Delete pics from photostream but keep on iPhone

I have some 'risqué' pics on my iPhone that I would not like my kids to see on the photo stream on their iPads or Apple Tv, but I would like to keep these on my iPhone. However, since the ios8 update the photo stream folder is gone so I can no longer select what goes to my photo stream. How do I stop photos from being synced - and remain private. Pls help.

J Pitman,
Could I just add a note of caution here please?
Keeping the only copy of your music on the iPod is a very risky option. What if you needed to do a software restore (which is a very common fix for iPod problems)? This would erase the contents of your iPod. Any purchased music would be lost and need to be purchased again.
What if the iPod were stolen/lost/needed repair?
It’s much better to keep the music on your computer, and if storage space is at a premium, one option would be to buy an external hard drive, which are cheaper than ever nowadays, and keep your music library on that.
The iPod is a music player and was never intended as a long term storage device for the only copy of your music.

Sorry for the sermon, but we see a lot of folks weeping and wailing here that they lost all their music.
EDIT
Rich beat me to it! : )

As given, removing from the library causes the songs to be removed during sync. So the space taken up is neccessary... What would you do if your iPhone where lost, stolen, damaged or needed to be restored?
If you ned more room for storage buy a bigger drive. In fact buy two, one to use as a backup for your library and all your other important files.

I would like to delete apps from itunes but not from my iphone

Hi,
I own an iPhone 5S with iTunes 11 on a Windows PC.
I can not see any reason why I would want to waste gigs of my hard drive on iphone apps, which I cannot run on my computer and which I can install from the cloud using the app store on my iPhone.
Is there any way to delete all the apps stored on my PC, without it affecting the apps store on my iPhone. Essentially I'd like to free up some hard drive space by deleting them ALL from my PC, but keep my iPhone as it is. I'd obviously like it to sync my iPhone, but ignore all apps.
What would happen if I just delete them all from iTunes on my PC?
Thanks
Matt

You cannot delete IOS, without IOS (iPhone operating system) your iPhone cannot function.
Try this basic troubleshooting steps:
Restart / Reset

I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

You don't.

PhotoStream will store 1000 of your most recent photos and synch with iPhoto on your Mac.

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone

How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.

If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Note: You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Turn off the device you want to remove.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
Note: If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.

How do I permanently delete pics from MacBook Pro

How do I permanently delete pics from MacBookPro, Ipad, Iphone?

Connect the iPhone/iPad to Mac, with the device in iTunes selected, de-select pics and do a sync.
After that on Mac, use iPhoto to view images, drag those images you do not want to the trash.

3.2.3 Update To delete photos from photostream

All the software is updated. Aperture 3.2.3. iOS 5.1.
Aperture updates suggests that you can delete photos from photostream and it will delete the same pictures on all devices.
I can delete the pictures, but it doesn't delete the pictures on my other devices.
Any suggestions?

As Clem says... but if that doesn't fix everything, some people have had to go to iCloud.com and clear the Photo Stream (you can only clear the whole thing there). But if you need to do this, first make sure all your Photo Stream images are saved somewhere. You can add them back once you've cleared it.
This ApertureExpert thread describes what I'm talking about.

Deleting Images from Photostream

How do you delete images from Photostream?? Can you??
Thanks
Sky

Seems from what I've read even the reset option in icloud.com doens't actually delete anything. another forum mentioned that what it would do is this:
Let's say you have an iPad with photostream off. and with your iPhone photostream on, you take a picture, it uploads to the cloud. Then if you do a reset to the cloud, then turn on your iPad, that photo you took on your phone won't download to the iPad. So it's not like the photo really is ever deleted on the cloud (until 30 days). It's more like it's resetting the old versus the new with devices that enable the cloud.
Another tip I saw was if you turn off wifi, then your photos won't auto upload to the photostream so gives you a chance to review before they go up so to speak. I think someone put it best that it's not intended to store your photos forever. It's intended to allow multiple devices to get to one photo and save it off.
my 2 cents!
