Deleting Photos from Device with iCloud Photo Library

How do I delete photos locally from my device when I'm using iCloud photo library? Whether I'm deleting from the Photos tab or Albums > All Photos, I see the same "this photo will be deleted from iCloud photo library on all devices" message. How can I delete the photo from my device, but keep it in the iCloud photo library? Currently, my photos tab and all photos album are exactly the same... whats the difference between these features? Thanks!

iCloud Photo Library is currently only for iOS devices, but it disables syncing with the Mac. It is simply not yet ready.
iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ) The Mac part has not yet been released, but will be available early next year. We do not know yet, what the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library will be like. The Photos.app for Mac will be able to upload to iCloud Photo Library.  If you simply wait till early next year, it will be the easiest transit. Then you will be able to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture Libraries to Photos and store the photos in iCloud.
Right now, if you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta on your mobile devices, the usual ways to upload photos from your Mac will be disabled. It will no longer deposable to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream.
To upload photos from the Mac to iCloud Photo Library, mail the photos, put them in your DropBox, or use the uploader on the beta.cloud page (in the photos beta app):  https://beta.icloud.com

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

  • HT4236 how delete photo library on the iphone 5

    How do I delete photo library on the iphone 5?  I have tried going to settings, general, usage, photos & camera, photo library, swipped it and hit delete but it does not delete the photos in photo library.

    You delete them the same way you put it on the phone, unsync it with itunes.  you can only delete pics from your camera roll.

  • Having to delete your same iMessage conversations on multiple devices with iCloud enabled

    I have iCloud enabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.  Apple could possibly develop a feature where if one device with iCloud that is turned on deletes a message conversation, it deletes the converstation on your other (turned on) iCloud devices as well.  This way, when you switch from using your iPhone to iPad, you will not have the 10 different converstations you started on your iPhone that were deleted, on your iPad to delete as well.

    I'm sorry I'm not being clear. I know that the sent boxes are separate. What I meant by combined mailboxes was the inboxes for each of the two accounts across all devices. That is, say, for my MobileMe inbox, being able to see all contents of the MobileMe inbox on all my devices, regardless of which device I first read the message on. And then the same for the other mailbox too. And finally, for these to be marked read / unread on a consistent basis and to be notified on the iOS devices too.
    Not too much to ask?!

  • HT201272 I've accidentally deleted purchases from appearing in iCloud, and iTunes will not even let me re-purchase them, let alone make them appear in "previous purchases" to download.

    I've accidentally deleted purchases from appearing in iCloud, and iTunes will not even let me re-purchase them, let alone make them appear in "previous purchases" to download.

    Are the items still available in the store, and if so have you hidden them (hiding and unhiding) ? Not all content types are available for re-downloading in all countries, and if the content provider has removed an item from the store then it also won't appear for re-downloading.

  • How can i retrieve deleted notes from iphone4 with no back up

    how can i retrieve deleted notes from iphone4 with no back up

    No Backup?
    Simply put, you can't.
    I won't rub salt into it anymore, but I guess you have just learned the importance of backing up your information.
    A mistake we've all made (once).

  • Transferring and Deleting photos from iOs Devices with iCloud Photo Library

    So when there was iPhoto for iOs, it was easy to transfer the folders that I made on my iOs device and then delete those photos using iPhoto for iOs. Now it doesn't seem that easy (when you have a ton of photos on the device.) So has anyone found an easy way to transfer all the photos from a folder and then delete all those photos off of the device once they are transferred?

    Regardless about what else is going on here or the questions you have -- the absolute first thing to know is that if you choose to use "iCloud Photo Library" then you are a "beta tester" who is using a beta service ... namely one that is NOT RELEASED as final or stable. In other words, you cannot depend on it working or keeping your photos.
    THEN the other thing you should realize is that if you use this beta service, then you have turned off your "iCloud Backup" for all yours photos. In other words iCloud will NO LONGER back up your photos.
    All in all the above means that BEFORE you even attempt to use iCloud Photo Library, you better have all your photos backed up to an alternate and outside service or facility (apart from Apple) ... because that will be the only effective backup you will have for your photos.
    You might look into Dropbox as that works well for me.

  • Deleting Photo Library from iPhone 4 - Help!

    Help!  I can't figure out how to delete the Photo Library from my iPhone 4.  Here is what I did:
    I was using my sister's Mac and downloaded some photos she took from her iPhoto onto my iPhone 4.  Now I can see the photos on my phone in a new folder called "Photo Library."  But there isn't an option to delete the photos like there is with the Camera Roll folder.
    When I hook the phone up to my own Mac, the photos don't appear in iPhoto so I can't delete them there.
    When I hook the phone up to my PC, the PC doesn't seem to think the photos are there either.
    When I open the phone with iTunes, the Photo Library folder doesn't appear in the folder options so I can't "unsync" the folder.
    Yet they sure are taking up a lot of space on my phone!!!  I feel like they are permanently stuck on my phone now. My sister lives far away so I can't just plug my phone into her computer again. 
    Will restoring the phone finally get rid of the Photo Library?  I can do this as a last resort but only if I know it will fix the problem.  Thank you!

    Use iTunes.
    Under the Photos tab, choose Sync Photos from and then from the dropdown select choose folder...
    Create a new empty folder by selecting New folder and click Open
    Then Apply and Sync.
    That should do it. At least it did for me

  • Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone.  Please help

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
    Hope this helps someone else too.

  • How do I delete photo library from my iPad?

    how do i delete the photo library from my ipad?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen or via the Edit button in thumbnail view. If you want to select and delete a lot of photos then in thumbnail view tap the Edit button and then try touching the first photo with two fingers and then slide the two fingers (not too quickly) across the photos that you want to remove and they should get ticked (it might take a few attempts)
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - if you want to delete all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder.

  • Deleting Photo Library Pics from iPhone 3g.

    I downloaded 6 pictures onto my iPhone through itunes and they were stored in the Photo Library on my phone. I want to get them off of my phone, so I looked at the other questions posted on here and they said to remove the pictures from the folder that itunes synched with. I did that and now itunes doesn't show that folder anymore as syncing to it, but the pictures are still on my phone. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    For some reason the folder re-appeared and I was able to move them to a new folder.

  • How to delete photo library off iphone 5s

    I only have 221 photos saved on my 32 GB iPhone 5s, but in Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage it shows that 8.9 GB are being used by 'Photos & Camera'!
    Of that, 'Photo Library' is taking up 8.8 GB of space and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.  I went into iTunes and removed the check mark on 'Sync photos',, then re-synced my phone, but that didn't do it.  How do I remove the 'Photo Library' from my phone?  That's an awful lot of memory usage for what appears to be nothing.
    Thanks for any advice you can provide!
