a storage drive in the cloud. If you want to make room on the iPad go to Setting>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete apps, but if you do, you delete the data as well. You can delete movies and TV shows. Most movies and TV shows can be downloaded again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. And they are the biggest space hogs on the iPad anyway.
    You do not need your laptop to do this. But it would probably be a good idea to backup your iPad and transfer purchases into iTunes before you delete content in the iPad and then you don't have to worry about downloading them again, since all of your content will be in your iTunes library.

  • Iphone won't let me delete photos!!!  HELP!

    I tried to back up my photos to the computer using iPhoto (seemingly successful) -- after it gives me the option of deleting the photos on my device, but when I ask it to do so, it doesn't and the photos are taking up over half my memory.
    Any advice???
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Are the photos in another album instead of the camera roll? You should be able to delete any photo in the camera roll. You cannot delete photos in other albums that you sync with itunes. You have to connect it to itunes and turn those albums off and resync the phone. That is the only way to delete those photos.

  • I can't delete a page in Pages. In Thumbnail is grouping pages together and won't let me delete it from the group

    How can I "de-group" pages in Pages. I want to delete a blank page, and it refuses to let me.

    This answer applies to Pages 4/iWork '09 or earlier. I don't use Pages 5 often enough to understand how it handles pages in the sidebar in 5.2.
    Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them.
