How do I get Lightroom to delete photos from my iPhone after importing them?

Lightroom 4 imports photos and videos from my iPhone and puts them where I want them to go, and names the directories the way I want. All good. But it also leaves the photos on the phone to be manually deleted. Is there some way to have it delete the photos after import?

Not from Lightroom.

    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.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

  • 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 do i delete photos from my iPhone without losing them on my Macbook?

    I have imported my photos from my iPhone 4s to my MacBook and want to delete them from my phone to free up space. It seems that when I delete them from the phone they are also deleted from my iPhoto on the Macbook. How do i make sure they remain on the macbook?

    This happens because you're using iCloud for photo sharing.  Duplicate the photos on your macbook and then turn off iCloud for photos.  That will delete all cloud copies of the photos, and in the future any photos you take on your phone won't be shared automatically with your computer - meaning that if you copy them off of your phone, the ones on your phone can then be safely deleted.

    Yes.
    It would have no effect on your computers content.

  • How do I get iPhoto to delete photos from my SD card?

    There was a time when I uploaded photos from an SD card into iPhoto, iPhoto would ask if I wanted to delete the images from the SD card after the upload finished. That is not happening any more. I have been through all of the iPhoto preferences and don't see anywhere to select an option to delete photos after an upload is done. I seem to remember there being a check box in the photo upload window I could check to indicate to delete the photos. I am not seeing that check box any more when I upload photos.
    I would prefer to delete the images through iPhoto than to use my camera to reformat my SD card.
    I am using iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Trashing the plist file will restore all options to the factory settings, so you should be asked again. That said, it's not wise.
    Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
    1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
    2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
    3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from automatically deleting photos from my camera after import?

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 and importing photos from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS35 via USB.
    From what I can gather, iPhoto should prompt me after an import as to whether I want to delete the imported photos from the camera or not.
    Instead, I get no option at all and iPhoto goes right ahead and deletes the imported photos.This is a problem as the camera is shared and used across a few Macs.
    I can't find any options anywhere in iPhoto to prevent this behaviour. I've made sure that iPhoto is launched with the camera (I thought this might be the problem initially), but to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks Tom,
    I fear that either I'm stupid or blind because I don't see that option in the Advanced pane either.  Here's what I have in Advanced:
    Enable this account
    Include when automatically checking for new messages
    Compact mailboxes automatically (this is greyed out)
    Keep copies of messages for offline viewing (then a pull down menu):
         All messages and their attachments (currently this is selected)
         All messages, but omit attachments
         Only messages that I've read
         Don't keep copies of any messages
    Check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:
         IMAP Path Prefix:
         Port:
         Authentication:
    Use IDLE command if the server supports it (this is greyed out)
    I see the option you're talking about on my older computer that's running Leopard, but not on the new one running Lion.
    Cheers,
    Bonnie

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone after putting them on iPhoto?

    When all of my photos are on iPhoto, can I just delete them off of my phone and will they still be on iphoto?

    First make sure your iPhone is signed into your iCloud account and is setup to use Photo Stream:
    First make sure you're signed in to iCloud on the Mac in System/iCloud preferences and have Photo Stream enabled:
    Next launch iPhoto, go to the Photo Stream preference pane and make sure it's set up as shown here:
    You will have to wait a bit until Photo Stream has time to synce between your iPhone and your Mac.
    Check the Events for imports from Photo Stream.  They'll be titled something like this:
    You can set the sort order in the Event mode to this to get the latest imports at the top of the Event window:

  • How do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone

    how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

    The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
    Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
    article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
    Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
    Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
    This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
    Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

  • How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

    How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

    I have seen an solution:
    1. When in the iOS 7 Photo app you tap Photo button in the bottom toolbar.
    2. Then you tap Select in the top right Navbar
    3. Then find a photo which is NOT in the Photo-stream and NOT in the Camera Roll. I have a bunch of these for some reason after updating to iOS 7. These photos will get a checkmark, but will not turn the trash can blue.
    4. You can then select a photo that IS IN Photo-stream. It will also get a checkmark and the counter will display (2), and the trash can will turn Blue.
    5. You can then tap the blue trash can. The Photo-stream selected photo gets deleted BUT the photo the selected photo that is NOT in Photo-stream and NOT in camera roll IS Still There!

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • How do you delete photos from your iphone?

    how do you delete photos from your iphone?

    Goto Settings, select iCloud, select PhotoSteam, and turn it off - you will get a warning message that this will delete the photos in photostream (but they are in your camera roll and albums so no worries) and delete.  You will now have only Camera Roll (where you CAN delete photos directly on your phone), and any albums you've imported - which you can sync using iTunes.
    Otherwise you can also loginto iCloud from Mac or PC and delete the photostream there
    hope Apple changes this for future upgrades - would like to be able to delete ALL photos directly on my phone

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.
