    How to delete recent contact in iphone text message?

    Actually I already copy all my cd,mp3 in my itunes I got 2457items song (all in my mac os hardisk).
    Now I need to sync all my music and movie using icloud or itunes match.
    I don;t want to use the cable. I wanted to sync using  icloud or itunes match.
    1. Can all the music and movie sync with icloud and direct sync with my iphone?
    2. Or all music and movie using itunes match and sync into my iphone?
    Is the cable only the way to sync all the  music and movie.
    Thank you.

    Mozilla would not have installed Outook Express on your computer, they do not offer Microsoft programs. This would have been something that you or somebody using your computer would have installed.
    Check the Windows control panel add/remove programs for Outlook Express, you should be able to uninstall it from there.

  • How to clear "recent" contacts listed automatically as you type email addresses in

    Hi everyone. When I go to type the address of an email I get as far as the first letter and a list of "recent" email addresses pops up, which is handy except for some reason the first one is a combination of two emails address, one I know and one I only vaguely recognise as possibly being a former student who might have been on a mailing list of mine at one time. This combo of emails addresses doesn't appear in my contact list or address book on its own, but since it shows up as I start typing my husband's email, I'm sure there has been a time or two where I've just selected it to autocomplete the address field, and ended up sending something probably embarrassingly personal to not just my husband but this other person as well. How do I go in and clear out my icloud's memory of past-sent emails?  Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • How to remove Recent contact in messages

    I want to know if there's a way to remove SMS contact history... for example go into messages, click on new message, then type a + and it starts listing recent phone numbers even if there not in your contacts... I have a slew of these from one off txts i've sent especially from group messages if i reply to someone?

    I would so love the answer to this too! I regularly have to text one offs for work and it is so annoying that these come up.
    I think there used to be a similar problem with Mail and now you have the option to Remove as it has a little arrow next to it.
    No idea why Apple feel the need to save this info - you want to regularly SMS that person - you save their number!

  • How can I disable the Auto Recent Contact Group in email

    The email app automatically selects a recent group of contacts instead of the primary contact.  This is extremely frustrating and very strange, IMO.  Why would the default be to list the group instead of the primary contact you are searching for first?
    Example:
    Compose New Email
    Start typing a contacts name int eh To: field
    the list Autopopulates with recently emailed groups before the main contact. 
    Is there a way to disable this "feature".  I know I can "Remove from Recents" but this is actually very tedious.
    Thanks!
    -Joe

    If you only want to select from saved contacts, then tap the Plus ( + ) sign on the right of the address bar to bring up your actual contacts list instead of using this method.
    You can still type a few letters into the search box at the top of the contact list to find your contact quickly.

  • HT4528 Howdy.  I keep getting a message stating that my apple ID has been disabled.  I recently contacted my CC company, AMEX, for several fradulent iTune charges, which is probably where the problem first originated.  How can I resolve this issue?

    Howdy.  I keep getting a message stating that my apple ID has been disabled.  I recently contacted my CC company, AMEX, for several fradulent iTune charges, which is probably where the problem first originated.  How can I resolve this issue?

    I had to dispute several unauthorized charges to itunes. My apple id was disabled after that. I followed jarnoldus's (older post) advice and it worked. Im duplicating his entry here with a few modifications. I hope this works for you.
    1. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    2. Choose your product (mine was ipad)
    3. Click the "iTunes, App Store or iBooks" icon
    4. Click "Apple ID account security"
    5. Type in "apple id has been disabled"
    6. Choose your country (mine was US)
    7. Choose the "talk to apple support now" option
    8. Provide the info they request (name, email, phone number)
    9. They will call you right away.
    Explain your apple id has been disabled. The rep will connect you to an iTunes rep. He/she will look up your account. You will be required to answer your 3 security questions. You MUST get a minimum of 2 correct. If you succeed they will enable your id. Good luck!

  • Recent Contacts - How many email addresses are kept?

    How many email addresses are kept on the recent contacts list? Can't find this listed anywhere.

    I assume you are referring to it physically putting another separate contact in Address Book, and not the autofill list when typing an address into a new message window.
    Mail does not have an option to add addresses from email to the address book automatically. The fact that you say it happens with the Exchange account and not the other accounts indicates that it's an exchange account problem.
    Are you syncing the exchange account contact list with apple's address book? If so, you might take another look to the exchange account for something there.

    Hi,
    What’s your Exchange environment? Exchange 2010 co-existing with Exchange 2013? Can you share your related transport rule here for more analysis? What’s your custom email address format?
    I created a custom address like Fax:Winnie@/FN=333 in my tab environment, it returned an error about “The address ‘Fax:Winnie@/FN=333’ is not a valid SMTP address”. Please update your Global Address List in Exchange server and if there is any error log,
    please provide more information for further analysis.
    Thanks,

  • Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

    Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail?  For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used.  I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts. 
    Another example:  When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future. 
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter. 

    The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
    If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

  • I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail".

    I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options

    Which os are you using?
    Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.

  • HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?

    How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?
    Perfernece for contact to change.  Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account?  Is only the autofill changable?

    If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
    They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
    There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
    If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
    If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.
