I want to remove all my sync data and delete my account,

I have tried on numerous occasions to do this within the account management facility, but every time I get a server error (dinosaurs/treadmills etc!).
Is there any other way I can have my account deleted?
Thanks for your help!

    Is there any way of shifting apps from iphone and ipad category to just iphone and the other way around

    I dont think I explained my question v well. When I sink my iphone all the apps that are in the category of iphone, ipod and Ipad sync. I understand this however is there any way of changing the category the app is listed under so that I have a separate category for ipad and separate for iphone. Its so frustrating.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Removing all the hidden data from photos

    If I export a photo to share, I often want to remove all the extra hidden stored data such as date taken exposures etc. Is this easy?
    Rod

    Hi rod,
    By accident I found that a little app I use (ImageWell) to add connotations and text to my screenshots also strips most if not all the EXIF data from an image that you drag out of the Image well.
    I just checked it out again. I dragged an image into the well, changed the name of the image and dragged it out. The EXIF data was gone when I opened it with Preview and did Tools/Get info.

  • How do i wipe my mac? i sold it and now want to remove all of my details from it. Do i have to wipe it or can i just reformat the hardrive????

    how do i wipe my mac? i sold it and now want to remove all of my details from it. Do i have to wipe it or can i just reformat the hardrive????

    aha yes - Lion has changed you harddrive setup and added a "recover partition" Now it gets - not technical - but time consuming.
    try:
    insert your Snow Leopard installer DVD.
    Reboot
    Immediately After startup sound, hold down ALT.
    You'll be presented with several options. Select your install DVD and continue.
    If it doesn't fail:
    Once the installer has started, go t the top menu and select "disc utility"
    go to the "partition" screen and erase all partitions back to one single partition
    return to the installer and install that older OS X version
    give to buyer minus the price of a Lion upgrade
    If it fails, go to step 1 and boot from your "recovery drive".
    once the installer has sarted, go to the top menu and select "disk utility"
    erase the drive partition that used to contain OSX Lion - this will remove your private data, all apps and OSX Lion.
    Restart, hold own "eject" and remove the DVD, and shut down again.
    You'll have to hand it over to the new buyer in this state. Tell him the machine will boot into the Lion installer but he'll have to create an App Store account to download and install OS X Lion. One again, give him a reduced price equal to the price of the Lion upgrade. Way I see it, no other options remain.

  • Family sharing one Itunes account, want to remove all of their computers content from my library... help

  • How can I remove all Time Machine data from an external HD, while retaining the other folders/files on the disk?

    I recently replaced my old Macbook Pro with a new Macbook Pro Retina.
    The original MBP had Time Machine set up on an external HD, and I also had some manually saved/backed up files (stuff that didn't need incremental backups; very old stuff) on the disk as well, in folders.  This worked fine and well for the life of the original MBP.
    When I set up the MBPr, I did not elect to transfer everything over from a Time Machine disk, as I wanted a Fresh Install; I chose to just re-download/install the apps  I needed from the App Store.  Much cleaner, more stable.  I updated to Yosemite immediately so, it gave me more of a  clean install.
    The problem is, Time Machine now won't read any Time Machine backups from that disk.  Migration assistant can pull data from it, but it's a bit wonky.  It was easier to just manually copy over what I needed.
    Now, I just want to "reset", and completely remove the old Time Machine data from the external hard drive, since it is completely useless to me now (I can't access it on this computer, and it's taking up space).  I want to remove the Time Machine data, as if it were never there, but keep my other folders/files that are on the disk (so, a format is not feasible).
    I will then set the disk up as a new, fresh Time Machine disk for the new MBPr. 
    What is the proper method for removing Time Machine data from an external disk (which doesn't seem to be associated with this machine anyway)?  I know a simple rm -rf will cause problems.
    Thanks for any help provided.

    See the yellow box in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
