Is there a way to mass/multi delete photos in all messages without deleteing the message

i have iOS 7, iPhone 4s and Mavericks.
i know i can tap and hold on the photo and the "more" option appears, then flip through the conversation and select individual messages to delete within that conversaion. but i have so many ongoing texts that i dont want to delete, and most have many photos within the message that go months back that i dont need. i dont want to delete the entire conversation but i dont need the photos embedded in the message. im tired of deleting  photos from the message as soon as i read or sent a photo text. is there an option in the phone or an app that will mass delete embedded photos within all texts. either iphone or mac app would work... or a script... anything! i would even be happy with selecting all phones to delete across all messages the way the camera roll allows you to delete. its seems like an obvious option.
thanks

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

  • When you connect ipod nano to itunes is there a way to stop it deleteing the albums on it if they are not on my laptop anymore

    when you connect ipod nano to itunes is there a way to stop it deleteing the albums on it if they are not on my laptop anymore

    Yes, do not set it to automatic sync, and if these albums are purchases in iTunes, then you need to transfer them to your iTunes library. If you attempt to sync the device the music sync is one way, only from the library to the device. If this is music you did not purchase, but is on the iPod, you will need to get some 3rd party software to extract it from the iPod to put in the library. Touchcopy from Wide Angle Software is one choice. I have used it before and it does a lot more than music, and it works on both the Windows and Mac platforms.

    There is no way that I know of to install iChat because it is not supported in ML. You may want to read a couple of these Threads

    You are telling us you read and tried the normal methods?
    Boot Camp or Taskbar. Option on restart. "x" on startup. And none of those work.

  • When I save photos or videos from my iPhone 4S to my PC they are all sideways.  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?  All are taking with the phone in portrait mode.

    Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

  • In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?

    In illustrator, is there a way to reduce anchors points in a segment path without altering the path?
    Is there a better and more efficient way to reduce anchors points than using the pen-minus tool?
    Thanks.

    That's what the Simplify command is for. It tries to reduce the number of segments while you judge the results and adjust the parameters accordingly.
    Of course, if any given curve were possible with just two anchors, then all paths could have just two anchors. So obviously, fewer segments is not always possible.
    As with many other things, though, you need to realize this: Automatic functions have no human discernment whatsoever. That's just as true in the matter of optimizing paths as it is in auto-tracing. The program routine which tries to figure out which anchors can go and which anchors must stay has absolutely no idea of what the path is actually a drawing of. Only you know that. So the bottom line remains the same: Optimizing paths correctly should be done with deliberate discernment, not just left up to dumb automated routines.
    Illustrators draw paths deliberately--one anchor at a time--for good reason.

  • Hi , i bought an iphone offline and the person whom i bought it from did not sign out of their icloud/apple id account and it wont let ne delete it w/o answering security questions or having the password is there a way i can possibly delete the account?

    i bought this phone three months ago off of craigslist and annoying little messages keep popping up asking for his apple id and when i go to delete the account it also requires a password i have contacted the guy multiple time about the situation and he says he cant seem to remember the password the phone works really well so it wasn't that much of a rip off i just have this minor issue with it

    It will stop being a minor issue if you have to restore the phone for any reason. No, there is no way to sign out of the account without the password.

  • Is there a way to flush my hard drive of all info but keep the OS?

    Hey Apple Forums, I'm new here so pardon any mistakes that I may make along the way.
    So I've got a very old iMac PowerPC G4 that I've been wanting to get rid of for a while. It's got 384 MB of RAM and a 700Mhz Processor, along with what I believe is a 50Gb Hard Drive (I haven't found a way to check for sure). It's running Mac OS X 10.2.8. So here's my question. Is there a way to totally flush the hard drive (or reformat it) to get rid of any sensitive data, but then be able to install or keep the OS files and get it running again? I'm not sure if it even came with an installation disk, but by now it's long gone. Feel free to ask me any questions if you need to know more or give me any tips or advise.
    Thanks,
    Lopesian

    All Macs are supposed to come with installation discs from Apple, until July 20, 2011.  Sadly finding the original discs for that Mac is going to prove a bit of a chore.  You can do much of what you want by simply creating a new user account through Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts, and deleting the old account.  I do highly recommend backing up your old data elsewhere.   See my backup FAQ*:

  • HT2513 Is there any way to sync between laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad without using the iCloud?

    I want to sync my iCal between all my Apple products but this doesn't seem to be possible?
    It all used to sync with MobileMe, but I didn't upgrade, so it stopped syncing.
    If I use a 3-rd party calendar, say Google Calendars, in my iCal would that work?
    From what I can tell, I can sync from one machine to my iPhone via iTunes, but that's all...
    Thanks, Heather

    Because apps on iOS devices are isolated from one another ("sandboxed") such an app would not be possible.
    I recommend "SelfControl". It takes a little while to learn to use but it works on any platform.

  • Is there a way to export a final cut pro 10 project without updating the software to 10.1

    I need help exporting a project i created on final cut pro 10, but it keeps saying i need to update to 10.1. To update the software, i need 4GB but my mac book pro only has 2GB

    Well it's probably time to do some house/computer cleaning.
    You need to clear space and maybe get a large fast external drive for media storage.
    Try turning off auto updating in System Preferenses>Software Update.

  • Is there a way to mass delete any song with an exclamtion point next to it?

    All of the sudden after resetting the sync history in iTunes (while trying to troubleshoot the fact that the upgraded OS4 was only syncing about 25% of my total music library), all of the sudden all of the tracks that it didn't sync (the other 75%) all have exclamation points next to them in iTunes, which for each song indicates "The song can not be used because the original file cannot be found".
    Therefore, is there a way to mass delete all of these song names in iTunes? (then I can copy and paste the actual files into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and the path to the file should work? (THEORETICALLY OF COURSE)... and... What would cause such a random error? (So frustrating because iTunes can locate where the file is when I click the button "yes" to the question "Would you like to locate it?", but at the me time two seconds earlier it's telling me "The original file cannot be found". ????????????????????????????????????????????????
    Truly RIDICULOUS apple. It's like DUDE, ***? Is this some kind of strange gliche with the new piece of crap OS4 (which I don't even need because I didn't get one of the "four" iPhone 4's that were released)?

    Therefore, is there a way to mass delete all of these song names in iTunes?
    Yes, you can simply highlight all the songs with the exclamation point at once and then RIGHT CLICK and choose DELETE. This will remove them from the iTunes list all at once.
    (then I can copy and paste the actual files into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and the path to the file should work? (THEORETICALLY OF COURSE)
    Yes
    What would cause such a random error?
    Either the patch was disconnected somehow during the upgrade OR user changed the music's location (which in this case you did not).

  • Is there any way to mass delete duplicated files?

    I just transferred all of my brother's music from his full laptop onto my desktop.
    Unfortunately, since his girlfriend had her own library, and since none of us were careful to keep track of where the files were kept, I now have several hundred songs that have been duplicated twice or even three or four times on a single library.
    Is there any way to mass delete all the duplicated songs, so I only have one of each track?

    Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts there's a script in there for dealing with duplicates: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

  • Is there a way to mass export/save the reports from database to server

    Hi Everyone,
    Hope all is well,
    We use Discoverer to report off of an ODS. We are moving from ODS 3.1 to ODS 8.
    Is there a way to mass download the reports into ODS 8.
    My idea at this time, would be to individually save as the query to a folder on server.
    Then open another Discoverer instance, sign to ODS 8, open the query from server and do save as to database.
    This would take time ....
    Please advise with your thoughts and ideas, tx, sandra
