How can I delete photos on my iphone after they aredownloaded to my ipad

I have too many photos on my iphone camera roll. I want to delete from my iphone but keep them on my ipad.
When i try to delete, the message says they will be deleted from all my devices...help.

You can import photos from the iPhone to the computer and then sync them to the other devices, such as the iPad. It isn't safe to keep a large number of pictures in the Camera Roll. They are designed to be imported to the computer just like pictures on a digital camera. If something happens to the phone, this is the first thing individuals gripe about losing. If the pictures are on the computer, at least you can sync them back to another device if necessary.

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How can I delete photos from my iPhone but keep them in iCloud?  I.e. I want more than just a backup of what's on my phone, I want selective storage of my photos.  Can iCloud do that?

    Hi,
    Can I use iCloud as photo storage rather than just backup?  Right now, it just syncs the photos from my iPhone.  I want to delete some photos from my phone, but keep them in the cloud. 
    I also want to be able to adjust the settings of certain folders in iPhoto to do different things. 
    I.e. I have a "work" folder in my photos app on my iphone.  I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in dropbox and be erased from my iPhone. 
    I have a "family" folder in my photos app on my iPhone.  I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in iCloud and erased from my iPhone.
    Finally, why can't I log into iCloud from anywhere and see my photos?  For example, when I go to my friend's house, I want to be able to log into iCloud from his computer and show him photos that are no longer saved on my phone, but rather stored in the cloud. 
    Would I be better off with dropbox, flickr, or Amazon for something like that?
    Thanks!
    Amy

    If you have the photos on your computer a great way to test is to remove your phone from your computer and see if the photos are still on it; if they are still on your computer you are free to do so
    Also when you are importing photos from the device to iPhoto you should get the option to delete after importing

  • How can i download photos to my IPhone after Disable and Delete ICloud Photo Library?

    I`ve started to use Icloud Photo Library, but i`ve decided to not use anymore because just a few photos were uploaded to the cloud.
    So, I`ve turned off my ICloud Photo Library entirely at Manage Storage section of ICloud Settings. After that i`ve been trying to re-download my photos to my IPhone, by "Transfer and Keep Originals" set up, but it isn`t working!

    You cannot.  this is how the iphone handles photos.
    ALL PHOTOS synced to iphone can be accessed via the "Photo Library".  Those same photos can also be accessed from the folders that you synced.  Just as you can find a book in your public library and you find the same book in the fiction section.
    Stop trying to resolve it as there is nothign to resolve.  All is working as it should.

  • How can I delete Photo albums in iPhone 4s.  I am using OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro

    I would like to delete several albums from my iPHone 4s.   I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8.   I only can delete single photos from camera roll.

    You can't delete albums in your device because it syncs your iPhoto configuration. To delete an album, you must delete it in iPhoto, but there's a solution. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the sidebar, go to Photos tab and select the albums you want to sync

  • How can I take photos on my iPhone and get these on my iPad

    Using iCloud how do I get photos that I've taken on my iPhone to show on my iPad photo stream?

    Sign into the same iCloud account on both devices in Settings>iCloud and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream.  After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be streamed to both devices when the camera app is closed, you device is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
    Photo stream only adds photos take after enabling photo stream.  To use stream photos taken before enabling photo stream to your other devices, create a shared photo stream containing the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • HT201302 If i delete photos on my iphone after they have been downloaded to my mac will they be sync and delete on my computer??? Silly question??? HELP ; )

    I have connected my iphone to my mac and my photos have been transfered.... The option to delete my photos on my phone has come up....If i go ahead and delete the photos on my phone will my photos on my ipad be deleted?  I guess my question is will i loose those photos in any way when i delete them from my iphone?  Thanks.

    It depends on what you mean by "backed to your Mac." If you have just done a backup of the phone to the Mac via iTunes, then you should NOT delete them from your phone since the only way you would be able to access the photos would be by doing a complete restore of the backup to the phone and that would wipe out anything more current on the phone.
    If you copied the photos to your Mac via a USB cord as described in Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can safely delete the photos from the phone. Note that you should be sure to have a good backup plan in place for your Mac so that if something were to happen to it you wouldn't lose the photos.
    If the photos were sent to iPhoto via Photo Stream you can delete them from the phone if you are certain that the photos have been copied from the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto into the Library - Events section of iPhoto. That can be done manually or you can open iPhoto and go to the menu named iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > and insure that there is a checkmark in front of Automatic Import.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPhone 4S without deleting from Mac iPhoto at the same time?

    My iPhone has more than 12gB of photos & video - some 1200 of them. I have transferred them all to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Now I want to delete about 75% of the photos on my phone while I keep the rest safely on my Mac. When I go to delete the photos a warning comes up to say that I am about to delete my photos from all locations but I cannot afford to lose my memories.

    You can't because the actual photos are in the camera roll.  The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos.

  • HT1296 How can I delete photos from my iphone 4?

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone after putting them on iPhoto?

    When all of my photos are on iPhoto, can I just delete them off of my phone and will they still be on iphoto?

    First make sure your iPhone is signed into your iCloud account and is setup to use Photo Stream:
    First make sure you're signed in to iCloud on the Mac in System/iCloud preferences and have Photo Stream enabled:
    Next launch iPhoto, go to the Photo Stream preference pane and make sure it's set up as shown here:
    You will have to wait a bit until Photo Stream has time to synce between your iPhone and your Mac.
    Check the Events for imports from Photo Stream.  They'll be titled something like this:
    You can set the sort order in the Event mode to this to get the latest imports at the top of the Event window:

  • "Over capacity": How can I delete photos from iPhone / set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone regularily goes over capacity because it stores, or tries to store, too many photos/videos from iCloud on the device.
    How can I delete photos from the iPhone (but not generally from iCloud/Photostream). How can set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone? (I am searching for a setting like "keep the last 2GB of photos/videos from iCloud/Photostream, but not more than that. I know how to turn iCloud off in total, but that is not what I would prefer to do, I just would like to set reasonable maximum.)
    Thank you for your ideas!
    Generally, I someone could point me to a good tutorial on how local photos vs. iCloud photos vs. Photostream are supposed to work that would be great as well, because I have many other problem with Apple's system in that regard as well (esp., despite that obviously a lot of space is taken up by photos/videos on my device, my iPhone still downloads recent photos/videos over 3G... I also have the problem that all photos appear double if I try to copy to my Mac with ImageCapture or iPhoto, but there is only a single copy (no HDR, burst or the like) when seen with the Photos.app of the iPhone itself... I came to believe that Apple's photo system is somewhere between counterintuitive and plainly not working... (/rant off) )

    Sorry there are no settings to set max capacity.
