  • Instructions not clear for erasure of data from the app

    The mode of deleting the data from an application say go to settings-> general-> storage & use Icloud-> Manage storage (under storage)-> select app-> then choose Edit in the upper left corner.  I am running the latest version of the software and I do not see 'Edit' anywhere.  What I see is "Documents & Data" and the amount f storage that it occupies, followed by an option "Delete app.  What I am doing wrong?  I don't want to remove the application, just all unwanted items it has stored.

    Help!

    It is a function of the application and configured by the developer. Try to go to the application itself and see if it has its own parameters. If the developer did not include a way to clear the cache, then your only choice is to delete the application and reinstall it.

  • Help the erasure of data from the laptop before selling

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that is a few years old. I decided to upgrade to a new laptop several months ago and have moved / backed up everything I need from my old dell. I have someone who agrees to buy it for a low price, but want to make sure that everything is removed from the Dell before I sell it. I have windows on my Dell laptop.

    Some tips to make sure I'm not personal information? Thank you

    Yes, should, however, if your planning to install the software on your new machine and assuming that you have 1 license then you should really be their elimination from the old computer so your installation on the new.

    If you don't want to do a restore to factory... you could create a new user on the computer account, and then delete your current user. If you have stored something outside the user profile which should be deleted also. Just empty the recycling bin and then uses the wiper of free space to ensure that the data is missing...

  • erasure of data from the hard drive?

    Hey Microsoft, I have a problem

    I had two boot(win_xp_pro_and_win_7_ult).they are the two 32 bit.

    so I tried exchanging win xp with win vista ult 32 bit (download, NOT on the cd).

    I started to install and after 4 5 steps made my pc restarted and it stuck at "Please wait windows is to configure your computer" or something similar to this for 30-40 minutes.

    I rebooted it and started on win 7 I started by now. I tried to start the whole process of win 7, hoping that it will not get stuck, but he said I need space on my hard drive I got previously from win xp. So I opened up Explorer and I have seen that there are a few new files (from win vista).

    I tried once more (started on vista) and my pc has been blocked for the same post in front. So I decided to free up space and tried to format the hard drive, but I received a message(on_win_7):Windows was unable to complete the format. I tried to delete all the files, but I've done worse thereby; I get error file missing at the start of vista. I have the installation files on my win 7 and I want to delete everything on my hard drive.

    Please help and thanks in advance!

  • HP Envy X 2: win 8 notebook refreshed with erasure of data, Windows updates restart loop

    I have a laptop hp envy x 2 convertible. I just did a refresh with erasure of data for preparation of the laptop for sale. I'm trying to upgrade to 8.1 Windows so I can get the opinion of Windows 10 reserve (already booked before wiping, but I want to make sure it stuck) and I have a problem with the Windows updates.

    I did the first round of Windows updates and rebooted. Now whenever I go to check the additional updates, it tells me to restart. I restarted my computer 5 times Yes and I still get the same message. It does not seem to do anything with the updates on reboot. How can I fix?

    Hi, thanks for the response. This problem is actually solved to him alone this weekend. When I went the power options, there is an option "to update and restart." Once I chose this option instead of "restart now" from the screen of Windows updates, it installed updates and I have not had any more problems.

  • Remove data from the HD Server?

    I've recently updated my OS to 10.12 Sierra and went to install Server.app. However, when trying to install Mac OS Server, I received the following message:

    "This the server version does not support upgrading the server from data on this volume. To upgrade your database server, you need to install an older version of the server and OS X."

    ***? In what universe would be an acceptable solution? Now, the fact is that I probably had installed Server.app before on a very old version of Mac OS (not sure which) and just never bothered to upgrade during the last major revision of OS X or more.

    What that is, how can I get rid of these old "data server" so I can install a new copy? Thank you.

    Wondering how to remove the data from the server that you had before the upgrade to Sierra? If so, delete the folder/Library/Server and the.app to / applications. Then go to the App Store and buy the latest version of the server. I'm guessing that your last purchase server had Yosemite and that's why try to install the server to the App Store / Shopping does not work. I did purchase the server from Yosemite.

  • I bought an iPhone 6s and want to transfer the data from my old iPhone 4S with iTunes

    I bought an iPhone 6s and want to transfer the data from my old iPhone 4S with iTunes but it says "the"iPhone"iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. "

    I checked and the version of itunes is the latest AID!

    Most likely, what you found, is that the iTunes version is the latest available for your operating system.

    The latest version of iTunes is 12.4.3.  This version requires at least OS X 10.8.5 or later version, or Windows 7 or later version.

    If your iTunes version is earlier than 12.4.3, it will probably not recognize your 6s performance iPhone iOS 9.

    If you do not have the required operating system, get first.  Then download from iTunes

  • Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Whenever I have send a message to my Mac Book Pro there is a duplicate in the sent folder. This does not happen with messages sent from the iPhone 6s or Outlook Web site. This happens only when I send a Hotmail.ca and not Gmail.com

    signed,

    Irritating confused

    Hey TaylorP56659,

    I understand how to duplicate emails sent may irritate you, no worries however! I can help you to see if we can get this sorted out. So if it happens with your Hotmail account, try to check in Mail preferences, behaviors of the Hotmail account mailbox. It is possible that you have sent items save on the server that will allow the Mail application to have twice. This is because a local copy and the copy on the server downloaded is in the follow-up of the app the steps below to disable the registration of sent items on the server and will not happen. You can also check the Hotmail settings via webmail.

    1. launch the Mail application

    2 select email preferences from the Mail menu bar

    3. click on the tab accounts

    4. highlight your Hotmail account

    5. click on behaviors of the ball

    6. click on "store sent the Server Messages.

    7 close the preferences of Mail and send a test message

    You can see the other Preferences in the mailbox behaviors

    The steps above should stop these form of duplicates to appear in your sent folder in app Mail thank you for using communities of Apple Support

    Have a great day.
