  • HT4847 How can I delete kindle books from the iCloud.

    How can I delete a kindle book stored in the iCloud?

    Login to Amazon then from "your Account" select "your cloud drive" from drop down list.  This will bring the list of file names such as Kindle books or docs, Videos, Pictures, Documents etc.  Click on the Kindle docs then select the item you no longer need and use the "delete" that is listed on the bottom of the screen.  Done.

    I had this problem as well. You can't delete them but you can hide them by swiping across from the cloud to. The other side then pressing hide

  • How can I delete tv shows from the iCloud on my Apple TV?

    I recently purchased Apple TV (3rd gen) and need to delete a tv show that appears there.  There's no trash can icon on the screen as some posts state--just an iCloud icon.  How do I delete an item from the iCloud so it will no longer appear on the Apple TV?

    You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
    In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
    Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
    If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.

    Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    The most comprehensive delete method I know about is to delete the book from iTunes on the computer you sync your iPad with.  You'll be asked if you're sure, and it will be deleted from your iPad and any other i-Device you sync to.
    I think that's the best you can do.

  • How can I delete an item from the main left column of iTunes?

    I'd like to delete an item from the main left hand column in iTunes (the column containing the main headings LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, PLAYLISTS etc etc). Under the first heading 'LIBRARY' appear the items Library, Music, Movies, iTunes U, Books, Apps and Ringtones. I'd like to remove the item "Library" from that list - it appears immediately after the heading "LIBRARY" and serves no purpose whatsoever. (Neither does it appear to cause any harm, I must say, just a nuisance.) This item does not appear in any of the iTunes viewing options or controls lists. Neither does it appear in iTunes in the other accounts on my Mac and I have yet to see it any other iTunes on any other Mac.
    I've upgraded since about iTunes 8 assuming the problem would eventually disappear through the upgrades but it hasn’t, even through all the providedupgrade increments available for iTunes.
    I'm assuming it's from something I've installed in my main user account at some stage and it entered this item in the iTunes app. But I can't see how to remove it. The only things I can remember installing are "iTunes Batch Column Renamer" and "Join Together", both if which are just Scripts and which I use fairly regularly, but I don't recall either of them installing that particular item.
    Is there any folder I can navigate to to edit the list of items in that main left hand column of iTunes?
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

    on second thought, that you have an item "library" is indeed odd - there shouldn't be.
    suggest you try removing iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.
    btw, you didn't install any 3rd party tools like this script:
    Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4 
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist
    Changing view setting is global
    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons
    Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
    Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
    Create playlists for purchased song collections
    Play songs while importing or converting
    Create file names with track number
    Maintain grid view for Search results
    Option-click zoom button for Mini Player&
    Show buttons horizontally

  • How can I delete an item from my navigation bar?

    I have an item in my navigation bar that goes to an error page instead of where it is supposed to go. How can I delete it?

    See:
    * [[Clearing Location bar history]]
    * [[Cannot clear Location bar history
    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • How can I delete linked devices from my icloud account?

    Someone that I dont Know has sign in on an ipad. I've already changed my pasword but I still can see it linked. for example it apperar on my icloud tabs on safari. this really bothers me.
    How can I unlink it?

    Still seeing the other person's iCloud tabs does not necessarily indicate that they still have access to your iCloud account.  iCloud tabs will remain for up to 7 days even if a device is no longer active on your iCloud account.  After 7 days they should automatically be cleared.

  • How can I delete my music from the iCloud that is now on my phone?

    After downloading the new update, ALL of my 1500 songs from the iCloud are now on my phone. I have over 300 kid songs because I am a teacher and I really don't want all of them on my personal phone. I have joined iTunes Match to try to get rid of them. Everytime I hide or delete them, they are still on my phone. When I sync again, they go back on my computer. HELP!

  • How can I delete an item from Keychain the dealer installed?

    I found that he installed an access in Keychain to my Time Capsule showing its password when he replaced my HD. When I try to delete it I am denied on my password. When I try to create a new Keychain my password is denied, so I cannot create a new Keychain and delete the old one— if that would work in this situation. I have some other issues with this dealer, an old one predating the Apple Stores. I don't like to go back to him to find out how I can get him out of my computer.

    I was able access the TC set-up in Airport Utility after a hard reset, then powering it down, restarting it along with the cable modem and iMac. “Public” was accepted as a password but later a Systems Keychain password was called for and denied. I have recently lost the ability to access any Systems’ password. I tried unsuccessfully to change these passwords, to change them to the present login password. (They are the passwords in effect when I brought the iMac in for a new HD. They seemed to accept the change, saved it, but when I checked back they were unchanged. Seemingly there is another level of password above mine. But Systems have stopped accepting my password: when entered my password a pop-up appears, “kcproxy wants to use ‘System’ keychain,” enter keychain password. My present Keychain password fails and a pop-up appears, “Access . . . restricted.”
    TC was on the way to being reconfigured until this Key Chain problem again blocked it. Since I know the passwords that are in them I know something else is involved. The dealer who installed my new hard drive put a password entry in my Keychain System file without my permission, programmed so that it can’t be removed or changed. This does bear a fairly trojan-like semblance. This program has disabled my Systems file when I attempted to remove the entry. It made the TC, bought 1/4/12, unusable. I am not sure that Apple is on the hook for this; I will check in with them. If only I could access the TC I could probably exchange the supporting data. . . .
    No one has responded to my case. I’ve followed the related discussions. I turn on FileVault--Keychain is in the home folder--but the master password was of no use. I’ve turned it off. If no on has a bright idea, I’ll check in with Apple on the guarantee.

  • How can I delete unwanted albums from my iCloud without iTunes Match?!

    Hello, can someone please tell me how I can get rid of old unwanted albums in my iCloud without using iTunes Match? I don't have the actual files of these albums anymore, so the only place where they currently exist is in my iCloud. I have tried to access them via my iMac and iPad but unfortunately I can't access those files in the sense of deleting them for good.
    Any suggestions welcomed.
    Thanks

    You can't permanently delete them, but you could hide them so that they don't show in the cloud for redownloading : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

    Hi conrad0509,
    If you are talking about removing your phone number from your Apple ID (which associates it with iMessage and iCloud), you may find the following article helpful (instructions on unlinking should be near the bottom):
