Can I delete photos on my iPhone or iPad after they are on my iCloud? How do I retrieve pics from iCloud?

Can I delete pictures off my device once I have pics on my photo stream? How do I pull them from iCloud once they are deleted?
Thanks!!!

Yes.  To back up your photos, save them to your computer while they were in the camera roll, as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You will get an option to delete them from your device after they are imported.
If you have photo stream photos that you need to back up, save them from your my photo stream album to your camera roll.  Then they can be imported too.

  • I am organizing my mom's iPhoto.  Can I delete her albums and then recreate them so they are accurate?  Will I lose all the pics or will they stay in the photo library?

    I am in the process of organizing my mom's iPhoto.  She has so many albums that have incorrect photos in them that I would like to delete the albums and start over.  If I do that and then organize her events accurately, can I then recreate the albums correctly?
    Thanks

    Yes, as long as you're sure it's albums you're deleting and not Events.  lf you delete an Event you're deleting the photos as well.

  • HT201302 I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account?  Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!

    They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
    Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

  • How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

    I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad.  I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • Can i delete the pictures off of my phone since they are going up to the cloud anyway

    Can I go ahaed and delete the pictures off of my phone since they are uploaded to the cloud and google?

    If all the photos you need are in the cloud, yes you can delete them. But do not delete the photos in Photo Stream as theses are the cloud's photos.

  • Can I use my data from iPhone onto iPad if they are with different networks?

    Is it possible to use my iPhone data on my iPad if they are both with different networks? Thanks

    You don't have to be connected to the same network in order to transfer files – your devices automatically set up a direct wireless connection for AirDrop.

  • HT4759 my ipone and i pad dont delete my email at same time even thought they are both on icloud

    my iphone and i pad to do delete emails at the same time even thought they are under cloud

    Syncing changes to email cannot be done if you are using a POP/POP3 email account.  Only IMAP or exchange accounts will sync changes across your devices.  If you have a POP3 account you will have to switch to an IMAP account, such as Gmail or iCloud email, in order to do what you want.

  • How can I remove updated apps on app store page after they are updated and say open?

    HOW CAN I REMOVE UPDATED APPS FROM UPDATE PAGE ON IPAD3 IOS7 AFTER THEY ARE UPDATED AND SAY OPEN?

    You don't.
    Apple has instituted auto updating , this is a feature for users to check what has updated recently.
    The open button opens the app.
    It will keep a rolling list, about 20-3O days back.

  • 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).
