IMessages still show after deleting Chat.db

Hello All,
I have a rather perplexing problem. I have cleared iMessage's chat.db, chat.db-shm, and chat.db-wal, emptying the trash successfully. I have also deleted all archives in the iChat folder within my documents folder.
When I search for a keyword in spotlight on iMessages though, the messages in question still come up, but only when I have had a recent conversation with the specific person the keyword search comes up with. If I delete the conversation with this person, the search of the keyword shows nothing. Is there anywhere else the messages could be being stored? The same process of deleting chat.db etc on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.5 worked successfully, but it will not seem to work on my iMac running 10.9.5.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Hi,
iChat stored Saved Chats in ~/Documents/iChats by default.
Messages stores them in a folder called Archive.
This is tucked away in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Messages
See Path Bar at bottom of this pic.
If you Save Chats this stores them in this location by dated folders.
Searching for info in them will bring them back like the Chat.db items do for iMessages "History" when you reconnect to a previous Contact.
However it works for AIM, Jabber and other conversations and Chats you have had as well as the iMessages ones you may have Saved.

Anyway thank You very much for help. The problem isn't solved yet.

Carrier sign still showing after wiping and reloading OS?

Hello dear users, In my thread of "application installation issues", it seems to be determined that my carrier who I got the phone from, is blocking the install of applications as I get a 910 error, application authorization failure, when i try to install an application from: www.blackberry.com/screenreader/ After some searching, I've come across BBSAK, which I use to wipe the phone and reload the oS. I've also come across the tool "vendelete" which deletes the vendor.xml files. So I do the following: 1. uninstall the original carrier OS from pc. 2. Install OS from different carrier to pc. 3. Use vendelete to get rid of the xml files which it says no xml files were found. 4. Use bbsak to wipe the oS. 5. reload the OS. But when the phone boots up, it still shows the sign of the carrier which I don't want, so i presume nothing has been updated? since when I try to install the application again, I still get the 910 error. What am i doing wrong here? Help would be much appreciated. Regards,
Solved!

Hello,
Ok, is there anything else that is not being wiped apart from the splash screen?
I mean anything else that would be the cause for not being able to get passed the 910 error? apart from the IT policy which was mentioned.
Actually, the IT Policy is another thing that is not removed by other Wipe methods, nor is it removed when you install a different carriers OS to the BB. See this for the proper IT Policy removal process:
KB18998 How to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory defaults
If, when you do this, you take a backup first, then you MUST NOT do a wholesale restore afterwards...if you do, the IT Policy will dutifully be put back on. You must do a selective restore of only those specific databases that you require, being 100% certain to EXCLUDE from the restore any that deal with the IT Policy:
KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list
Also, see this for the official document from RIM regarding the 910 error.
KB12230 "Download Failed: 910 Application authorization failure" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone when installing an application
From all of your symptoms, a latent IT Policy on board the BB could be the root cause of everything, so I recommend you use the above methods and truly cleanse your BB of the IT Policy. I think I'd suggest the following steps, just to be sure that things are truly clean...also insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots. Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove all device OS update packages from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM Desktop Software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
Some have reported that manually cleansing the registry of all keys related to RIM, BB, and Puma to also be helpful
Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
Still others have reported the use of your original PIM (e.g., Outlook, NOTES, etc.) installation CD, running the "repair" process, to be helpful in some situations
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM Desktop Software:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your currently installed (on your BB) device OS package from your carrier (if it's not the original carrier, then you know already to delete all copies of VENDOR.XML after installing to the PC):
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install the Desktop Software to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) If you need a backup from the BB, take a full one now:
KB23680 Backup BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 to 7.0
8) Perform the ResetToFactory
KB18998 How to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory defaults
9) If you want a different OS on the BB, then remove the OS Package from your PC and install the one you desire onto your PC (but not yet to your BB)...again, remove VENDOR.XML files if the package is not from the BB's original carrier.
10) Use BBSAK to wipe the BB and then load the OS to the BB
11) If you took the backup in step 7, use that as source for a selective restore, including only the databases you require and excluding all databases that have anything to do with the IT Policy:
KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup
12) Now see if you can proceed with installing apps
Good luck and let us know!

IPhoto still showing after upgrading to photos

Hi,
i've upgraded to Photos (Yosemite 10.10.3), however iPhotos is still showing as well as Photos. Is there anyway I can remove this? I've tried to via the 'App Cleaner' program, however iPhoto is shown as locked? It just seems stupid to have it taking up room on my drive when its obsolete!

iPhoto still works and will not interfere with the new Photos. If you have the space, I would hold on to it for a while till you are completely satisfied with Photos. There are many "issues" that have been reported.
If you really want to delete it, go to your Applications folder and select the app.
Go to it's 'info' panel by clicking Cmd-i
When the panel opens, click on the lock in the bottom right hand corner; this will ask for your computer password to unlock the panel.
Click on the plus sign. This will open another window that will allow you to add yourself to the "Name" list in the info panel.
Select your name.
Go to the info panel and set your "Privilege" to Read & Write
Click on the Lock.
You should now be able to Cmd-Delete the file.

App Store Updates still showing after update

I have downloaded lots of apps for my iPod touch and I had one update available from the App Store. I have downloaded the update on my iPod twice, in iTunes 3 times and I have synced the iPod over and over again and the update is still showing in the App Store even after I have already installed it. What can I do to fix this?

For what is worth, this started happening to me as well, I got two updates "fixed" there albeit the apps have been updated days ago...

If you have a good set of routine maintenance running, it will get down

automatic after 7 days will help. The other part of the puzzle is having
GWChecks on Contents run on a regular basis (weekly) as that will get rid
of the rest of the bits.

Cablecard charges still showing after returning the card to Verizon

How long does it usually take for the cable card charges to get dropped after returning the card? I sent my cable card back to Verizon (in prepaid box that they sent me - TY!) a month ago, and the charges still show up on my account. When I talked to the customer rep, they suggested that I wait a bit longer to see if the cable card removal will automatically show up under my account. However, I somehow doubt that the system will show that the card was returned. I have pictures of the box and the tracking number, as well UPS' tracking info (accepted by Verizon on 3/19/2013 and signed by Taylor). Does it usually take that long for Verizon to update their system?

Bill still showing after cancelation

I recently (June) cancelled my Comcast, and brought the equipment back to Comcast. I have the receipt. When I log into my account it still shows a bill of $181.something, and it says my equipment is still working. lol! Of course, there doesn't appear to be a way of emailing Comcast to ask what's up. (Former Acct: 8155300150594604) I don't want to waste my time being on the phone with their service center. btw: Switching to Sonic was easy, and OTT with HBONow and Amazon Prime rocks!

My MBP Still freezes after deleting SU 2006-003

Hi Guys,
Like many others I did the SU 2006-003 on Friday, and found my MBP freezing up on start-up, after deleting the Version Cue CS2 from the start-up items I still got the freezing effect, so I called Apple and they said that my MBP had an option to reinstall the 10.4.5 (my DVD version) without loosing my user preferences, so I did that. And all my problems where solved, and then I did a software update of all the updates except the SU 2006-003, to my surprise the MBP still freezes. So I came to the conclusion that both SU 2006-003 and QT 7.1 came out on the same day, but everyone thought that SU 2006-003 was the problem. When all along was the QT 7.1 causing the problem, both QT 7.1 and Adobe Suite apps run in the background at start-up, apparently they contradict each other now, so I tried reinstalling Adobe Suite CS2, and I can't even think about installing Version Cue, cause that freezes the MBP right away, during the installation!!!.
So after doing a save mode and deleting Version Cue (again), I go back to my normal system (witch now is 10.4.6) and try to run the rest of the Adobe Suite apps, to my surprise all work well except the Adobe Acrobat, the main app for PDF's, once I double click that App the MBP freezes up. So now I'm tempted again to reinstall the 10.4.5 and not do the QT 7.1 update as well.
Can anyone give me a better solution? This one takes to much time and a great deal of concentration, cause not all of my apps work well after this, so I have to reinstall them again, mainly Parallels, Missing sync, Documentstogo, Backupbuddy, and others. It's a real pain.

No, I don't use the Adobe suite. I do have the Adobe Reader, Photoshop Elements 4.0, and Acrobat 6.x installed. They all run without a problem as does Microsoft Office 2004 X.
Please be careful about installing or moving anything from an old system onto the Intel Mac unless you know it's a universal binary and compatible. Default Folder 2.0.x is not compatible. Get Default Folder 3.0 (just released.)
Here's some more related info:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

ICloud icon still shows after movie downloaded

I bought the Iron Man2 HD movie and at first it said there was an error downloading the SD but then I got it. But why does it still show an iCloud icon in Purchased?

All it means is that some of your iTunes Library is available in the cloud. This could either be iTunes in the Cloud (where previous purchases are available for re-download), or iTunes Match.

App Store badges still showing after update

Just updated to iOS 8.1 and after syncing my iPhone and iPad there are still badges showing for the number of updates available on the AppStore icon. When I open the App Store on the device it does not show any updates available. In the past when this happened all I did was open the App Store and tap updates. A message came up telling me all apps have been updated and the badge disappeared. Now it is stuck on a number and won't change.

I had the same problem and submitted a feedback report. Until the bug is fixed I just deleted the app, then went to "Purchased" and re-downloaded the app and the badge disappears.

Condition records in ERP sales order still there after deletion

Hello,
I have maintained all the settings needed for lean order (creating ERP sales order from crm opportunity in CRM webui).
Now when i create a ERP sales order in CRM using LORD, there are certain condition values determined correctly (note that they are variant based condition values).
However depending upon the sales scenario, certain conditions are to be deleted from pricing details at item level. So, far no issue.
After I save this ERP sales order, and go to see it in our ERP system, i find that those condition values are still there !
I am unable to understand why this is happening.
Please help me.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, for your question "One more point confirm with you, you create sale order in CRM as a CRM order ( type LORD), and the order will transfer to ERP by CRM middleware, right?" , the answer is no i dont create a CRM order, however i create an ERP order in crm webclient. This feature of CRM 7.0 is explained in following documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/17/99fb62928c46c28c10f3ebc52fdfa8/frameset.htm (then navigate to Entry of ERP Sales Transactions in SAP CRM)
As you also asked me to change the settings of condition type as manual input, which cannot be done because this will affect our business process to large extent, and my users will not accept it, hope you understand my situation
Please let me know if you can help me in some other way, or you want me to check some more settings.
Regards

External hard drive is still full after deleting files

I everyone, i really need some help with my hard drive. I have the Lacie 500gb firewire hard drive. I am save most of my short films, and other works on it while using final cut. While rendering videos recently , its said that i needed to free up space. When i right click and click on the get info for the hard drive, it told me 493.34gb has been used. I have deleted almost all the huge files i have on there after uploading to my cloud, but its making no difference. Its not freeing up any space. and I'm now at 497gb. Now i have almost totally deleted everything on it, and its still saying i have only about 2.7gb left on it.
I really can't afford to go and get another hard drive right now and just need to free up some space on this hard drive to continue working.
Please tell me what i am doing wrong so i can free up much necessary space on this drive.
I anxiously await your assistance.
thanks a whole lot!!

Dig deep, because it sounds like your best solution is to actually get another External Hard Drive.
I don't normally recommend inexpensive USB portable hard drives for everyday use, but that might be a good solution for old files that you would really rather save than trash to make room.
For example's:
