  • 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.

  • 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 iPhone the delete sign does not show

    If the photos came from computer, you have to de-select on computer then do a sync to delete photos from iPhone.

    My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    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 do I delete photos from my iPad but keep them on my mac?

    How do I delete photos from my iPad but keep them on my mac?

    Set iPhoto to automatically import photo stream photos to your iPhoto library:
    Once imported, deleting them from your photo stream will not delete them from your library.  If they aren't imported yet, contol-click on the photos and choose Import.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad without affecting my journal in iPhoto?

    Hi,
    I have recently been on a long trip creating a journal in iPhoto as I go, uploading many gb of photos using the camera connection kit.
    I love the way I can view my journal and tap on photos to see them in full screen and maximum quality.
    I am now home and need to delete all the photos from my iPad after uploading them to my mac. However when I do this, I can no longer view the photos in my journal in full screen. How can I keep the journal looking as great as it is, without not having to go through and delete only pictures not included in my journal? There are many thousand pics on the iPad now so I need to delete them all...
    Please help!
    Paul

    Add the photos you want to your journal.  Then, you delete them from your ipad and they will NOT be deleted from your journal (One of my journals has 1000+ pics of my garden, so I have to delete pics on my 32G ipad).  I've been doing this for 5+ months and never had a problem--all my pics stay in my journal--but note, that every once in a while after I delete the photos from my ipad (via camera roll/photostream-I don't unse iPhoto to delete) it takes up to half an hour for the photos to resync (so sometimes it looks like the photos are missing in the journal but they ALWAYS come back).  Do a test journal and add a page of photos to it.  Then, delete them from your ipad and wait a bit and see what happens.  It always works fine for me, but you could do that just to be on the safe side.

  • 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.

  • 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 can I delete photos from my iPhone 4S without deleting from Mac iPhoto at the same time?

    My iPhone has more than 12gB of photos & video - some 1200 of them. I have transferred them all to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Now I want to delete about 75% of the photos on my phone while I keep the rest safely on my Mac. When I go to delete the photos a warning comes up to say that I am about to delete my photos from all locations but I cannot afford to lose my memories.

    You can't because the actual photos are in the camera roll.  The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos.

  • I can't delete photos from my iPhone (no trashcan visible). How can I delete before I activate my new iPhone.

    It seems that once I backed up my iPhone and iPad to the cloud, whenever I did subsequent back-ups or syncs, it transferred all the photos to my iPhone. Now I can't delete them (no trashcan visible). I don't want all 430+ photos synced when I activate my new iPhone. How do I get rid of unwanted photos?
    HELP!

    It will remove all. If you don't want to remove all then leave the box checked, but then uncheck the photos you want removed. It will remove the ones that are UNCHECKED.
    It might be easier to remove all, then sync the ones you want the same way to the new phone.

  • 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:
