I have 28,000 unread e-mails on my iPhone 5. How can I delete without having to select each one under edit?

Sounds like the email account is a POP account and if so, you have 28K emails that remain at the incoming mail server for the account. If all received email has been downloaded with the email client on your computer used for accessing the account, delete all email that remains at the incoming mail server. You can do this via webmail access for the account using a browser on your computer.
Folllow this by deleting and recreating the account on the iPhone.

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished. In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone. How can I get them back?

Hi,
No need to post three times!
Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

I have an iphone 4 how can I delete all my junk mail at the same time without having to selct each maessage

How do i delete or empty all the messages in my junk email at the same time without having to mark each message?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

I have accidentally deleted my inbox and now can only see unread mail on my iPhone. How can I restore this?

I have accidentally deleted (or hidden) my inbox. Now I can only see unread mail on my iphone. I have switched it off and on again but this has not fixed the problem. All help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ElizabethAnnT,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
With the Mail app open on your iPhone, notice which email account is showing in the top left corner of your screen. Tap on that mailbox and you should be taken back to the main MAILBOXES window. See the picture below:
If you tap the Edit button in the top right corner of your screen you will see a list including "All Inboxes" and "Unread." Make sure there is a blue circle with a checkmark to the left of all of these.

...tap Edit while viewing the Mailboxes list.

Trying to delete a lot of E-mails at once without having to tap each one individually

I just got my Playbook 1.
I have about 200 E-mails to delete.
I bring down the Menu on the top of the screen and I tap the "Select" key so the checkmark boxes appear next to each message. I tap the messages so the check mark appears on each one and then I tap the garbage can that appears at the right bottom side of the screen but sometimes it deletes a couple of them and sometimes it does not delete them at all.
I don't lime tike the idea of having to delete messages individually.
Can anyone suggest something or explain me why the "Select" function does not do the job?
Thank you for any help.

Steinmetz was doing all that select stuff anyway and it works OK for the rest of us. If they were not disappearing then I suspect a poor internet connection or poor response from the email server. They really need to sync properly to disappear altogether. Maybe it was some lousy Yahoo IMAP account.
Delete several times a day is the best approach, or if a real big cleanup is needed, delete on a computer then resync to playbook.

I have too many accounts and email address in ICloud. How can I delete them down to one?

Some of my address' are synching others are not? I would like to delete all extra accounts between my IPad, IMac and android phone??

If you did not back up with iCloud after you deleted your contacts you can restore from your last back up. If you did not you can re-add the mail account you deleted and the contacts should be saved with that mail account. If your contact list is on your Mac, determine whate email address the contacts are backed up to and then add that email address to your iPad

My old email comes up when I want to update my apps.and I know that email is old and I don't use it.however I don't have a password for it so am unable to update.how can I delete it? And have my current email for that

My old email come up when I want to update my apps.however I don't use that password at all,I've even had a message saying its not in use. I can't update them though which is really annoying! I've tried setting up that email again and change password but doesn't work at all.does anyone know how I can get rid of and use my current email?

Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now! Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
PS you`ll need to again verify bank details

When doing a search, the websites I have been to don't highlight a different color. How can I change this so I know which ones I have looked at?

On IE when I am doing a search the webpages I have been to, turn a purple color. Can I set Firefox to do the same thing? How would I do that?

That is the visited color.
You can check the Visited Links color: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors
Make sure that the History is enabled: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Remember my browsing history
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode, see [[Private Browsing]])
To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

My photos when downloaded from an iPad to an iMac, each have a suffix e.g. DSCF0066_5. These suffixes may differ i.e. DSCF0066_4; DSCF0066_7. How can I remove these without having to remove each one individually.

This causes the computer to assume that every suffixed photo is a duplicate of an existing one - which it is not.

Hi, this suffex named by the camera itself, you can use Automator scripts to rename them, or you also can export the photos and make new suffex as you desire via iPhoto export option.
but my advice to keep them as is, you don't need each photo on your library to be named correctly since you're browsing it by events, photos,faces,places etc.. also you can create albums and (TIP) when you select a photo (will get yellow square on the thumbnail) you can reveal it on Finder by going to File > Reveal in Finder which is really helpful and you could drag and drop from iPhoto to Finder window to copy the image.

Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.
