it wont let you swipe to the left on songs that have the cloud next to them
That's correct - it only deletes them from your phone, not from iCloud
If you go into Settings, Music and set Show All Music to Off, you will only see the songs that are actually on the phone.
One other tip - once you've deleted the songs/lists you no longer want, restart the phone (hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears) to make sure the songs are gone.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

Music from PC I loaded some CDs onto my PC and want to know if, and how, I can move them from my PC to my IPad2. Also, if I get them moved can u delete individual songs from those moved to IPad

I loaded some music CDs onto my PC. Can I move them from PC to my IPad 2? If so how? I loaded the CDs into ITunes on PC and when synced with IPad I saw them on the IPad, but once the PC was disconnected here seems to be no music on my IPad. How or canons move music ? Other than hat u purchase? can editing be done onIPad if music is moved there? IE deleting songs from list?

Do not look at the library on the left. You want to use the iTunes window on the right - after you select the iPad. This illustrates how to select the iPad. In this screenshot I marked it iPod but it works the same way for the iPad.
Click on the iPad's name on the left side of the iTunes window - under devices - in order to select your iPad.
Then click on the Music Tab in the window on the right side
Find the songs in the music section
Click on the boxes next to the songs - or click on the album or playlist that the songs are in
Make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected at the top of the tab
Click on Apply in the lower right corner.
You can read this as well for more help.

Backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Help! My husband backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone from my library! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Hello Nataroo007,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
There is a file in the iTunes library folder that contains your playlist information is the iTunes Library.xml file.
Try and find the file, usually located in one of these locations depending on your OS:
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
Then you can import this file to your iTunes Library like this:
1. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
2. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file
3. Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.

I Have several pages in iWeb, but only want to host one of them on mobileme

I've got four seperate web pages I've designed in iweb, but I only want one of them to be hosted by mobile me. How do I do this? It seems that it wants to post all of the pages to my account.

Build your sites on separate domain files so that you can load them into iWeb, work on them and publish them separately....

I have Firefox/Yahoo and I only want Firefox (hate Yahoo). How can I delete Yahoo?

I currently have a tool bar YAHOO and don't want it or need it.
How do I delete the Yahoo tool bar

You can disable or remove most toolbars here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
On the left side, click Extensions. Then read down the list. Usually the active ones are listed first, then the inactive ones.
If the add-on can't be removed there, you may have to go to the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel.
Any luck?

Hello ShannonT-1977,
It sounds like you need to look at your iCloud storage data to see what is taking up all the space. You should be able to do that with this article:

Adobe says I activated on more than two systems, but only installed CC on two computers?

I have CC on my home desktop computer and my school laptop. When I log on either of them, when I am signing in I am told that I need to deactivate from my first two systems in order to use it on the one I am currently using. However, I have only installed CC on two systems. I am worried my account will be suspended for not following the licensing agreement if this continues.

Hi Amandurinorange,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Have you reinstalled it on any of your machine? The message that you are getting appears only when you are activating it for the third time.
Either you can deactivate CC from any one of the computer by just launching any CC product, click on Help tab & sign out.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html#de activate-problem
Now you can log out & log back in of the CC desktop app
The error of deactivating it from previous machine should not appear.
Please let us know if it worked.

I have ps 6 and lr 5.5 on my laptop, but just purchased a surface pro3 tablet. how do I install them onto my tablet? or is there a better way?

I own and use PS 6 and Lightroom 5.5 on my laptop currently. However, I will be traveling and want to edit on a tablet I just purchased for that purpose ( Microsoft Surface Pro 3). Since I'm new to tablets I'm having trouble figuring out how to use them on the tablet, i.e., install them. Do I use an app; do I pay for another copy? Can you help? I've also considered the Creative Cloud but also not sure if it is what I need.
Thanks,
Mike

I finally installed Adobe Lightroom CC app successfully, but Photoshop CC did not load due the 'download appears corrupted'. No other help is offered except to try again in a few minutes which I have several times to to no avail. Code U43M1D204 was provided.

Use iPhone/iPad to Permanently Delete Songs from iCloud/iTunes Match

I have iCloud and iTunes Match, but I am doing my annual "spring cleaning" (yes, I know it's winter) of songs I don't really listen to or want to keep anymore. I want to delete them permanently from iCloud/iTunes Match. I used to do this in iTunes on a computer. I would delete them from the Song list and it would prompt me with a question to the effect of "Do you want to delete these from iCloud as well?"
Well, I am operating solely on an iPhone and an iPad now. I don't have a computer anymore. So I don't have iTunes software anymore and thus don't have this means of deleting songs from iCloud. I don't know how to delete songs from iCloud USING my mobile device. If I delete a song from a playlist or from the device itself, it is still out there in iCloud and still shows up in the list of songs at my disposal. I DON'T want to cheat the system and turn off the settings feature that "shows all music" in iCloud because then I won't be able to see anything I have at my disposal in iCloud. I want to be able to see my songs in iCloud, but I want to be able to permanently delete from said iCloud songs that I don't care about anymore.
So how do I do it from iOS devices?
Please don't tell me it can't be done without iTunes on a computer. That will just irritate me and drive another nail in the coffin of my growing frustration with Apple.

I honestly don't think you can do it. Nothing I've found online allows you to do this, which is awful because these songs still show up and play when on shuffle. I've even selected "only show me music on this device" and I still see some songs I've deleted and are only on icloud and I have no option to swipe and delete. I'm with you... forcing me to do this on my pc when every other need for syncing has since been removed is very annoying.

Deleting songs from iCloud seems to not be working for me?

Hello,
I'm having a huge problem currently. I have read the faqs on "How to delete songs from iCloud?" and understand it perfectly. But tonight I'm trying to delete this album out off my computer and it was deleted because I seen the album go straight to the trash. I emptied the trash can and for some reason when I go to click "Update iTunes Match". The album I deleted pops back up via iCloud. Now I then deleted that hoping the songs would delete from the iCloud also. Well loe and behold the songs came back again via iCloud. These aren't purchases made via iTunes. These are songs I've uploaded using a purchased music CD from Best Buy. And they seem to not be able to leave iCloud for some reason. No matter how many times I have to delete them.
Is there any way around this?
I have iTunes Match and I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS Mavericks).

Hello Kitkat1017,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you are both logged in to the same Apple ID in your Messages settings, which would cause you to get the same messages on both devices. If you select "Send & Recieve" in your Messages settings, you will likely see the same Apple ID logged in on both devices.

Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

You have synchronized more than 3 devices.

Hello,
I am using Spotify Premium and I know that it provides me with the possibility to sync 3 devices. So I go to my account page and use the offline devices tab to completely delete all devices that I had before. However, this does not make my Android phone sync to Spotify and it still says that I have synced more than 3 devices. At the same time, all downloaded playlists were indeed deleted both on my PC and phone. I searched for that and saw that moderators can help me reset my devices so may I ask for that little favor?

Hi there,
Welcome at the Spotify Community!
You may also try the logout everywhere function.
To logout everywhere, please go to your account page, and click the Sign out everywhere button to logout all devices that are connected to your account.
If that doesn't help for you, you may get in touch with Spotify so they can sort this out for you.
You may get in touch with Spotify via their Twitter page (@SpotifyCares), or by following this link to send an e-mail.
If you send an e-mail, please check your inbox (and spam box) to check for their automatic reply. Once you get it, please reply to it immediatly (even if it's from an no-reply e-mail addres) to make sure an Spotify employee will get back to you as soon as possible.
