Can I delete/remove files from my iPhone after importing into LR?

Stoked to be able to pull photos and video from my iPhone via LR and skip iPhoto. But it didn't give me the option to 'move' the photos just to copy them. So now I have them all on my laptop but need to delete them from my iPhone to make more room. Deleting on the iPhone is a tetious one by one (checkmarking them) process. Any ideas?

It can't be done by any LR option.  You can do it be means of a script, and Rob Cole (often posts here) has written one.  Not sure if he's made it available to others. 
This has been much discussed, and you'll find a strong polarisation between people like Rob, who think it remiss of Adobe not to include "move" as an option, and people like me that think it a dangerous feature, and shouldn't even be an option!

  • ITunes Match: Can't delete remaining files from the iPhone

    Connected to iTunes Match today: All my songs are in the cloud, the color scale overview shows 0,12 GB (?) for audio files. Still there are almost 500 songs (1,7 GB) in the Device(iPhone)/Music submenu. Some of these are active, some are deactivated, but I can't delete both. On my iPhone, I deleted all remaining songs by "swipe and delete", all songs there show the cloud symbol. 
    How can I delete the remaining files?
    Thank you, Martin

  • Why can't i remove files from my iPhone?

    I have audiobooks and music files on my iPhone and iPod that I would like to remove so that I can put new ones on and I cannot remove them in iTunes.  I never had this problem before iOS 5 and the latest update for iTunes.  I have tried clicking on the file and pressing the delete key and right clicking but the delete/remove option is no longer there.  I have searched the iTunes help file and cannot find any answers.  Does anyone know how to remove these files?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    No one here knows why. No one can help you with so little information because we do not have a crystalball. You will need to provide detailed information about what happens when you try to buy an app in order to begin to help with your issue.

  • If I put my music onto iCloud can I delete the files from my iPhone and stream the music?

    And if I do, will the quality be as good?

    The answer is yes and no. If you are using the free iCloud services then the answer is no, it only serves as a backup for you phone, iPod, etc. However, if you use iTunes Match which costs 20 some dollars a year (I believe) you can stream your music from the cloud as well as videos. How that works? I do not know, I just knot that's one if the features with iTunes Match.

  • After I have deleted a file from my iphone, it still shows the song with a download button? Is there a way to get rid of this totally, so it doesn't show at all?

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).
