I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?
Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though. -
I want to delete several older iPhone backups to the cloud and my computer. I know there is a page to manage this, but I am unable to find it?
david.menzel's response takes care of the iCloud backups. If you have backups to iTunes as well (which I'm not sure whether the "my computer" part of your question is implying or not), you would remove those by opening iTunes, then go to Preferences>Devices, click on the backup you want deleted, then on Delete Backup.

I have synced my photos from iPhone and iPad to my iMac and now I want to delete all from iPhone and iPad without deleting from iMac. thanks
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used? -
If I want to delete the photo library from my iPhone, how do I make sure I dont delete them from my desktop as well?
If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK. Just deselect the photos when you sync.

i got my new iPhone 5 and i connected it to my iTunes on mac and it ask me if i want to setup as new iPhone or restore backup and i restore back up but now i want to delete backup and set up as new iPhone, is the anyhow?
The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

My Instagram app on my iPhone 4s keeps crashing whenever i try to open it. I want to delete it then download it again but it said that doing so would delete all of it's data. Does that mean I'll lose all of my pictures?
I have this excact problem too, Deleting the the app and then reinstalling it won't delete your photos as they are stored on facebooks servers. You will just have to remember you username and password to sign in again. Ever since Facbook bought instagram i have had this problem on my 4S too.

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?
Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

My daughter and i share the same Apple ID account and I cloud account but I just unwittingly merged them on my Iphone 5s. Now i have all her contacts and my own. I want to delete hers from my phone and stop from her receiving my emails and my contacts. Can i fix both problems without erasing my contacts on my phone and her contacts from her ipod?
Hi,
I got my phone a couple of years ago and when it came in the mail, I wasn't home so my brother decided to set up my iPhone for me because he was so desperate to check the phone out. My iCloud account has been his account and it's been set up under his e-mail since the day I got my phone. Once he bought an iPhone, he set it up under the same e-mail account and now we share it. It's so annoying because all of my pictures and stuff are stored in my iCloud, but that's under his e-mail and I really want a new iCloud account but I want to transfer all of my iCloud information and pictures to my e-mail without losing them. Randomly, my brother has been receiving some of my facetime calls and I even turned it off so that it is only set on my device. I didn't even know he received any of my facetime calls until the other day when my friend told me. Now, our contacts are shared and I don't want that either. At one point during the summer, he was receiving my text messages as well. I turned all of those off under settings so they wouldn't be shared on his device, but I need to find a way to carry my iCloud stuff and set it up in a my own completely separate account. Please, please help me. I really am getting so frustrated with it and neither of us want to delete our accounts because we don't want to lose our iCloud stuff. -
I have pictures in albums on my iphone. I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations. I only want to delete it from 1 album. Is this possible to do?
You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll. If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo. This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

I want to delete my mobile me account not just from my iPhone but from existence. I want to delete it so that no emails can be received to it, and the sender would receive an undeliverable message. Is this possible?
No, you can stop using the account, but you cannot delete it.

I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!
To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

In order to save using data when traveling I want to delete apps from my iPhone that I don't need. However I do want these apps on my iPad and with the new IOS8.0.2 and Yosemite I think they are all now integrated so that if I delete from one device it is deleted from all and if I add to one device it is added to all. Is this correct?
1. How can I tell which apps are specific to iPhone and which are specific to iPad?
2. How can I tell how much data is being used per app?
3. How can I tell if an app is running in the background?
4. When I turn off cellular data does that limit the app from functioning always or just restrict it to wi-fi?
5. Do I benefit from having Bluetooth on if I don't use a head phone or other device?
6. Is a Personal Hotspot more secure than using paid hotel wi-fi?Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
