Why can't I delete gtalk account from my messages

I added googletalk to my messages on mavericks, but I don't like having that extra chat box there and I am trying to delete it rather than disable it. I don't know how to change the settings on my googletalk either such as disabling teh contacts, calendar, etc.
please help!

Hey there mlz89,
It sounds like you want to remove an account you have set up to use Messages. You should be able to do this with the Internet Accounts section of the computers system preferences, or modify an accounts settings here:
List of account features or list of account types (on the right)
If an account is highlighted on the left, its features and settings are listed on the right. Select the features you want to use and change settings as you like.
If no account is highlighted on the left, you can add one by clicking a provider such as iCloud on the right.
Delete
To remove the highlighted account and turn off all its features, click Delete (–).
If you remove an account while your Mac is set up for iCloud Keychain, the account is also removed from your other Mac computers set up for iCloud Keychain.

  • Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac, Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac

    Why can't I delete breaking bad from my mac?

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but according to reports, it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
    Otherwise, do what the alert tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID" as the product and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the representative.

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash?  They are not locked.

    Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.  I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either.  I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck.  Can anybody please help?  iOS 10.8.5

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either.  Hadn't thought of that.
    I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me.   The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you.  But here it is anyway:
    Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud.  So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share. 
    I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded.  You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac.  This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice. 
    I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone. 
    Cheers,

  • Why can't I delete iCloud account but keep my photos

    I have a Macbook Air, and two iPads. All are running Mavericks or above. When I set up this OS, I was asked a bunch of questions about the iCloud. I do my own backups. I don't really need the iCloud, but naively I thought what is the harm.
    I managed to turn off most of what I didn't want for the Macbook Air, so I think I'm good there.
    But it's the iPads I am worried about. I get asked to enter my iCloud password at random intervals. It's intrusive and annoying. I don't need an iCloud, so I thought I'd turn the feature off.
    But to turn it off it says it's going to delete my photos FROM MY DEVICE. Not from the iCloud, but from the Device!
    My question is why does Apple think it is OK to remove MY files from MY device that I own and save them to an area that I will no longer have access to?
    I don't think that Apple is stealing my photos for nefarious purposes. I don't think Apple cares about my photos. So I don't understand why they would take them away from me.
    I tried to login to the iCloud and see what photos they have. And you know what? I can't. If I try it in Safari on the iPad, I get Set up iCloud ( already done), install find my iPhone, and Find my Friends. If I login from my Macbook, I have no photos showing, which I think it because I never enabled photo backups on that device. I can't see the ones from my iPad, which are on the SAME ACCOUNT. Now I'm puzzled by the point of this iCloud feature. I would have thought it was a way to access my stuff from anywhere. I guess not? Then what IS the point?
    Like I said I have a backup of the stuff on the iPad, so that's not the problem. The problem is why is Apple making me jump through hoops to restore my own files that I did not delete? It's the exact opposite of what I want to happen. I want to delete photos from the cloud and not from the device.

  • Why can't I delete synced photos from my iPhone?

    Early iPhones did not have especially good cameras, so this was not an issue. However, starting with the iPhone 4s, it became clear that iPhones would begin to replace standard point-and-shoot cameras. Space would soon become a problem. You could be on a trip and begin to run out of space and find that any photos you had synced using iTunes (before your trip) could not be deleted. Even if you had an iPad with more storage, you could not delete those older synced photos. Apparently, you were supposed to have brought your Mac or PC on the trip, just so that you could use iTunes To delete synced photos.
    I don't understand Apple's rationale for this limitation.
    As of this writing, Apple does not provide a tablet that runs iTunes. So it would seem that the only solution is to buy a PC tablet such as Microsoft surface tablet. Only then would you have a full fully portable tablet that would allow you to run the iTunes program to delete old synced photos and make more room on your iPhone.
    Of course you can use airdrop to transfer photos from the iPhone camera roll to an iPad and then delete them from your iPhone, but why would you want to get rid of the newer photos on your iPhone rather than the old ones that had been synced before your trip?
    SInce Apple does not offer a tablet that runs OS X (and therefore is iTunes capable), this policy would seem to be in advertisement for Microsoft.
    Am I missing something?

    When the new iCloud Photo Library and its accompanying Photo app for Mac is available, this problem will go away. In the mean time, you have another option. Instead of syncing albums or photos from your photo library onto your device, why not create a shared Photo Stream with the older photos you want to have with you? Those can be deleted as you wish.
    Or, as Ralph suggested, if you are planning a trip, remove the excess photos before you leave so you do not run out of room.

  • Why can't I delete certain files from my Time Capsule?

    I don't have my Time Capsule set up to back up every hour or so.  It's set up so that I can manually drag & drop files into it.  I've been trying to free up space by deleting some movie files that don't need anymore.  They appear to be just .avi format but I haven't been paying close enough attention to see if any other formats won't delete.  What prevents certain files from being deleted from the Time Capsule?

    I only asked about each folder down the hierarchy to and including one video you can't delete.
    If you copy a new file into each of the higher-level folders down to and including the "MOVIES" folder, can you then delete that new file?
    If you're willing to use a command in a Terminal session, I can tell you how to determine what process has a file open.

  • Office Jet 5510 All in One - Why Can't I delete a document from the queue?

    Hi,
    In what is becoming an infuriatingly more frequent problem, my printer is jamming up when feeding the paper. When I clear the paper, the document in the printer queue (, or however you spell that) is stuck there, it won't delete, even after rebooting the computer, and it won't finish printing. I'm getting sick of deleting the printer from my computer and re-installing it, there must be something else I can do when this happens. If anyone can tell me what that is, I'll be eternally grateful.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Why can't I delete some photos from my iphone 5c? There is no trash bin at the bottom of some of the photos so what option do I have to delete these photos?

    How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?

    It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
    Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
    Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
    Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
    Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
    Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.

  • Why can't I delete any songs from my library??

    I saw this question was posted but no one had an answer even though it was marked as "solved".
    I can't delete any songs from my library whether or not they are starred. None of the songs are on my playlists. When I right click on a song, the delete option is in gray so I can't select it. It's driving me crazy! Please help me! :catmad:

    That fixed it. I've had this problem for MONTHS and I couldn't find a work around. This comment made me finally think to just delete the songs on the playlists and that FINALLY removed them from my library. Thanks so much for the heads up!

  • TS3899 hi - why can't i delete emails once from iphone and ipad at the same time?

    When I delete emails from the iphone they still appear in the ipad. Why? How can I delete from both devices at the same time?

    You can and it should be automatic depending on your refresh rate.  If your phone and iPad refresh every hour, or only on request, then the iPad will not show the change until you refresh the email account.
    Next time you delete emails, try it....Refresh the screen on the iPad.
    This only works if iPad has internet connection.

  • Why can't I delete certain songs from my iPhone?

    On my iPhone they are songs that synced from my computer that I don't want on my phone too. I was trying to delete them today and most of the songs i didn't want on my phone wouldn't delete and I was wondering if there was a reason for that or a way to get them to delete.

  • Why can't I delete old photos from my photo stream that were on my MBP (that I wiped and no longer own)?

    There are photos still around on my photostream from my macbook pro. I sold (and wiped clean) the computer months ago. The option to delete the photos is greyed out.  It's not a huge issue, but I have OCD about keeping my photostream cleaned up and there are a multitude of desktop wallpapers and other random things that I can't seem to get rid of. Any ideas? I unregistered my macbook pro when I sold it. Tried logging into icloud.com, iTunes, etc. and there was no photo options in sight.
