Deleting Photo's on Iphone?

Why when I select multiple photos on my iphone to delete, it says delete from everywhere? I only want them to be off of my iphone but I don't want them completely deleted from my photostream/computer/other devices. I just don't want them on my phone, since it's taking up a lot of memory.

Thanks, but does that mean if it deletes from photostream that I won't have a saved copy in the icloud? Where else would it have saved?

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.

2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone

how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

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).

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

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

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you have deleted your photos, you can only restore them from a back up.

How do I delete photos from my iPhone that have been downloaded from my pc?

I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)

"I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc"
The same way you put them there. The sync process. open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone , sync
"or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)"
You can delete them when you import the photos to your computer - using whatever softare that you import them with or you can go to the pics and hit the trash can on the bottom of the screen.

How to delete photos/pics from iPhone 3G???

Please help. I am at a loss. How do you delete photos/pics (that you uploaded) from iPhone 3G??? I see no delete button, no trash button or anything that would instruct me to remove the photo?
Thanks.

You can delete photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll only and only one at a time.
Photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this or the Image Capture application. After the import is complete, both applications include an option to erase all photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can delete select photos.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted on or from your iPhone. You can remove any or all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the same way they were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.

HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

Hello paolo@spring,
Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

How to remove recently deleted photo album off iPhone by iTunes?

Using iTunes how can i remove the recently deleted photos from my iPhone 4s?

You can't remove the "Recently Deleted"album off your iPhone. You can empty the folder or wait for the photos in the folder to age out (30 days).
This is a feature added to help the many users who accidentally deleted photos from their iPhones, iPads, etc. or later had second thoughts about the deletions.

After loading my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhotos it prompts me to delete photos from my iPhone. When I agree to this my photos never delete. my iPhone is out of storage due to I can't delete photos. What am I doing wrong?

After loading my photos from my iphone to my mac iphoto it gives me the option to delete photos on my phone. When I click to delete the photos do not delete from my phone. I am out of storage due to I can not delete photos from my iphone.

That problem is probably with your iPhone and not with iPhoto.
But try to download again to your Mac, this time use "Image Capture" instead of iPhoto.
Launch Image Capture from your applications folder.
Connect your phone to a USB port.
Select all the photos in your camera roll to be deleted.
Then press the "delete" key.
If there are photos on your iPhone that have been synced with iTunes, they can only be deleted by syncing again and deselecting the albums:

If even Image Capture cannot wipe your Camera Roll, you need to trouble shoot your iPhone. Try the three R's, reset, restart, restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

Restore your iPhone from the last backup you made before you deleted the photos from the iPhone. An iCloud backup (or an iTunes backup) saves the content of the camera roll.
