Delete photos from photo stream but keep in iphoto?

I want to delete the pictures in my photostream on my phone, but I know once I do this they will be deleted from all other devices. How can I save all my photostream pictures that are already in iphoto and then remove them from my phone without them disappearing on my computer?

As long as they are in the iPhoto library and not just in the iCloud category on the Side Bar then you will be good.
It will delete them from iCloud in the Shared section on the Side Bar and on all devices but they will remain in the iPhoto if you imported them.
If you are really unsure, drag them all from your Photo Stream into a folder on your desktop. That way if they weren'y imported you will still have them after you delete your Photo Stream photos.
Photo Stream will only keep 1000 photos on an iOS device deleting the oldest to keep you at 1000. You can just let Photo Stream manage itself. Apple does not count Photo Stream against your iCloud storage.

hi i deleted my photo stream but saved the photos in a new album in my ipod touch but when i deleted it the photos are cannot be found! are there any chance to get those photos recovered? really need help with this. thanks!

No. Since when you create photo albums by using photos from PhotoStream the album only is a pointer to the photo ub PhotoStream
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from the Photos tab and your albums and iCloud. Photos imported from My Photo Stream to other devices won’t be deleted.

What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

I have a Zen Photo need to delete music from my pc but keep music on

I need to delete the music on my pc but keep the music on the Zen.
What problem will have in doing this?
What will happen when I connect the Zen to my pc?

You don't use Windows Media Player? You have never stated the O.S. on the computer you are using . Is it Xp or Vista? I can see that your Sync Manager is not up to date. The Sync Manager has been integrated into the Creative ZenCast Organizer Suite 2.0.0. That also gives you the ability to subscirbe to & download Podcasts. I must say I have discovered them recently & love it. There are audiobooks that are in the form of podcasts I found this a useful thing . You can set the sync organizer to be manual to not delete things automatically. Or you can use windows media player0 to add music? manually also.

How do I get my photos not to auto download into photo stream, but keep photo stream on?

My entire family has apple devices and we enjoy photo stream a lot! However, with my new iphone 5, I do not want pictures I take to auto download to photo stream! This being said, I cannot find a way to do this without turning off photo stream all together... something I do not want to do. So what do I do?

How to delete messages from IMAP server but keep on computer???

Hi
I am using Mail to receive my email messages from the University's IMAP server. My problem is that I need to keep copies of my sent and received emails for archives on my computer but not on the server because space is limited. However, when I check the 'remove messages from server' box in the preferences, it also removes them all from my Mail inbox and sent mail folders. Consequently, I'm constantly needing to go to the server (once a week) and manually delete the messages when my folder is too full and then I lose all of my messages.
Can someone please tell me how I can keep all of my sent, received and trashed emails on my computer without them being stored on the server?
thanks
adam

Eric is right. An IMAP account is designed specifically to keep email on line, on a server somewhere on the planet. That way you can use any machine anywhere and see your email. A POP account is designed to actually download your email to the specific machine that you are using and remove it from the server. Although there are ways around that...
So if you want to keep an email on your computer and you want to delete it from the server, you have to make an "On my Mac" mailbox.

HT4915 songs have downloaded into my iCloud that I did not want there. How do I delete them from the cloud but keep them in my library?

I recently downloaded the iCloud/iTunes Match.. both of which I still have no idea how to use.. my songs began automatically downloading somewhere on my iPhone.. there are alot of songs in my iTunes Library on my MacBook.. and I didnt want all of them to get downloaded to my iCloud/iPhone..how do I start over and choose what gets downloaded? Also, I have purchased several songs from iTunes Store that did not get downloaded to my purchased list.. for example: I purchased 2 Katy Perry Songs, only one was uploaded to my phone..why and how do i fix it? I've never owned an iPhone and I fear my phone is smarter than me.. Help.. How does all this stuff work?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you subscribe to iTunes match, you cannot selectively choose tunes to add to it, it's either or nothing. When you then enable iTunes match on your iPhone, none of the tunes are downloaded to your phone, you simply get a list of everything that is available in your iTunes library and the ability to download them as and when you want.

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 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 camera roll but keep same photo in album

how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photo stream only keeps a thousand photos, after which it will start deleting the oldest ones.

HT4858 with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

To my knowledge, pictures in photo stream stay there untill there is more than 1000 of them, then after that the oldest ones are removed from photo stream. If your photos have synced to your devices via photo stream or manual syncing they will be there until you elect to delete them.

Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.

Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.
