If I delete a message using delete key, AND the "Find in this message" box is open, should the focus switch to the search box, or remain in the message list?

If the "Find in this message" search box has been left open, but I have selected a message in the message pane, if I use the delete key to delete the current message, the focus moves to the "Find" box. It took me a while to figure out why the focus did not remain in the message list so I could delete the next message. I can regain the desired behavior by closing the search box, but it would be nice to not need to. This is on a Windows 7 OS. I should check to see how it behaves on a Linux box.

Hi,
for the Points
Sometime I think I would like it if I could delete an iMessage completely.
Other times when reading them on my iPhone I wish to leave them until I can answer them with something that is on my Mac.
It seems that as a device or a Mac that is off line can "catch up" on iMessages sent within a few hours would suggest that the iMessages are held on the server for a period.
It would be handy for different levels of "deletion".

I hit the delete key and the highlighted song on the playlist doesnt delete ??

In I tunes I hit the delete key and the highlighted song does not delete. I followed the exact steps from the manual ??????

In my experience you can't delete songs from the library when you are starting from a smart playlist. If you delete songs from a manually created playlist, this deletes the song from that playlist view ONLY, and leaves the song in your library. If what you want to do is delete a song from your library altogether, the only way I know of is to do this from the library view.
If you want to delete a song from a smart playlist, you can't do this directly. You need to either change the criteria for your smart playlist so that the offending song isn't selected any more, or else "uncheck" the song, and make sure that your smart playlist collects "checked songs only".
One easy-ish way to exclude songs from your smart playlist might be to change the rating, and make sure that your smart playlist excludes all songs with that rating. However, watch out that you don't end up with a combination of rules that end up excluding all songs so that the playlist is empty, or else including too many songs so that too many items match the criteria.
If I have not understood your problem correctly, please reply with more details. Thanks!

Recently, the delete key and rt click delete do not remove a message. Have to restart T'Bird to be able to delete a message. Using v 24.5.0

The delete key and the right click delete suddenly don't delete a messsage.
Restarting Thunderbird and then they both work.
What should I be looking for?

I tried that - but same result.

Why does the delete key on the keyboard go backward? How can I make it go the other way?

I'm used to a PC keyboard that enables me to delete characters from where my cursor it to the next space to the right. The keyboard I have with my Mac, alas, is frustrating for me to use because it goes backwards from what I am used to. Is there a fix to this? My PC keyboard has a backspace button in addition to the delete button, so it is very straightforward for me that way.

The delete key, if the cursor is placed mid sentence, will remove letters etc forwards from that cursor point. If you are deleting from the end of a sentence, the backward facing long arrow above the return key will delete backwards from that point.
For groups of letters or sentences, highlight them and press delete.
It is one of those situations where you should learn the new approach because the rest of the system is geared to it.

Delete Key and Space Bar Stopped Working

I have an older MacPro - the MacPro 1,1 model.
Hadn't used it in a while a - when I set it up again the keyboard's Delete key and SpaceBar won't work.
Here is the topline:
1. I left the power cord in the office and used a PC one. Not sure if this could be the cause.
2. I upgraded to 10.6.8 the most current. Didn't help.
3. Reset the PRAM - Didn't Help.
4. Checked the Keyboard Viewer - Not sure what that does other than to confirm something is happening.
If I had to guess - and based on other forums I have looked at - it will likely be a power issue.
How that affects these keys - I have no idea.
I will test this next.
But if anyone has experienced this would love to hear if you solved it.
Thanks,

Thanks Grant,
appreciate the info.
I did try that, and switching the power cord (Which was a long shot) and still not luck.
Pretty facinating issue.
I am going ot continue to look through the forums and see if I find anything.
Thanks again!
If anyone else has had this issue with an older MacPro - I would love ot hear it.

ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library. Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library. With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder. This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
Thanks so much for your help.

I have just started using iPhone 4s and cannot find out how to delete unwanted photos. I have used iPhone 3 gs for last 2 years and had no problem with this. Phone is connected to i cloud. Help please.

I have just started using iPhone 4s and cannot find how to delete photos. Have used iPhone 3 GS for last 2 years and not had this problem. I have iCloud for my Apple family and don't know if this is causing problem. Help please.

Log in to icloud.com with your Apple ID. Once you're logged in, click on your name on the upper right corner. Click Advanced and then Reset Photo Stream. This will delete all your photos in the album Photo Stream in your iPhone 4S so make sure you have backed up (copy to Camera Roll or new folder) all those that you want to keep.
This is the only way to do it with iOS 5 (not the beta releases)

On a rare happenstance, I was viewing my passwords, attempting to print them or copy. During cleaning of keys, I hit the delete key, and my passwords were all wiped out. Where did they go?

The "delete Key" removes the character to the left, as a backspace key does, can this changed?

The "delete Key" removes the character to the left, as a backspace key does, can this changed?

Yes, hold the FN key down as you hit delete to delete from the right.

IPhone and iPad Built in Delete key and backspace key.

iPhone and iPad should have built in Delete key besides the backspace key. Due to screen with virtual default keyboard and big finger, it is difficult to position the cursor accurately. A delete key should be made available to improve productivity.

First of all, you cannot delete those backup files. All those files are needed in the event of a "Restore from Backup" is required. Everytime you do a backup, itunes only update those files with changes made on the phone or iPad only from the last backup. If there are no new changes to certain contents or media, the files will remain untouched in the folder. This is the reason why you have some files dated as back as one year ago. Now, even if you have deleted some of those files, a new backup will add those files back during the process.
As for changing the Default location of the backup folder, you may refer to this link but do at your own risk:

I installed Windows 7 in my Macbook pro, I can access Windows data in Mac, but I can't copy and delete it. and the same case while i am working in Windows. Could you please guide me if there is any solution, where I could copy/paste/delete my data.

OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.
Good Luck

How to delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them

How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them. I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

I think you can just drag it to the trash folder. Otherwise you have to select it and press delete. If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it. So you have to have the preview window closed.
P.S.
I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

If I delete a message using delete key, AND the "Find in this message" box is open, should the focus switch to the search box, or remain in the message list?
