I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad. That delete button will work on those.
Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing. When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad. The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto. While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side. You can select which pad photos you want to import. Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

I plan on buying a new I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi co

Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?

Hi tinashah817,
Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).

Did you restore your new iPhone 4 from the backup of your iPhone 3? Did you make a current backup of your iPhone 3 BEFORE restoring this backup to your iPhone 4? Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, but they must be in that backup in order to restore them to your new phone.

A private web screen shows up when I close down apps on my ipad, but I don't want to see that web page EVER. It is a private "incognito" Skype number that I don't want ANYONE to see.

Yeah, I'm 95% sure that I did that after I closed that Skype, so I was a bit shocked when I saw that screen pop up later :/

When someone messages you from their iPhone or iPad, you receive the message to your iPhone (or iPad) but you don't know whether it is from their iPhone or iPad because all your iPhone sees is one contact. That needs to be updated.

Why does it matter?
It's the person who sent the message that is important, not which particular device they used to send it, surely?
When someone calls you from their home landland, is it necessary to know whether they're calling you from the phone in the kitchen, or the one in the bedroom?

I have Logic Studio 9.0 media set but need to install onto new Mountain Lion iMac. Migrating from older OS will allow free upgrade from App store but I don't want to migrate due to other issues. How can I install this?

We have a valid serial number and the original 9.0 media set. When I tried migrating the App Store updated it free of charge. However I don't know how to get Logic on without migrating as it point blank refuses when I insert the install disk.
Thanks.

Hi
Something is not quite right here:
I have the original Studio 2 disks here, and the installer runs fine under OSX.8.3. It will install Logic Pro 9.0.0, which can then be updated by downloading the 9.1.7 or 9.1.8 updater from Apple Downloads.
On your system, the installer refuses to run, or does the install proceed, but you are unable to update Logic so that it will work on Mountain Lion?

I want to open files from a link but I don't want to save it

Hello,
I use firefox mostly as a browser and everytime I click on a link on the web to open a file that file opens but it also goes to my download folder.
The dialog box opens and asks do I want to save or open and even when I put open it saves to my download folder.
Anyone know how to fix this. My download folder is overflowing.
Blaine

Downlaods folder is a temporary internet files folder pretty much. you could just clean it out every once in a while. if you download google chrome you can just open it with google chrome. i dont think that thats an option with firefox but i could be wrong.
Hope i helped!

I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info. You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
To change the device info:
Step 1. Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box. You should notice a change in your email info on the screen . Sync device to the computer.
Step 2. note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info: Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Change your email account information here.

How do I delete a photo from an album? I don't want to ctrl delete b/c I don't want to delete it forever. It just landed in the wrong album (there is a copy in the correct album and the wrong album)

I've got photos organized into projects by year, folder by month and then broken into albums within the months (mom of young kids). When I was creating albums yesterday, I didn't notice a little box that says "do you want to put selected photos in album?" So every time I created a new album, it put the photo that I had been working on in that album. I want that photo (in the album in which it belongs), so I don't want to ctrl+delete. But I don't want that photo in 10 other albums. How can I get it out of the albums where I don't want it?

In addition to johngrussel's suggestion the delete key by itself will run the Remove from Album comand.
Note that's the delete key with no modifier.Command-delete will delete the version from the project.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.
