SMS Inbox full, even after deleted tons of messages.

It says my SMS inbox is full even after I deleted TONS of conversations. What should I do!? I already did reset all settings.
Help please! =(

for some reason it has to do with the iOS5 update that was released yesterday that I upgraded my 3gs phone on before buying a 4s today.  i've been frustrated with it but just figured it out or at least got mine to work. 
i had spent a good bit of today deleting messages thinking that would do it.  i spoke to AT&T (clueless) where I got my new 4s phone today and did some research here on apple's website and was put on hold by an apple rep for an hour today.  from googling i found that your phone supposedly holds 75,000 messages but it must be less than that or have a different way of calculating it than you might think.  here's why.
you have more messages than you think.  a lot of my conversations went back to 2008.  there was one person in particular that i had exchanged a good number of messages with but i wanted to keep those so after deleting messages all day and getting nowhere i decided to figure out how to export SMS messages that i wanted to save.  there is an app called SMS Export and that did the trick.  I ran it and was suprised to see that after all of my deleting today i still had 61,000 messages.  so i exported this one person I had exchanged 20,000 messages with and deleted her messages from my phone leaving me with 41,000.  i restarted my phone and when it booted back up the new texts starting flowing through, 17 in all missed today. 
back in business!

  • I am getting the popup window that says my startup disk  full even after deleting many files.

    I am getting the popup window that says my startup disk is almost full. I have transfered most of my photos to an external HD, deleted most of my iTunes library, and emptied the trash. The problem is that with these steps, the diskspace did not increase at all-not even a megabyte. Any ideas why or how to fix it?

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    df -Hl

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why is the number of earlier visits so high in the security tab of the certificate information window when visiting a https protected site(in my case 13.400) even after deleting cookies?

    When you go to www.gmail.com and I rightclick on the gray coloured "google.com" showed left next to the address bar then it shows you the certification details. Whe you click on "more info" and then go to the security section it show you how many times you visted the site before. In my case it say`s none, but thats not the case with my friend, his nuber of earlier visits says 13.400 even after deleting cookies/history.
    Can someone tell me what this means, and if maybe someone other than himself is watching his email because he`s a bit worried now.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    No.
    You got 2 more basic troubleshooting steps left before you make an appointment with the Apple genius bar for an evaluation:
    Restore from backup
    Restore as new

    If you have a backup, you can restore the e-mails. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Library/Mail/V2.

  • SMS inbox full? But not really.

    I suddenly got a message a few hours ago that said "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be received until you delete some messages." I know my iPhone is nowhere near reaching it's storage capacity and I have had the same messages on there from my last iPhone for a couple years. So it seemed odd. But I deleted a bunch of messages and turned it on and off and I was still unable to receive text messages. I then deleted a bunch of entire conversations and turned it on and off and still couldn't receive texts. I then backed up my iPhone and reset it to factory settings. When I did that it, I received all of the text messages I had been sent in the past few hours. Then, I restored it to its previous backup and again, it said my SMS inbox was full, which makes no sense, since I'd already deleted hundreds. If anyone can help, PLEASE. Thanks.

    i also got the error message "Your sms mailbox is full. New messages cannot be received until you delete some messages." and i have more then enough memory ...
    i just called apple care and this is what they told me to do
    go to  Settings -> General settings -> Reset -> Reset all settings
    this WON'T erase any data!
    Then after about 5 mins connect the phone to the computer with iTunes open and then the text messages should come thru
    this worked for me!
    hopefully it will work for you too

  • IOS5 SMS Inbox Full

    My inbox was nowhere near full before the install of iOS5 and now it's telling me it is.  I've already deleted conversations that I didn't want to but thought that it'd help with receiving text messages and still no luck at all.  There are conversations I have that I believe I shouldn't have to delete at all, and there should be a fix for this.  It's ridiculous.  I'm so frustrated and upset because the new software is beautiful and is everything I've ever wanted in a software.  I wonder if there are any solutions out there that don't require you to downgrade or delete all your messages from your inbox...if anyone knows anything, please help!

    I'm having the same issue as well. I have an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iOS5.
    I have read on other forums that if you do a full restore (but not from a backup) and then re sync all your music and apps that it solves the problem. However, this does not restore the text message history.

    In my own experience, if you restart your phone, you will get all of the SMS messages that you missed when the phone turns on. However, it only seems to work at every restart. So, I have to restart my phone every 30 minutes or so to keep myself updated on my SMS messages.
    I am waiting for a patch I guess, to resolve this. This is the only way that I can see this isue being solved while maintaining my iPhone SMS data

  • Podcasts Still in Folder Even After Deleting

    Hi, I'm having a problem with itunes retaining podcasts, even after I delete them. I always click the option "Move to Recycle Bin," but a recent cruise through my itunes folder under My Music revealed that many of the supposedly deleted podcasts are still there. This has happened several times, and it gets to the point where I run out of hard drive space if I don't go to the folder and delete the old podcasts. I understand that this should only happen if I click on "Keep Files," so why is this happening even though I tell it to delete the episodes? It seems to be just random ones, too, with no rhyme or reason to whether it decides to keep an episode I told it to delete or not. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

    "Move to Recycle Bin" doesn't work if the file is active; that is, if you have just finished listening to it and it is still the active track in iTunes with the little speaker icon next to it. Start to play something else, then go back and delete it. That's probably what's happening.
    A less likely reason is that you had moved the podcast file from where iTunes deposited it. ITunes can only erase files that are in the +iTunes Music+ folder to begin with. So if you downloaded the file in iTunes the moved it, or (this just occured to me) got the file from some other means and imported it to iTunes without saving it to the +iTunes Music+ folder, iTunes won't move it to the RB.

  • Cm.jar is working even after deleting the jar from Server

    Hi,
    To update the environment with the new changes we had manually copied the cm.jar into the respective folders but due to some class errors Deployment was not successful,So as a matter of trial we had deleted cm.jar from the respective folders and then we had ran the initialsetup,
    Strange thing what we have observed is that all the custom logic which was initially deployed through cm.jar was still exisiting in the applicationserver and are getting executed smoothly
    This is the process what we have followed
    Method 1:
    1)     Stop server
    2)     
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/etc/conf/root/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/etc/conf/XAI-APP/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/businessapp
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/ standalone/lib
    3)     Run InitialSetup
    4)     Start Server
    Method 2:
    1)     Stop server
    2)     Set Exploded directories to true
    3)     Initial Setup
    4)     
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/splapp/applications/root/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/applications /XAI-APP/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/businessapp
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/ standalone/lib
    5)     Run InitialSetup
    6)     Start Server
    Method 3:
    1)     Cm packaging.
    Even after removing cm.jar from all places manually my custom code which I deployed initially is working. I could run custom batch and custom algorithm. Very Strange. I am not sure what I missed or where application is referring to.
    We want the old code to be removed permanently from server?Can you anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi Mr Shankar,
    Even if you have deleted the cm.jar file from respective location.It do exist in splapp.war file.If you will extract that file you will find the cm.jar file in /splapp/web-inf/lib/cm.jar location.So whenever you will run the initialsetup it will restore the cm.jar.This thing is happening in your case also.So delete the file from splapp.war and rebuild the war.This will solve your issue.
    Hope it will work for you.
    Regards

  • Album Artwork Not Updating??  Even After Deleting All New Artwork

    I have recently added new album artwork to my songs in my playlists directly through my iPod 5th generation. I thought the artwork was going to get updated automatically so after that I disconnected the iPod and tried to listen to the songs on it. But the songs either had no album artwork or the previous artwork that I "deleted".
    So then I connected my iPod to my PC again and there it was--all my new album artwork was already included with the songs, even though I couldn't see them whenever I used my iPod seperately.
    So then I right-clicked on "Tony's iPod" and clicked on options. I then went under the "Music" tab and unchecked "Dispaly album artwork on your iPod". Then I clicked okay which meant obvisouly meant I won't be able to see the artwork whenever I used to iPod seperately. So then I went in options again and checked "Display album artwork on your iPod". I expected the iPod to automatically update the artwork.
    I then clicked "ok" and on the top part of iTunes it said "Updating Ipod. Do not Disconnect" Then it said "Optiomizing artwork for Tony's iPod" but then all of the sudden a small window appeared with a big red X saying
    "The ipod "Tony's iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)."
    I freaked out again and restarted my computer...disconnected the iPod--connected it again, "disabled" the artwork and enabled it again...nothing worked--it kept showing the same error message. So then I decieded to delete all the new album artwork that were already with the songs (But the iPod did not want to accept them). After deleting all the new artwork--I attempted to "enable" album artwork. I believed maybe one of the album artworks i uploaded had an error on it or was not compatiable. So I "enabled" the artwork again and it showed the same exact error message.
    I have no idea on what to do, can anybody help me?
    P.S. I already checked for any viruses--there were none.

    It might be possible that the artwork is just unavalible. Try finding a random picture and setting it as a songs artwork, then updateing your ipod with that picture set as the artwork and see if it appears. If it does, then maybe you need to redo all the artwork (i have had to redo all my artwork before...total pain in the ***..). If it doesnt show, then you got me...
