Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to free up space on my iPhone?I would still like to keep them somewhere where they can be accessed.

One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone. I need to delete a playlist to make room for a new one, but Delete does not even show up as an option (nor does the delete key on my keyboard delete anything.

Could you possibly be more vague?
If you want help you have to provide details, not just "I can't synch my phone". Why can't you synch? What error messages do you get? Give us something.

Can anyone tell me how to download a DVD to iTunes and then onto my ipad? I presume that's legal?

If you're talking about a commercial DVD and you're in the U.S. (and a number of other countries), you presume incorrectly. Commercial DVDs are encrypted and breaking that encryption is illegal. For non-encrypted DVDs, use Handbrake.

I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

There is no way to export Faces information.
I'm not sure why you would do this:
If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I backed up a video to icloud and then deleted it from my iPhone but have recently backed up again - will my video still be in icloud?

I backed up my iPhone to the Cloud a few weeks ago and then deleted a video from my iPhone. I have since backed up my iPhone again....will my video still be in the iCloud? Does the iCloud when restoring, overwrite existing data on my phone?

If the latest backup does not include the video, then it won't be restored if you restore from that backup. Technically, there should be around 3 backups maintained in icloud, but many users find that they have one one choice to make (the latest backup) when they perform a restore from icloud.
Like photos, video should always be synced to a computer for archiving. If you've done that, then you should be able to find it on your computer.

Sync ALL photos on the iPhone with the computer and then delete

I have over 3000 photos on my iPhone that I want to sync with/copy to my computer and then delete off of my phone to make more storage available. I have attempted to open iTunes and sync but it only completed the most recent 150 that I have taken. Any recommendations? I have a PC. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the quick reply. I already attempted this. the only pictures and videos that it prompts me to import/upload are the new ones, which was approximately 150. The remainder are not being read or being asked to import. that's the issue.

How do i move my itunes library from one acc't to another and then delete itunes on the old acc't?

I would like to set up a media acc't for my family of four to listen to our music library and view all of our photo's. Then I would like to delete Itunes from my personal acc't. I have been able to establish a media acc't for all family member's and opened Itunes (i can see all of my purchased songs, but not the ones i have downloaded from personal CD's) to use however, i need assistance in moving over all my music and then deleted the old Itunes from my personal acc't. Can anyone assist me?
Thanks.

Locate the song files in the Finder, drag them to a location in the /Users/Shared/ folder, load the shared iTunes library, drag them into the open iTunes application window, and delete the old iTunes library. If desired, you can move the old iTunes library to the Shared folder instead of individually moving the music files.

When using a NAS with iTunes, will iTunes ask if a file should be deleted and then delete it from the NAS?

I had some bad luck moving to a NAS earlier this year. I'm trying again now after getting a new hard drive.
One thing I encountered previously was that it seemed like if I deleted say a podcast or TV show manually that I had watched, I did not get the usual confirmation asking if I wished to delete the file. More importantly, the file did not seem to delete from the NAS. I had to go through twice the work to remove it from itunes and then again from the NAS.
Is that how it is supposed to work if the Itunes media is on a NAS? Not sure if it was some sort of issue with my previous problems or if that is how it works with itunes and a NAS device?
Thanks.

Hey elenaaa21,
It all depends on what your setup is. So if you have upgraded to iCloud Photo Library, then any changes that are made will be reflected on all devices that have that turned on. You delete a photo on your iPhone, then on iCloud.com you will not see it because it has been deleted. If you are not using iCloud Photo Library, then you will need to delete the photo on all devices to where it shows up. Keep in mind that if this was done very quickly, then it may not have been uploaded to your My Photo Stream as you need to make sure that you are on Wi-Fi and the Camera app be completely closed out. Take a look at the article below for more details and let me know if this clears this up or need further assistance.

I received a "junk" email that I attempted to dispose of by sending it to "trash" and then deleting it from "trash". At that point, instead of deleting, it simply rotates back into "junk"--and over and over. How do I delete this unwanted email?

I received a "junk" email and attempted to dispose of it by sending it to "trash" and the deleting it from the trash file (the way I always do). This particular spam, however, instead simply rotates back into the "junk" file-- ad infinatum. How do I eliminate tis unwanted pest?

Try logging on to your email via the web browser (assuming the email account is gmail, yahoo, etc) and deleting the email from there. It could just be that the email program on the iPad is not properly synching with the web server so the email keeps re-downloading.

Please help! I synced my iphone 5 with itunes and it deleted all the current information I had on it and restored all info from my iphone 4. Can I recover the info I already had on my iphone 5?

I have had my Iphone 5 for a little while now and today I connected it to Itunes to download a movie to my phone. I thought I had to restore the phone so I restored it back to my iphone 4. I deleted all the new ringtones I just bought and I lost all photos and notes I had on my iphone 5. Is there a way to unsync?? Is there a way to recover what I lost. I downloaded wondershare but I can't recover from an Iphone 5 and I hadn't synced the iphone 5 with itunes until today but again i restored it back to iphone 4 data.

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

I doubt the phone is locked to GCI in any way
Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

I Deleted my icloud account and then deleted a game for space I then downloaded it again and all data was lost but I have an itunes backup on my pc before all data was deleted can I restore my ipad to that date and get my data back the game is deerhunter

So on Deer Hunter 2014 I had all my data but before that I changed my apple id email so I deleted my old icloud and logged in again. So after that I deleted Deer Hunter 2014 for some temporary space and then redownloaded it again, all my data was gone and I was back to the beggining but before this incident I backed up my Ipad on itunes on my pc. Can I use this backup to restore my data to that point in time if not is there a way I can (I did not purchase anything in the game so I cant restore purchases).
Thanks in advanced

Its solved I just restored it to that point

I'm organising my Aperture library today and I'm going to go through my photos folder, import the images to Aperture and then delete the original folders. Just curious if deleting the source folders is a big no-no or not.

Topic title basically sums it up.

Alright. For my case was, my source files are inside the Document folders. Since importing the pictures into Aperture, deleting the source files/folders did not cause any problems with Aperture.
Whether it is a good idea or would depend on how comforatble you are with the idea in the first place. On one hand you can save up precious hard disk space, while on the other if the Aperture library gets corrupted, you might lose everything. Of course, having a backup of the Aperture library helps, as well as a time machine backup of it. On top of that you can also have an Aperture Vault to backup the library to a external drive.
In summary i think a reasonlable backup plan is just as important regardless of whether or not the source file is in which location. For my case, i only have the Aperture library as all of my source. A time machine backs up everything including my library, in addition to that, i also use Aperture Vault to back up to another external drive just in case.
