"search iphone" database not deleting

I've deleted a lot of old iMessages and they still show up in the "search iPhone" results. Is there a way to either clear the search index to remove these old items or to turn off the search indexing of SMS/iMessages?

This amounts to a security problem. If you sent a confidential text, and then deleted it, but it can still be found using the search iPhone feature, it's not very confidential

Photo deleted on iPhone does not delete on Photos on iMac

Anyone know why this would happen?

Greetings Ivanvdm,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are using My Photo Stream and deleting a photo on the iPhone is not deleting it from the Mac. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on an iOS device, Mac, or PC, that photo will be deleted from the My Photo Stream view on all your devices after you connect each device to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

You have to tap Edit, then tap at least one photo before you get the delete button.

Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name. Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book. Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts. Click Apply and sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book. (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

IPhone does not delete emails

Hello, I set up my hotmail account as an exchange account (using m.hotmail.com). Push works great as well as when I delete a mail on my iphone it's gone in the webinterface too. When I delete mails in my hotmail account those mails still remain on my iPhone. They are not deleted and remain there - on the server they're gone. I do not want to keep both mailboxes up to date. Is this a normal behaviour? Hope you can help me out.
Kind regards,
Michael

you can change the time which will be synchronized in the settings of your exchange account on the iphone itself.
something like 'settings'-> 'mail, contacts...' -> your exchange account

Deleted hotmail emails from my iPhone are not deleted from my iMac

Hi,
After I have deleted my hotmail emails from my iPhone they are not automatically deleted from my iMac.
They delete from my hotmail account but not my iMac.
Also when I set up my hotmail account to my iPhone all of my email files transfered to my iPhone automatically, they didn't transfer
to my iMac.
Help!!!!
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.
I have set Hotmail to (Do what my other program says—if it says to delete messages, then delete them.)
Still no joy, tried to delete an email from my iMac and its still on my iPhone and Hotmail inbox.
Any other ideas?

Deleted Mail on the iPhone does not delete on .Mac

I've noticed that when I delete mail on my iPone in my .Mac account that it does not show as deleted when going to webmail.mac.com. I see the messages still in my inbox AND in the trash.
Any ideas why this is not synching?
Thanks.

I found that there was a slight time lapse from when I managed a message on my iPhone (with .Mac) to when it showed the same status on my Mail.app (.Mac). For example, I deleted a message directly from my Inbox (iPhone) and it moved to trash. But it took about 2 minutes for that same message to show up in my trash on my machine. It just sat as a new, unread message on my laptop and then suddenly during the next send/receive interval it was put into the trash (still marked as unread, though).
Have you allowed any sort of time lapse? Or are you viewing the webmail view of your .Mac account simultaneously as your actions on the iPhone?

Deleted tracks on Iphone are not deleted from the itunes playlist

When I delete some tracks on iphone, I would like them to be deleted from the itunes playlist as well when syncing.
how can i do it?
thanks

I was just playing around with my YahooMail account too ...and it's a little different than the normal client/server sorta thing I've been used to ...
I was using my PC to draft a new Yahoo email, then saw it on my iPhone Email, in the Drafts ... edit the PC version, update iPhone, the edit appears.
The iphone doesn't download a copy of your messages, it interfaces directly with the server. If you do anything on either side (PC and/or iPhone) it affects your Yahoo Inbox.

Spotlight search (search iphone) does note work half of the time.

When searching my iphone4s nothing show up half the time. (spotlight search) Sometimes it works fine and other times I type and it does not search or show anything. Powering down the phone did not fix. Just odd it works for a minute then seems to stop completly. No other problems besides this one.

OK, well at least it works 50% of the time.

How can I set up the iPhone to not delete my email on my regular email. I want to just remove it from the phone.

I want my emails to stay on my Yahoo and work email when deleted from phone. How do I set that up?

The only way to leave them on the server is to set the account up on the phone as a POP3 account (if the service supports it). IMAP and Exchange provide for full synchronization between all clients and the server.

Outlook 2007 Email Sync Not Deleting Messages

Can someone help me understand how sync is 'supposed' to work? I access my POP emails and I understand that the iPhone does not delete the emails from the server. I wish they would fix that since I'm choosing the option to 'Delete from server'. However, if I delete the messages in Outlook and then perform a sync, the emails show up as new unread emails on the iphone. WHAT IS HAPPENING?? This is extremely frustrating since it seems that common sense indicates 'sync' would do just that?
If someone has figured out how to fix this, please email me at [email protected] Thanks in advance.

With a POP account, the iPhone's mail client can delete messages from the server when downloaded with the following settings available by account.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select the POP account.
Select Advanced for the account settings.
Under Incoming Settings at Delete from Server, the options are:
Never
Seven Days
When removed from Inbox
The iPhone sync process with iTunes does not sync account mailboxes and messages.
Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, it is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
If you want the same new messages that are received at the incoming mail server server available with both Outlook and with the iPhone's mail client, you need to select Never for remove messages from the server with the account settings with Outlook, and with the iPhone's mail client.
When accessing an email account with multiple email clients, an IMAP account is preferable since all server stored mailboxes for the account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
Unless you aren't concerned about receiving spam at your Gmail address, you should never provide your email address out in the open at a public forum such as this.

Any solution for the Exchange "does not delete" / "does not expunge" bug?

Other than using Synchronica, has any solution been found or released for the iPhone/Exchange bug where messages deleted on the iPhone are not deleted from the server (but rather just left there & shown as "read")?

Yes. The issue here is that iPhone does not issue the "expunge" command after deleting the message. If you have a PC at work and are using Outlook, you may want to run a utility that will periodically expunge the deleted messages so you don't have to do double duty deleting. A good one is here -- note, you must scroll down to the comments for the link to the updated binary that supports SSL if it is enabled on your Exchange server:
