Messages does NOT delete images when requested

Scenario:
1. Open a conversation in Messages on OS X Yosemite.
2. Click "Details" in the top-right corner. Notice that a popup appears with pictures/images that have been sent as part of the conversation.
3. Select one or more of those image thumbnails.
4. Right-click and choose "Delete"
5. Confirm that you want to delete the attachments.
Now wait. Are the attachments deleted? Not for me. After 5 attempts and 24 hours, the attachments are not deleted. Why? Perhaps Apple should rename "Delete" to "Make a vague effort to delete and then give up".
Numerous tests confirm that "Delete" images in Messages basically does nothing at all .. NOTHING.
Think this is a joke? I got sent a bunch of unpleasant images and deleted them in Messages. Did they delete? Nope! Why not? Why is there a "Delete" option in Messages that does nothing?
This is disgraceful.

    Tell your friends to leave your computer alone. That's not the proper way to turn off your MBP. And no, that message cannot be turned off. It is a safety feature.

  • Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
    Sometimes the images work like right now.
    2. This is the time when the images do not work.

    Hi all the real problem was this...
    The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit  pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

  • Struts Portlet does not show images when it is accessed outside the domain

    Hi all,
    I am using Oracle 10.1.2. I have created a Struts portlet. When I view the struts portlet from my office domain (University domain) it works well and shows the images properly. However, if I try to access the same page containing the struts portlet from some other domain (my home), I cannot see the images and CSS associated with the page. This might be a firewall issue. Is there any way out?
    Best regards,
    Omer

    I fixed the problem.  (YAY!)
    It was the way I embedded the files -- the Dreamweaver default does not work properly so I used the embed from this generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html#alternativeContentHelp which now lets my navbar and swfobjects load properly.  I also made sure that my slideshow (loader.swf) was set with wmode = opaque while the navbar is set to wmode = transparent.  The div for the nav bar has z-index set to 5 while the div for the slideshow has z-index set to 1.  Both have absolute positioning.  I hope this helps anyone in the future that has trouble with overlaying flash (.swf) files.
    Thanks for your reply and trying to help me solve this issue!

  • Messaging does not accept photos when sent to me.

    The first step is to determine if the files should be QT compatible. "Videos" come in many different audio, video, and file container formats. Which are these?

  • Tiger's Preview application does not antialias images when zooming

    On windows when you double click an image and zoom in it uses standard bicubic interpolation to give the magnified image a natural look.
    In OS X, when images are magnified in Preview the pixels are magnified 1:1 which gives a horrible pixellated look. On some images clicking "actual size" gives a non 100% scale rendition too.
    Is there any hack or trick to let preview magnify images normally or better?
    It's weird, you'd think some uat tester would have noticed the pixellated zoom and just changed the magnification algorithm.

    In ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist, there is an entry called
    Root->Preview->PVImageHiResDrawingInZoomInMode
    which is set to zero by default. Change it to 1, save and restart finder. This should enable interpolation. It seems to work OK but no promises - they must have turned it off for a reason (it's actually pretty rubbish compared to the windows one and for some reason not as good as the one used in slideshow mode?!).

  • Report does not render image when using DoCmd.OutputTo to PDF

    Hello All.... and Happy new year !!!
    I have a form that has an embedded report and a series of cmd buttons to print the report or export it to file and saves it.
    In the report I have an Image object (a logo) that is in the header.
    When I print the report to a printer or a PDF printer the image is present.
    When I use DoCmd.OutputTo the report is properly exported to PDF and saved but the image is not present.
    I've tried playing with the ExportQuality, the "fit to page", etc... but nothing seems to get it working.
    here is the vba I use 
    'Open the report as hidden to filter the data
    DoCmd.OpenReport reportToExport, acViewPreview, , filterReportBy, acHidden
    'if we show the report
    If (booSeeFile) Then
    'export to pdf to save and autostart
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath, vbYes
    Else
    'export to pdf to save
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath
    End If
    Any help would be great !

    given that you've gone 12 hours with no reply; I generally don't have any problem with the logo going from the Report object to the PDF export.  When a report is opened on screen - right click - and one of the choices is 'Export To' and one of those
    choices is 'PDF or XPS' - - - just try that as a sanity check....
    there are 2 kinds of image controls - I can't remember off hand their formal name but one has the image embedded permanently inside the report object and so this one should go to the PDF.....the other type is a file link to the image for which the advantage
    is that image can be dynamically changed on the fly.  This second type probably will not appear in an export as the file link is probably broken....
    hope this helps a little......
     

  • ITunes for Windows does not delete podcasts when told to.

    I have 30 podcasts. When I try to delete a selected podcast using either the delete key or right-click menu, I then tell iTunes to "move to recycle bin". However, many times the file remains. I just found >1GB of left over podcasts that did not show up in iTunes but are in the "My Music\iTunes\podcast.." directories.
    is this a known bug or am I missing something?
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    Shane

    In order to delete the podcast, start playing another track first. Sounds like the same bug that affects TV shows. The currently selected show will not go to the recycle bin, though it will disappear from the iTunes library. It's as if iTunes tries to move the file to the RB but Windows says, "No, that file is in use."
    I discovered this bug after my laptop hard drive ran out of room because none of the TiVo2Go shows I'd been watching for weeks had truly been deleted by iTunes when I asked it to. All the files remained on the hard drive.

  • Error message when uploading: my server does not support byte-range requests

    Hi I am trying to get a pocast up on itunes - I am first just sending a test mp3 - ebenezer.bruceclark.eu/podcast.xml. I have validated the xml keeping it to a minimum and constantly get the message saying my server does not support byte-range requests. Once I got some meassage about "White spaces are required between publicId and systemId". It all seems so random I am using Drupal 7 cms with views_rss module + itunes elements. It's been my 3rd night into the early morning and I need to sort this out for my client.
    Thanks to anyone who can help
    Bruce

    Your feed does not contain an 'enclosure tag' which would contain the URL of your mp3 file, so at the moment it basically has no content and would be of no use to iTunes. You may find it helpful to read this page which gives you basic information on making a podcast:
    http://rfwilmut.net/pc
    Note that when you do get it working and submitting, the iTunes Store won't accept a podcast which is merely a technical test: they need to see at least one proper episode so that they can check that your podcast does not contain unsuitable material.

  • When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

    I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
    This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
    For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
    Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I would point out that I did say...
    Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
    The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
    The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
    The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
    Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
    Anyhow
    To Check the Contacts List open the app.
    Go to the Preferences.
    Go to the Accounts section.
    This should list at least two "accounts
    One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
    In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
    If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

  • When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • An infopackage does not delete privious requests though its set to

    Hi experts.
    An infopackage is set to delete repeating requests, but it does not work when it in a process chain. If i run infopackage itself it does, but in chain it does not delete requsts. Why?
    Regards Tigr_Z

    Hi,
    I think that If you want to use this option while loading the data through process chains, you would need to Add a Process Variant u201CDelete Overlapping Request From InfoCubeu201D to the process chain, position of this variant will be after the data load (Execute InfoPackage).
