Can i delete photos from my comp once they are stored in time capsule without losing them?

Can I delete my photos from my computer after i have backed up to time capsule without losing them?

NO.. this is not how TM works.. once deleted from the Computer, it will be deleted eventually from the back.. when is unknown.
See Q20 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Use an external drive to store the photos and include that in the TM backup.
If you copy the files to a separate directory on the TC, that is different to using TM.
But then you have no backup and the TC has no backup of itself.. indeed it cannot.. nor can TM backup a network drive.
You never want to have only one store of your files. Especially things like photos which are irreplaceable.

    how do you delete photos from the ipad that you don't want?

    If you imported them directly to the iPad (e.g., via camera connection kit) you can just delete them one y one in the photo app. If you synced them you have to delete/move them from the computer and then resync. To find ore info on deleting search the iPad forum for: delete AND photo

  • If I delete files from my computer, do they remain on the time capsule and how do I access them?

    If I delete files from my computer's hard drive do they remain on time capsule? Where? How do I access them?

    So long as the deleted files have been backed up to Time Machine then they will be there for you to acces in the following manner:
    From the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar click and hold to expose the drop-down menu. Select "Enter Time Machine". [The Time Machine volume must be attached to your Mac, of course, otherwise this procedure will not work.] Once you are in Time Machine go to the date when you remember the file being on your internal drive; you can also do a Search for the file name. Once the file has been located you highlight it and click "Replace" and the file will be replaced; if a file of the same name is in the exact same location you will be presented with the option to replace or keep both.

    To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Click the Photos tab.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
    If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
    Click Apply.
    To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
    Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
    Click Apply.

  • How can I delete photos from my phone

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.

    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • 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.

  • I can't delete photos from my ipad

    I Can't delete photos from my iPad it's like the delete key is not active Does anyone know how to fix this

    I can't seem to delete ANY photos or videos from my iPad NO MATTER what I try. And they take up 4.9GB!!! There is NO WAY in **** I have that many phgotos or videos on my iPad -- when I actually go to look at the photos/videos tere are maybe 100 photos and maybe ten videos. How can that take up FIVE GB of space????
    And when I go to General>Usage>Photos and Cameras my Camera Roll, Photo Library and Photo Booth are all greyed out. I can't do ANYTHING with them.
    I have no idea what's going on. I go onto my laptop and open iTunes with the iPad connected -- no hekp at all. I just want to REMOVE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS -- such as theye are, and I STILL can't believe there are almost 5GB's worth of them -- without going through all these insane hoops!!!
    There should just be a simple delete button! But when I do anything in iTunes to "restore" my iPad it warns me that I migfht have to PURCHASE ALL THE APPS I HAVE AGAIN!
    This is so Windows-like I can scarcely believe it's coming from Apple. I've been to a dozen "help' pages BUT NONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SIMPLE ANSWER -- HOW DO I ERASE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM MY IPAD??????????????

  • "Over capacity": How can I delete photos from iPhone / set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone regularily goes over capacity because it stores, or tries to store, too many photos/videos from iCloud on the device.
    How can I delete photos from the iPhone (but not generally from iCloud/Photostream). How can set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone? (I am searching for a setting like "keep the last 2GB of photos/videos from iCloud/Photostream, but not more than that. I know how to turn iCloud off in total, but that is not what I would prefer to do, I just would like to set reasonable maximum.)
    Thank you for your ideas!
    Generally, I someone could point me to a good tutorial on how local photos vs. iCloud photos vs. Photostream are supposed to work that would be great as well, because I have many other problem with Apple's system in that regard as well (esp., despite that obviously a lot of space is taken up by photos/videos on my device, my iPhone still downloads recent photos/videos over 3G... I also have the problem that all photos appear double if I try to copy to my Mac with ImageCapture or iPhoto, but there is only a single copy (no HDR, burst or the like) when seen with the Photos.app of the iPhone itself... I came to believe that Apple's photo system is somewhere between counterintuitive and plainly not working... (/rant off) )

    Sorry there are no settings to set max capacity.

    Synced photos cannot be deleted on the iPad. Only photos taken with the iPad and transferred with the Camera Connection Kit can be deleted.
