Spotlight still showing deleted program

Hi there,
I recently "uninstalled" a program with CleanApp which had a proper install program but no uninstall. After doing that, my spotlight still shows me the program. Is there any possibility to remove it from spotlight?
Thanks for your help,
mischi001

If you hold down the Command key and click on an item in the Spotlight menu bar list it will open the folder that contains the item.

Changed feed and deleted old account. iTunes Store still showing deleted content?

I was a former use of Podomatic and published my RSS feed to iTunes in order to publish my podcasts. I am now publishing to iTunes direct from my webserver via software "Feed For All" that I purchased. iTunes approved the changed URL RSS feed and it's working fine in the iTunes store. All that is available via the Feed for All URL is being published by iTunes, so that's not the problem. The problem lays in that I deleted my Podomatic account approximately 7 days ago, and iTunes Store still shows the Podomatic content ... i.e., unplayable and not working podcasts as well as the avatar from my Podomatic account.
How long does it take for iTunes to strip out the old Podomatic stuff?
Thank you.
Rachael

His content will only be where he put it.
Has he copied his content from his old comptuer to the new one?

Spotlight Search showing deleted emails

After loaded IOS6 - now when I do a "Search Iphone" using spotlight search I see emails from my Gmail account that were COMPLETLY deleted over 3 weeks ago (about 10 of them). This occurs even AFTER COMPLETLY cleaning out ALL Gmail folders (which they were when I downloaded the update)
How can I delete from this permanently search? Where could they be "hiding" on the Iphone..... Archive is shut of (and always has been). again ALL MY gmail folders are COMPLETLY empty.
Tried deleting Gmail account from phone and did a power down and reboot AFTER deleting Gmail account from phone too! yes... cleared history & cookies in Safari too.

I've been having the same problem with deleted emails showing up in Spotlight on iOS 6.0.2 (iPhone 5) so I did some experiments. (I'm using an IMAP account, not POP, and all my folders are on the server.)
There are actually two different problems (three if you count people who don't check all their account folders so the message is just tucked away in a place they didn't think to look).
The first problem occurs when you compose a message but don't hit Send, then hit Cancel, hit Save Draft, go back to the draft, and send it. Then you go to the Sent folder and delete the message and go to the Trash and delete it there. Now it doesn't show up anywhere in any account folder. But, if you go to Spotlight and search for something in the message, it will appear and you can bring it up and send it again. Mail is obviously squirreling away the draft in a place where it can't be deleted. Nothing short of a backup, reset, and restore will get rid of it.
The second problem occurs when you delete a message from a folder and then go the Trash and delete it there. If you immediately go to Spotlight, you'll see a "ghost" message: it's in Spotlight but if you try to bring it up, you'll find it doesn't really exist and Mail either shows a blank message or shows the account folders. You can get rid of these "ghosts": press the Home button to see the home screen and then double-click the Home button to show the running apps, then press and hold on the Mail icon and click the '-' badge to quit Mail. Then if you go back to Spotlight and search again, they're gone.
So there are two bugs: one serious and one that can be fixed by quitting Mail. And these are caused by real files being kept by Mail so using iErase or Zero Free Space to clear free space (by writing a huge file) has no effect. And, until Apple fixes the serious bug, never, ever, save a draft. (And if you do, you'll have to back up, reset, and restore.)

AGR_USERS still shows deleted User IDs

Hi There,
Can someone kindly help me to understand how a few User IDs that have been deleted in the system still continues to show up in the table AGR_USERS ?
This table information is being extracted into BW and it ends showing non-existent IDs in the report.
Regards,
Manick

Hi Ravi,
Yes - the CUA is active in another system; the deleted IDs are in the child system. However, the User Role assignments are still being shown in the T-Code PFCG (in either of the systems).

Exchange - iPhone still shows deleted and cancelled appointments / meetings

I have an iPhone set up to correctly sync with Microsoft Exchange, and email and contacts appear to work correctly. The calendar, however, keeps showing appointments and meetings which were deleted, cancelled, or moved in the past. These are typically repeating meetings originally scheduled in Exchange by another person, where I accepted the meeting invite and then the meeting cancellation a while ago.
I am thinking of deleting the entire calendar and starting over, but somehow I'm not sure this will resolve the issue. Any advice?
(I have the iPhone set to sync mail, calendar, and contacts to my company's Exchange server).

Interesting; the turning sync off then back on approach seemed to work. Sort of. I did the following, and it seems to have worked -- for now:
1. In Microsoft Outlook on my Windows machine, I went and straightened up my schedule, declining any leftover meeting invitations (but not sending a reply) to all the items I wanted off of my schedule.
2. On my iPhone, went to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar, then the Exchange account. Calendars was set to "On" and I switched it off". Tapped on "Stop Syncing", and then I confirmed the calendar was erased from my iPhone.
3. Went back into Settings for the Exchange account, then switched Calendars back to "On". Made sure I had a WiFi/high speed connection active, since I'm on an original iPhone and re-loading my whole calendar over EDGE didn't seem like a good idea.
Also, not that it makes a difference, I also have my "Mail days to sync" set as far back as it'll go (1 Month).

MacBook Pro 13 inch. FInder - places - still showing deleted item

Is there a way of refreshing what Finder sees. Not having had a Mac before, I'm a bit lost.
This is what Finder shows under the heading of Places. -
Desktop
Applications
House icon with my Apple ID beside it
Name of document I have deleted.
Is it possible to do a refresh screen like you can on Windows laptop and stop seeing items deleted? How do I make sure any documents don't go to 'Places'?
Helpful suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks Linc. Had been tearing my hair out trying restart and such. Held down command key and item vanished in a puff of smoke. Thank you for the rapid reply. Made my day!

Still shows deleted files; also, not showing new listings under "artists".

I deleted some lectures from my ipod, and deleted the playlist that contained them, but when I sync my ipod, the deleted playlist shows, containing one of the 70 files that it used to contain.
2nd problem...I added a bunch of music from some cd's, they synced ok, showing the artist, the album, etc. However, when I look for the artist on my ipod, it doesn't show.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

*I added a bunch of music from some cd's, they synced ok, showing the artist, the album, etc. However, when I look for the artist on my ipod, it doesn't show.*
There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are incorrectly ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

Calendar still shows deleted items

Hi, I have something very strange on my BB. When I delete an entry in outlook, it still appears on my BB. Overall sync of my schedule works fine.

Spotlight on Iphone 4 showing deleted emails

When I use spotlight for various searches, it shows email messages which I have already deleted. Although when you select them it takes you to the folder the message was originally stored in, but the message is not there.
The messages are not in any trash folder or deleted messages folder either on the iphone itself or on the server. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a POP account or IMAP account.
There are also a number of messages which can be read - these seem to be ones that I have written or started to write, but not actually sent (could have been saved as a draft - but again nothing in the draft folders). You get taken to and can read the full email from being selected in spotlight, but is not stored anywhere in my mail folders.
I'm running the latest version of iOS 5.1.
Is there anyway to either reset the spotlight cache, or delete the cache to remove all these "deleted" emails from spotlight. I have searched many forums, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

I was able to contact a company that has a similar app as ierase. Now I understand the issue. These programs do overwrite "free space." But, WITHIN various apps, including email, there are files that basically point you to the data by saving a line or two (in the case of emails) in the application itself. This is called a "cache." These files live in the apps, not the free space. It's important because that's how computers know how to "remember" stuff for you so you can search, etc. BIG BUT: iPhone does not allow you to remove the cache or specific items from it. Android phones seem to have this setting. Your computer has this capability. But your iphone does not. The only way to remove information from the cache is to do a complete restore and not back up with iTunes. Puleese tell me if I'm wrong.
Think of it as a file cabinet. The top drawer has the operating system files that don't get touched unless there is an update of the operating system, e.g. to 5.1.1. The second drawer contains all your applications, with subfolders for each one. The subfolders contain a whole lotta flags (often called placeholders). These flags say: go to file drawer 3 and look up such and such. File drawer 3 i is your free space where all the stuff you do is stored. If you go to file drawer 2 and remove the flags, the system doesn't where to look for stuff in file drawer 3. You can add and remove files from drawer 3, or zero out the data, but the flags are still hanging around in drawer 2. You get my drift. I'm so right brained...
This is my basic understanding of why this problem is so widespread. It would be nice if Apple could allow cache editing.

TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
Thank-you for the help!

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

Disabled fonts still showing up in programs

I have over 1700 fonts and most of them are disabled through Font Book.
However, all of them still show up in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator.
It's murder having to scroll through the whole list, esp. when most of them shouldn't even be visible.
Am I getting this wrong? What's the point of Disabling a font in Font Book? Why are they still showing up?

• Yes, I asked on the Adobe forums as well. No luck there.
• Can't strip down to a nucleus of fonts. I'm a graphic designer and I'm often font matching.
• No, it's not just a Snow Leopard thing. I first noticed this at work and I haven't upgraded there yet.
• I'll tackle the bad fonts next.
Anyway, I finally got it working as it should!
Thing is, i'm not quite sure what I did as I was trying so many things.
If this is happening to you, this is what I did:
1. Search for AdobeFnt.lst files and zap them. (Make sure you don't delete similarly named db files.)
2. Zap everything in the /Library/Cache/... All of it!
3. This "undid" all of my "disabling" in Font Book. Had to do it all over again.
4. Reboot.
And make sure no Adobe apps get opened at all during this process. Not sure about this but I wanted to prevent them from attempting to cache fonts before I was through disabling.
...Whew!
