i am trying to free up room on my laptop and want to delete all my movies off the harddrive but do not want to loose them in icloud

Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

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 photos from my iPhone but keep them in iCloud? I.e. I want more than just a backup of what's on my phone, I want selective storage of my photos. Can iCloud do that?

Hi,
Can I use iCloud as photo storage rather than just backup? Right now, it just syncs the photos from my iPhone. I want to delete some photos from my phone, but keep them in the cloud.
I also want to be able to adjust the settings of certain folders in iPhoto to do different things.
I.e. I have a "work" folder in my photos app on my iphone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in dropbox and be erased from my iPhone.
I have a "family" folder in my photos app on my iPhone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in iCloud and erased from my iPhone.
Finally, why can't I log into iCloud from anywhere and see my photos? For example, when I go to my friend's house, I want to be able to log into iCloud from his computer and show him photos that are no longer saved on my phone, but rather stored in the cloud.
Would I be better off with dropbox, flickr, or Amazon for something like that?
Thanks!
Amy

If you have the photos on your computer a great way to test is to remove your phone from your computer and see if the photos are still on it; if they are still on your computer you are free to do so
Also when you are importing photos from the device to iPhoto you should get the option to delete after importing

Set iPhoto to automatically import photo stream photos to your iPhoto library:
Once imported, deleting them from your photo stream will not delete them from your library. If they aren't imported yet, contol-click on the photos and choose Import.

How do I delete songs from iTunes Match while keeping them in my computer's iTunes library?

So I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but I can't seem to find an answer specifically relevant to my issue. I have a playlist on my computer entitled "Christmas Music" in which I store all of my holiday songs (about 64 songs out of over 6,000). Now that the Christmas season is over, I no longer want to listen to these songs, so I have unchecked them all in my iTunes library. However, because I am subscribed to iTunes Match, the songs all still play when I have my music shuffled on my phone—iTunes Match apparently doesn't care whether they are checked in your library or not; it will still sync them across all your devices and play them during shuffle mode regardless.
The solution would be for me to somehow remove these particular songs from iCloud so they no longer play in iTunes Match. However, I would still like to have the songs in my iTunes library so that I could listen to them again in the future during the appropriate time of year. I can only seem to find instructions on how to delete the songs permanently from both my iTunes Library and iCloud, when all I really want to do is delete them from iCloud.
Is there a way for me to do this that doesn't involve permanently losing any of my songs? Please help.

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:

HT1689 how do i delete songs from my iTunes and have them also delete from my iPhone using iCloud

When i delete songs from my iTunes list the songs remain on my iPhone even though i have i Cloud

From your last post, it sounds as if you're hoping to stream music to your iPhone (and your computer) from iCloud, so when you delete songs from iCloud, they will also be deleted from your iPhone.
iTunes Match sort of does that, but not quite, as the songs you have played on an iOS device get stored there.
Here's a snippet from the iTunes Match writeup located at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

How do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?

how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

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.
