Recent list not empty

Hi,
when I'm cleaning my recent list (all entries!!), I still have one entry listed when I hit 2 times the home button.
How can I clean this recent list also?
I checked the internet and all tips & tricks, like deleting the contact entry and re-adding it, did not help.
thx!
Alexander

Your iPhone call recents and the recents when you double click are two different recents. Clearing the phone recents doesn't clear the app switcher recents. See this earlier thread on the subject.

How to delete an individual file from the'Recents' list on an Android tablet? Not the original file in the documents library.

I have a samsung note 8 tablet. I used to be able to delete files from the recents list, but don't know how to do it in the newest version.

I don't think you can remove just one file from this list.

I upgraded from v2 and now newly created folders are not in recent list

I used to be able to create a new folder in v2 and see it immediately in the 'recent' list, but now it does not do that in the latest and greatest version. This is something I use all the time for filing new clients.
Thanks, Adrian

Hi Actually I never have needed support, it works perfectly for me. It's always a shame when an upgrade removes a feature you use all the time; I was genuinely surprised by that.
Anyway, I turned off my upgrade flag so I won't bother you again.
Thanks, Adrian

Hi, I have an iPhone 4 which rings people when it is locked, whether or not in my pocket. I always lock it when not using it. Can anyone help? It is calling random numbers, not the last person or anyone even recently called on my recents list. Thanks

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Recent Item list not updating CS4

Haven't found any other reports about this on the forum, but the Welcome Screen on my copy of ID CS4 6.0 isn't updating to show the most recent documents, but seems to be displaying a static list.
The files listed under Open Recent in the file menu are correctly displayed.
Before I submit a bug report, I'd be interested to know if this is an anomaly only on my system and if anyone has a workaround.
CS4 Master Collection fully updated. Win XP SP3 in 2Gb RAM.

On the application menu recent list I have a file I in the #1 position that I haven't opened since the day I installed the program. THAT's annoying.

How to distinguish numbers in "Recent" list

Is there a way to distinguish the number in my recent list? Let's say that I have John Doe's work and home number in my contacts. In my recent list, it does not say which number was used. If it had a designation behind the name, i.e., John Doe (H), John Doe (W), John Doe (C) it would help me. Can this be done in some way?
Thanks!

If it is a call that you actually received, the phone number that they called from will appear in blue in the contact screen that shows after the blue arrow. If it is a call that you missed, the phone number that they called from will appear in red on the contact screen that shows after the blue arrow. When either of those contact screens show any other phone number that you happen to have for that contact continues to appear in black in the contact screen.

Can I remove a SPECIFIC file from the "Recents" list?

     As far as I can see, Adobe Reader for Android has only the option of clearing ALL the files in the "Recents" list. It doesn't have the option of removing a specific file from the "Recents" list.
     Maybe I'm just missing the option I'm talking about or Adobe Reader doesn't really have that feature.
     Sensible answers to my question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi iSTULIN
I assume you can delete the complete list, not the single file ...
Please check the below link : http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2011/09/09/faqs-for-adobe-reader-on-android/

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

How to clear the Page '09 recents list?

On Pages '09 and Mtn Lion.
A right click on the Page icon shows a list of "recent" files, none of which exist any longer. Files that are open/closed do not get added to this list, but are added to the File>Open Recent list. Clear List clears this list, but doesn't clear the icon's right-click list.
Having a functional right-click recents menu on the Pages icon sure would boost my productivity, so any help certainly will be appeciated.
-Nick

I did this every few minutes all evening and again this morning ,,,,
"Sometimes it takes a few moments to happen, sometimes you have to open then quit the app a few times, but the list does goe away as do the thumbnail Icons from the Right-Click > Show Recents in The Dock Icon."
.... and Pages' right-click's recents menu remained filled with non-existant files. Same problem in Numbers and Keynote.
Did a Restart and the problem magically disappeared .... problem RESOLVED!
-Nick T.
note: This may have been the first reboot since installing Mountain Lion two or three days ago.

Can not empty Trash

Hi there, I have recently had a corrupt iphoto library. I have extracted the pictures and created a new library. After doing this I deleted the old library, which is in my MAC trash (not iphoto trash).
I can not empty my trash and have searched everywhere online for a resolution, these are things I have tried ....help I need to dump this large library.
Thanks
1- Right Click - empty trash
     I get The operation can’t be completed because the item “iPhoto Library .photolibrary” is in use.
          I have searched this error message and tried using terminal to see what has this in use using the following - couldn't find anything
                    xxx-iMac:~ ryanromero$ lsof | grep iPhoto Library .photolibrary
                    grep: Library: Is a directory
                    grep: .photolibrary: No such file or directory
2 - I've tried doing Secure Empty Trash in which i get the below message
        The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
3- I have tried using terminal to empty the trash using the following command - It acts like it will delete it but the trash is still there.
     Ryan-Romeros-iMac:~ ryanromero$ sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
     Password:
4- I have also tried this which said it would delete the file but doesn't in terminal

First, never try to empty the Trash in the shell. It's dangerous and unnecessary, and as you've discovered, it doesn't always work.
It's possible that the external drive is malfunctioning, but before you draw that conclusion, quit iPhoto and try again to empty the Trash.

Project Site's Tasks List not sync

Hello,
It seems I am having an issue with Project Site's Tasks List as it doesn't sync with the Project Plan/Schedule in Project Online.
In all of the instances, the setting in PWA Settings/Connected SharePoint Sites: "Sync Enterprise Projects tasks to Tasks List" is always checked.
The thing is that it used to work fine: whenever I published a new project, whether it was "Automatically create a site on first publish" or "Allow users to choose", the Tasks Lists were successfully synced.
Recently I have removed/deleted the existing connected project site and created a new one based on default Project Site templates, meaning the synchronizable lists (Risks, Issues, Tasks etc.) must remain. Now the sync problem occurred for both newly published
projects and existing projects. The Project Site's Tasks List appeared empty although it was locked for edit in PWA. I though the sync would have run overnight, but it didn't.
Does anyone have any clues about this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Linh

Linh,
What is the task list you see under the column Server Settings >> Connected SharePoint Sites,
under the columns Tasks List, when you use the default template?
More over, is this is a new project or an old project? I think there is an issue if yo turn off and turn
the sync option again for existing projects. May be it applies to projects that you delete and recreate project site for?
Cheers,

Phone won't show contact name in recents list

Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work.

you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros. IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code 7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work. Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format

TextEdit "Open Recent" list contains a folder I can't open

In TextEdit I went from File > Open Recent > … and noticed in that list a folder icon, titled: ".de0146.000"!
Puzzled, I tried to open it, and naturally got an error message saying that TextEdit cannot open a file in the "Folder" format. So I tried using Spotlight to find where it is, but spotlight cannot find it.
What is this thing?
How did it get into my "Recent" list?
Is it anything suspicious?

Thanks for your help and patience WZZZ. I've been away.
1.) I got EasyFind. I'm usually scared of new downloaded software so that's been a useful "adventure" for me.
2.) EasyFind showed it as located in " ./Desktop/RADIO "— a folder in which I file downloaded audio files from Radio Podcasts etc.
But when I selected Reveal in Finder I could not find it in that "RADIO" file, so I presume it was an invisible Folder after all. Its size was simply shown in EF as "--", presumably zero.
I could not copy the line in EF so I hope this adequately answers your question.
3.) I did destroy it from EasyFind as you suggested.
So this whole thing has been a valuable learning curve for me throughout, and as it has been my first foray into using an internet Forum ever, you have been great in boosting my confidence in that area too.
A very special thanks to you.

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty value for Mobile phone property

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty Mobile phone for some users although thoses users have Mobile Phone values in the User Proifles. This happens only for some users. For some users it shows Mobile phone for
some days and after some days it dess not show Mobile Phone though Mobile Phone entries are in the User Profiles for those users.
Appreciate any help to fix this.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Narayana,
According to your description, my understanding is that the person or group column retrieved an empty value for Mobile phone in SharePoint 2010.
Please go to the hidden User Information List using
http://<SiteCollectionUrl>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx , check the value of Mobile phone.
Please go to CA->Monitoring->Review job definitions, scroll to User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
and
User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization, make sure they work well.
In addition, please take a look at :

I hope this helps.
