How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?
How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?
I have a pc, rather than a mac, but the process is the same from what i have read on the Apple website.
You can restore to original factory settings as ifyou never synced the ipad with a computer by going to settings >reset (last option on the menu) > erase all content and settings.
Youcan also do it by connecting your ipad to your computer and choosing toRestore it from the 'summary' menu (below the Update option). I wasnot able to do it this way because it kept timing out with the iPadsoftware update, but it might work for you.
These options may take a while if you have lots ofcontent but once it is done it will just as it was when you bought it,with factory settings.
NB: Note that this process will erase all content, so if you have purchased apps, music etc, be sure to transfer your purchases first!
This process has worked for me and I am now just syncing my ipad with my desktop instead of my laptop.
Hope this helps.

charles altmanReplying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

i can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?
These are iPad apps correct?
Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing apps>Off or Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content?
Are you sure that the Apps are selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad?
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on Install next to the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading to select it
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu. -

HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?
How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
<Email Edited by Host>To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing. -

On the iPad from the computer does not make sense. If you want to go from iPad to computer - connect the iPad, launch iTunes, right click the iPad name on the left under devices and select Transfer Purchases.
From the computer to the iPad .....
Sync with iTunes.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
Click on all of the movies that you want to sync to the iPad.
Click on the Sync Movies Heading.

How do you delete microsoft word from your Mac?
In september I got the 30 day trial for microsoft word, powerpoint, outlook, and excel. It's over now and I can't seem to delete it off of my mac air. I have done the two things that are normally suggested which are hold on to the app icon and then delete it when they all start wiggling, but that option doesn't work for those four because they don't show the delete sign in the corner. The other option was to drag it into my trash, but yet again, it doesnt work! Please someone help!
Google "remove MS Office 2011 for Mac". Which will come up with a MS site with detailed instructions to remove MS Office. Follow those instructions to the Letter.

How can i delete stock photos from my Mac that are on my iPhone?
When I first synced my iPhone 4S to my iTunes on my macbook pro, I got a bunch of stock photos and icons used on my computers. I cannot delete them on my iPhone like you would delete a normal photo; the option to delete the photos is disabled,
The pictures take up a lot of space and I want to get rid of them.
I just updated to iOS7 and my iTunes has not been updated lately.
There are 488 of these photos and they are in an album called "last import- from my mac"ercueter wrote:
I have over 6GB of data taken up by old photos that I do not need. I can not figure out how to delete them because I downloaded them to my iphone from my ipod. is there a way to delete them without restoring my phone?
Do you mean that you synced them from iTunes to your iPhone? If so, you have to sync to iTunes again and change the selected synced photos. -
How do I delete junk email from my Mac pro ?
HHow can I delete the junk emails from my Mac Pro ? And to delete all of them please
Not with a Classic operating system. Mac OS X Mail has built-in Junk mail filtering. It isn't the greatest in the world, but it works. Here's how:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Change the junk mail filter
Without an actual description of your operating system, it is impossible to give you the exact article for your system. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the correct forum:

How do I delete a program from my mac air?
How do I delete programs from my mac air?
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How do I delete a program from my Mac
I downloaded and used Lightroom 3 trial version and now want to erase the program from my MAC.
Here's some general reading on the subject:
The X Lab: Uninstalling applications
For many of its producs Adobe provides uninstallers. Didn't Lightroom have one? Maybe it's a preference pane. Maybe it's in Applications or Utilities.
t probably installed the Light Room application in /Applications so tossing that will remove the app but these things also usually install other stuff which is why I would think they would provide an uninstaller.
There are generic uninstall utilities (AppCleaner, AppZapper, CleanApp, AppDelete, etc.) which may root out some of the other stuff but probably not all. -
