HOw DO I delete apps to create more storage so I can back up

HOw can I delete apps to create more storage or delete videos or photos from iphone. I have deleted some from my Mac desk top already. They should be deleting on all devices,right. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP

If you're talking about backing up to iCloud, deleting Apps is almost irrelevant. Apps aren't backed up to iCloud. App Data is, but that's usually a small amount. Plus, you can control what gets backed up to iCloud. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > This Device. Then, turn off whatever data you don't want backed up to iCloud. Usually, Photos & Videos take up the most space.
You can turn that off, and simply import your Photos & Videos to your computer for safekeeping.
Also, you can increase your iCloud storage from the free 5GB to +10 GB ($20/year), +20 GB ($40/year) or +50 GB GB ($100/year).

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

How do you delete apps in the cloud storage

I have apps which are stored in the cloud but cant get in to cloud to delete them can anyone help me thanks.

If you mean you want to delete them from your purchased list, you can't. They aren't stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store (which is called "iTunes in the Cloud").

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

What is 'Other' and 'Backups' on my HD? How can I delete them to create more space?

Other and Backups take up the majority (235GB) of my 250GB HD and leave me with little room for anything else. I have moved iTunes, iMove and iPhoto to an external harddrive. What are they and can I delete them to create more space? Please help.

"Backups" are local snapshots created by Time Machine. You don't need to delete them; that happens automatically when necessary. Consider them as equivalent to free space, which is in fact how the Finder reports them.
As for the "Other" category, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.

To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.

If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

How do I delete apps on my macbook pro?

Depends on the application...some you can simply drag to the trash, but with most it is best to use an uninstaller provided by the author of the software. Many of the larger applications place files in numerous locations, libraries, etc. So you need to know everywhere a file has been placed. An uninstaller should go get those files and remove them.

How do I delete apps from iCloud?

You can't at this time. Apple FAILED to permit iCloud user with ability to delete programs that you deleted from your iPad/iPhone devices. As great iCloud is just know that if you download an app and don't like it you stuck with it in the cloud dispute you deleting it from your device.
APPLE, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS? At least make it a belated Christmas gift to you fellow Apple clients. PLEEEEEEASSSSSSE! Thank you!

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps = Off / On
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.
