Unable to delete Account ..

Hi, I am a newbie to this phone (Palm Pre - (ISP) Bell Canada), and am having some issues deleting an account that was setup when the phone was 1st
purchased.
Ok, the phone is not mine, but our Senior VP's. He is a techie (but not a knowlegable 1 ..)
So what he did when he got his phone was to setup a bad google account (ex [email protected]) and not a gmail account
as per what should have been setup ..
He also messed this account up to such a degree .. that the phone would not sync with it ..
So what I have had to do, is setup a new Google account for him (ex [email protected]), and then hard reset (do a Full Delete) of his Pre to hopefully allow me to
make his Default account the new gmail account (which I could not do before)
This worked .. as I could now select which account each app would sync with (Mail/Calendar/Contacts).
I also was allowed to to delete the (ex [email protected]) account from the phone, which was great.
I also logged into the Palm Pre web console and made his account email and password the same as the new gmail account I created for him.
The problem is .. is that the phone still sees his old account (ex [email protected]), even tho I have (to my best understanding) deleted it!
It does not show up if I look at the account profile on the phone, but is does when I look at my sync preferences in calendar ..
What am I doing wrong here ??
This VP has an assistant with the exact phone (who did not pre-setup the device before I could get my hands on it) and after setup it works great!!
Any help would be great ... I need to delete any knowledge of his old account please ..
Sincerely,
Paul

What I think is going on is that you have to delete this fake account under each of the Synergy accounts.
This will include
Contacts
Calendar
Email
Messaging.
So for Calendar here are the steps to delete it
1. Launch Calendar
2. Select the menu upper left hand corner
3. Select preferences and accounts
4. Scroll down to the fake gmail account (you will want to select it)
5. Select Remove Account

    You have to delete the mailboxes. Go to messaging-> options-> e-mail-> highlight the mailbox-> delete.

    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    ibosie /V.K. -
    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -
    Dudley

  • Unable to delete IMAP mail account in Yosemite

    I have set up a number of IMAP mail accounts, but have changed servers. I'm unable to delete the old accounts in the "Accounts" tab of Mail with an "error" dialog referring me to "Internet Accounts" tab of System Preferences. The accounts do NOT exist in this list. The accounts have been unchanged for years and have migrated with each OS & Mail.app upgrade.
    I don't necessarily wish to delete the accounts - if I could just edit the server details that would do the job, however that  field is greyed-out and can't be edited.

    I am having the exact same problem. iPhone 5 on 7.1. I try to 'turn off' contacts, the phone requires me to 'delete my account'. I agree to do so, and the phone just 'hangs' at the 'Delete' screen. I have allowed it to continue for over a half hour.

  • I'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

    i'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

    I thought maybe you had a restriction set to Accounts but if you can get to the final screen that's not it. I'd try resetting the phone. First do a hard reset. Turn the phone off then press the Home button an Power button at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or so until the logo appears. If that doesn't work go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. That will basically restore the phone to a like new condition but keep your data, music, photos, etc. intact. Do a back up first though.

  • I am unable to delete emails from my orange account and my mail box is now full?

    Please help - I am unable to delete emails from my orange email account and as a result my mail box is full and I cannot receive any emails. Whether I try to delete a message either individually or the entire inbox it just says my inbox is full and I need to delete some messages!Thank youSara

    What domain is your email addy? Don't think there is much you can do about it. Seen others get in this bind with these small mailboxes. There might be a way round it depending on your domain.

  • I am unable to delete an email account/profile in the settings for Mail/Contacts/etc.

    I have 3 email accounts and on 2 of them there is the "Delete Account" red button at the bottom, but for one of them it is not an option. This particular account that I am trying to remove was installed using the iOS setup tool from GoDaddy.com, which is the host for my work email. These were the instructions I was asked to follow to setup the IMAP account on my iPad:
    1. Go to the GoDaddy website (full site) in Safari
    2. Type "Apple" in search bar top right.
    3. Select "Automatically Setting up Email on Your Apple Mobile Device"
    4. Select "Email InfoCenter"
    5. Type in my email and password.
    6. In email info center, select "Auto Setup fo iOS"
    7. In the popup, there is a link in bold letters, select that and copy it, then paste it into your Safari address field at the top and go to that site.
    8. Follow instructions and type in your password to validate.
    This installs your IMAP account on your iPhone or iPad automatically. So when you go to Mail, it is there as an option.
    The problem is that I can't figure out how to delete it!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

    Hello,
    We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
    you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
    They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
    I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
    I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
    file.
    I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
    Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

    Hello Bria,
    What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
    Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
    There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items: 
    User
    Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
    Hide these specified drives in My Computer
    Prevent access to specified drives in My
    Computer
    There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
    I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

  • Unable to delete emails from care4free using thunderbird

    I have just bought an imac and have transfered my thunderbird account from my old pc. I am unable to delete messages from my care4free POP account. Anyone help with this please?

    Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail
    folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the
    application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done
    automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail
    folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important
    on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email.
    If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient
    the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

  • Unable to delete videos from my iad

    I am unable to delete videos from my ipad.  When I go to Settings - Usage - Storage; the video section will show up as no data in it even if it has multiple videos downloaded from itunes in it.  I am using iOS 7.0.4 on a new iPad mini Retina 64GB.  I am seeing the same problem on my iPhone 5S. 

    I was puzzled by this since ios7 I waited for  7.1 and thought it was fixed as it seems to go away. Now its back in 8.0 and 8.0.2.
    It seems somewhat related to incomplete accounting of downloaded video and music too on the device and applying to storage left on device as these two icons are not showing up under usage in settings, even with show all selected.
    Here is what I did:
    Go to "Videos" under settings, turn off "show all videos", this will show only videos that presumably are on your device.
    Go to Videos" app and you should see video that is presumably downloaded to device, select the cloud icon and as unintuitive as it seems, download the video as if it is not already on the device.
    When one or all of your videos finish, go to "Settings", "General", "Usage", you will see an increase in available storage.
    While there, select "Manage Storage" and "Videos" should show up in usage and an amount of MB or GB.
    Select "Videos" under storage and your videos will present. Select "Edit" in upper right corner.
    Select red "minus symbol", delete.
    As you do this you will see more and more of your devices storage coming back in available storage.
    This is similar to or is a memory leak issue that needs to be addressed. It apparently hasn't yet.
    The same process works with Music. I haven't seen this as an issue in dealing with apps.

  • TS3899 deleted account and reopened it , made it worse, now cant do anything, it wont open emails says has no content and cant access them at all

    I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
    can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
    I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
    so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
    at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

  • I upgraded to IOS 7 and now I can't get my Hotmail account on my phone.  When I type in all the information, I get "Unable to Verify Account Information".  How do I get to use my Hotmail account using this software????

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

  • HT1668 I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP

    I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
    Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,  select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • Volume encrypt and erase failed; unable to delete core storage logical volume

    I was attempting to slowly migrate [MI-***] from early 2013 MBPRO to New iMac 5K w/Ceiling Level components.
    Kept going through LONG process and then told me it couldn't create [MBPRO HD Home Username] "Jim" on volume or whatever. NO FileVault enabling/ still skittish from White iMac Encrypting Nightmare days... I don't even know -- I guess it's encrypted on Airport, but not on MBPRO.
    Moved over Applications from outside User account fine; anything inside any User account NOT FINE.
    Hooked up Thunderbolt cable between two macs and restarted MBPRO in T mode... displaying the lightning BOLT on screen that moves around to reduce Burn-in.
    Was able to go onto desktop and use windows to drag n drop 190G of movies over to iMac... wondering how I was going to get all right settings over form FCP...
    Bottom Line: I only have 16G left on MBPRO and need to MOVE video editing to be exclusive on 3T Fusion on Maxed out iMac 5K.
    > Have concluded through whole process that I just want to clone the MBPRO and then delete most of the Larger Videos from MBPRO to recover some of my 760G SSD back.
    So, I grabbed my 2T Airport Extreme and Hooked up the Cat5 LAN port to Cat5 input on back of NEW iMac; Now my MBPRO doesn't have to be locked up for days, because i can use TimeMachine backup to restore or clone the two macs... i hope.
    Went into recovery mode and selected sub-Macintosh HD and attempted to erase; Result time after time after time: "Volume Encrypt and Erase failed." Reason: "Unable to delete the Core Storage logical volume." It dismounts it and I have to restart computer to get it back on. Funny thing is I don't have to use R anymore... which by the way, Command+R appears to be same as just plain old R when restarting... why is that?
    This has become a "since Christmas" runaround session for me and I am sick of it.
    Please help. I would've called Apple Care [and I did last night while driving... just to get advice on direction. I'm usually a pretty savvy PowerUser but this is driving me crazy.] but have to get things done for a meeting tomorrow. Can work on it after hours if someone can advise today on this post.
    Thx,
    Jim

    I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.
