Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?

Hello,
Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?
Thanks in advance

In Finder preferences > General, I changed New Finder windows show: from All My Files to my short login name. This reduces the confusion in presented files.
You can control where you retrieve or save iWork documents via the open and Save.../Save As... dialogs -- or with drag & drop -- be that local or iCloud. I have Pages documents in iCloud that do not reside on my local disk. I can always retrieve them from iCloud to local storage as needed. You certainly can remove a local copy of a document that you already have saved in iCloud.
The act of saving a document to iCloud does not create a duplicate (backup) copy on your local storage.

I'd like to delete the pics on my MacBook, but keep them on my iMac

Both my iMac and my MacBook are linked via my home wifi network. When I load pictures onto iPhoto on my iMac, they also are loaded onto my MacBook, which now has limited available space on its hard drive.
I would like to do two things while maintaining both computers linking via the wifi network -
How would I eliminate the MacBook from copying the pics that I've uploaded into iPhoto on my iMac?
How can I safely delete the pics on my MacBook without simultaneously deleting the pics on my iMac?
Thanks,
Cliff

You need to provide details since we only know what you tell us
It is not possible to import photos to two different Macs at the same time - maybe you are using PhotoStream and have set the iPhoto preferences to automatically import new photos - if so simply turn that preference off and new photos added to PS will no long be imported to the system you turned Auto Import off -- you also may have auto upload new photos to PS set - if you do you may want to turn it off too
Bottom line is that each system stands on its own - deleting form one does not delete from the other
PS is a bit different since it involves a third place - iCloud - and since you can set or not set to auto import photos to the Mac - if you delete a photos form PS it is deleted for everyone viewing via PS - but that does not affect photos that are in events (once auto import imported hem to a event they are in the iPhoto library on that Mac and totally independent of PS or anything else except photo on that Mac
So best wild guess given the very limited information is to turn off auto upload on the iMac (and maybe AutoImport depending on what you want) and auto import on the MB

Can I delete my apps from my Mac and leave them in the iCloud and they will be on my phone?

I see there is backup options on my mac and then backup on the icloud. If i delete all the apps, after they are backed up in the cloudm on my mac am i still good to go on my iPhone? I have 110 apps so it could free up some good space. Thanks!

I believe so, but I am not 100% sure. It is easy enough to test. Try deleting some of your free apps, then retry restoring them and see what happens. You should be able to restore them in the Apps app in the "purchased" tab.

How do i delete pictures from the camera roll, but keep them in different albums?

i have added pictures from my camera roll into different albums. but every time i try to delete the ones from the camera roll, it asks if i want to delete the picture from everywhere or cancel. how do i keep them in the other albums, but delete them from the camera roll?

You can't because the actual photo is in camera roll. The albums only contain links to the photos. If you delete the photo from camera roll it will be gone from your phone and therefore also removed from any albums that contain links to it.

Synch Audiobooks: How to get them off my iPhone but keep them in iTunes?

I'd like to keep my audiobooks on iTunes but not have them take up space on my iPod and iPhone. How do I delete them from just the iPod & iPhone?

If you set your iphone to manually manage on the summary screen, you can drag and drop what you want to the iphone and delete directly from the iphone.
The option to manually manage is on the summary screen when you connect the iphone to itunes.
Hope this helps.

HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

How can I delete photos from my iPhone but keep them in iCloud? I.e. I want more than just a backup of what's on my phone, I want selective storage of my photos. Can iCloud do that?

Hi,
Can I use iCloud as photo storage rather than just backup? Right now, it just syncs the photos from my iPhone. I want to delete some photos from my phone, but keep them in the cloud.
I also want to be able to adjust the settings of certain folders in iPhoto to do different things.
I.e. I have a "work" folder in my photos app on my iphone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in dropbox and be erased from my iPhone.
I have a "family" folder in my photos app on my iPhone. I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in iCloud and erased from my iPhone.
Finally, why can't I log into iCloud from anywhere and see my photos? For example, when I go to my friend's house, I want to be able to log into iCloud from his computer and show him photos that are no longer saved on my phone, but rather stored in the cloud.
Would I be better off with dropbox, flickr, or Amazon for something like that?
Thanks!
Amy

If you have the photos on your computer a great way to test is to remove your phone from your computer and see if the photos are still on it; if they are still on your computer you are free to do so
Also when you are importing photos from the device to iPhoto you should get the option to delete after importing

How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
Is there anything like that for Macs?
Whether it be some where on the computer already?
Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

How are you trying to copy them over ? You should be able to copy them over to the TV Shows section of your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.

How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library can move the original high-resolution photos and videos to iCloud and
replace them with lightweight, device-optimized versions on your iOS device. This helps you
make the most of your device storage while giving you access to more photos than ever.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings >
Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You will need
an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Yes I want to know the answer too.
If I subscribe to iCloud storage but my iPhone can just hold up to 16 gb.
Why do I have to do it ? to make my iPad see photos from my iPhone?

again. everything come back as preview photos but when I look at each, my phone
will download them all anyway. so, how can you manage space on devices actually?
if I have 16 gb on my phone , So I can see all of my 1tb photos on iCloud ?

Deleting Contacts on phone (but keep them on my mac)

Is there a way to delete contacts on my iPhone but keep them on my Mac (Macbook Pro) or vise versa. I use iCloud, so Im not sure. Some people I no longer need to contact via phone, but would still like to keep their contact info, in case I ever need to contact them.

Drag them to your "on my mac' group in address book, contacts in this group won't sync with iCloud.
