  • How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone?

    How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone!

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

    How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded.  I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
    What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
    You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
    I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
    I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
    Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
    Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
    If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
    Hope that clarifies a bit.

    Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

  • How do I delete email account from iCloud advance?

    Hi,
    My iCloud email is merged with two other alien email accounts in my advance iCloud account information on my device, how do I delete those accounts?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Utch.
    I suspect you might be referring to your iCloud email aliases, which can't be seperated so far as the inbox is concerned. You might consider making some mail rules to move them into different folders.

  • HT4098 How do i delete a account if i have set up two with the same email address?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • Prompted to sing in iCloud and iMessages every time i turn on Mac Book Pro

    In the last few weeks, every time I turn on my Mac Book Pro, I get a pop up asking me to sign into iCloud and I messages. After doing so, I go to my Messages-Preferences and Accounts to ensure my iMessages is active and it is not so I have to re-enter my Apple id . Once entered, iMessages is activated but when I go to Account - Details, it asks me a window comes up and says, To view account information of (iMessage ), enter Apple ID; I do enter my ID then a pop up comes up with "account details"  It lists my username and below two spaces for my password which has dots to represent characters. I know that password is not my current ID password as it is shorter. When I type in my current password, it tells me I must use a password I have not used in the past year. I don't understand? IT is not like I am changing a password because I have not clicked on the button below called " manage Apple ID; where i can change password etc". 
    Anyone can help me on this?
    I would be happy to insert snap shots of the windows but don't know how to do so using my macbook, only my iPhone at this time.

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • How can I shut off built in camera and use another one?

    I'm trying to use one of Apple's older auxillary cameras to shoot auditions.People will sit on the other side of my computer.
    I plug it into my Imac, but the system doesn't recognize it and I continue to see only
    myself. How can I turn the other camera on?

    With the external (Firewire) iSight connected, (do not chain external iSight with other Firewire devices) if your  > System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire does not recognize the external iSight, use the suggestions here to test whether your old iSight is still functional:
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    Once your system recognizes both cameras, be sure to rotate the ring at the front lens cover of the external iSight clockwise to turn it on and open the lens shutter.
    With more than one working camera recognized by your system, most camera-capable applications have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.  For example:
    • iMovie 9 ('11) uses a choices bar in the "Import from Camera" window:
    More info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    • For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    • Photo Booth uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.  Remember, camera choice for any app will be available only if more than one working camera is recognized by your system.  With only one camera, the choices will not be visible.
    • For FaceTime,if your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    • QuickTimeX uses Preferences to select between connected cameras.
    QTX video Preference settings are visible only when you have a new video recording window open. The image below shows how to access QTX video Preferences from an open video recording window:
    Note that only one webcam (iSight) is shown in this image because I had only one camera connected to my Mac at the time. When more than one compatible camera is connected, you will see the additional camera name and can select it in this menu.
    •  For cameras connected via Flash browser plugins, control-click on an open video window and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera:

    • For other apps, check the app's menu items or Help to find out how to select between connected cameras.

  • How to delete email account on iCloud

    How do i delete a email account on icloud and put in a new one ?

    If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I keep having this problem too, no one seems to know how to fix it. Can't delete the account without turning off the 'find my iphone' app. Cant' turn it off without the ID....it's a vicious cycle.
