Does iCloud erase iPhone delete photos from the phone

I hope it does

The only connection iCloud has with photos is Photo Stream. That's where the last 1000 photos you took with your iPhone are uploaded into the cloud and synced with your Macs running iPhoto. iCloud does not erase anything from an iPhone, or an iPad for that matter.
Please post back if that doesn't answer your question, or if I misunderstood.

  • 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.
    1) 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?
    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.

    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.

    No. The photos will remain in iPhoto on your computer. You are just deleting them from the iPad.

    how do you delete photos from the cloud?

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

    Hello all!
    Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
    When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
    However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
    So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
    Thanks!

    The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

  • Deleting photos from the hard drive

    When I delete photos from the library, they remain in the folders in my pictures folder. Is there an easy way to erase them from iphoto and my hard drive at the same time?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi andrew,
    you have to empty iPhoto's trash bin. It's all the way at the bottom of the source window (or in the menubar.... iPhoto/empty trash)

  • Does iCloud let me store photos from my mac or just via photostream? I'm trying to regain some hard drive space...

    Just photostream so far.  The only complete local library you can offload so far is your music library from iTunes.

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!
