Remove old autocomplete entries in Messages (iOS 6)

I have a friend who changed her phone number recently. When I start to send her a text/iMessage, her old number still shows up in the autocomplete list when I start typing her name, even though I've removed it from her contact in the Contacts app. How can I get rid of the old entry?
Note this is in the iPhone messages app (the behavior does not duplicate on the iPad messages app, nor in Mail...just in Messages on the iPhone).
My iPhone is a 4S running iOS 6.0.2.

one more important information here
Only those messages are not being displayed which you ONLY received. That means any concerstaion between you & your friends are readable after upgrading to iOS 6. But if you just received any message & did not reply , those messages you are not able to view after upgrading to iOS 6.

Bug:Java install should remove old uninstall entries when updating in-place

Assume I have installed an (old) version of Java (under 64bit Win7)..
Now I download a newer/newest version of Java JDK and start installation process.
When prompted I tell the procedure to install JAva JDK in the SAME directory as the previous version.
So the old version does NOT exist any more afterwards.
Everything works fine except the fact that afterwards there is still the uninstall entry of the old version alive.
Java installation procedure should automatically remove these old uninstall entries.
I guess Oracle Java development team thinks users will install new Java versions always in different directories (which is not a must).
I think this is a bug or at least a feature request.
Where can I officially tell oracle to fix it?
Is there an official bug/feature request form?
Thx

Want to remove some AutoComplete entries in Numbers

I have the latest version of Numbers running on Yosemite 10.10.2. I would like certain autocomplete entries to vanish. Other posts say that you have to fix the cell with the entry, but it seems that as soon as you exit the cell, it is retained forever.
Seems like there should be a way.

Hi pws,
Menu > Numbers > Preferences > General > Editing:
Turn off 'Show suggestions when editing table cells'.
I find Autocomplete is annoying (and error-prone) when entering data. I would rather make my own data entries .
Regards,
Ian.

Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
*SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency

WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>

IOS upgrade does it again. It trashes my old calendar entries

I have come to rely on the feature in the iOS upgrade that it will trash my old calendar entries. Upgrading to iOS 4 was no exception. It changed start and end times, repeat information, adds entries,combined multiple repeating entries into 1 even though they had different start and end dates and information in the entry and does a whole lot of other nifty stuff. I have reported this with every upgrade and now I realize that Apple does not care what happens to someone's calendar. This IPhone is being synch'd with a Mac so its an apples to apples (sorry for the pun) process.
I have a whole lot of issues with the calendar program on the IPhone. This is the one of the most annoying. The other is if you have parents in the 80's and you set birthdays. They do not show up on your IPhone. They show fine on the Mac but I guess the IPhone does not think your parent's birthday's are important enough to display. I am slowly getting to the point of regretting that I converted to the IPhone. For all of the bells and whistles, when a device cannot do the simplest tasks it becomes an annoyance. Oh yes this is a 3G and not a new phone. I do not intend to spend money until I see that Apple starts to take their customers seriously. They are slowly becoming Microsoft and that is the attitude that I thought I was getting away from.

You have options in the Organizer Tab for Calendar by clicking on Configure. From there, there you can choose to sync ALL calendar entries. This should be a resolution. Additionally, there are options to further control what syncs by clicking on the advanced button.
If you want to control how much calendar data remains on your mobile consider...
I have had problems with Blackberry's handling of appts in the past where - when an appt is deemed to be removed from the mobile device - it removed it also from Outlook! This should NEVER be - but WAS. As a result it is a better 'policy' to simply have your BB sync ALL appts and control how much will remain on your phone by using Outlook's archiving feature. When the calendar items do move to your archive, then you will see appts to be deleted from your phone but they will just be "older" appts according to what you have setup.
And regardless - before you do any new sync or major changes that may react unexpectedly...
Make a backup of your Outlook file just in case!!
Hope this helps.

Using Mail under iOS 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old adreesses?

Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?

If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

HT3529 how to delete text message ios 7

Deleating text messages ios 7
I've updated from ois 6 to ios 7. I see the "edit" button in ios 6 that I used to deleate messages has been replaced wit a "contact" button. So how do I deleate the old history of messages between myself and the other person?

Find the message you would like to remove and tap and hold on it. A menu will appear with options that include "Copy" and "More". Tap on "More". The message will be selected and you can then tap on the trash icon on the bottom left. Before trashing the message, you also have the option to select other messages to remove.

Unable to remove old version of iTunes

no "remove" option, in the control panel for itunes, downloaded new itunes, can't install it. message said
"cannot remove old version, contact technical support group".
i give up.
anyone know about this???

First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
(thank you very much, {b nior})

I did everything lllaass suggested and removed most of the itunes related components, but when I tried to remove itunes, I got the message, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" so I was not able to uninstall it.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?
When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'. There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
This shouldn't be this difficult.....

I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud. Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer. The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up. To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not. The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing! Apple please note this.
It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed. They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...

How do I remove old music and playlists?

I tried to remove old music by selecting Sync Music, Selected Playlists etc, And only checked the 3 playlists I wanted. All the playlists got synced. Help!

If you connect it to your iTunes library and allow a Sync to take place, you should see a message telling you that everything will be removed from the ipod (if you let it Sync). Then, the content of your Library will be added to the iPod (if you have selected those options).

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.

Service Entry: No message Output

Hi,
I created some new purchasing groups and it run well until the release strategy of PO.
But after I created service entry and accepted it, it said that 'no message output', and I can't print the entry sheet through ML83 (it said 'no suitable purchasing document').
I think it's related with the new purch group, because when I create the same PO, but using the old Purch group, I still can print it on ML83 and when I checked entry sheet->message; I could find that there's an output. But why it doesn't work for the new purchasing group? any idea, friends??
Thanks a bunch,
Nasikhin

Hi Pankaj & Mahesh, thanks for the suggestions.
@Pankaj:
I've tried to go to MN13, but i couldn't find any record on the list. So, I just create a record for the new purchasing group, and saved it..
Then I tried to create PO and SE again, but the problem wasn't resolved.. i still can't print the Entry sheet.
@Mahesh:
I couldn't find the path u gave, but I think it should be 'SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Message->assign output device to purchasing group.
But seems that it's not the solution. because the other purchasing group are not assigned to any printer as well. anyway i tried to assign a printer to the new purchasing group.
and I tried to create service entry..I accepted it and the problem still exist.. "No message record could be found for output of message."
Any other suggestion?
Many thanks,
Nasikhin
