Stop iCloud from deleting trash after 30 days

Well I think the headline speaks for it self. I know this question has been asked a few times but I haven't yet found a solution.
I am using my iCloud mail on my Mac via. Apples mail program, blackberry phone and iPad.
How do I stop iCloud from deleting the trash folder. In my mail on my Mac I have checked in "move deleted messages to trash", "keep deleted messages on the server" and "deleted messages after:" is set to never in the drop down
Does everyone have a solution for this?
Cheers
Thomas

AFAIK iCloud automatically deletes emails - I was under the impression it's 7 days - and this will over-ride any setting you have in Mail. There's nothing you can do about this, other than to move the messages in question to another folder which you create. They will stay there until you choose to delete them. The Trash folder isn't really intended as a place to store messages - it's there so that you have time to recover anything which got deleted in error. If you want to keep messages you should keep them in some other folder.

How can I stop iCloud from deleting more photos on my PC?

I've been frustrated with the slowness of the photo stream and iCloud. So I have often just plugged my phone into my PC and manually backed up my photos into my Stream folder (the same folder that is chosen in the iCloud menu).
So I had 1000's of photos on my PC from the last 4 or 5 years.
Gone.
For some reason I now go to my Photo Stream on my phone, or on my own PC, and not only do NONE of the photos that are left match (the ones I can see on my phone are not the same as the ones on the PC) but thousands of photos that were on my PC, manually backed up there by myself, are gone. There are only 20 on my PC now. 23 when I look at my photo stream on my phone.
Another odd thing, I took several photos last week, had them on my phone, in my Photo Stream, and on my PC in my Photo Stream. I often delete photos from my phone once they are backed up on the Stream, or on my PC. So I was surprised to see that ONE of FIVE photos I took in a series was still in my photo stream, and on my PC, but the other FOUR photos from that same moment in time are gone.
I want some of these photos back. Many memorable events from the past four years are just gone.
Not funny, Apple. Fix this.
(P.S. I have 2.3 terrabytes of photos backed up on the PC in question, and duplicated on two other drives in secure locations. Other than one batch of 30 or 40 photos going bad on a card in camera, I have NEVER lost an archived photo before this.)

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

HT4759 iCloud is stopping me from deleting music off of my iTunes

iCloud is stopping me from deleting music off of my iTunes

iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes, why don't you tell us what is happening rather than why you think it is happening.

Stopping iCloud from storing my movies?

How do I stop iCloud from automatically storing my purchased movies? I already have them on disk but for some reason I can't get them re-added to the movies folder. iTunes insists on downloading from the backup. It takes forever and I don't even know if it'll work and allow me to get them back onto my iPhone.
Help!
Thanks.

Movies you purchase from itunes are not uploaded to iCloud. They exist in the cloud (not iCloud), and can be downloaded from it (i.e. apple's media servers).
When you delete a movie from a device, it simply is removed from the device, and again becomes available for download from the cloud. But there is no upload involved.
The only way the movie would have a cloud icon next to it was if it either never correctly downloaded, or it downloaded but was then deleted from the device.
In either case, its not something you can prevent with a setting.

How to stop iCloud from signing back on

Because apps always crash when iCloud is on, I wanted to sign off iCloud. But there's a REAL problem.
iCloud keeps signing back in! Pages, SimpleText, Keynotes, et al won't load document windows at all with iCloud enabled but if I sign out, it signs out and I could open the app... but minutes later, iCloud just signs back and it gets to stop apps from opening!
Here's what I do.
Open System Preferences. Click on iCloud icon. Sign out. It will bring up dialogs asking me to delete or not. I delete them. I don't want iCloud because it's just not mature.. it makes too many mistakes in terms of user interface (which is a shock considering Apple should know better). It signs out and it shows two textboxes with Apple ID and Password as placeholders. If I leave it alone, I can open the apps and a blank document window (or theme chooser) appear.
Then I close the System Preference. I again open System Preferences and click on iCloud... it's BACK ON! I never signed in! And once again, apps won't open at all.
I've tried EVERYTHING without luck. I turned off iCloud account and it still doesn't do a thing.
How do I stop iCloud from signing in? And even better, is there a way to remove iCloud from Mac?

This does not work for me. It only hides the videos in the cloud I have not on my ipad air. The videos I already downloaded are still there, taking space. When I look at the TV shows in the itunes interface it does not even show that they are on my iPad. I tried adding them, syncing. Then it shows two copies (both run) of said videos. I delete the video and only the one added from itunes is deleted. The copy I downloaded and watched from iCloud is still there and not removable or deletable. I did not have this problem in iOS6. I could manually delete videos no mater what way I put them on the iPad within the itunes interface. This is a new iPad air that I setup as new, using the iCloud to populate the apps and settings, and then I added some stuff manually from cloud. It seems to be alot diffreent in how it operates though and I had this with my old ipad3 and iOS7 as well. Hiding the videos does not remove them...what do I do now?
Since it is a fresh, new ipad setup that took quite some time to get passwords and such setup or from cloud settings I hate to reset and start over, that is a pain.

TS4002 stop email from deletion when deleted on another device

how to stop email from deletion when deleted on another device.

With IMAP - the email protocol the iCloud uses - the messages live on the server and are read from there by your devices. Think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense. Therefore when your wife deletes a message she is actually deleting it from the server, which is why you see it as deleted. You can't alter this; it's inherent in the system.
The only workaround is to sort out a method whereby emails don't get deleted until both of you have seen them - for example she could move them to another folder and you could then read them there and delete them (so their presence in that folder always means that the other person has seen them).

How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
Can I ask two questions?
I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
"How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
I'll type in
"HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
Unless I manually got the space bar.
Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
Thanks in advanced.
Ps
I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

Ebay is not an official reseller. Return it if you can for a refund.
Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

I have set the Message History setting to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, Messages app is quite buggy.

I have no need to keep huge, old Messages conversations, so I recently set the Message History to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, however, I have noticed that the Messages app has become fairly buggy. Sometimes I'll open the app and it will look like there's no conversations, and the app prompts me to send a new message. Sometimes, I'll open the app to reply to an incoming message and my response will hang at 90% sent and then when I go back to the conversation list, it displays my outgoing, as-yet-unsent response as a new message, complete with little blue new message marker. The only way I have found to temporarily resolve these issues is to restart the phone. What's going on here?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that you need to apply a rule to delete messages older than 30 days for all mailboxes in your environment. Is it right? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
As all above suggestions, we can use retention tags and retention policies in Exchange 2013 to achieve it. To apply it, we can try the following steps:
1. Login to Exchange Admin Center(EAC) in Exchange 2013 as an administrator.
2. Click compliance management > retention tags.
3. Click New Tag > applied automatically to entire mailbox(default).
4. Edit the Name, Retention action and Retention period(30 days), then
Save it.
5. Click Retention Policies tab > New.
6. Edit Name and add the Retention tags you created a moment ago. And
Save it.
7. Navigate to Recipients > Mailboxes.
8. In the list view, use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple mailboxes.
9. In the details pane, click More options.
10. Under Retention Policy, click Update.
11. In Bulk Assign Retention Policy, select the retention policy you created to apply to the mailboxes, and then click
Save.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang

I don't think it can do that. Only you can delete it.

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@ and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@

and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebby

DearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK
HTH,
Randy
