Removed previous recipients keep showing up

No matter how many times I remove names from my previous recipients list in Mail, the removed names continue to return. I feel haunted. I have several computers linking to ICloud which may be the problem.
I've spent a lot of time purging these old email addresses from the Previous Recipients area in Mail on several of our networked computers.
My home computers and networked computers at my office are all linked to ICloud. Would I have to unlink the Mail app from ICloud on each computer and remove the previous recipients, then link again? That would be a lot of work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Wendy

Good question; I'll have to check. Contacts are synched through Icloud, and the Contact email addresses are kept current. I know for certain that I've deleted previous recipients in Mail on four of seven networked computers.I suspect the previous recipients in Mail on some of the other computers are the ones that keep reappearing.

I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
Best of luck.

Creative Cloud keeps showing me available updates for previous (removed) versions. Can I stop it?

In the task menu (top right of desktop on Mac), CC keeps showing me a number for the apps that have available updates. When I click to see what they are, I see that the updates are for previous versions that I no longer have installed. So... example below. As you can see, there are 3 updates available for Installed apps - InDesign CC, After Effects CS6, and Flash Pro CS6. But I no longer have those apps installed on my system. When I upgraded to CC (2014), I deleted all those apps from my application folder.
I can't find a preference to tell CC this, or have it stop alerting me to updates I don't need.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How do I remove a distribution list from Mac Mail's Previous Recipients list? 10.9.2

I have a few pesky distribution lists that live on as ghosts. Distribution lists do not show up in Mail's Previous Recipients list. Any help as to how to remove them?

Dear Allan, Very interesting solutions to a stuck disk. I'm going to keep it for future.
I finally did get my disk out - because I started up using my Mtn.Lion BU (it's a Firewire) which I connected to my old MM late 2009. There she was & I ejected it.
And I did finally get my MM 2009 working again with Snow Leopard - with the great help from ds store.
So now I have my Appleworks back too. YAH!

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

- Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

ITunes keep showing unknown error 48 while restoring iphone 4s. I've already followed applesupport suggestions of reinstalling iTunes, deleting previously downloaded ipsw on my computer and re-downloading it (countless times!) but still to no avail.

Hi. A very much help needed.
- iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
- I've already re-install iTunes various times
- Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
- Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
but... to no avail!!!!
I am now without any phone to be used.
HELP ME PLEASE

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

Hello Diane162,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

Somehow a new contact became associated with my email. Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices. I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.
