How do I remove old backups from my iPhone?

I have a fairly full iPhone 5.  When I look at my iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, it shows backups from 2 old computers that I no longer use.  I need only one of the three backup files my phone is holding.  Note: I am not asking how to go into iTunes and delete old backups.  I need to delete them from the actual phone.

The three backups I refer to in my original question are listed in Wi-Fi Sync as backups that are waiting to complete.  The list is 3 computers my iPhone has been used with.  I no longer use 2 of these computers, so I no longer need these backups.  They are ONLY listed on my phone not in iTunes so I cannot delete them in iTunes.  They are on my phone as backups that are waiting for me to reconnect to those computers to complete.

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content.  For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end.  Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists.  The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed.  Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod).  Click Music there.  To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with one or more songs selected.
    You can also use the iPod's "management" screen.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music.  This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

  • How do I remove a backup from Time Capsule?

    How do I remove a backup from Time Capsule? It is taking up 250 GB on the capsule and I wish to remove it.
    I do not wish to erase the Time capsule since I have another backup on there I wish to keep.

    Then you use the TM application to manage the backups. See:
    A  whole  lot  about  Time  Machine for help with TM problems.  Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM.  See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

  • How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

    The thief who steals or finds your phone will thank you also, having access to all of your personal information, like all of your contacts, who can now be spammed as if the message came from you. Your friends may not be as happy, however. And think of the fun the thief can have updating your Facebook page, and tweeting from your identity. The thief will probably also have enough personal information about you to steal your identity.

  • HT4915 How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud?

    How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud? I don't want to remove the song from my library, just my iPhone.

    If you're using iTunes Match, currently this is not possible.  For some reason the ability to remove individual songs was removed with iOS 6.  All you can do is delete all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage, tapping Music, swipping across All Music and tapping Delete), then redownload the music you want on your phone from iTunes Match.
    If you're not using iTunes match you could try swipping across the title of the song and seeing if the option to Delete appears.  Not sure if this is still possible for non-iTunes Match users.
