Confused about deleting pics on iphone

I know this probably has been answered in a previous thread and have saw some thing that help, but I am still a bit confused about photo stream and photos.
What is the difference from how photos get saved (on an iphone) in photo stream vs. just being stored as memory?
Do they, photos, get stored in the cloud or physically on my phone?
How come when I go to delete photos on my iphone I get a message that warns it will delete on all my devises to include my mac?
When I deleted a few pics from my iphone they got deleted from my mac. In a nutshell how can I ensure that my mac will permantly store all of my pics regardless if I delete them from my iphone?
Thanks very much

ok ill try to help
photostream stores the pics you take for 30 days. if you delete them from here removes from all devices.
camera roll is the pics you take. can be deleted from device and only device. to save these import to your computer see.

your photo library is imported from computer to phone. you can delete these from device they have to be synced off

How to retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up in icloud or i tunes?

How do I retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up on icloud or itunes?

You don't.
Turn on PhotoStream in iCloud.
Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream
PhotoStream will store 1000 of your most recent photos and synch with iPhoto on your Mac.

Deleteing pics on Iphone 5

I just recently got an iphone 5 and i put all my pics from my sd card on my computer and synced them to my phone with itunes. Now if i go into my phone i want to delete certain pics but keep others but it will no let me. I click on select on the photo and go to the trash can icon and it is unlit and will not allow me to delete any of them. How can i delete them and keep others. Did i go about putting them on the phone in the wrong manner Thanks

Hi luckyd49,
If you are having an issue with being unable to import pictures from your iPhone to your Mac, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Confused about deleting objects

I'm completely new to ActionScript, and I'm having trouble
understand how to delete objects.
If I make a new object, for instance "var shape:Shape = new
Shape();", and later I try to delete that object ("delete(shape)"),
it spits an error, telling me "Attempt to delete fixed the property
drip". This seems to go for every object.
What's the correct to delete an object? Within the object
itself, I tried "delete(this)", which doesn't throw an error, but
doesn't seem to work, either.

I still don't quite understand. If I understand correctly, I
don't delete objects, I just leave them alone, right? Except this
doesn't seem to be the case.
In my main AS, I have the following code:
public function RainTower() {
var rainTimer:Timer = new Timer(10);
rainTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, DripDrop,
false, 0, true);
rainTimer.start();
private function DripDrop(event:TimerEvent):void {
var drip:Raindrop = new Raindrop();
addChild(drip);
In a separate file, I have this:
public function Raindrop() {
trace("New drop");
shape.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x0000FF, 1);
var offset:Number = 0;
shape.graphics.drawRect(mouseX+offset, mouseY+offset, 3, 3);
addChild(shape);
updateTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Update,
false, 0, true);
updateTimer.start();
public function Update(event:TimerEvent):void {
shape.x += 1;
shape.y += 10+_speedY;
shape.alpha -= 0.05;
if(shape.alpha < 0) {
updateTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Update);
updateTimer.stop();
It works like you'd expect, except that no matter what you
do, things start bogging down after half a minute. How am I
supposed to deal with the Raindrop instances that I no longer need?
Obviously they're still having a residual effect on things.

HT201317 Do I delete photos off my Macbook so their deleted off my iPhone or do i delete them off of my iPhone so they are deleted off my Macbook? SO confused.

Do I delete photos off of my events or photos on my Macbook so they're deleted off my iPhone
OR
Do I delete photos off of my iPhone so they are deleted off my iPhoto on my Macbook? I'm SO confused.
I just want to delete the photos and not have them come up again when I plug my phone in.
I also don't want duplicates of my photos.

iPhoto sees your phone as a digital camera and offers to import any photos it finds in your camera roll, and only if you click the Import button in iPhoto. If you don't want to import photos, don't connect the phone to iPhoto. If you want to transfer photos from iPhoto to your phone, do that from the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync. If iPhoto is automaticallly opening when you connect your phone, go to iPhoto>Preferences>General and choose "No application" from the drop-down list next to "Connecting camera opens:".
Or are you talking about photo stream photos?

How do I delete pics/videos from my iPhone 4

How do I delete pics/videos from my iPhone 4 if it is not even able to do a restore/backup? A couple days ago I received an alert on my phone that said something like, "You cannot make or receive calls. Connect to iTunes to restore." I connected to iTunes and backed up the phone then started the restore. Before the restore could begin it ended the process and said, "Something is wrong with your iPhone please contact support, Apple Store etc". The Apple Store could not even complete a restore. I have since got a new iPhone but, I want to sell the old phone and I am afraid all my info/pics can be retrieved. Is there any other way to delete all of my pics, videos etc?

Restore it to factory settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

HT5043 So I was a little skeptical about deleting photos from my iPhone but I did. Shouldn't I be able to access them on iCloud? Because I can't find a way to view all my old photos that were backed up before I deleted them.

No you can not access yoru photos on iCloud
PhotoStream is a way to share photos between devices - it is not a way to backup photos or to view photos

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

I am so confused about iCloud. My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone. How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

I am so confused about iCloud. My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone. How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

"All his information" may or may not include things customarily stored in iCloud. Perhaps all the information is on both devices because they were both recently synced using the same iTunes sync.
Do you have to have iTunes Match? No. Many folks do not have iTunes Match. The music purchased from iTunes is always available to the purchaser. Other music is stored in iTunes on the person's computer.

Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either. Hadn't thought of that.
I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me. The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you. But here it is anyway:
Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud. So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share.
I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded. You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac. This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice.
I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone.
Cheers,

Deleting photos from iphone - not good results

I tried deleting all my photos from my iphone using itunes and the sync system. well it did delete all the photos from my mobile me account, but only about 1/4 of the photos on the phone were deleted and some of them are really messed up. while doing all this the phone locked up and until the battery went dead the phone was junk. what are the odds? Anyone have any idea how i can delete the rest of the photos from my phone? peace to you all!

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. So if I want one pic from a folder, I would have to basically create another folder with this one pic. The only problem with this solution, is I want to keep all the pics in this one folder (Picasa) to organize. I'm new to iPod and I can't believe this is the only way to delete pic(s) from an iPod.
Thanks again.

Delete Pic. in IPhoto - will they stay in my" I Disc"

Heard when you delete pics in I Photo 4, you will also delete them wherever they are on your computer. Is this true? What about my "I Disc" and Homepage?
Any hints how to dust delete from Library only?

Deleting an app from the Usage area in the Settings app deletes the app from your iPhone. You can download the app again from the app store without having to pay again for it. be sure to back up your data first though.
another option is to do the iOS 8.1 update while your iPhone is connected to your computer. Start itunes on your computer, connect your phone, select the General area, backup the phone and then do the update. Doing the update this way requires much less free space on the phone because the update file will be downloaded to your computer and extracted there instead of on your iPhone.
when the update is complete though it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.

Confused about different calendars

I have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 5, and an original iPad.
I am confused about the purpose of the different Calendars: Home, Calendar, iCloud, and Calendar([email protected]).
Also listings on my iPad "Show Calendars" : From My Mac, cal.me.com, and [email protected]
I am retired and have no work commitments so I just need one calendar that I can access and put events in from all 3 devices and can see them on all 3 devices.
I find that if I put events in from my Macbook, they show up on both ioS devices, but if I put an event in on my iPad, it does not show up on my Macbook regardless on which Calendar I enter it on.
Is there somewhere I can find in simple terms which calendar I can use on all 3 devices and delete the others?
Thank you.
