How can I delete some data so I can back my iPhone up to the icloud

I want to back my iPhone up to the icloud. How can I delete some data

DO NOT start iTunes. Connect your phone to a computer and then access the photo folder, should be the only folder that will appear when you access your phone through the file explorer.  You are looking for the DCIM folder.  Open it and then either copy the photos to a folder on your computer if you want to save them.  Then you can delete them from your phone.
Or you can simply go into Pictures, Open the folder you want to empty out, Tap Select, Tap the pictures (Sorry but you have to touch each one) and then tap the trash can.
And remember that if anyone has messaged you a picture it will be in Messages and also taking up room.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • How do I view the songs on my iPod and how do I delete some songs and pictures that are on my iPod through the new iTunes

    I just bought an iPod off of a friend andher ex put alot of terrible music and pictures on it and I want to delete some music but I can't see what is on The iPod through the iTunes so I can erase music. So all I wanna know is how do I see and erase the stuff on my iPod using iTunes on my lab top

    If you have iTunes 11 on your laptop then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to connect the iPod and it should show on that left-hand sidebar, and underneath it should be a Music section e.g. similar to :
    Select that and the music should be shown on the right-hand side of iTunes, which you can then use to delete it.
    You should be able to remove all content from the iPod directly on it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings, as any apps etc that are on it will be tied to the previous owner's id - that will also remove any photos from the iPod

  • I have lost all my documents and previous downloads after syncing mac with my ipad4. Is there a way to retrieve the lost data. I have backed up my laptop on the icloud

    I have lost all my documents and downloads after syncing my macpro with the Ipad4. I do backup my devices on the icloud can I retrieve the lost documents?

    You lost them from the iPad, or from the Mac(Book) Pro?
    If you lost them from the iPad, yes, you can restore your last backup from iCloud. Settings - iCloud - Backup - Restore.
    Note that you can always re-download apps from the App Store, and music from the iTunes Store, for free, if they are accidentally deleted.

  • How can I sync app data (e.g. game status) from iphone to iPad using iCloud?

    I just got the new iPad, and would like to continue some of the games from my iphone. I have downloaded these previously purchased apps from the app store, but is there anyway I could sync the game data from my iphone to m ipad using icloud? It only works for some games where I could sync games status with icloud (which means i can play on whichever device and progress is saved in icloud), is there a way for all apps to haave this? I dont want to restore my ipad as my iphone.

    I have just started using game center on my iPad 2. I had previously been playing Temple Run on my iPhone, once I had logged in on both devices my achievements from my phone transferred to my iPad but not the points I had accumulated for power ups etc in the store.
    If the only way to transfer game progress is to restore from a back up how come my achievements have synced across? Isn't there a way to sync store points across as well?
    There seems to be a lot of people on this forum asking the same question so I hope someone out there can help!

  • How to delete some date in target table at a mapping?

    How to delete some date in target table at a mapping?
    I extract date from source tabel into target table,
    but before extract date I want to delete some date from target?
    how to do?

    Just to change a bit of terminology in the reply, within the mapping, click on operator properties and choose TRUNCATE/INSERT.
    Note that truncate is dependent on constraints, so you probably must disable those before doing this. You can of course do DELETE/INSERT...

  • I have an iphone  4 8gig there is 2.4 gig of "other" showing on my usage which is more than all oter data on the phone.  What is it and how do I delete some to clear space?

    I have an iphone 4 8gig there is 2.4 gig of "other" showing on my usage which is more than all other data on the phone.  What is it and how do I delete some to clear space?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • How can i delete some books from ibook?

    How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

    I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.  This seems to be what worked for me.  I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen.  I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time)  Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel".  I chose "delete" and the book was gone.  Hope this helps.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

  • How can I delete old data in citadel

    How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

    Hi there,
    I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
    a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
    b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
    Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
    c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
    b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
    Hope this helps
    Roland
    PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

  • HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

    HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

    You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

    How to reduce the size of file after delete some datas?

    Hi,
    What BDB release are you using? If it's one of the latest releases, then what you are looking for is the DB->compact() method:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_01/html/api_reference/C/dbcompact.html
    The DB->compact() method compacts Btree, Hash, and Recno access method databases, and optionally returns unused Btree, Hash or Recno database pages to the underlying filesystem. Please let me know if it helps.

  • How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

    How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application.     Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb  

    This is ridiculous!
    Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
    I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
    This is bad for:
    1. The user (me)
    2. The app developer - lost download.
    3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
    Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

  • I want to free up pc disk space. Can i delete app data/files from my pc now I use iCloud??

    Hi
    I have not been able to find a relevant thread, if there is one please direct me.
    Sorry if my use of jargon/process is not that clear.
    I am using iCloud.
    Can I, and how do I, delete app data from my laptop and keep all apps running normally and still on my ipad and ipod as they currently are?
    My computer is overflowing and I see iCloud as a chance to clear some hard disk space.
    If i delete the apps from my itunes browser on PC then it deletes them from my entire Itunes account. Can I just go into my itunes folder and delete the base application files?
    If I remove files/apps and I sync my devices using my pc for music/video/photos etc then will it pick up that the apps and app data is missing from my pc?
    Thanks in advance

    Im trying to get an answer to this same question. My poor pc is almost out of hard drive space bc of all the iphone backups pre icloud. I want to know if I go into the itunes file on my pc and delete all those files will they still be safe considering they are on icloud now? Its frustrating bc I cant seem to get an answer to this question. Have you come across any information on this issue since posting this question? Thanks so much!
