Eek! 1000 photos on phone!

I was editing photos in iPhoto on my iMac and tried to photostream only one photo from an event to my iPhone so I could post it on Instagram.  When I hit "share - photostream" the entire Event populated my phone - almost 350 photos.  I want to remove them from my phone, but not from iMac.  I don't want any other photos already on my phone to be deleted.  Is there a way to do this?  When I try to turn off Photostream on the phone settings I am told that turning it off will remove all the streamed photos from my device. I don't want all of them to go - just the 350 which went there in error.  Cany anybody help?  Thanks!

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

  • Bought a new phone, I had 1000 photos in photostream but only 50 hit my new phone

    I upgraded to iphone5 yesterday, there were 1000 photos in photostream with regular back ups to icloud.  But I was only able to transfer 50 photos to my new phone?  When I log into icloud I don't see photos, I thought they were backed up to icloud, right?  What can I do to find my photos?
    Thank you,

    Photo stream photos are only saved in iCloud for 30 days, but if you have an iCloud backup it will contain the photo and videos in the camera roll at the time of the backup.  Restoring the backup to your new phone should recover them.
    To restore an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as you are restoring the backup.
    Note: your new phone will need to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your old one in order to restore the backup.  (You can check by going to Settings>General>About>Version.)  If it isn't, you'll need to update it before atttempting to restore the backup.

  • My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) only lets me take 50 photos before it fills up. My Photo Stream album has 1000 photos in it. Is that preventing me taking more photos?

    The iCloud FAQ seems to say iCloud does NOT automatically physically download and store all its photos back on all your devices, yet I'm sure the reason I can't take very many photos is because iCloud is doing just that....sending photos I already deleted from the phone's (non-photo-stream) standard photo library back to the phone and thereby filling up my phone's hard drive. I thought PhotoStream and iCloud held your photos in the "cloud" so you could view them THERE; but it looks like when the "cloud" is "full", the phone is full too (the FAQ says photos don't affect the 5GB free storage on the cloud, yet it sure seems the "cloud" affects the storage on my phone).
    Is there a way to tell iCloud to NOT use my phone as it's hard drive?
    I like the concept of having every photo automatically uploaded to the "cloud"...but shouldn't I be able to take more pictures when the "cloud" is "full" with 1000 photos?
    If I delete the photos from my photo stream album, it says all the photos will be deleted from everywhere, including the "cloud". And, the only way to save them is to manually save them to the phone (they're already there....as described above) or manually save them to iPhoto (my Mac is an older MacMini that can't use any OS above 10.6.8, so iCloud isn't available to my desktop Mac).
    Here are the options as I see them:
    1. Turn off PhotoStream and give up on using the "cloud" or "iCloud" entirely. Make sure to back up those photos I want to keep regularly in iPhoto when I back up my phone. (I had this naive idea iCloud was intended to simplify this....)
    2. Manually go through the 1000 photos that are apparently now back on my phone in the "Photostream album" and decide, viewing them ON the tiny phone screen, which ones should be manually deleted and which to keep, hoping that frees up enough space on the phone to be able to use the camera.
    3. Just delete the entire photostream album, and therefore all the photos on my iPad and in iCloud, and accept that I didn't really want them anyway?
    Is there any other option? Do I have to choose between PhotoStream and storage space on my phone, if I want to use the phone's camera after "1000 photos" reside in iCloud? The way it seems to be going, I will ALWAYS be fighting for storage on my phone as long as iCloud is "on"...no sooner than I delete photos from Photostream, every new photo will just be downloaded BACK to the phone anyway.
    I'm almost at my wit's end.....is iCloud/PhotoStream ALL OR NOTHING?

    Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • I have 1000 photos on my iPhone in Photo Stream... all have already been added to iPhoto.  If I delete the photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone will I lose them on iPhoto??

    I have 1000 photos on my iPhone in Photo Stream... all have already been added to iPhoto.  If I delete the photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone will I lose them on iPhoto??

    Its the first time ive used iphoto, hence the vast number of photos i needed to import. I was importing from my phone to my macbook iphoto, my son caught the usb connection during the time when iphoto was deleting from the phone, after it had apparently imported all of the photos but none of them are on iphoto and only 195 are still on my phone.
    The problem is not deleting them but finding them all?
    Sorry ive typed this in the wrong place now cant delete it - if anyone can help with my problem however i would appreciate it!

  • Photo stream won't update after 1000 photos

    I have reached 1000 photos in my photo stream.  I took more photos on my phone, but it won't update with the latest photos, moving out the oldest.  Help!

    Ok, it did update with the new photos.  Don't know what the hold up was. . . .

  • More than 1000 photos - iPhone naming bug???

    I have more than 1000 pictures on my iPhone. When I tried to import them onto my Mac using iPhoto I realised that for some reason iPhone names the pictures incorrectly.
    Instead of going from 0999 to 1000 Phone goes from 0999 back to 0000. It appends the file name with "_2".
    Is this a bug?
    I keep all my iPhone pictures organised in a separate folder rather than use iPhoto.
    This means that I have to rename all the new photos above 0999. Very annoying.

    It doesn't make sense to provide 4 digits and then jump back to zero after using up three of them.
    I don't see the problem in keeping 1000+ photos on the iPhone - however, I do back them up very regularly.

  • Why I can't find my photo stream? I have 1000 photos in it but when I open it I only have 700?

  • All of a sudden 1000  photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone and I can't delete them and can't find them in my stream either.

    All of a sudden 1000 photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone that came from my own computer and I can't delete them.

    You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

  • About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

    About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
    About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
    I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
    My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
    any help appreciated - thanks

    With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
    It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

    You can't.  If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
    Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data. 

  • Can I download more than 1000 photos

    I noticed that some of my photos on my iPhone are not appearing past 1000 photos in photo-stream and I'm concerned that my Disneyland May 2013 photos are gone? help!

    You may have photos from 2013 still in My Photo Stream but there is no guarantee of that. See here for the Photo Stream FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    If you are using a shared PhotoStream then photos will be retained for indefinitely. See here for the Shared Photo Stream FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903

  • I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
