How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone!

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

    How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted.  Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First off.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
    Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
    On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
    If you "close"  or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
    This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
    The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
    The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
    However this only happens once.  When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
    This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
    It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

  • HT1689 how do i delete songs from my iTunes and have them also delete from my iPhone using iCloud

    When i delete songs from my iTunes list the songs remain on my iPhone even though i have i Cloud

    From your last post, it sounds as if you're hoping to stream music to your iPhone (and your computer) from iCloud, so when you delete songs from iCloud, they will also be deleted from your iPhone.
    iTunes Match sort of does that, but not quite, as the songs you have played on an iOS device get stored there.
    Here's a snippet from the iTunes Match writeup located at:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

  • How can I put content on the AppleTV and have it STAY there??

    I want to put movies on the AppleTV and delete them from my computer. I want the movies to be persistently on the AppleTV How do I do that?

    Most important thing to realise is that AppleTV cannot be regarded as a storage or backup device - once content is on AppleTv you cannot get it back to your computer.
    Assuming you have a backup copy of a movie elsewhere in case your AppleTV fails or needs a factory restore you could either:
    - Show the files location using a right click on it in iTunes and delete it from the laptop drive directly but not delete the entry from iTunes. (Not ideal but apparently works)
    - Keep larger files on an external drive and change iTunes Preferences not to import to the main library - when the drive is connected you will be able to add new entries to iTunes and synce them. When disconnected iTunes won't delete them from AppleTV as again there's still an entry in the library, just that the file isn't available.
    These are workarounds - it's a shame you can't just drag and drop media to AppleTV manually rather than having to sync things.

  • HT6378 How can I delete photos from my phone and keep them on Icloud?

    I want to make room for more photos on my phone without loosing the photos

    Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
    You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

  • How do you delete photos from the cloud?

    how do you delete photos from the cloud?

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • How do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    how do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    Do you mean photos that were synced from a computer ? If you do then you will need to reconnect your iPad or iPhone (this is the Using iPad forum) to your computer's iTunes and move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync - synced photos can't be deleted directly on a device
