My texts aren't working-can't delete old ones, sometimes can open new ones (mostly can't even see them), and unable to open or respond to new conversations

I have an Iphone 4s with a carrier who doesn't have good signal where I like, and I'm switching over to another carrier this week. My Iphone has been having trouble receiving or sending texts for awhile because of the service provider, but I think this current problem is Apple. I had this issue when I first bought the phone less than a year ago, and it lessened (almost going away completely) for several months after exchanging it for a new phone.
New messages will still make an alert, but most of the time, I can't see who it's from or what it says-the message screen comes up blank, sometimes with the lines that are normally between texts but still blank. If I can see who it's from, sometimes I can click the new text and it will take me to the "compose new message" screen instead of to the conversation. My new texts will disappear for hours or days at a time and then magically reappear, and I haven't been able to determine a pattern. I don't believe it is from signal strength or Wi-FI issues, because sometimes texts and imessage work perfectly when the phone says I have bad signal and there is no available wi-fi, other times not going through when I have full signal strength and connected to full speed wi-fi.
Only texts from before the update remain on my phone, even after deleting the same conversations multiple times. I can't read or respond to my new messages.
Any advice/fixes would be welcome!
Thanks!

Are you still dealing with this?
On number 1, do you mean backup rather than sync?
I have had times where backup completed but did not backup some databases. Running backup again was the solution. If this is what is happening, reboot the BlackBerry and reboot the computer and try again. If backup actually fails to complete and throws an error, what is the error?
2. The reboot may resolve the text issue. If not, do a soft reset and try again. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02141

HT4847 How can I delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can just backup my latest things?

How can i delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can jsut backup what is on my device now, and not from a year ago

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All backups made on iCloud overwrite the old one, so you have only the latest backup with your most recent files. If you have a backup of an old device, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the backup and delete that backup

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can't delete old developer folder: dashcode.app and xcode.app running

I installed XCode 4.3.3 and accepted when it offered to delete the old version, XCode 4.2.1 I think.
The Developer folder was moved to trash but unfortunately I had the file compare tool runing at the time and that's perhaps why things have become messed up.
I shut down the file compare tool, but still when I tried to empty trash it reported that DashboardCleint.spp and xcode.app are running.
I can't find any way of stopping them, or even seeing them listed as running applications anywhere.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

OK, yes this worked but I thought in a unix based system like MacOS there would be an way without a restart.
Need to start getting into unix again.
Cheers.

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

I have a similar problem. The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
I have a problem with both of these solutions! The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either. But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

How can I delete old movies that I already purchased, which are saved in my account? Actually I don't want them to be viewed by others who use same account, so is there any solution to delete them? Please advise. Thank you

Can I delete old downloads of FireFox to economise on memory ?

I have limited memory. Can I delete old downloads?

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Can't delete old pictures

Is anyone have the same problem: I used iPhoto since a while.
I upgrade to iPhoto 09 last month.
Today, I am organizing my pics and I am unable to delete pictures !
I can delete fresh pictures (I mean picture I just uploade from my camera)
I can't delete old picture from 2-3 month...?
I delete and the spinning icon (for waiting) kepps on turning and the iPhoto freeze...
This problem occurs when I try to delete one our a group of picture.
I changed nothing in the parameters.
I haven't lock any file.

I am having the same problem, having recently switched from 08 to 09. I can't delete photos as the machine hangs up and shows me the dreaded beach ball and (not responding) message - I have tried different ways to delete and different numbers of photos, hoping one my be the source of my problem. I have rebuilt my libraries - all things that I see being recommended on this site.
It has hung up on me numerous times while trying to perform other tasks as well, such as batch changes or changes to dates and times, cut and pasting between events and related type tasks. Apple is getting a ton of messages from Force Quit. Any other suggestions? The only thing I haven't done is try to re-install. Getting pretty frustrating.
