IPad iOS 8.2 still won't allow delete of ALL email messages at once?

iOS 8.2 still won't allow deletion of ALL email messages at once from my iPad? What could be the reason for this? The work-around solutions I see on Internet work erratically for me.
I'm an Android cellphone user so can delete all emails from my phone with a click or two. Is that a patent issue for Apple? There is no way to delete ALL email messages easily?

Had the same problem. There is an undocumented way under another thread and it works, but is clunky and very un-Mac-like.
The Apple thread that I got the undocumented answer from is:
Delete all email in Inbox iOS7
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5421295?start=15&tstart=0
I've copied the answer below:
From inbox edit
MARK ALL AS READ (for me and several others in the thread it only works, when I marked all as read)
Highlight first email
Hold move button
Try to unhighlight first email (probably won't )
Still holding move button pull down on mails  and then try to unhighlight first email again
This time it should
You will notice the inbox seems frozen as move is no longer highlighted and individual emails will not highlight if you touch them
Wait May take a minute or two depending on how many emails are in your inbox but they will move to the right side
Then just touch trash
The YouTube link that demonstrates this is:

Hope this helps!

    Okay ... it's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start the Apple Mobile Device Service, but we'd better check for a LSP issue, as per the following document:

  • HT4972 If I upgrade my iPad iOS 4.3 to 6.3 will I loose all my apps progress I mean game progress ?

    If I upgrade my iPad iOS 4.3 to 6.3 will I loose all my apps progress I mean game progress ?

    If you back up your iPad before you upgrade and then restore that backup afterwards, you should get back all your saved data, but whether that will include all your game progress will depend on how the developer of the game created it. If your game progress is important to you, I'd suggest contacting the developers of your games and confirming before you upgrade.
    The current version of iOS is 6.1.3, just to avoid potential confusion.

  • I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4

    Hi,
    I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4. This sync only complete account setting but not email message.
    Can anybody help me to fix the problem?

    You can't "fix" this problem because you can't sync email messages from the Mac mail app, you can only sync your email account settings. Messages will not sync using iTunes.

  • HT3209 My Computer supports all of the requirements, plus I use Apple TV, iPhone4s, and the New iPad (dumb name by the way) and it still won't allow me to download HD Movies. What is wrong with this picture?

    Why is that my PC supports all of the requirements for HD video but iTunes won't allow me to Download HD Movie. I am able to handle some of the most intense PC Games and I have HD movies Downloaded from previous versions of iTunes that work just fine. This is just stupid that iTunes thinks it knows my Computer's capibilities better than I do. Is there a way to change it?

    Hi,
    At the top of any Buddy List it will show Your Name or your Handle (Screen Name)
    This can be changed if you click on what is shown currently and it will become a drop down.
    Pic
    The "Name" is taken from the Mac User Account that is logged in and the My Card in that Address Book.
    So if this is your New Macbook Pro then Open the Address Book (Presumably there is only one Mac User account on this computer at the moment) and find the My Card (Head and Shoulders iCon)
    Make sure the details are yours.
    If the details are your brother's (Migrated info ?) then find your card and then go to the Card Menu and the option "Make this My Card".
    When Adding and @mac.com name to iChat 6.x the server for the AIM login should read api.oscar.aol.com
    The port likes to be port 443 with SSL ON  (See Sever Settings tab in iChat > Preferences > Accounts)
    Try it without SSL
    NOTE:  Despite the Add screen saying @Mac.com the account can get listed in the Accounts List as a MobileMe account.
    I would check that the original computer or the current one is not set to allow only one Login.

  • IPhone update 7.0.4 still won't allow video playlists in landscape mode

    Dear Apple, since you removed this function when released iOS 7 we, consumers of your products have been waiting to have this resolved with every update since.
    This is the third update since iOS 7 and still nothing.
    Who makes these decisions?
    Who is fully ignoring what we ask?
    We are not forced to own an iPhone with all these huge screen smart phones out there able to play videos taking full advantage of their big screen.
    But not the iPhone...
    You have two options to allow us to watch music videos in landscape mode:
    -one is bringing back the landscape mode view for music videos under the music tab
    -the other is allowing playlists to play continuously including a random option under the video tab.
    Simple.
    Disappointed so far and rethinking my 10 year loyalty since I got my first black and white iPod.

  • Ipad searched email list won't allow delete/filing etc?

    I use imap to sync with gmail on my ipad, iphone and imac. On the ipad when I do a search and create a sublist of emails that meet the search criteria I can't delete, or file the emails from the sublist!? All of the icons become light gray shadows. Using my finger to slide across to raise the red delete button doesn't work either. Confusing since I CAN do this on my iphone? Really important for efficienct filing/clearing of emails! Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Quit the mail app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If the draft email is corrupt, you can delete it from the preview pane on the left side of the mail app by swiping across the preview and that will bring up the red delete button. That way you will not have to open the draft and take a chance on freezing the mail app again.

  • TS3899 My email on my iPhone won't allow me to trash old messages -- I get "unable to move message" "message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"  I have restored to factory settings, asked AT&T about it (no help).

    my iphone won't allow me to trash old email messages -- I get the little window that says "Unable to Move Message -- The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." AT&T can't help me -- no one else has this problem, even though we're all on the same server from my company. I have restored to factory settings, but it didn't help. My email account settings are correct, the same as on my computers, and I can trash old messages on them.
    What do I do now?

    I have had a similar problem recently and followed advice here. Specifically, I used the brute force approach. As suggested by this site, I strongly urge you to backup your mailbox before trying this fix - just to be on the safe side.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Won't allow me to send emails from one email account

    Firstly my z10 won't allow me to send wails from my website email address (my website is with mr site) my last bob worked fine with no issues it was a torch 9800. Mr site say it's not them but suggest I can register with a server company, I checked this but would have to pay for the service. My sim is with BT and they say it's not there problem either and send me back to mr site, I have registered the email account on my z10, so can receive emails but when I reply they don't get sent, Also have a problem with the phone needing my email passwords every now and then, don't know why this is either? Hoping someone can help Linda

    Hello,
    Most, but not all, email services are fully compatible with BB10. You might have to configure the account manually to get everything correct...sometimes the email wizard just can't get it correct. You can find you settings via this tool:
    KB33444 How to use the Email Account Validation Tool (EAVT)
    Then use the Advanced Settings in the email configuration screens and provide all of the settings manually. Normally, that does the trick.
    However, if the email account in question has certain restrictions, then there may be no way around it. Some email accounts require your sending device to be "inside" of their network in order to send mail. Often, then can receive, but not send. The email system places a requirement on the SMTP server that does not allow it to be used from "outside", even authenticated. For those types of systems, there really is no workaround...they require the sending device to be "inside", but that cannot be done with a mobile device...catch-22.
    I've no idea if mr site is such a service...I've never heard of them before, so have no way to know. But perhaps you can ask them specifically if their SMTP server can be used from "outside" of their network, as long as you provide the proper authentication into the device email configuration (via the manual method I discussed above). If they say that their SMTP server can only be used from "inside", then you indeed are stuck. The only solution I can think of is to find another email provider that does not have such a restriction.

    This may be causal:
    KB33834 Email accounts integrated using POP are repeatedly and incorrectly marked as invalid
    I also noticed the problem on some of the earlier BB10 OS levels, but such seems to have settled down with newer versions. But, I can't tell, from what you provided, what OS level you are on.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • When I check usage in my iPad 2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  Removing all emails (sent, trash, etc) it is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When I check usage on my iPad2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  When I remove all emails (sent, trash, etc) it shows Mail is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When you do an upgrade, sometimes the pad goes back to the isp server for the unread count.  These are likely old e mails that you never opened, and are so far down the list that they dont make it to your oad.  In any event - go to the mail server via safari or on a computer and use webmail.  You can find those emails there and delete them -

  • How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

    How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

    Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

  • ITunes 11.1 and iOS 7.0.3 won't allow me to drag-and-drop videos onto my iPad?

    I finally updated my iPad 2 (16 GB; Wi-Fi) with the new iOS 7 update (7.0.3), and now it won't let me drag-and-drop items from my iTunes library anymore. It starts to, it seems.  iTunes says "Preparing to sync" and then that just disappears, and nothing else happens.
    Just the other night, I drag-and-dropped some songs onto my iPad (since my iPhone wasn't allowing me to, so I added them to my iPad instead; I'm getting a new iPod touch soon anyways, so this is only temporary), and it worked just fine.  This was before I updated my iOS 7 (iTunes was already at 11.1).
    I've restarted iTunes...many times...
    I've restarted my iPad...many, many times...
    I've restarted the PC...again...
    Checked my storage space; I have plenty for these six videos I want to add on here...
    I have had this iPad set on "manually manage" since I bought it.  It has never known any different.  I've manually synced movies from my old MacBook (backlight dead, and it's not worth the money I'd have to pay to replace it, since this is the second-to-last MacBook Apple made, so it isn't worth much anymore; and this MacBook still has Mac OSX 10.5, so iTunes 11 won't even work with it, so I haven't synced anything from it in MONTHS...), and to my last PC laptop (charging port is broken, so it won't charge even though it works fine when the battery is full; unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to ordering the new part yet).  I've only added three songs from this "new PC" that I'm borrowing.  To my knowledge, it doesn't matter how many different libraries you "sync" to a "manually managed" device, right?  Besides, I just synced music from this third library last week!! 
    What I just don't understand is why it let me the other day, and now it won't.
    And before I updated tonight, my PC didn't even recognize my iPad.  So I pretty much HAD to install that iOS 7 update that had been in my Settings since it came out.
    What is going on? I'm kind of sick of this...the only option it seems is to just completely sync to this one computer, but I'll lose pretty much everything except the few songs I put on here, and my videos.  I have pictures and apps and notes/documents that I DO NOT want to lose.
    Any suggestions?

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • Pages for iPad  sumif and sumifs conditions won't allow or

    Using newest version of numbers for iPad the program will not allow ( syntex error) a condition that shows > or&lt;with the functions sumif or sumifs. If I make the syntax error go away, the formula doesn't work in sumif,  and just will not allow in sumifs.
    The help screens within the program show syntax format that is not available in program such as ">=c:1" because the program makes a bubble out of the cells/field selected.
    Does anyone know of a workaround without having to put every possible answer that is greater than for the logic to work?

    Flash has never worked on an iOS device. You should not be getting that message if you are using the YouTube app on the iPad and you shouldn't get in in Safari either.
    Try clearing Safari, close ALL apps on your iPad, reset the device then try again.
    Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and Data.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
