Messages using memory even though deleted

In my settings, under usage, it states that there are 10 gbs being used.... although I deleted every single text and imessage from the application. I would like to reduce the memory on my phone and figure out what these 10  gbs are?!
iphone 5
ios 7.0.2
32 gb

Hello MRG25,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds lik eyou have gone into the Messages app and deleted everything from it, but when you look in Settings > Usage your Messages is still taking up about 10 GB.
I have a couple recommendations for you here. First, if you have not already, restart your phone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, I would next backup your phone to iTunes, and then restore it from your backup. This article will help you do that:

All the best,

  • ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off.

    ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off. 
    Upon computer boot up, Task Manager shows it is using 45mb, and after researching this topic using IE, 10 minutes later it now shows it is using 74 mg, although it did go down to 33 mg a few minutes later, then back up to 51 mg a few minutes after that. 
    Is there a way to keep it from using so much memory when the printer is turned off?. 
    I am running Windows 7 on a Samsung Series 7 laptop and my printer is an HP 8600 All-in-one.  I do use ePrintCenter occasionally, and also have a MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion), and iPhone 4 (running the latest IOSupdate) and all devices connect to the printer wirelessly. 
    Please let me know if there is more info that you require.  Thank you in advance!

    The best thing to do is uninstall iTunes and install turn to him, but another look from thedownload page do not you reinstall the exe you have already installed ahy maybe youriTunes installer is in bug

  • Unable to connect mac OSX 10.4.11 to wireless network (virgin media) even though iPad, iPhone and laptop ok.  Get message 'password incorrect' even though it works with other devices.  Keep getting message connect to BT unrestricted access.

    Keep getting 'do I want to connect to BT unrestricted network' which I have never used before.  I can get my ISP details input but get message 'incorrect password' even though it works with 3 other devices. My network provider, Virgin Media, sent an engineer but he couldn't solve the problem - said network was all ok so problem must be with my iMac (OSX 10.4.11).  When I try to use internet I get BTWiFi is current wireless network - I've never used this! I've tried to change this and virgin media details are accepted, it's just the password stage that prevents me from connecting. I am not very knowledgeable with computers so I really need a step by step guide to solve this problem.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Excuse me barging in on the thread, but I have a lot of experience with Telus, and roaming with my BlackBerry (currently a Z10).  In short, you've been fed some outdated info by the Telus rep. Telus has become very Android-centric, and it seems like a good number of Telus CSR's are still reading from a Legacy BlackBerry trouble-shooting guide.
    My Z10 is unlocked, and I periodically use an AT&T sim when traveling in the US.  I have never had to change an email setting to get full email function -- including the SMTP settings.  To put it simply, your device first connects to a network using credentials provided.  At most hotels, for instance, your device will scan for and pick up a WiFi network.  The hotel will tell you the WiFi network name and give you a password to use.  You simply enter the password when prompted, then you may have to agree to certain conditions.  That's it.
    Your email settings are just that.  Using whichever network to which you are connected, the user name and password give you access.  The settings coincide with the email provider's server settings.  These don't typically change with the location from which you are connecting.
    I'd suggest you take a look at this very helpful email settings tool provided by BlackBerry, if you are having difficulty:  http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/03/email-account-validation-tool/
    It helps you determine the possible settings for connecting to your email provider.  Different providers offer different connection options, sometimes more than one.  Opinions vary, but my preference in descending order is:  ActiveSync, IMAP, then POP if required.  ActiveSync (aka EAS) and IMAP will offer 2-way sync.
    Take a look at the tool and pop a message back here if you have any questions.  Good luck. ~ecm

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Itunes says i dont have enough memory, even though i do

    I deleted tonns of music off my iTunes, and when I decided to sync my iPhone, it told me I didn't have enough memory - even though I was syncing less stuff than what was already on the device. I originally had about 1000 photos synced to my iphone from my laptop, which I removed. I have around 2000 pictures on my iphone, but it's telling me Im syncing 3000. I've deleted about all the photos I can bare to and it's still telling me I need an extra 4GB. When I'm sinking and I look at the bar telling me what is taking up memory, it says I have 14GB free - but yet I'm still getting an error saying it can't sync because I need 4GB of memory freed up. Can anyone help me?

    What happened prior to this?  I suspect some important details are being left out.

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

    But it used to be fine before as I use hotspot through usb,so it used to charge at the same time but for past few days its not been charging at all and it charges really slow like it would only charge 40 percent in 5 hours or so.

    My iPad has been hacked I cannot get into hotmail through mail also I get the apple message ,incorrect password even though this is correct what can I do

    From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

  • When following your instructions on setting a blank new tab, I get and error message "invalid url", even though the sting entered in the config is as you state.

    I would like a blank new tab to open, but have followed the help guidance to modify the about:config.
    However, for all strings shown, I get a consistent error message "invalid url", even though the string has been copied correctly.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

    You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
    Step 1
    In the Applications folder, there should be an item named "Genieo". Select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
    There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
    This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
    Step 2
    Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you couldn't complete Step 1, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
    Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Step 3
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

  • Ipad opening old versions even though deleted - can't view new versions!

    I am designing and creating iBooks and need to show them to my editor to before they are finished - I export them, upload to drop box and she downloads them onto her iPad 3 Version 6.0.
    When I make the necessary changes, i duplicate the file, rename it, and re upload to dropbox. ie 'Joe Blogs 2', that way I have many versions to refer back to if necessary, and i label each one on the cover to save confusion.
    Since the new update for iBooks Author we have had some pretty big problems, I have edited, exported and uploaded the books as usual, my Editor has downloaded them onto her ipad, but every time we tap on the new title to open the book 'Joe Blogs 2' it opens an old version 'Joe Blogs 1', even if the old one is deleted from the ipad, also, even if we upload a completely different book it still opens 'Joe Blogs 1' I have changed the titles, and file names and it has made no difference.  we are both using iBook latest update.
    NOTE: All books were created from an original template created in iBooks Author version 1, from the 'Basic' template. I have been using this template because I don't know how to recreate it - the are no chapters it starts with 1 page then has sections so that it ends up with a table of contents which looks like this, which means that the 'chapter' (section) title can be tapped and go straight to the section, which is something I would lose if I started the books from scratch (which I obviously don't want to do)

    Thank you for replying, and for the tips on templates, that makes a lot of sense - i have now created a template from the original book, and saved it as a template (I cannot make the template from scratch as I do not know how, as I explained, to make a contens page that functions like the one in the picture)
    Unfortunately, this has not solved the other problem
    Just to check we are on the same page (no pun intended) what I have been doing is this;
    • To start a new book: opening 'contents page', a template i have created (and saved as a template, so I get it from the welcome screen on IBA 2, as opposed to opening an existing file and duplicating it.) use that template to create a new IBA file, ie 'Maslen and Mehra 1' which I save, export as 'version 1' when prompted on IBA v2. then I add this to drop box.
    after my editor has downloaded and seen it, I make changes, then duplicate and save as ''Maslen and Mehra 2' to show to her again. then I make make changes, duplicate, save, make changes, duplicate, save... up until 'Maslen and Mehra Final Proof (9)'  
    since the new IBA update every time she tries to open a new file, the last one I sent her before the update opens (which is really old now as we have made a lot of changes, on our current book we are on version11 but version 3 opens!. Thinking that my template might be the problem I did the following:
    • started from scratch: chose an bulit-in IBA template, put a 'A' on the cover, saved it as 'A', exported it, added it to drop box. my editor downloaded and opened it fine.
    • changed the 'A' to a 'B' on the front cover (did not duplicate the file)  exported it, I changed it to 'version 2' when prompted, saved the .Ibooks file as 'B' and uploaded it to drop box. My editor dowloaded it fine, and it appears in the library but When my editor opens it 'A' opens instead. 
    • Started again (with a completely different built in IBA template) repeated the process, new book 'A' again worked fine, but this did not change to 'version 2'. same problem. new book 'B' opened as new book 'A' again.
    • Started again (again with a completely different built in IBA template) this time duplicated 'A', named it 'C', saved, exported 'C' and 'A' still opened even though 'A' is a different file!
    • tried changing the meta-data file title, repeated the process, made no difference.
    • tried different drop box account, didn't make a difference
    • she tried restoring her ipad, still made no difference
    • my editor cannot view IBA files (only .ibooks) so we cannot get around it that way...
    so my current issues:
    • My editor and I need to find a way we I can create a book, send her a copy and make changes, and send her a new copy, whether by duplicating it or even by re-exporting the original document (and saving a copy as a spare) - but neither currently work - why is this so difficult? this was not a problem before the update, she could have multiple books with similar filenames, all orginating from the same file. (which I now know is not the correct way, but even using templates has not made a difference)
    • regarding templates: have I missed somewhere that you can make a template from scratch? I thought the closest you could get was to choose an existing template, delete everything then 'add section/chapter' if I go to 'New' in ibooks author then it still just takes me to the template page so I have no choice but to choose one of the IBA templates or one of the ones I have created myself, given the choice I would always rather start from scratch and a blank page anyway! :-)
    Thankyou again

  • Computer is low on memory even though I have 100GB available

    Trying to use my programs like Adobe Bridge keeps crashing and saying I'm low on memory even tough I have 90-100GB of free space. All other programs are closed and I tried clearing the memory in the system terminal program. Any ideas on what's going on!? - Also I have added lots of memory maxing the slots out at 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    The Adobe error is spurious since you obviously have an abundant amount of memory available.
    It is possible that Adobe is unable to write to its cache file, a location on your Mac for Adobe to store data such as thumbnail and preview images, and Adobe Bridge is erroneously reporting that inability as insufficient memory.
    You should really solicit Adobe's help for this problem, but if you are willing to continue pursuing it here consider the following:
    Open Disk Utility - it's in your Mac's Utilities folder. In the column on the left, locate your Mac's startup volume. It is an icon located below the uppermost icon and is usually named "Macintosh HD". Select it and click the Repair Disk Permissions button. It will take a few moments to complete. Many "Permissions differ... " and "Repaired... " messages will appear, perhaps hundreds of them. They are not important, but if any errors appear please describe them.
    When Disk Utility finishes with the message Permissions repair complete, quit Disk Utility and determine if Adobe Bridge continues to report the low memory condition.
