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:

  • 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 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.

  • How can I delete photos on my iphone after they aredownloaded to my ipad

    I have too many photos on my iphone camera roll. I want to delete from my iphone but keep them on my ipad.
    When i try to delete, the message says they will be deleted from all my devices...help.

    You can import photos from the iPhone to the computer and then sync them to the other devices, such as the iPad. It isn't safe to keep a large number of pictures in the Camera Roll. They are designed to be imported to the computer just like pictures on a digital camera. If something happens to the phone, this is the first thing individuals gripe about losing. If the pictures are on the computer, at least you can sync them back to another device if necessary.

  • 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

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

    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.

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

    I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!  This is seriously frustrating!.
    Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this? 
    Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

    I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How can I delete Photo albums in iPhone 4s.  I am using OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro

    I would like to delete several albums from my iPHone 4s.   I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8.   I only can delete single photos from camera roll.

    You can't delete albums in your device because it syncs your iPhoto configuration. To delete an album, you must delete it in iPhoto, but there's a solution. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the sidebar, go to Photos tab and select the albums you want to sync
