How do I remove 15,000 copies of a playlist?
Yesterday I created an empty playlist on my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1) and now there are more than 15,000 copies of that playlist on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That number appears to be growing.
I don't see a way to delete more than one playlist at a time, which would take days. Is there a way to delete many playlists all at once?
Just a followup -- the Automator action removed the empty playlist duplicates from my Mac, but the duplicates popped up on my iPhone and iPad again.
I left this marked as corrected since I did find a way to delete the duplicates on the Mac.

How can I remove greyed out copies of purchased songs on iPhone
I have tried everything to try to remove these from my phone and I can't seem to get them to go away. Only certain songs do this. They don't show up in the music on my phone, they just seem to take up space and really bother me, and I would really like to know how to get rid of them. Thanks.
I just bought the new Kid Cudi album and it shows up like this now in my iPhone on iTunes. The extra greyed out copy doesn't go on my phone, it just takes up space on my phone and gets in the way on the computer. I really would like to know how to fix this.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?
How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive
As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How do i remove local copies of my iCloud files from my iPhone?
I have a 32GB iPhone 5. I've been using iCloud since its beginning and it does a great job of keeping everything in sync across all devices, but the more I use it, the more I see it taking up space. How do I remove all of the local/hard copies of my iCloud files from my device without deleting them from iCloud, also? Particularly, i've noticed that, in Keynote on iOS, my presentations will have the cloud icon, showing that they are available for download, but not actually on my device... once i download a presentation to my phone, how to i remove the actual file from my phone, while keeping my icloud copy available for future download? I would love to be able to do this with all of my iWork files on iOS, as it would save me a few gigs of data storage on my iPhone.
in similar fashion, is there a way to remove the local files from my Photostream on my iPhone, while keeping them available to view in a "streaming" fashion? As it is now, if i take an HDR photo and save the HDR and the standard to my camera roll, it then uploads both images to Photostream, which is great, but then i have another copy of both images stored locally on my phone in my photostream folder... this means if i hit the shutter once i wind up with four 8MP images stored on my device... that adds up fast. I understand that people want the security of knowing they have a hard copy backup, but I would love to have the option, at least, to keep my photo stream from being stored on my iPhone/iPad... I want to be able to stream my pictures, just like i stream my music with iTunes Match. Does this make sense? Does this option already exist and i've just missed it?
Any help with either of these will be a HUGE help, and very appreciated.Verizon Wireless Customer Support wrote:
Hi, rhart-
Like commonsense101 stated, you can forward the text messages to your email address, that typically does not include the original timestamp, but it's still a good way to keep special texts. If in regards to legal situations, a court order may be obtained for those records as well.
Thank you,

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

How do I remove/uninstall foxfire without going through 10,000 options
How do I remove/uninstall foxfire without going through 10,000 options
I am having exactly the same problem with my eMac. I tried to use the Find function as was suggested, but was not able to come across anything labeled ".ComcastBoot" The Comcast folks had no explanation other that telling me that this is some file or something that the computer created during installation.
It is frustrating to have to do a Force Quit to shut down. I did notice that doing a force quit does not affect the internet service and the .ComcastBoot icon does not return to the desktop unless the computer is restarted.
Might there be any other suggestions?

How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?
How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems: 1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize. 2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.
If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer. -
how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space. -
How do i remove my wife's iphone contacts from my iphone?
As a family we have three iphones and two ipads. So I recently bought an imac to make things easier instead of our old pc. but in the process of setting it up, i imported all my contacts from my iphone and ipad onto the icloud and as a result, they appeared in my husband's iphone - he had around 100 contacts, and now has around 3,000 with mine too. I am now in serious trouble with my husband as he cannot find his own small contacts quickly. How can i remove my contacts from his phone? and will he lose all his contacts if he deletes them all from his phone?
Are you using the the same icloud id. you can also look to the right on this forum you'll see More Like This - there might be a solution.

How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone
How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone
Should be pretty easy as follows:
1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
That should do it.
Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.

How do I remove Aperture trial and go back to iPhoto (be kind, I'm new).
How do I remove the Aperture trial and go back to iPhoto. For my usage (just iPhone pics/movies) iPhoto is okay for me, but now I cannot figure out how to remove Aperture, when I drag to Trash I get a warning that Aperture is a system file.
