I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50. How do I stop this from happening.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section. How can I stop this?

Thanks for responding.
I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

Is this for iCloud?

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

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 - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open 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.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

I accidentaly deleted a purchased tv show from the cloud how can i get it back in the cloud

After updating to The latest Itunes I had purchased Thundercats 2011 series season 1 in HD and downloaded it I did not realize I had 720p selected and downloaded in 720p instead of 1080p like I wanted so knowing it was in the cloud I deleted the series to redownload from the cloud. What I did not realize is When I deleted the series I deleted it from the cloud. I have asked support for help as to how I can get the series back in the cloud however all they have done is reactivate the download for me but doing so does not return it to the cloud back up. Is there any way apple can help reset this since it was an error due to the new layout which caused this and was not intentionally deleted from the cloud?

Video in the new iOS is under the application Videos. You should be able to find things there.

HT5621 i recently had to change my apple id, however my old one still pops up and is the one that comes up undre my iCloud. how can i get rid of this?

a while back my email was hacked and i could no longer remember the password for my apple id because i had changed it so many times. i ended up making a new apple id and changed everything i could over to that one, however, my iCloud information is still set to my old id and i am unable to change that and i get random pop ups while using my phone that ask for the password to the old id. i called support and i was told they would charge me $120 to help me out with this, but i think it is outrageous to pay that amount when the malfunction is an issue with apple, not me. is there anyone to reset my iCloud configurations and id because that is truly all i think i need to do, other than find a way to delete the old ID from my phone completely.

Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime. ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID. You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

NCH toolbar got installed on Firefox It do not show on add-remove; how can I get rid of this?

seems to have been asked and answered but the answer has been removed?

'''Success, I think,''' I finally got rid of the NCH search. Find the Manage Search Engine List. Try the drop down arrow on the left of the search box and go to Manage Search Engines at the bottom. Highlight the offending search engine and click remove, then restart Firefox. After that experience, I just wanted everything NCH out of my computer.

Ive changed my account email and password on the pc but my old email is still showing on iphone and i can,t get into app store

You can try contacting Apple here.

You do know tht if you created a new Apple ID - that is different than changing the Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. If the old ID is popping up, it seems like that ID is rid to the apps indicating that you created a new ID. Of course, I could be wrong or misunderstanding what you're saying as well.
If you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new ID, that should be all that you need to do, if you changed the ID. If you created a new ID, that will not work.

I had an Apple ID under an old email address that I have now changed, but the old address still shows up in my iCloud account since I installed Yosemite. How do I get rid of that old account altogether?

You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
Frustrated!!!

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

Hello RickJFalcon,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to delete emails from Mail. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iCloud: Reduce email storage space
Delete messages, which moves them to the Trash, by doing any of the following:
Delete a message that’s open: Tap .
Delete a message without opening it: Swipe from the right to left over the message title in the message list, then tap Trash.
Delete multiple messages: While viewing the message list, tap Edit.
To permanently erase all messages in the Trash and free up iCloud storage space, tap Trash in the list of iCloud mailboxes, tap Edit, then tap Delete All.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!
