ITunes Match: Can't delete remaining files from the iPhone

Connected to iTunes Match today: All my songs are in the cloud, the color scale overview shows 0,12 GB (?) for audio files. Still there are almost 500 songs (1,7 GB) in the Device(iPhone)/Music submenu. Some of these are active, some are deactivated, but I can't delete both. On my iPhone, I deleted all remaining songs by "swipe and delete", all songs there show the cloud symbol.
How can I delete the remaining files?
Thank you, Martin

HT4914 I have an iTunes library of some 18k tracks. If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I delete my library from the pc hard drive and then download my entire collection back at the higher bit rate of 256?

I would like to improve the quality of my iTunes library, most of which were ripped at the old 'higher quality' setting and not lossless.
I would consider subscribing to the iTunes Match programme if I would later be able to download my music back on to my PC at the improved higher bit rate stated.
Is there a problem with this?

In iPhoto, Select All the Photos you want to move... Then goto > File > Export >
Choose the settings as seen here
Click Export and select your External Drive
Best to create a Folder to put them in... and away you go...

How can I access onenote files from the iPhone?

Hi there,
I would like to explore the method of manually and regularly moving onenote files from my iphone to my PC so that I can view them on my PC.
Is this possible? If so, can anyone please tell me how?
I'm thinking this will require copying a file or something from my iPhone to my PC, but how?
Thanks

I wouldn't hold you breath. I understand what you say you want to do, but that is going in exactly the opposite direction that the industry is moving.
Using MS's cloud based sync is not an "extra step". It reduces the effort to keep things synchronized on your part to nearly zero.
If there is no 'trust issue' there, as you seem to imply, then it seems you are simply trying to complicate your life by refusing to use the application the way it was designed to be used.
One Note isn't anywhere near being 'one of a kind'. It's one among many, and not a very good one at. It's bloated, slow, and cumbersome.
Investigate other options, or use it the way it's meant to be used, but hoping that Microsoft will move in the direction you want to go is pretty much pointless.
Tools like File Explorer can often do more harm than good. you were never intended to have access to the file system on the phone. One wrong move can really screw things up.

Can I delete/remove files from my iPhone after importing into LR?

Stoked to be able to pull photos and video from my iPhone via LR and skip iPhoto. But it didn't give me the option to 'move' the photos just to copy them. So now I have them all on my laptop but need to delete them from my iPhone to make more room. Deleting on the iPhone is a tetious one by one (checkmarking them) process. Any ideas?

It can't be done by any LR option. You can do it be means of a script, and Rob Cole (often posts here) has written one. Not sure if he's made it available to others.
This has been much discussed, and you'll find a strong polarisation between people like Rob, who think it remiss of Adobe not to include "move" as an option, and people like me that think it a dangerous feature, and shouldn't even be an option!

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I cannot delete a file from the document folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

I can't delete any files from my external hard drives since I tried to delete backups. I can't return backups or delete anything now.

It started when I tried to delete back up files. It wouldn't let me delete them. Came up with "BootX" is locked, then "boot.efi" is locked. Holding down Option while emptying the trash didn't do anything. It wouldn't let me put them back in Backups.backupdb so I just left them in the trash.
But now I can't delete any files from either of my external hard drives. please help!

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

If I download iTunes Match can I delete stored sings on my iPad and iPhone ?

If I purchase iTunes Match can I delete songs to make room on iPad and iPhone ?

Yes.
Keep in mind that streamed music is actually downloaded to iOS devices to a temporary cache. You will probably want to clear this out periodically.

I had this problem as well. You can't delete them but you can hide them by swiping across from the cloud to. The other side then pressing hide

When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.
