IOS 8.2, iphone 6, how can i delete part of a text.

I have pressed down on the part of the text I want to delete, the circle comes up to the left of the text, I highlight it, but the trash can will not appear at the bottom of the screen.  Delete all appears top left, but if I choose it, the entire conversation is deleted, not just the portion checked.

What are you seeing in the corner? Do you possibly see a camera icon? Either way, some have reported this glitch. Do a reset on your device. It will not affect your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The iPhone will reboot. Try to delete after that. If you still have a problem, then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the Messages app and then do the Reset.

  • I synced with iMac itunes and got many more contacts than I want on the iPhone. How can I delete multiple contacts rather than having to do so one at a time?

    I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
    When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
    Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
    For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

    hold your finger on the part of the message you want to delete. This will give you the copy and more option. Choose more, and then you will be able to choose the message or messages you want to delete. Once selected you will be able to tap the trash can icon on the bottom of your screen.

  • I have an iphone 4 how can I delete all my junk mail at the same time without having to selct each maessage

    How do i delete or empty all the messages in my junk email at the same time without having to mark each message?

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • How can I make part of the text bold

         TheProfileRoot.EngineeringText.text = "Level " + PlayerEngineerLevel + " Engineer - level up in " + PlayerReqEngineer + " xp";
    I want the "Level " + PlayerEngineerLevel to be bold. And the rest to be plain. How can I do this?

    I can't troubleshoot AS2.0 right now as my computer is undergoing a recovery, but from your post I can see a solution.  Assign variables to several text fields, some of them with the attributes of having bold text assigned in the Flash authoring platform, and some of them having default values.  I am sure there are attributes such as boldness that can be set using AS2.0 but again I can't troubleshoot and my reference material is not with me right now.  (Most of my reference material is for AS3.0 which I am in the process of learning)

  • How can I delete my old user ID from my iPhone?, How can I delete my old user ID from my iPhone?

    I have changed my provider so have a new address.  My iPhone automatically gives my old apple ID and wants me to put in the password.  I don't have a password for it but I cant use my ner username and password.  Any ideas how I can delete my old username off my iPhone apple ID?  My new name and password works on my desktop and my iPad.

    Did you update your Apple ID, or did you create a new one? To change the Apple ID signed in on the phone, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If you purchased apps under the old ID, they are forever locked to that ID. You will need that information to update the apps, or you will need to delete them and redownload them.

  • How can I delete part of a post?

    Hi, I was hoping a moderator could delete the 1st sentance on the 9th post here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3773711?start=0&tstart=0), because I would like to stay anonymous. Thank you.

    You probably already did ... the title of all posts is scanned by moderators for "requests" or "invalid content" (which yours in definitly NO invalid).
    I will "report" it for you to be sure it is noticed.

  • How can I delete multiple copies (600 ) of the same contact that ended up on my iPhone after backing it up on iTunes?

    In syncing my iPhone 3GS on iTunes, I now have many copies of the same contact -over 1,000 in one case-on my iPhone.  How can I delete these multiple copies without doing it one by one on my iPhone and how can I prevent it from happening again?  I have Outlook Contacts and MSN contacts -- iTunes is supposed to be syncing to my Outlook contacts, but I don't have multiple copies of any of my contacts there.  HELP!  Thanks!

    The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
    A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way.

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.
