iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

When I start up my computer, I get a window that pops up that says * AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found. it also says the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll. . What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

I am trying to manually Delete songs from my Ipad2, but when I delete it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song Completely?.

I am Manually Deleting Songs from my Ipad2, but when I press Delete, it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song completely?.

The cloud icon means that the songs are only in the cloud, they aren't stored on your iPad. You can turn off the showing of songs that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'. If you want to some cloud songs to show but not all then you can hide the ones that you don't want via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

Each window that I open stays open on the screen. How can I get rid of this "tiling"?

On an iMac G4 with OS 10.4.11, recently each window I open stays on the screen when I open files within them. This creates what I think is called "tiling." I must have given an erroneous command, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I hope someone can help.

Are you referring to Finder windows? Those are akin to Explorer windows on a PC.
If so, it is normal for them to stay open on the desktop when you open a file they display. If you mean they open a new window and clutter the desktop with tons of open windows, there is a fix for that.
Click once on the desktop so you are using Finder. On the top left, click "Finder - Preferences" Uncheck the box next to "Always open folders in a new window"
The change is immediate.
Hope that helps.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

When I type in a search bar from any site a drop box appears suggesting advertizing sites, how do I get rid of this!

It's not the usual drop down that lists the most recently searched for items.
It's like an ad that appears on top of that list. It's really annoying. I just updated Firefox and it started.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

What is the purpose of the double click? If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

Pop up window saying my startup disc is full, I may need to delete files. How do I get rid of this?

I just got this pop-up window tonight. How do I get rid of this?

You need to, you know, delete things to create some free space on your disk.
That doesn't mean you have to discard any data:
If you have data you haven't looked at in a long time and aren't likely to need regularly, you can burn it to CD or DVD or some other storage media and then delete it from your internal hard drive. You can still access it when needed, but it won't be taking up space on your hard drive.
A better but more expensive option is to purchase an external hard drive (as large as you can afford, with a FireWire-800 interface for best performance) and move as much as you can onto it. Your entire iTunes library is often a good choice as it tends to be full of movies, TV shows, and music videos which - together - tend to add up to a lot of disk space. The only downside is that you will be able to access that media only when you have the external drive attached, but if you spend a lot of time at your desk or otherwise in one spot with your laptop, it's not much of a downside.
You could also get a larger internal hard drive, of cours, but they're non-trivial to replace in recent Apple laptops.

My 'backup' is taking up a huge space on my hard drive but I have an external hard drive for my back ups - how do i get rid of this?

Please can you help - I have recently added an external hard drive to my Macbook so it can be used as a back up and storage to save space on my hard drive. I have deleted videos and photos from my hard drive but they are being replaced with 'backup'
how do i get rid of this ?
thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine makes local snapshots in all portable Macs with Lion or Mountain Lion. They are made in the internal drive and they are removed when your hard disk gets full, so you don't have to worry about it.
If you want to delete them, turn off Time Machine and turn it on every time you want to make a backup. You can also turn them off manually without having to turn off Time Machine, or you can delete those local snapshots > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
