What is the "Other" category under storage and how can i delete items from this?

My disc is almost full. "About this Mac" says that I have 47 GB of "Other." What is this Other and how can I delete items from this?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

How can i delete Apps from my iCloud

I have downloaded some Apps that i didn't like and i deleted them from my IPad. But they are still in the iCloud. How can i delete these from the iCloud?

If you mean they are in your purchased list in iCloud, this can't be deleted. The iTunes and App stores keep a record of all your purchases. If you don't want to see them listed you can hide them if you want, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919. (Note: you can no longer hide purchases on an iOS device if you are running iOS 6 but you can still hide them on your computer.)

How can you delete items from the cloud?

I am trying to delete some items from the cloud but can't figure out how. Does anyone know how.

You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.
You have 3 options......
    1.    Purchase more iCloud storage.
    2.    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.
    3.    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.

How do i delete items from my icloud?

How do I delete unwanted photos and songs from my icloud?

To delete photo stream photos from iCloud, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the the trash icon. This will delete them from your phone, from iCloud, and from all your other devices.
You can't, however, delete music purchased from the iTunes store from iCloud as it is not stored in your iCloud account. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTunes store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. Also, Apple will not let you remove anything from your purchased list. You can, however, keep these from appearing in your song list on your phone by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning Music off under Show All.
