Does removing saved iMessage on iPhone remove them from my Mac?

I have about 7.5GB of saved stuff in the Messages app, most of it are pictures and video, etc dating back since my first iphone. My question - is there a way for me to safely remove the saved messages from the message app on my iPhone but leave all that history in the messages application on my Macbook? Its very convenient being able to go back in history and find a message on my Macbook but I dont need all that scroll back history on my phone especially at the expense of 7.5gb. Everything is synced up with iCloud and all of that.

Deleting messages on a device has no effect on other devices.

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?ipa

    I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?

    Thanks for the info. - I now know that deletion works both ways!! - (unlike POP where emails deleted from the ipad also deleted them from the mac even before I could read them,  whereas emails deleted from the mac were not removed from the ipad!!! - ie. the ipad was the master over the mac - the slave).  Prior to changing to imap I used to transfer all nongarbage emails from inbox to mailboxes before my husband could ask if he could delete emails on his ipad. I have noticed however if you do this in imap, they are removed from the inbox on the ipad as well (this did not happen with POP). So we still have to check but the number is less so we like imap better than POP.
    Thank again

  • I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.  I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

    How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
    You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • HT4847 I am trying to uncheck the data and documents option for storing this information in iCloud, however, the only option I am given is to cancel the request or to remove them from my Mac (but not iCloud apparently). This is wrong! Any ideas?

    It seems that--now that I have purchased storage from iCloud--I will be forced to store my documents, data, etc there and do not have the option of choosing not to store information.  I tried to uncheck my documents and data option and the only choice I was given was to cancel the request or to have all the documents removed from my Mac! I cannot sign out and sign back in either.  I restarted my computer but that hasn't helped either.  Does anyone know what to do about this?  It's crazy that Apple would hold my data hostage and offer me the option of using this service or not having access to my own information EXCEPT in iCloud.  I wish I'd researched it more before I tried it.  Buyer beware.

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

  • What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD.  If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over.  There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process.

    I have a jailbroked iphone,and it seems that it has some viruses how can I remove them from my iphone?

    You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
    Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

  • Does deleting photos remove them from my hard drive?

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements 6.
    iphoto then imported 1,172 thumbnails.
    Does this mean these pictures are taking up twice as much space as needed by being in the library
    and if I delete them will I delete them from the programme?
    thanks,
    Jacquie

    Jacquie
    You’ll need to give us more information than this.
    This:
    I have just installed Photoshop Elements 6.
    does not cause this:
    iphoto then imported 1,172 thumbnails.
    Are you sure these are thumbnails? Where did they come from?
    Does this mean these pictures are taking up twice as much space as needed by being in the library
    Depends... iPhoto - by default - copies files into the Library. The best way to use iPhoto is to allow it to do this and then remove the other filing system.
    and if I delete them will I delete them from the programme?
    IF you delete them from iPhoto then you will remove them from the Library and the Hard Drive - but it won’t remove the files in your other filing system.
    It might be best if you explain what you want to achieve, then we may be able to help your more concisely.

  • If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    I'm quite sure that importing favorites will not delete the originals because it is only "copying" them.
    Hope that helps.

  • If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

    I don't think so, I think it stores them on the cloud. I just did a test on my own iPad and although I deleted the source image in the Photos app the image remains in the Photo Stream

  • Will deleting pictures from my photo stream on my phone remove them from my iCloud albums?

    I am almost out of storage on my phone so I uploaded all of my photos to icloud and deleted them from my camera roll. They are all still in my photo stream though; is that taking up room on my phone? And if I delete them from my photo stream, does that remove them from my iCloud albums as well?

    Hi kellyntherese,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Did you backup your iPhone to iCloud and or iTunes before deleting the pictures from your camera roll?  Photo Stream is not a storage location.  Do you have a Mac or a PC?

    Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
    No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
