Is there a way to manage (arrange and add/delete) apps from within itunes while I have my iphone 4S connected to computer... instead of doing it on the phone itself? I have an unreasonable number of apps and need to clean it all up.

I have a replacement phone and have saved a backup but ideally before or, if need be, directly after I restore from backup I would love to clean up my apps. I have over 2000 apps which I clearly don't use all at once so like to keep most of them sitting in itunes however recently life got messy and so did my phone so much so that I just lost control of what was on it and not on it because of a forgotten wifi synch that I'd not disabled so randomly id get apps appearing on my phone that I'd deleted ages and ages ago. Anyway the notion of having to fix it all on the phone with the jiggling icons is a painful one... I am hoping I can do it via my lap top instead. Anyone? all search efforts have not arrived me at the info I seek.

Yes, connect your iPhone to your computer, click onthe name of your iPhone then click on the apps tab in iTunes.

I have orphaned voice memos on my iPhone5 and cannot delete. Listed in iTunes but not on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help

I have the same problem and I still can't delete that stupid song. I downloaded it from Starbucks almost over a year ago!!!

How do I change the Apple ID that the AppStore on my iPhone defaults to? In settings I am logged into one account, but when I try and update various Apps from within the AppStore the default account that comes up, asking for my password, is different.

Eg, the phone automatically brings up an old (defunct) AppleID account login every time I try to update my Apps. I don't know the pword for this account, nor does it have current data about me.
But when I go to settings: store it shows me logged into the correct account.
I have already tried:
logging out and logging back in
downloading a new App from within AppStore (in that case it doesn't ask me for my password or bring up the old AppleID)
Syncing the phone, confirming that I have the right AppleID account set up on iTunes
I don't want to have to delete all my paid apps just because I downloaded them long ago with an older Apple ID.
Help please!

The very similar situation with mine:

I can't find any solution. I don't even remember when I changed my apple ID! So does that means I cant recovered my purchased apps from my " old" account? I am totally innocent, for I did not intend to "Change" my account name

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone
- You can also have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

You can use another iPhone (or iPad) to restore it too, or you can login to www.icloud.com (assumng you weer using iCloud) and export your contacts from there.

I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account. They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library. Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto): How to Access Files in iPhoto. Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

I would now like to download it onto my desktop computer although I can't find the disc. I have found my serial number through my account. Is there any way of downloading it without the disc?

You can download the software from https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html (near the bottom).
