A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.

Just make certain that the "Originals" or "Masters" are in your iPhoto Library before you trash the images.
You can find out by selecting the iPhoto Library file with the control key held down, then open the Library (which is, actually, a folder). You'll see a folder named "Originals" or "Masters" and you can check there to make certain that you have all of the high-res images in your iPhoto Library. If you do, you can safely trash the original files, although I would, if it were me, make an archive of the images before trashing (either on an external HD or on archival DVDs).
Make sense?

Why did deleted photos reappear on iPhone but I can't delete them now? They are not in my albums or photos stream. I do not use a laptop either. After a software upgrade they suddenly reappeared.

I have an iPhone and iPad & use the cloud. I do not use a Mac or laptop.
Several months ago I deleted a bunch of photos off both devices. After a software update on my iPhone, several of those photos reappeared. Since the update, there is a new way to look at photos by date and the appear there and only there on my iPhone only. They do not show up under the camera or photo stream. There is no option to be delete them from the phone.
I didn't do the software update on my iPad and they are on on that device, only the iPhone. I went to the apple store but they couldn't figure it out either.
Please help! My new boyfriend is going crazy about these old beau photos.

YOu restore your phone from your icloud backup.

If you want to be able to view, edit and export from Lightroom you can move the files using your computer OS (explorer or finder) and update the folder location by right-clicking on the folder name in the LR Library. See fig 8 at the attached link:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
This will work when the thumb drive is connected.
If you really have no need to keep these files off-line in LR then simply move the files, select all the thumbnails in the LR Library and hit delete. Then choose remove.

HT201317 if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices. You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space. However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently). If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space. If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.

I transferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete them on the phone and cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer?

I trasferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete these pictures from my phone, and i cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer as the pictures do not show up in my files on the computer, how can i remove them i have over 400 pictures that need removing?

If you have a Mac with iPhoto, plug the iPhone in and open iPhoto. Choose to import the photos. Once they have been imported, there should be an option to "Remove Imported Photos from Device". Choose this.

Files transferred from external hard drive (backed up from pc) are locked. Can't unlock & can't delete them from Mac now.

I just picked up a new Mac and have been trying to transfer files backed up to an external hard drive from a PC. I was able to transfer some of the files without issue, but most of the files show that they are locked. Now that they are on the Mac I can't unlock or delete them.

HT201317 i had photo stream on my 4s running 5.0 after updating to ios 6 i seem to have lost them how can i get them back if they are not in my photo appnow?

im not even sure they are on icloud and if they are i do not know how to access them please help

Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from photo stream but will remain on your device. However, if you update your phone then reconnect to your photo stream, you will only get the photos from the last 30 days as the others are no longer there.
Always back up your photos to your computer while they are in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Deleted some contacts...can I get them back if they are not in my backups?

I used an app that let's you delete a ton of contacts at once, I think it was called Cleanup.
Now when I conntected my phone to my computer after deleting a few thousand contacts outlook synced my computer's contacts with my iPhone (not sure if this is regular) and so all of my contacts that got deleted from my phone also got deleted from my computer and now I'm missing contact info from about 3,000 of my clients.
I downloaded a backup recovery program but only 2 backups showed up and both contained the address book I currently have. Is there any other way I can get my contacts back?

According to this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 Contacts are not included in the backup. Only the settings for Mail, Contacts, Calendars accounts. It's not worded very well, but that's what it means. The information regarding the accounts are synced to is backed up, not the contacts themselves. Contacts are intended to be synced with an address book or cloud service. There is only enough contact information in the backup to maintain the "Phone Favorites" list. (the emphasis below is mine).
Backed-up information includes purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books*; photos and video in the Camera Roll; device settings (for example, Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts); app data; Home screen and app organization; Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and more. Media files synced from your computer aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.

All of my pictures on my mac synced to my iphone and it will not let me delete them from my iphone. What can I do?

So when I updated to the ios8, all 2800 pictures on my mac synced to my phone and now it is taking up a ton of space on my phone and it wont let me delete them or the album... has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

You have to delete them same you put them there, which is to connect your phone to your Mac and uncheck them via iTunes.

HT201493 Can you delete a friend once they are added?

In the Find My Friends app, once you accept a friend for notifications can you later delete that friend? Or must you hide from everyone?

Emails are not being deleted form iCloud when I delete them from Mail

I am having trouble with not being deleted on the iCloud server when I delete them on my Mac. If I delete them from iCloud they disappear from my Mac but if I delete from my Mac they stay on iCoud and then reappear on Mac.
On both iCloud and Mac I have preferances set to move deleted messages to the trash.
any help would be appreciated.

You don't need to delete photos from your camera roll to save on backup sizes, you can turn individual items on and off for back up in your iCloud back up settings.
Apple States that the last 3 back ups are accessible, which means the photos from your back up may not be removed immediately.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

HT4994 i did the recent upgrade for my iphone 4s (ios6) and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back? They are stored on my pc on microsoft outlook

I did the ios6 upgrade on my iphone 4s and lost all my contacts. Can I get them back? They are stored on my pc on microsoft outlook. thanks

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.
