IMessage won't stay gone

I am trying to delete an iMessage that is probably about a year old. When I delete it I will let the phone sit overnight to "process" when I wake up in the morning I have no texts or emails so I close out of the iMessage app and then open it back up. All my txts are gone at this point and upon restarting the phone everything appears including what I deleted. I don't have find messages turned on in spotlight either and that seems to be the common "fix." I back up regularly also.

How much free storage space do you have available on your iPhone?
Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

Indesign question: Master page items I remove won't stay gone

I'm working on laying out a book, with various chapters which are separate files. Naturally there's a master page with various guides I use a lot, as well as a fairly standard running header with page numbers and chapter and section names. As is standard practise, I want these to appear on nearly every page, but not on the first pages of chapters. (There are other times I might want to override this, but that's the main one.) So, I Ctrl-Shift-click and delete them when I set up a new chapter.
Problem is, they don't stay gone. Every so often, I open up a previous chapter and find that these elements are back on the first page of that chapter, and I delete them again. I've only been noticing this since I made the chapters in question into a book file so I could keep an eye on my page count and synch up styles more easily.
My best guess is that maybe it has something to do with the aforementioned synching. I do want those chapters to share the same master page(s) but do not want IDto keep reapplying elements from them to individual pages that I've already manually removed them from (sometimes more than once). How can I prevent this from happening? (Or alternatively, if this isn't the cause of the problem, what else could it be and how do I deal with that?)

Fair enough. Guess that's just as easy, if not slightly easier, than what I've been doing, and so far it seems to be working.

FaceTime and iMessage won't stay signed in

HI everyone,
This is a problem that has been bothering me for a few months. My family shares one iCloud account, which we use to make purchases all to one credit card. I also have my own Apple ID that I use for iMessage and FaceTime. Lately, however, my iPad has not been letting me stay signed in. The default Apple ID it gives me when I want to log in is my family ID. It has this in the username, so I delete it all, type my own in, and type my password. Then it says I'm logged in, but if I leave the page and come back it will go back to wanting me to sign in using my family account. if anyone can help me out that'd be great. Also this is when I'm trying to sign in through Settings. If I go through iMessage, it just straight up won't sign me in.
Thanks tons!

Hi ayyyschultzy,

How do I uninstall evernote? because it won't stay gone.

I have evernote, apparently. I mean, I dragged the app to my trash and emptied it about 18 months ago when I discovered that it was a bloated piece of crap. But ever since then, it's been coming back again. By itself. I thought I'd select "Macintosh HD" and search for "Evernote", thinking it would locate the app itself - no search results show the app.
If I go to my launchpad, I see its icon. And I can launch it. So yeah, apparently it doesn't exist on my computer, but I can use it. That's odd.
I of course can't right click it from Launchpad, so the only way to work out where it is is to drag it from the launchpad to the dock, then right-click on the dock icon and say "Open in Finder".
Holy crap! It's installed in a FOLDER inside /volumes. No freaking way I'd put a folder there myself, I didn't realise that you could. Something in MacOS is creating this and putting it there. I mean, it's beside the Macintosh HD icon, apparently not on it. Can someone explain that?
Oh, and yes, I have an external 1TB hard drive, which is labelled "1TB". But it's currently in my bag, next to my desk. It's not connected. It hasn't been connected for a few days now. When it *is* connected, it shows up with its yellow icon here under Volumes, and I can browse it. Oh, and yeah, I've trashed Evernote from there too, every time I find it again.
SOMETHING in MacOS wants me to have Evernote. I've gone ahead and trashed this again, but I've done this before, and I'm fully expecting that when I next power cycle this box it will magically re-appear and insinuate itself on my system again. Trashing it apparently doesn't mean it won't appear again. I've trashed all the preference files I could find that mention Evernote. I did this last time too, but they magically re-appeared. I still have Skitch because I find that useful, but that's the only app that ties in with Evernote that I know I have. Is there any way one app can install another app without prompting me to enter my password? I don't think there is. So it must be the app store somehow thinking I want this and installing it for me.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Launch the Activity Monitor in /Utilities and sort by name. Select any that refer to the app (shame you didn't indicate what it was), click on the Quit Process button, and click on Force Quit. When all are gone, empty the trash.

How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted. Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
Thanks.

Hi,
First off.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
If you "close" or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
However this only happens once. When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

I recommended this step
1. do printer troubleshooting

2. Uninstall antivirus using removal tools (Kapersky)
3. Registry trick as
JSB43211 suggested, backup your registry before perform this
1. Open Regedit as Administrator
2. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\ key.
3. If you are on a 64-Bit machine, browse to the "Windows x64" sub-key (else "Windows NT x86")
4. Under the "Print Processors" sub-key DELETE ALL THE SUB-KEYS EXCEPT "winprint" key
5. Start the Print Spooler service.
6. Test to see if you can Add a printer.

Icons won't stay in dock

Some icons won't stay in my dock when I drag them from the applications folder, but others will.
I have tried the following without success:
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.plist then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.db then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.DiskUtility.plist then done a restart
-used disc utility to repair permissions
-opened an application from the applications folder then whilst the icon is in the dock used right click.options/keep in dock
-deselected dock synchronisation from mobile me sync
None of these measures work though iPhoto & iTunes are not affected by the problem.
The only workaround I have found is to create an alias of an application and drag this to the dock where it does stay put.
Can anyone suggest anything else?

Won't stay connected to network

Not sure if this is a Safari problem or internal with my Mac somehow. I have a G5 and I connect to a router for wireless internet. I also connect to my printer through the same router.
I've noticed sometimes when I exit safari and then come back to the computer later and click the Safari Icon it sometimes doesn't connect to the internet without me having to go through a "Network Diagnostic" test. Then usually what happens is about half way through the diagnostics my internet home page will load, or I'll get to the end of the diagnostic and it says "your connection is working" and then the home page will appear.
The problem I have now is that my computer won't stay connected to my printer. If I try to print a document or photo it does not send it to the printer, however if I turn Safari on so I know I'm connected to the network then all of a sudden the printer will work.
I guess somehow my computer is automatically disconnecting from my network and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. I've gone into the network preferences an it always shows "airport" is on and I always show all "solid" in the little icon at the top that looks like a "fan".
Any thoughts here on why my comp doesn't seem to stay connected to the network?
Thank you.

HI,
Try updating your system software to 10.5.8 with the combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Numbers won't stay open

When I open Numbers, it won't stay open. It opens, I select the document I want to edit, click on a cell and Numbers shuts down. It also shuts down if it's open and I click on a window for another app. No crash message or anything like that. Just - poof, and it's gone. Thanks for your help.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

My Itunes Won't Stay Minimized In Windows Vista

My Itunes won't stay minimized. I will minimize it and then it will pop back up, i don't know if this issue has been addressed before but its driving me insane. what do i do?
Message was edited by: stop-doogle-time

I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

IPhone won't stay unlocked after official O2 Unlock...

As per a previous topic, I now have the official carrier unlock applied to my iPhone 3G (originally only on o2). Reason for requesting unlock is that I've gone abroad for a month.
I'm having some problems with the implementation of the unlock. The first time I put the Sim in, it requested the phone be connected to iTunes, which I duly did. The phone then appeared to be successfully unlocked - and indeed, a Vodaphone NZ sim worked fine.
However, when I put my phone into airplane mode, or swap to my O2 sim card and back to the Voda one, the phone then re-presents the "please connect to iTunes, different SIM installed" screen - and won't let me do anything until I do.
Anyone got any ideas on making this unlock actually stick on the device?

Thanks for the tips. Rebooting doesn't work, have tried that.
Restoring the iPhone - ahhh what a lovely process apple have come up with here... Given I'm abroad, web access is transient at best via wifi. And I can't use the data connection with my chosen NZ provider as the phone won't stay unlocked!
Is there a way to restore the phone WITHOUT a web connection? Itunes insists it must download the software - which is a 250MB download on a platform which doesn't support resumable downloads (What is this, 1998!?)
I'm loath to do a hard restore (Turn Off, Hold Home Button down for 10 seconds, incase this breaks the phone even more).
I'll definately be having words with my local apple store when I get back - I've never ever had this much trouble doing something as simple as an unlock before.

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob
G-4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
