I want to edit/reset the "recent" folder list in Thunderbird. Where is this list stored?

There are a lot of "unused" or obsolete folders that show up when I am moving messages to another folder (such as Junk). Having all these showing up all the time makes it cumbersome when doing this. I presume this "recent" list is stored somewhere, but I've been unable to find it.

re :''You can't set your unified inbox to a favourite''
That's because the Unified Inbox is a type of search folder created for a unified view.
But I agree - if there is a drop down context option to choose ' favourite' then you expect it to appear in Favourite view.
So they should fix or remove the option to stop confusion.
I've located a bug report that was initially created years ago.

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How do i edit numbers in the recent call list?

I'm using iOS 5.0.1 on the 4s currently
Can anyone tell me how to edit the contact numbers in the recent call list? Eg. I would need to add a certain prefix in front of the number to return an overseas call in my recent call list. I tried to copy n paste the number after adding the prefix manually via keypad, but this method erases the prefix. Is there any other way to do this besides saving a different number in my contact list?

As it happens, I use my "Recent Applications" menu as a list of "favourite" apps more than as a way to access recent apps. I won't go into too many details of "why", but I do have the "Finder" in there.
I am using "Panther" so I don't know if this still works, but try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering this command:<pre>defaults write com.apple.recentitems apps -array-add '/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app'</pre>It may be necessary to log out and back in again for the change to take effect, or the change at least may only be active in apps launched after modification of the file. There may also be issues related to the number of items in the list - it may be necessary to increase the "Number of recent Applications" through "System Preferences", or else clearing the list before entering the above command.
I also keep my "com.apple.recentitems.plist" file "locked" - this prevents items from being dropped through non-use. Despite being "locked", the menu does update during a login session so I still get some "recent item" functionality from the menu. Everything does of course revert to the saved state for the next login, however.
Regarding the "Dock", in "Panther", after "hiding" the "Dock", it is relatively easy to "pause" or restart it, repectively, using:<pre>killall -STOP Dock
killall -CONT Dock</pre>Perhaps these commands could be incorporated into an "AppleScript" application and added to "Recent Applications". However, you will also lose the use of ⌘-Tab application switching, Exposé, widgets, and the ability to minimize windows while the "Dock" is paused. Alternatively, there are a number of preference settings that can be applied to the Dock's ".plist" file to minimize its obtrusiveness without affecting other "Dock.app" functions. However, it will be more difficult to toggle between the two states than simply pausing the whole app...

Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? Thanks!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Ipod has stopped putting songs into the recently played list, Any ideas Y?

My ipod has stopped counting songs and also now wont put any songs into the recently played playlist and its really annoying- Any ideas on how i can sort this out? I've reset the ipod which has done nothing and i have also updated itunes but again to no avail- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Lisa

I am also having this (or a similar) problem. For years I had an Auto Playlist of Podcasts with "Play Count is Zero"/Live updating rules so they were removed each time I synced my iPod after I listened to them. Recently, the Playlist has stopped updating. That is, the podcasts stay in the playlist because the play counts never update. They show in the podcast library with 0 plays no matter how many times I play them on my iPod.
I also noticed that none of songs I play have their playcounts updated in the Library after I play them on my iPod. All the syncing seems to be going one way (from the PC to the iPod and not the other way around). I picked a song with a playcount of 1 and it over and over just to test it out and no dice/no update.
Any clues? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried resetting the iPod.... And the iPod played tunes/casts are also not appearing in the Recently Played list....

How can I delete the recent calls list in FaceTime?

How can I delete the recent calls list in FaceTime of my Mac?

Hello muchaim,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to delete the recent call list. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
FaceTime for Mac (Yosemite): Make and receive FaceTime calls
FaceTime keeps a list of the most recent calls you made, received, or declined, with the most recent call at the top. To return a call, click the Video button or the Audio button . To remove a call, select it and press Delete.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

[Your Music] Clear items in the 'Recently Played' list permanently

Would like to have an option to clear items from the Recently Played list permanently.
Hidden items reappear as soon as I connect the device to the Internet.

Updated: 2015-07-14Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search. ;)

How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

Hello,
That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
Thanks and have a good day,
Trevor

I can't save my contacts through the recent call list or through a message !!! Help!

I can't save a number from like my messages when a number text me that I don't have on my phone and I can't save it through the recent call list either. I have to manually do it from my contacts! Help!! Please

The things is, I have access to all the severs with all the permissions.
I don't have that option. But I tried something new. I've put all the files in one big folder on my desktop,. It seems to work that way. It's weird cause I don't have that problem with the other adobe apps.
Thank you.

I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library. How can I do this?

I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library. How can I do this?

From here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
Transferring a recording to a computer
Manually
Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
Synchronize
If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
