  • Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!

    How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

    It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.

  • How to Delete Messages in Spotlight Search History without Resetting or Syncing!!

    I know there are a lot of individuals dealing with this issue and if you are like me you spend hours searching "how to delete messages in spotlight search history" and it seems like every post either says to reset your phone or sync it! I'm sorry but I did not want to go through the hassle of resetting my phone but I did try to sync it which did nothing so I decided to just mess around with my settings and I believe to have found the answer to everyone's question!!
    This worked for me so I really hope this works for you! Just follow the steps below:
    1. Go to <settings><general><spotlight search><uncheck messages>
    2. Then turn your phone off and wait a minute! Turn your phone back on and off again 2 or 3 more times while waiting a minute in between turning it off!
    3. After you are done doing that go back to step 1 and <check messages>!
    4. Now go to your spotlight search and those messages should be deleted! If they are deleted I would recommend going back to step 1 and <uncheck messages> so you do not have the same problem with messages showing up again in the spotlight search!
    It works for Mail too! Just follow the same steps listed above but uncheck mail instead of messages or do both at the same time!!
    *Here is an extra tip which will remove deleted Mail Messages, just follow the steps below:
    1. Go to <settings><mail, contacts, calendars><your mail account> scroll down and click <advanced> Now click <remove> under the title Deleted Messages and you can choose to have your mail removed After One Day, After One Week, After One Month or Never.
    I hope this post was detailed enough and easy to understand!
    I really hope it works for you like it did for me!
    Good Luck!!!

    I tried this fix and it does not work.
    I have read that this is a problem for a long time - years. Me, personally, I do have emails and texts from the past that are private and were deleted, that I do not want my husband or daughter to read. Many people have this complaint and have had it a long time. Why does Apple not fix it?!?
    Another privacy issue is the iMessage default settings on new devices. We bought a new iPhone for my college-age daughter and received all of her text messages until we noticed it and told her. We did a temporary fix. Then I got a new iPhone and the same thing happened. I had to set up iCloud accts. for each of us so that we each have privacy that cannot be tampered with. We still share our original iTunes account. Why did that have to happen?!? 
    We have been Apple consumers (laptops, iPads, iPods, iPhones) for over ten years (? longer w/just desk top) w/ the same account. These breaches in privacy are upsetting!!  My point here is that these breaches are unacceptable!  The spotlight search issue appears to be unresolved.  FIX THIS APPLE! 

  • How to delete Message cache without bouncing web server?

    When a message ( FND_NEW_MESSAGES) that is used in a OA Framework page is updated, it is not reflected in the OA web page right away.
    Clearing cache through Functional Administrator does not help for messages.
    How to delete message cache so that a OA Framework page shows updated message text? Is there any way other than bouncing web server?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I think clearing cache through Functional Administrator should do.
    You can try the below process...
    Search for "_pages" (get in touch with DBA to know exact path) in $COMMON_TOP and remove using command "rm -Rf _pages". Then clear cache through Functional Administrator.
    Let us know if this helps.

    go into the apps page on your itunes - its in the list at the top of the page that starts with music (you don't need to have iphone connected)  right click on the apps you want to delete and then choose delete. When you next connect you iphone to update it will ask if you want to transfer things from your iphone to your itunes - click no as i think this will mean that the apps that are on your phone will go to the itunes and the deleted apps will be in itunes again (not really sure about that bit but i think i am right!!) when your iphone is updated it will tell you eventually that it is removing items from the phone - the apps will be removed.                                                                                    30GB video, 8 gb nano, 16gb iTouch, 3G iPhone, Windows 2000

    The part of this that provided the working solution has to do with the location in iTunes you are doing your App management.  You have to be in the Apps item selected in the left part of the iTunes screen... not in the Apps Tab of the iPod you are trying to manage.  Having me do the delete with the iPod Touch disconnected was the detail that made me go look in the Library.
    I missed this subtile clue in Philly_Phan's post... Philly_Phan did tell me how to do it, I just missed the connection due to there being too many ways to view and manage content.  The "Library" part is the detail I missed.
    I hope this helps others, and I am greatly in debt to Bunnydrummer and Philly_Phan... thanks you guys!

  • I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

    I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

    To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
    As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.

  • CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DELETE AN APP FROM MY LG REVOLUTION?

    CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DELETE AN APP FROM MY LG REVOLUTION?

    That is going to depend on where the application is stored...
    If it's Bloatware (e.g. Verizon Navigator, Bing, etc...) you will need Root permission on your phone to remove it.
    If it's something you installed from the Google Play Store, then all you will need to do is open the Play store, select the Menu button, select "My Apps" and then open the app.  This should give you the "Uninstall" button.
    Hope this helps

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • Can I import old iMessages into the Messages App on an iMac?

    Howdy all:
    I've been using iMessages on my iPhone for a long while now, but only recently set it up on my iMac.
    I'm wondering if there is any way to get all my old iMessage threads to show up in the Messages App on the iMac.
    Right now, I am only seeing the threads that I've intereacted with since setting up Messages on iMac, and they only go back as far as when I set it up.
    Make sense?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hi,
    The "sync" between and iPhone (or other iOS device) and a Mac only works from the time both devices have the same details.
    Effectively this is the time that the iPhone has the Apple ID added to it's settings and the pop ups that appear on the Mac about the iPhone's details are accepted.
    The Sync  is then "Display on all devices" only.
    There is no catch up on existing threads on either device on the other.
    If you delete an iMessages or a conversation on one device the other is unaffected.

  • Cannot load Messages app on my iMac

    I have an iMac running Yosemite and an iPhone running 8.1. Occasionally messages appear on my iMac but they don’t arppear on my phone. When I open the Messages app on my iMac I cannot access the messages. The Preferences option and Add Account option is greyed out in the menu. Can I reload the Messages app, or is there something else I should do to have the iMessage app working on my iMac?

    Oh, I seem to have resolved it. No idea how, but creating a new Messages account seemed to kick start it all.

  • How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

    how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

    As per email.
    Hi,
    In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
    Navigate to the Preferences folder.
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
    This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
    If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    On the iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Messages  and check the app is ON first.
    Then check the Send and Receive Section.
    This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
    Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
    If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
    This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
    Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
    After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
    You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
    (I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
    You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
    If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
    Please stick to one method of asking me  (The thread will do for now.)
    I am here 3 hours every evening.
    I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
    I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
    Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
    In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
    Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that.  (The Status Message one will not)
    You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font  is the answer.
