I backup my phone to my mac and heaps of my old photos came back and now i can't delete them HELP?!

i can't delete my photos after contacting to my mac

Do you mean, you connected the iPhone to your mac and imported the photos to iPhoto or the Photos.app? And the import panel does not let you delete the photos from your device after importing?
Then you have probably iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the phone. In that case you have to delete the photos directly on the device and cannot delete them from the import panel.

I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone. I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

I have pictures on my phone that I can not delete. There is no trashcan. These pictures are in albums and not the camera roll itself. How can I delete them?

My wife and I decided that we needed separate accounts for our two 4s phones. To do this, the data from her phone needed to be transferred out, then transferred back in under the different account. The pictures were transferred back in using Itunes. These appear as separate albums in the "photos" app. I would like to delete some (or all) the pictures in these extra albums, but there is no trashcan to put them in. I can only delete pictures in the "camera roll" itself. These pictures are taking up valuable memory and I would like to free up some space. How can I delete them?

You're welcome.
As it relates to pictures, iTunes will only do two things: it will transfer photos from your computer to your device (if you select to Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings); and it will include the camera roll photos on your device in your device backup (if you back up to your computer rather than to iCloud). It does not transfer photos from your phone, only to your phone. (Transferring photo from your phone to your computer is done by importing them as expained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
The only area where you might lose pictures by syncing would be if you synced your phone while selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and the photos you had previously synced to your phone from your computer were no longer on your computer. iTunes is syncing photos one-way; ensuring that the photos transferred from your computer match the photos still on your computer. If you delete the photos from your computer, then sync, the deleted photos are then removed from your phone.
This does not effect photos in the camera roll or in your photo stream, it only effects photos in the Photo Library album and albums containing photos in the Photo Library album.
The deleted photos would have been placed in the recycle bin when you originally deleted them from the computer. Nothing is put in the recycle bin when syncing with iTunes.

If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved?

If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved? We can't do the IOS 7 upgrade and notice that the photos are taking up the most memory. If I delete these, but they are backed up on iCloud, will I lose them all if they aren't stored anywhere else?

Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

I uploaded photos from my computer onto my iPhone 5c and now I can't delete them?

did you sync them with itunes on your computer to get them on your phone? Just unsync them using itunes on your computer, uncheck the folders that you synced and sync again

HT1296 upon syncing my ipad with my mac, the process reversed and sent pictures back to the ipad on the camera roll. Now none can be deleted. There is no trash showing up, only edit. Instead of the 900 pics in the photo stream, and the same in photos

I canot delete pics from my photos on ipad. During synching process to my mac the pictures started to suddenly be downloaded back to the ipad. I now have 900 pics in photos and the same in photo stream on the ipad. There is no trash can, only an "edit" choice.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT4847 If you have to manny old back ups on iCloud can u delete them with out loosing current and old things

If you I cloud memory is low can u delete all the old back ups w out loosing data

Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
iCloud uses its storage only for
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

HELP!!! Downloaded fonts and now I can't delete them...

I downloaded a BUNCH of fonts from a site I found on Stumbleupon and now it takes forever to pick a font on Microsoft Word (for Macs).
I realized it was probably stupid to download 200+ fonts, so I tried to go into Font Book to simply delete them and instead of deleting them, the little rainbow wheel pops up and doesn't do anything!
Any suggestions? I'm a college student and this is my only computer, so I'd like to avoid taking it in to the Genius Bar if at all possible.
Thanks!!

The issue you're having is this: When you first enter a category (ie: "MacBook"), you see the sub-categories at the top of the page, and a list of threads at the bottom. You must first choose a sub-category and drill down through the sub-categories until you no longer see them at the top of the page. Then, you will have the option to post your own thread.

I bought a new computer, and when transferring over to new computer, forgot bookmarks, now I can't find them on my old computer!

We bought a new computer, and somehow bookmarks did not transfer to new computer, and now i cannot find them anywhere!

at the end of the article Ed mentioned is
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
I actually copied most of my user application data from my old system to my new system and that includes all of my Firefox profiles. If I just wanted one profile, I would create the new profile on the new system and copy the old profile into it as I have much too much in the way of modifications to risk losing. as opposed to copying just a few files to the new profile.
Since it appears you only want/need your bookmarks file, then assuming your old system is operational and was using Firefox 3.0 or higher,
bring it up type in about:support or use Help -> Trouble Shooting Information then click on "Open Containing Folder" You will find your old places.sqlite file there or you can restore the latest .json file from the bookmarksbackups directory with the help of a USB thumb drive.
The places.sqlite file would be copied into your new profile with Firefox down and check the Windows Task Manager's Processes Tab to make sure firefox.exe is not running (Window's 7 only keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
If you restore a bookmarkbackups .json file you would do that with your new Firefox open and through the Library list ("Ctrl+Shift+B") then "Import and Backup" on the Library menu bar, then "Restore" then "Choose File" the restore will go very fast.
Since you are going to a new system and both Firefox 4 and Windows 7 may both be new to you, and I would suggest checking out the following two articles where you may find solutions to some of the problems with each, or how to work with them.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

My mom accidentally synced a bunch of music to her ipod touch and now she can't delete them even using itunes. help please?

A few days ago, my mom synced her ipod to her itunes and a bunch of the music files i have got synced to her ipod touch. How do i delete them. They show up on the ipod, but not in the manually added songs list. I have tried many things short of downloading ios 5. I open the ipod, clicked manually music and videos... click music... but i dont see the unwanted songs to delete. I see the songs she did want. Help please.

- If the iPod has iOS 5 then she swipe the song left or right and a tap the Delete button.
- If she does not then she will have to connect to computer and unsync them.

I shared too many pix and photos, now how can I delete them from my iPad?

I shared too many photos and songs on my iPad. How do you delete albums?

How did the photos get onto the iPad ? Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - 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 (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-syncing e.g. to remove a synced folder de-select that folder on the Photos tab and re-sync, to remove all synced photos select and sync an empty folder. Depending upon what iOS version that the iPad is on, you might be able to delete all synced photos by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

My husband bought me a new Iphone today, but first backed up the old Iphone to Icloud. How do I download the old stuff. Have not been able to follow on-line directions. It's very frustrating. Give me my OLD PHONE BACK!!!

If you still have your old phone back it up via iTunes, then restore your new phone via the old phone's back up. Hope that makes sense.
