Deleting photo stream from iPad but not other devices

I created a photo stream last year to share pictures with my relatives. It shows up on my iMac, my wife's MBP and my iPad as well as the relatives computers and phones.  Now another relative has created a stream for this year and it currently appears on all of those devices.
I would like to delete the old photo stream from just my iPad  to free up some much needed space while leaving it on the other devices. I also want to keep receiving pictures in the new photo stream which appears to mean I cannot turn off iCloud. When I click edit and click on the X at the corner of the old photos stream, it says it is going to delete it from all devices.
How can I just delete the old one from just my iPad?

This is not possible as far as I know. The best option would be to save the photos from that photo stream to a computer using iPhoto or Aperture and then disband the photo stream (giving the other shared members plenty of notice so they can nab those photos to local storage as well).

  • I want to delete photos on my ipad but not delete them from my main computer?

    After deleting my photos from my iPad to make room for more, does this automatically delete them from my main computer or is there a mechanism to prevent them from being deleted from the main computer?

    If you are referring to photo stream, then if you set your computer up correctly to have photo stream photos automatically imported into iPhoto events, then deleting the photos from your photo stream album, on another device, will not delete them from the computer.

  • How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

    My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

    To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream).  To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your mom's phone wont be effected by this.  Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.)  Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

  • If I put pictures on my IMac. Can photo stream send them to my other devices.

    If I put pictures on my iMac can photo stream send them to my other devices?

    Of course. However, note that you need iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 on your iMac, and that the other devices must be an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iCloud, another Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 and OS X 10.7.2 or later, or a PC with iCloud Control Panel.
    The first thing you have to do is to upload your photos to Photo Stream, but first you need to enable Photo Stream > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2710
    Then, to add photos to Photo Stream, open iPhoto and drag the photos you want to "iCloud" or "Photo Stream" in the iPhoto or Aperture sidebar. This will make that your photos appear on other devices, so just go to them and copy them to the internal memory, because Photo Stream deletes your photos after 30 days. If you have got an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can find your photos in the Photos application, and in a PC, you can find them in My Pictures folder.
    For any question you have > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

    Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad.  We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream.  I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook.  I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad...  Any ideas?

  • How do I delete document from ipad but not iCloud?

    I looked at the help on the iCloud page where I can log in from my mac. It says I can delete a document off my ipad but not the cloud by going in to settings and selecting the file in there. All I can find is a toggle switch to turn iCloud on/off for pages. I can't find access to individual documents there.

    Ok tried again, figured it out.

  • HT1420 delete app from ipad but NOT iphone

    Want to disable an app on my ipad but not my iphone. Is there a way? One is mine and mine alone. The other (bill - not device) is paid for and monitored by my company.

    You turn off iMessage on your iPad. When you block a number/Apple ID, that block will be synced across all iOS devices using your Apple ID.

  • How do I delete Photo Stream from Win XP PC

    I have turned off Photo Steam on one of my 2 iPads, and both iphones, and should only have 30 pics in Photo Stream from the 1st iPad. However, when I look at photo stream on Apple TV, I have all of the photos that were ever in photo stream (hundreds). I have reset my iCloud photo stream online to empty, but I can't get rid of all those phoptos that I don't want. I can't install iCloud control panel, as I only have an XP, and I don't find the photos in the C dive/Users.
    Where would I find the photos?

  • HT4910 If I delete tv show from iPad because not enough memory can I redownload later

    I've downloaded a tv series onto my iPad but not all the episodes downloaded due to the amount of memory on my iPad and what was downloaded was not in order of episodes. Can I delete a few of the episodes and then redownload them at a later date?  Thanks

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

  • How do you delete photo albums from IPad?

    Apart from deleting individual photos, is there anyway of deleting camera roll,photostream or last import?
    David

    Hey Jamiesd45,
    Thanks for the question. The best way to quickly remove photos from your iPad would be to import these to your computer. Depending on the application you use, you may be able to quickly remove those photos that have been imported. The following article provides more information:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Additionally, you can disable Photo Stream from Settings > iCloud. For photos that were synced from a computer (“Last Import”), uncheck the “Sync Photos” box in iTunes when syncing your iPad.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How do I delete photo albums from Ipad 2?

    How do I delete photo albums or photos in photo albums from IPad 2? 

    If the photos that you want to delete are in the Camera Roll, just tap on the photo that you want to delete, then tap the trash can in the upper right hand corner and select delete. If you are in the thumbnail view, tap on the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and then tap on the photo or photos that you want to delete, then tap on delete in the upper left part of the screen.
    If the photos that you want to delete are on the iPad from a previous sync with iTunes, you have to sync to iTunes to delete them. Deselect the photos in iTunes while your iPad is connected and then sync and the photos will be removed from the device
