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.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT4859 My phone was stolen. I synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from the cloud that are not in my photostream?

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

How do I remove calendar alerts on my iPhone that were added when I installed Mountain Lion

Just recently upgraded my Mac OS X to Mountain Lion. Did notice though that all-day events in my Calendar now have alerts. Was able to remove them from Calendar in my MacBook, but noticed that they're still there in my iPhone and iPad even after synchronizing these with my MacBook. Any suggestions on how to remove the alerts from all the all-day events without resorting to manually removing them one by one?

re: Mountain Lion adding default alerts that you can't get off you iPhone/iPad
Found a workaround that fixed the problem for me. All posts and other help did not work on my MacBook Pro/iPhone 4s/iPad 3....Here's what I did. First, exported each individual calendar to a .ics file on my desktop. Then removed all calendars. Then went to Calendar->Preferences->Alerts and selected "None, None, None". The check box for "use these default settings only on this computer" is checked and grayed out, so I could not change it. Then went to System Preferences->iCloud and unchecked Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data. Got the warning that it would delete data on MacBook but that's the only option, so I did it and did not seem to lose any data. Then opened iCal and imported each .ics file from the desktop. After that was done, I checked Calendar->Preferences->Alerts again and it had changed back to default alert at 9:00am, so I changed again to "None" . Then I went to iPhone and iPad and in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, changed Calendars->Default Alert Times-> to "None, None, None". Then on iPhone and iPad went to Settings->iCloud deselected same Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data. Restarted all...sync'd to iTunes, first time checking replace calendar data on iPhone and iPad (Bottom of "Info" tab)...Then sync'd again and all alerts are gone now on all devices and everything is working like it was using Snow Leopard. Takes a few steps and a little time, but this worked great for me and no issues since.
One thing to mention is that I tried all these steps without deselecting "Documents and Data" in iCloud settings, and it didn't work. Had to do each step in above order to get things the way they were before Mountain Lion.

HT4623 when you restore games from your iPod touch that are backed up to the cloud, does it restore your game play history as it was at the last backup?

grandson loaded up the iPad touch we gifted him. iTunes (he uses a PC at home) says to restore factory settings. we understand that will wipe data from iPod touch - but we did confirm his "Minecraft" app and a half-dozen others were backed up as recently as 1 pm today. If we restore to factory settings, then "restore" his iPod from the iCloud back up, can anyone confirm his "gameplay" will also be restored as of the last backup? Not a gamer, never had this concern... I know his Purchased Apps are still on iTunes, but he's panicked about losing his minecraft "score."

Yes it you restore from iCloud backup game status will also be restore provided that the app is still avaialbe form the App store.
For haow to restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content

I recently used iCloud to back up an iPhone 5S to the Cloud and then in iTunes reset the phone to factory settings. Where do I find the contents that were backed-up especially the photo's?

I recently used iCloud backup on my iPhone 5S and then restored the phone to factory settings in iTunes. The contents of the phone is "somewhere" in the Cloud but I don't know where to find it on my Mac Book Pro - accessing my iCloud account just shows all the devices that are backed-up but not where the contents of the phones are.
Specifically I am trying to locate photographs.
Any help will be appreciated.

A backup to iCloud is not designed to be accessed or viewed -- it is designed only for use in doing a restore to the phone or iOS device. Following has instructions on how to do that http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
iCloud Photo Library (beta) iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support does support storing photos on iCloud and accessing them from a web browser from your Mac (and likely in the near future from a new Photos app on your Mac) but that is something different than an iCloud backup.

How can I save multiple backups of my iPhone?

This weekend I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro. In the process of transferring data from my old MacBook Pro to the new one I almost lost all of the data from my iPhone. In the process I realized that by default iTunes only keeps one instance of the backup data - the most recent one.
To avoid such a near miss in the future and to add some healthy redundancy into my life, I would like to be able to keep at least one additional backup copy of my iPhone data. Elsewhere it has been suggested to periodically copy the backup folder to another location. This seems terribly inefficient. Is there a more Apple-like way to create and manage multiple backups of my iPhone and iPad data?
Thanks!

That's the only suggestion I have seen (or maybe renaming the files where they are). It is most un Apple-like for a person to want to do anything than how the programs are set up to do things! You're making life complicated.
I guess if you were absolutely deteremined to make it "easier" you could write an Applescript to automate the copying process.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

If the pictures were synced from a computer to the iOS device then they are removed the same way. Connect the device to the computer. Tell iTunes what to sync and sync.

It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired. Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else. If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

Just got a second iPad for the home.
Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family. If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices. You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices. This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing. (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)

You un-sync them by plugging the phone into the computer and changing the options for photo syncing in iTunes.
