Help! I need to delete content

I have an older model PB G4 with a 40 GB HDD that is almost completely full. I need to free up disc space but the content i can see (pictures, Videos, Music) only accounts for about 10 GB. Where can I look for the space eating content, and how will I know if it can be safely deleted?

There are utilities that will tell you what is using up your hard drive. Try these free ones:
OmniDisk Sweeper
DiskInventory X
GrandPerspective
I didn't check which ones still run on a PowerBook, but just check the sites or download and see. Hopefully at least one will.

I registered the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled and now want to change it. Help is needed to delete the account and start anew.

I registered the the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled the account name. I accidentally spelled blackberry instead of blackbird. How can I change this?

If you don't want to use an alias you'll have to create a new account as you cannot change the @icloud.com address once created. You'll have to create a new ID, verify the ID, then use the ID to create the new account, and migrate your iCloud data to the new account.
If you are currently syncing data with iCloud, begin by saving any photo stream photos to your camera roll as mentioned above. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also need to open each of them and email them to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then in Settings>iCloud tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom, set up your new ID, verify the email address you use to create it by responding to Apple's verification email, then sign in with the new ID to create your new account. Turn on your iCloud sync settings and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to create your new @icloud.com email address. Be carefull to type it correctly as it cannot later be changed.

Help , I need to delete pics off my iPad that were left on it from the previous owner !

I bought my iPad used from someone , they thought they had deleted their pics that were on the iPad but it turns out they had not and I cannot figure out how to delete them ? This is taking up all the memory on my iPad and creating a major issue , does anyone know what to do ?

What should have been done: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
And what you may still want to do to start fresh.

Nothing happens when i touch Manage Storage. I ned to delete content to free more memory.

Nothing happens when I touch Manage Storage in iCloud on My iPhone. I need to delete content to free more memory.

Because that manages cloud storage, not storage on the phone itself.

No need to delete contents of alertlog.

HT4972 I cannot back up my IPad because I have a corrupted backup. I need to delete it but cannot locate it on my computer or find help on this topic. I would appreciate any help.

I cannot back up my IPad because I have a corrupted backup that I need to delete. The problem is I cannot locate the file to delete it. How do you locate the backup file?

You have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (on a PC 'Help > Check For Updates' ; on a Mac 'iTunes > Check For Updates') ? You could also try ejecting the iPad and rebooting your PC and the iPad : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you still get the same error then check whether it has actually deleted the backup (if you have other devices that you backup to that computer then they will also have backups) - they are stored under :
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Please Help,I made new account then remembered old one.need to delete new

Please Please help . so complicated . ok i had an apple id but couldn't remember id n password so i made a new one . old one has all my music . old one has an old email that i can't access . after i made new one i remembered the old one . i want the old one cause it has alot of purchased music on it . thing is , my current email is now assosiated with new id . cant use same id with both so i need to delete new account so i can add my email to old account . How in the world do I delete the new apple id ? Please help me

This is a user-to-user forum. Nobody here can delete anything for you.
But - even if you contacted apple/itunes, I don't think they will delete it, either. Just don't use the new one, is my advice. It's a huge hassle over the years to have to remember the login credentials for 2 accounts.

Help needed to DELETE a System created with Logical Components assigned.

Hi,
I created a system in SMSY in my Solution Manager system. I unknowingly assigned the system to Logical Components. Now on finding that it was a worng way of configuration I need to DELETE the system and recreate it using the option "Create new system with assistant."
Please help me in resolving the issue. I am not getting an option from the were used list to delete the assignment of the system.
Expecting a reply at the earliest.
Regards,
Vineeth

Dear friend
You can remove the system from the logical component by clicking on display/change and removing the SID from the system assignments,
just select the blank field from F4 help.
Once you have removed the system from the logical component, you will be able to delete the system.

Please Help! I need to delet "Fellow member" on Sk...

Please Help!
I need to delete a "Fellow member" on the Skype manager. I don't know what is "Skype manager" and why the user Greiman Gomez Garcia (scanman113) is registered there, I DON'T KNOW HIM.
I already have seen the screens on the FQA, but I never can get to those.
I'm logging on web.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Hi, moremay, and welcome to the Community,
Your report reads as if your account may have been compromised. Can you still sign in to your account dashboard? If yes, check that the account's registered e-mail address is accurate and valid. Then, change your account's password - I prefer to do this from within the Skype software itself. After this, you can contact Skype Customer Service to close the "Skype Manager" set-up.
If you can not access your account, create a new account to use in order to contact Skype Customer Service and to recover your first account, as well as to disengage the "Skype Manager" which account hackers tend to use when they hack accounts.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

Please help I need to rest the deleted history

Please help I need to rest the deleted history

rest??
Did you mean "restore"?
Sorry, if you deleted your browsing history it is gone. No backups are made for browsing history, unless you have that set that up in a 3rd party application. Or if you have a backup of the places.sqlite file, which is where that data is stored in Firefox.
