How to remove Apple ID Messages preferences?

I pulled out my Apple ID in Messages > Preferences. Now, the ID is always visible, but it is grayed out and the '-' button does not completely remove the account. Can anyone tell my why this happens or how to fix it?

Hello

In Messages When you start ago towed by default "of the listed accounts.

The iMessages, which is empty until add you an identifier to Apple and the Hello which is inactive by default.

Once you have added an Apple ID for the iMessages one then the Apple ID tends to be readable if you disconnect.

You can write it with a new Apple ID, but the bit of the password is empty.

None of these accounts can be deleted using the less icon below the list.

The app works as it should.

You can make the application thinks that it should not be implemented to a certain extent that should stop the ID visible.

Open a Finder window. Use the Menu to go while holding down the ALT key. Select the library that appears in the list when you do this.

Go to preferences.

Find com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist and drag it to the trash (this will remove it.)

This .plist contains identifier Apple iMessages and also alternatives such as the number of iPhone or any other email ID added to the list to receive.

When you reopen Messages the Apple ID should be gone.

  • How to remove apple news topics?

    I like the new product new Apple iOS.  However, it seems difficult to manage themes.  I used to read the headlines and other news using other applications.  My children have iPads that are related to my account and managed by me.  I would use the product of news with them, but I can't understand how to limit news to a few topics that interest them (science, history, etc.). They don't bother Sports, finance, fashion or news of last hour (nor do I want them to see a big part of it).  There seems to be no way to remove the new trends, news or other ordinary stuff.  I can't find references on how to do it either.

    Thanks in advance

  • How to remove ' 1 error message Validation error has occurred?

    Hi all

    I don't want to display an error message by default as ' 1 error has occurred"validations on a single page. Is it possible to do? If possible, can you please suggest how we can do this?

    I would be grateful for your help.

    Kind regards
    Hari

    To remove the message summary and any detailed message for each error validation in this same area, doing something like what Michael said:

    create a process before header that does this:

    apex_application.g_notification: = null;

    .. .with the condition Inline Validation errors displayed.

    Alternatively, remove the string #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE # and the page template (but who may have other side effects).

  • How to remove the error message there is no disc the disc in the Drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1

    There is an error message which keeps popping up and I push to cancel several times before it will go away however he comes back to the top on my screen at random times. Meesage hpqtra08.exe - no disc, then below it reads "he not there no disc insert disc in the Drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1.
    Please help me to remove it from my computer!

    Hello lala80,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    hpqtra08.exe is normally installed as part of the HP all-in-one printer, scanner, driver copy and install the software. It is a non-essential process, and it is at the discretion of the user, whether to disable. If disabled buttons as scan in the 'all-in-one' continues to work. However if you never use it it is safe to disable. It does not work, just the button scan in the multi functional.

    You can disable this feature by using msconfig in Windows.

    Click Start and type msconfig in the search box and press enter

    Click the Start (top row)

    In the list of programs, uncheck hpqtra08.exe

    If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need more help

  • How to remove messages from IPhone to reflect on Apple Watch?

    How can I delete a message from the iPhone and the Apple Watch?

    Until now what I noticed, is that if I delete any message on the device remains the same, on the other hand, there is no synchronization or automatic mirroring. This happens only in iMessage, other applications of synchronization occurs automatically in the other device. I did a software reinstall on Iphone devices and watch and still does not work.

    What I need, is just delete the iMessages on my Iphone and delete also on my Apple Watch automatically.

    Hello

    Delete the message is not synchronized on devices (and there is no way to enable this). Messages must on the contrary be deleted separately on each device (this is also how the app works through additional Apple devices, like a computer, iPad,...).

    The mirror that my iPhone for Apple Watch determines only how you receive a notification of new messages. If you choose custom, for example, you can decide if your watch watch alerts, audio or haptic alerts are provided and if (including the number of times), alerts are repeated when you receive new messages.
