You have to delete them same you put them there, which is to connect your phone to your Mac and uncheck them via iTunes.

I forgot my security questions and it will not let me reset them

I forgot my answers to my security questions and when I try to reset them it will not let me. It is telling me that I have to wait a week to get in touch with someone from apple to fix this problem.

HT4528 How do i delete unwanted pictures from my itunes account? my iphone will not let me delete them on there and i cannot find an option on itunes to get them off of my phone

How do I delete pictures from my itunes account. I have blank pictures that transfered from a different device and it doesnt give me an option of my phone to delete them.

There are no pictures on your itunes account.
Do you mean pics that are on your iphone?
Delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Open itunes, connect iphone, go to photo tab, select what you want, sync.

My hard drive is full, and it will not let me delete anything... :(

hello, so here is the story...
i bought my iMac about a little more than half year ago and i really like this mac. About 3 months ago, my computer started popping up me hard drive is full messages, and i did not really bother to delete any files. Because i have been using computers before this one, and i have never used up all the spaces before and the computer i have used before had even smaller hard drives. At the time i did not think it is going to effect my usage of this computer so i kept on using it. After about a month, while i was using my computer, it suddenly shut down and when i restart it my desktop is a plain blue background, with no wallpaper or any icons. Then i tried to delete some files, but when i try to do so, i can not even open up my applications or any kind of window. The only thing that i can open is safari, so right now i can only serve the internet, can not even watch any videos or movies online...
can anyone tell me how to delete files right now, because my hard drive is so limited right now, i can not even open up anything, so there is no way to delete any files

In all your use of computers, did you learn how to recover your backups and have a good backup strategy in place?
Or are you going to need help now on backups, recoverying files (already some good threads to just re-read), and rebuild your hard drive.
For starters you will need one or more external drives, and install OS X on one of them and use one or part of one for recovering files.
You should be able to free up space. Just go to your home account folder / library / caches and trash anything to do with Safari like Metadata cache folder to free up a little.
You don't need to "open" anything other than Finder. And you probably want to boot with SHIFT KEY at the least on startup - continue to hold shift key until you hit the desktop.
But you really should not or limit any use of this hard drive, and work from and boot from another hard drive for now.
Pick up some USB/FW drives:

I backed up my iPhone and then did a sync and the iPhone is missing photos and so is my Mac and my phone will not let me delete them or on my iMac either.

So I bought a used Mac from my friend. I have the udated software and an iPhone 5 with the newest software. I have backed up my phone at least 4 times and all the photos and videos I need and wanted were on the phone. I did a backup and synce last night to itunes and now my phone has random old photos on it and I can't remove them or delete them. I also tried to restart iphoto and uninstall it and now it asking me to buy it for my Mac. I looked in the library for the photos and they are not there and used the preview option for it. Don't know how to recover or find them on my Mac. I have to have these photos for a company meeting and can't reproduce. Since the new updates with Mac and iPhone with the OS7 it has been really wierd and NOT working right. Also something to point out is that the events on my phone show up for the folders but they don't show up on my mac and didn't before. They only show up as dates but on my phone show as names that gave them. Help please! My presention is on the line. I've not been happy when I made the switch to everything apple.

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

HT4236 I downloaded pictures from my computer to my iphone and my phone will not let me delete them..Help!!

I have downloaded pictures from my computer to my iphone. They were saved on my phone it 2 folders. One was saved pics and the other was was pictures. I have tried to edit to delete the duplicates but neither folder give me the option to delete them. The only options I have are share and add to. How can I remove the pics?

You remove them by using itunes on your computer with your phone attached. Click on the photo tab and uncheck the folders your previousy synced and then sync again

Half of my bookmark toolbar bookmarks are gone and it will not let me add them back. It is as if that half of the toolbar is restricted from adding anything.

Not sure any more details are needed to supplement the question.

A couple of articles that may help, as your issue seen specific to the toolbar see [[Toolbar keeps resetting]]. For other possible causes see the[[Bookmarks not saved]] article.

Hi my iphone 4s still has pictures on it from my old computer. I recently put my itunes on a new computer and the old photos albums can not be deleted off my iphone. It is taking up too much room and I want them off. How do i get rid of them if they are not on my new computer?

Yes. You can import those current pics on your phone to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
then you can sync it back to your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
If you don't want to do this, then you will have to live with those sync pics on yoru phone.

I installed ios 7.0.2 on my i-pads and now want to delete the pass code, which I originally put in. I no longer want the hassle of the pass code, but cannot figure out how to delete it. I do not want the additional security.

Settings>General>Passcode Lock. Tap the arrow to the right on that line. Enter your Passcode. In the next window select Turn Passcode Off. Enter your passcode again to confirm.

I turned off cookies and firefox will not let me turn them back on.

I turned off cookies in FF 3.6 and cannot turn them back on even though I read all the info about enabling cookies, deleting history and reinstalled FF. Now I have to use IE to get into my Gmail account.

Did you check the cookie exceptions?

Cannot delete emails and will not let me trash them

I have approximately now, 6 emails on my phone that have been deleted from my address in my computer but will not delete off my iphone 4 and it will not let me trash them either I get the error *unable to move message* The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash can someone help me get rid of them?

I've had that in the past. For some reason, moved or delete emails on one device don't seem to register on other devices on the same account for some time. I had a service that took a day or more before a deleted email on A finally was deleted on B. In the meantime, trying to delete or move when on B resulted in the same message. Wait for it to straighten out on its own.
