How do i see what is stored on icloud to delete some of it?

I am struggling to work out how to access icloud and manage what I have stored there - there are images and apps that I want to delete but can't seem to get into it and edit.
Hellllp!

You can manage iCloud storage on iCloud-enabled devices.
On iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage. This shows you the items stored on your iCloud account, the total space and available space (at the bottom). To delete the data stored by any app, tap the app's name, then tap "Edit" in the upper right hand corner.
On Mac OS X devices, go to System Preferences > iCloud > and click on "Manage..." in the bottom right. The list of apps and how much data they store is the left column, and clicking on an app displays the data it stores, and allows you to delete that data.
Images and applications you have purchased or synced through iCloud (such as iTunes in the Cloud, purchased items, and Photo Stream) do not count against your iCloud storage.

How can I see what's stored in iCloud?

So I'm new to Apple and I'm a bit confused. I just did a search for something on my new rMBP in Spotlight and a whole load of files that I have on my PC, my work PC and a memory stick I used with my MBP the other day appeared in Spotlight, despite the fact I never copied them onto my MBP or (knowingly) made any choice to add them to iCloud, but that's evidently where they are.
So how do I manage what gets put on iCloud? I don't want these particular files in iCloud or on my MBP as they are old backups of things I did on my PC that I don't need anymore.
TBH it's mainly an OCD thing on my part, but any help would be appreciated!

iCloud only hosts your iCloud email, and syncs contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, safari bookmards and tabs, photo stream photos, and documentes and data from apps that are specifically designed to sync data with iCloud, such as iWork applications and TextEdit and Preview on your Mac. (You can see which ones are syncing data with iCloud by going to System Preferences>iCloud and clicking "Options" next to Documents & Data.) It isn't a cloud-based file storage service like DropBox, Skydrive, Box, etc.
Unless the files from your PC were in one of these categories and your PC was signed into your account and syncing with iCloud, the files didn't get to your Mac using iCloud.

My Apple TV memory is getting full. How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

My Apple TV memory is getting full. How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

Apps cannot be removed much less added to the device.
Only content from the iTunes store (movies, tv shows, music) can be added/removed on the 1st Gen ATV.
Again, the 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVS have no onboard storage for content and would generate no such message.
Just curious, has your ATV been jailbroken? If it has, no support can be provided via these forums.

1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

How can I see what is in my iCloud and on iPad and remove some stuff on on iPod mini

How can I see what is in my iCloud and maybe remove some from my iPad mini

You have to sign into your iCloud account at icloud.com from a computer to view your iCloud data. Also, be careful not to delete data from your phone that is being synced to iCloud or it will delete if from iCloud too. (For example, if you delete a contact from your phone with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On it will remove the contact from iCloud too.)

How do i see what photos are in icloud?
I have duplicate photos appearing in my photo library and in another folder underneath the photo library on my Iphone5. This is killing my free space and i cant delete them from the phone because I dont have that option within those folders. How do i delete them?

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How can i see(view) my photos in iCloud before deleteing it?

how can i see(view) my photos in iCloud before deleteing it?

What photos, photos in your photo stream? If so, these can only be viewed:
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what is in your iCloud storage at settings > iCloud > manage, however this has nothing to do with iTunes or your music.
To sync music from your computer, make sure the device is connected to iTunes, choose the device from the device list, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want to sync and click the 'Sync' button.

HT4859 How can I see what I backed to iCloud or iTunes?

How can I see what is backed up to my iCloud? Pictures are what I am trying ti find.

Your photo stream photos will appear on your iPad in the my photo stream album; photos from the last 30 days will still be in iCloud but cannot be seen on icloud.com.
Camera roll photos are only in iCloud as part of your iCloud backup. However, you can't see them unless you restore the entire backup to your device.

HT4847 How can I see what is in my iCloud backup

How can I see whatis backed up on my iCloud

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage

From my PC how can I see what is stored in my cloud? Reason is I want to move an audio books from my Ipad to Iphone. I am new to the Apple products.

I am new to apple products. Have a Window 7 PC, I phone 4s and Ipad . I want to move an audio book purcahsed on the Ipad to my I phone so I signed up for the cloud because it said what I described above would be possible. How do I do it? Also, how can I see exactly what is in "my Cloud" and selectively downloard the bits and pieces of what is in m cloud to a particular device. Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

How do I see whats on my time capsule/or delete it completely? I haven't used it for 6 months, my wifi changed, and I want to start fresh with it.

I haven't used my Time Capsule in months. I have new wifi and forget my old login. How do I either see what's on it or wipe it clean? I want to make sure that its not making up regularly from my laptop.

Plug in by ethernet .. then you can find the wireless password and access the disk.
If you have no mac with an ethernet port buy the thunderbolt to ethernet.. well worthwhile purchase.
But TC are easy even with wireless.. reset it.. you can do a soft reset.. press in the reset button for 1 sec.. all passwords will go to default for 5min.. you can then access it and change them.. viola done.
You can factory reset it and just do a new clean setup.. you can see what is on the drive and erase it..
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.

HT4859 How can I see what in in my icloud backup?

Not all of my pictures were restored when reloading my iPad from a backup. Is there a way to see what was backed up to verify my pictures exist?

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".
