I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

Hey there TowneJ,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that’ll likely resolve the issue that you’ve described, where deleted files appear to be taking up space on your iPhone 5.
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
So long,

I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night. You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".
After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
- hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected".
Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content. Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it.
Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

buy an external HD 1TB for $60
NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
This does not always work though.

How can I clear the "Purchased" apps?

How can I clear the "Purchased" apps list from the "Not on This Iphone" list of the Updates section of the App Store on my Iphone 4?
There is no clear function. If I Erase All Content and Settings in General Settings will that do it? It'd be nice not to have to do that and erase all my data and media.

Nick, you had the right idea. Success! I changed my email address on my Apple ID. Then went to my Iphone and under Settings, iTunes & App Stores, press on AppleID: (I.D.inserted), Sign Out, Create New Apple ID. Used the original Apple ID email address to create a "new" Apple ID, going through the whole set up process again, including billing info. Then, when opening the App Store app there are no Purchased apps to display, because there are none on this "new" account. The old account still exists in Apple cyberspace, but it is not tied to my iPhone or iTunes anymore. There does not appear to be any way to delete an Apple ID. Maybe after a few centuries Apple will discard it. Maybe not.

Yes.
It's always useful to keep a backup copy as well in case things go wrong.
It's much quicker than having to download again.
You can keep it on hard drives, memory sticks or cards, DVDs etc.

How can I clear the clipboard?

Hi.
I'm working with images, I do different operations with image, after that I'm saving it (the path is the same), and I want to see the new image.
The problem is that when I create new object the path remain the same, and because of that Java uses clipboard and shows the old image and not the updated.
So, how can I clear the clipboard?

Maybe it isn't clipboard but cache?
so,how can I clear cache?

How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page?

Have some confidential docs that I don't want to appear when the program is launched. How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page and the "open recent" list? thx

It's not an option in the prefs. It's a hidden file that makes up part of the preference set (as far as I know, most, or all of the seetings you can adjust inside ID's prefences dialog are actually saved in the other half of the set, InDesign Defaults). For more information, see Replace Your Preferences

How can I clear the 0.03 on my apple ID?

Hi, please help, how can I clear the 0.03 on my Apple account? I do not want to buy anything else.

I assume that you want to change countries ? If you do and you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
