Free up space on iphone; pictures

Hi everyone,
Most of my space on my iphone is taken up with photos. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that I could transfer all of my photos to cloud-based service that would allow me to access them as quickly as I do now by just going to the photos app?
Thank you,
Steve

You're welcome.
For your Photo Stream access on your PC, you need to download and install the iCloud Control Panel.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
PC: Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and select the checkbox for Photos (Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.x). You can click the Options button to verify that My Photo Stream is enabled and adjust the settings. Be sure to click Apply when done.
The photos transferred from one of your computers behind your back was not done by accident or enabled by itself. If you are now syncing your iPhone with iTunes on a different computer, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is anything selected? If Sync Photos is enabled, to remove all deselect Sync Photos followed by a sync. If Sync Photos is not enabled, enable it and select an empty folder or a folder of photos with a few photos followed by a sync. This will remove all existing photos on your iPhone that were transferred from the other computer and transfer the new folder of photos to your iPhone. After the sync is complete, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab followed by another sync to remove.

  • If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

    If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie  take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

    Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
    More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
    Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

  • HT4847 Free up space on iPhone?

    Hi. I have only 500mb of space left on my iPhone but 18gb on iCloud. How do I free up space on my phone, please?

    iCloud doesn't expand the capacity of your phone, it syncs data from one device to other devices sharing the same iCloud account.  If you want to free up space on your phone you'll have to delete it.  You can see what's taking up the space on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage.

  • HT204053 Saving to cloud to free up space on iPhone

    I am out of space on my phone but purchased 20G icloud storage. Can I create a shared stream to put all of my photos on and then delete my photo album photos to free up space? I don't want to lose my photos, but also don't have a computer I connect to regularly to transfer my photos to.

    Photo Stream is designed to be a way to share photos between devices and with family and friends. It is not designed to be for cloud storage. See: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    You may want to look into iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support It is designed for cloud storage and the following quote from the link describes how it can save space on your phone:
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
    Having said that, note that it is still in beta. I personally don't yet trust it with the only copy of my photos.
    If it must be cloud storage, you may also want to investigate Flickr and Dropbox.

  • HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhone to iCloud to free up space on iPhone?

    My wife has a ton of photos on her phone which is preventing her from updating some apps and other things because her phone is out of storage space.  How can she move it to her iCloud account so she can delete it from her phone?  She still wants to easily access the photos from her iPhone.

    You do not store photos on icloud for archiving.  You do this by syncing photos onto a computer.  icloud will store backups of camera roll photos, but that's only good to you if your device somehow "dies" and you must restore everything back on it.  You can't selectively restore just photos from icloud.

  • Can't seem to free enough space on iphone 4 for ios7

    Seems others have this problem too... removing pics and videos, hardly any apps (just not a major app person)  voluntary apps are just WWF, Candy Crush, Amazon, Ebay, FB and Twitter. Linked in, Translate, Pic Stitch, ESRB ratings and Weather.
    Is there any chance I can get ios7 or am I just out of luck?  I mainly want it for the Face Time capabilities.
    Thanks!

  • What is "other" on iphone sync? How to free up space?

    Upgraded to Lion, iOS5, and cloud. Now I can't sync iPhone. Half the space is "other". How can I free up the space?

    Other is the iPhone operating system. Free up space by moving pictures and music off the phone to the computer.

  • It says I've got 12,3 GB free space left, of my total 25GB. But my iPhone tells me there is no more space to take pictures or download stuff. It clearly says I have 12,3 GB left. What's the issue here??

    The issue is probably space on the phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Space in your iCloud account does not give you more space on your phone.)  Check Settings>General>Usage at the top to see how much available space you have.  If it's low, you'll have to delete or sync something off our phone to make room for more. 

  • HT204022 I have successfully saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone so that i can free up space and take more pictures.  How do I do this?

    I have saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone only to free up space and take more pictures and video.  How do I do this?

    You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon.  (There is no "select all" option.)

  • I cannot seem to free up enough space on iphone 4 to install ios7...I have deleted almost all pictures and video, have no music, and one app....what am I doing wrong? Please help!

    I cannot seem to free up enough space on iphone 4 to download iOs7...have cleared nearly everything from my phone...what else can I do?

    Your post was somewhat hard to understand, but I'll do my best to help as much as I can.
    If you take a picture or save a picture, it'll be in camera roll. If you delete the picture there, it'll remove it from all other locations.
    If you have photos in album stream, you can't even save those pictures to your camera roll. To get rid of those you'll need to connect your device to itunes, select your device, go to photos & deselect the option to sync them to your device.
    Best Regards, Brandon.

  • HT204022 I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    Open the iCloud control panel on your computer and click "Options" next to "Photo Stream". The pictures must not be copied into either of the folders listed, any other folder is fine.
    Before you delete all the photos from your phone I would recommend that you only delete one, at first, to check that it is not deleted from your computer.

  • HT5503 Whats the best way to free up space on the iphone 3gs

    I can't update my iphone with the 6.0 because I don't have enough memory. Whats the best way to free up space? I have already deleted some pictures and music..

    Delete whatever files you don't need anymore and transfer data to an external hard drive. You can download and run OmniDiskSweeper. This application shows you all the files on your harddrive and what files are taking up the most space, just open the application and run it on your hardrive.

  • Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space?

    Can I backup all the photos on my iPhone to the cloud, then delete them from my phone to free up space (but be able to restore them if I need them again?)

    Thanx for the link...here's my problem.  I built my windows pc and installed 2 hard drives...but the larger one isn't accessible right now...not sure why...but the solid state little one is full. This is a problem I need one of my kid's to help me address.  I have a lot of photos 'cause my husbands into photography, we travel a lot, and somehow thousands of photos he took, plus ones I took, plus videos I took, ended up on my iPhone...and they are different in a lot of cases from the photos on the iPad that we share.  I know I have 2 address this someday, bu don't have time right now...and I can't take any new photos or videos...or even add an app for that matter, until I free up some space on my iPhone.  We've already taken two brief trips where I wanted to use my camera and couldn't...and I was looking for a quick way to address my picture taking ability...because we are leaving for another trip in a week, and another one right after that.  This is probably way more info than you need...but there are probably duplicates...but until I go thru them I won't know. I could be wrong, but I thought when I backed up my photos to iCloud that all the photos in the photo app were backed up.  Maybe I'm wrong and it's only those in the Photo Stream...in which case I should do something about that as well, 'cause I've upgraded our storage plan twice now...and it is getting pretty expensive...and I don't even know how to use it other than to do a complete restore when you get a new device which I just did recently because my son wanted our old iPad for a graduation present, and I kind of wanted the better camera on the new iPad, so I got one...and it took a week to retrieve everything from the cloud on our wi-fi! I hope this makes some sense to you, and appreciate any advice you have to share!
