How do I delete my iPhoto library on my iPhone and just have photostream?

I have an iMac (main computer), MacBook Air and an iPhone. When I set up iCloud, somewhere along the way it synced my entire Macbook Air library onto my iPhone and I can't get rid of it. I like having photostream on all my devices as that's just 1000 photos, but my iPhoto library is huge and takes up all my storage on the iPhone.
How can I get my iphone to just have photostream and not my entire iPhoto library?
Thanks

This doesn't work. I unclick everything and it asks if I want to remove them from my iphone, I click yes obviously and then sync. Within a second it says it can't complete this because there isn't enough space on my phone. BS. After I unclick the library the memory bar shows I would have 35GB of space if it would only sync. what is the problem????????

Is there a way to prevent pictures/video from uploading to iCloud photo library from my iPhone and just have pictures/video from my Macbook in Photos upload to iCloud Photo Library?

I would like just my imported photos and video in the Photos App to be synced to my iCloud Photo Library, and not the photos and video from my iPhone. Is there a way to do this?

You can either sync them back to your iPhone is you have them saved on a computer, or you can restore from a backup if you have one. Those would be about your only options. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

How do I organize my iphoto library on my iphone? My iphoto library is 60gb of photos and 80gb of video.

I purchased the 128gb iphone 6+ specifically for the reason of having my entire library of family photos and videos on my iPhone. Given that combined, my iphoto videos and photos equal over 140gb, I will not be able to fit them all on my new iPhone. I would like to have all of my photos on my iphone, which current works. But how can I organize my iphoto videos on my iphone?
I have taken the time to organize my entire iphoto library by putting all of the content into events. In the iTunes tab "Photos", I select to sync all photos and events from iPhoto but I leave "Include videos" unchecked. If I check "Include videos", then I won't have enough room on my iPhone for the 140gb of iPhoto content. I created an event in iPhoto call, "Choosen video" to grab only those videos that I want.
If I choose in the iTunes tab "Photos" and select the option sync photos from "Select albums, event, and faces...", I will still want to include all of my events for all of the photos of my family and also select the event "Choosen video" that I created. But that "Choosen video" event will not have any content because I did not choose the "Include video" option in the Itunes "Photo" tab. It seems that Videos are either all or nothing.
Is there a way that I can have all of my photos in events syncd to my iPhone yet only sync certain videos so that I do not run out of room on my iPhone?

You could import selected videos to iTunes, and then sync the videos from the iTunes library.
Or move the videos, that you do not want to sync to your iPhone, to a different iPhoto Library.

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

How do I clean-up iPhoto library in iMovie '08 and make my new ones appear?

I'm a graphic designer and I use Adobe Bridge to add metadata (keywords) to my pictures so they're searchable on the Internet - not just iPhoto (and iLife?) and after transferring all the image files from iPhoto onto my Time Capsule (external hard-drive) and deleting the Photo Albums from iPhoto, I created a new Album to import still frames/images to use in my new iMovie project. I cleaned out (emptied) my iPhoto trash to help free-up space on my hard-drive, too.
The problem I'm having is that my iPhoto library as viewed from iMovie - still shows all the old photo albums that I've already deleted and the new .PNG I imported doesn't appear; however, the old .JPG files I once had still appear with exclamation marks as the thumbnail images and I can't select or delete them. When I right-click on the iPhoto photo albums library within iMovie, I only get the option to open in iPhoto. I imagine there is some back door manipulation required to fix this. The iMovie and iPhoto software came pre-installed in my computer and I'm not so sure that re-formatting my computer with the start-up disc is the safe or correct answer.
I've been researching the iMovie forum to see if there is a file I should be able to access to fix a Cache file somewhere; however, I couldn't find any .xml files, cache files, or anything anywhere yet. Thanks in advance to anyone willing and able to share some knowledge. I look forward to resolving this troubling experience. My final goal is to use the .PNG file (which contains transparent data, unlike .JPG files which fill transparent data with white pixels) as a frame image if not as a floating graphic (i.e. picture-in-picture).

Sean in the iMovie technical support area (thanks to my lovely Apple Care plan purchase) answered my question about how to delete the iPhoto library, which I no longer use (because I use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS3 to browse my photos and update their Metadata to make the images searchable not only on my computer, but others who don't have iPhoto, or iLife as well; even PC users and Internet search engines - when the images are uploaded as-is - without compression and changes that occur when uploaded to image hosts such as Photobucket.com, etc.):
Go to: *Finder >* (click on) *Pictures >* (and on the right, see iPhoto Library, Aperture, etc.? Select those files and...) *Move to Trash*
Now when you look at the Photos Browser in iMovie (⌘2) the folder, files, blank thumbnails and junk are (thankfully) gone!
As for using images located elsewhere for use in iMovie - I just have to locate them via the Finder, then select the file, then drag-and-drop the image for immediate placement into the part of My Project where I want to use the image and repeat this method for each incidence I want the graphic to appear.
Unfortunately, I must upgrade to iMovie '09 if I want to be able to take advantage of the Picture-in-Picture feature, which would enable me to place a logo or image graphic in a video project while other parts of the production are playing, but I can still use the title feature to embed text information such as a business name and phone number or (website) URL pertaining to the project as a surrogate stamp, watermark, or creative signature, but no other graphic image files may be used here.

How do i delete my photo library from my iphone 4?

My computer downloaded my entire photo library to my iPhone 4s & I'm almost out of storage space. As far as I can tell, there is no way to delete the photo library from the phone itself; I have tried.
I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option. I clicked on all of the other choices on the tab in the upper left-hand corner: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Apps, & Tones. None of these options have anything related to photos or photo libraries.
I have cleared my "My Pictures" folder on my PC and re-synched the phone; that didn't work either. I've gone through everything under the "Settings" tab on the phone itself, but to no avail.
I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings, but I'm thinking there's GOT to be an easier way to solve this problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Yes there is and if you are unable to via the iTunes sync process, there is a problem.

Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not stored in your iTunes library. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit only between the location on your computer's hard drive where the selected photos are stored and your iPhone.
This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If all photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone are not removed from the iPhone after deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, try creating a new folder on your computer's hard drive that will remain empty. Select this empty folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes instead of your My Pictures folder followed by a sync.
I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings,
You don't need to take the iPhone anywhere to do this ends up being needed. You can erase all data and settings direct on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset which will erase everything but the iOS version installed and the included apps, or you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

I can not delete an iPhoto library album on iPhone 5

on my iPhone 5, in photos, I have under 3 albums, the Camera RollI with 2613 pix, an Photo Library folder with 522 pix and a Iphoto Library folder with 518 Pix. The contents of the Photo Library folder and Iphoto Library folders are almost identical except for 4 pictures. I would like to delete the entire two library folders on the phone to safes pace but do not know how to. There is no delete/waste basket button when I open any of the pictures in htese folders. Pictures from the camera roll folder have a delete/waste basketet button to delete any of picture, but not such button in the library folders. How do I get rid of pictures in these twolibrary folders?

the problem is that these two library folders do not show up in iphoto on the desk top when i sync the phone via cable connection. they are on my phone only. The pictures exist in iphoto on the desk top but the folders Iphoto library and Photo Library do not exisit in iPhoto on the desk top nor are they visible in Iphoto on the desk top when I sync the iphone via cable.

HT204022 how to I delete the photo library on my iphone?

how do i delete the photos on my phone in the phone library? it has dupilicated itself now I have over 1000 pic and no storage

Welcome to the Apple community.
Before you start deleting photos from your phone, you need to discover why they had been duplicated. Have they been duplicated because you now have a camera roll and a photo stream album with the same photos in both.

How to watch my Mac iPhoto Library on my iPhone?

Hi,
is there a way to watch my Mac iPhoto Library on my iOS devices using Home WiFi?
I am regurarly sharing my music, clips, films etc, but cannot find a way to share my Photos, although photo sharing is activated on my iPhoto mac... I can see it from my AppleTV, but nothing seen on my iPhone...
Any help pse?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
IOS 7 is coming - maybe a change there - who knows
At this time the only thing iPhoto for IOS and iPhoto for the Mac share is the name - nothing else

How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it. The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs. I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone. And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library.
I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete." The list of tracks disappears from the device list. I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone. What am I missing, please? I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes.
Help, please?

Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

How can I turn off the 101ncmdt on my camera and just have a camera

my phone camera use to work very well and some how it got some other thing when I go to camera and it is called 101NCMDT. Now all my photos go to this mode instead of just camera. Because of this I can not send pictures to a lot of people. I hate it and just want my old simple camera on my phone back. It has also made the camera take pictures slower and it is very frustrating. who am I writing to anyway?

Let's get your camera working again, 1knarlysurfrat. That's definitely a strange mode. What phone do you have? Did you download any new applications before this started?

How do I delete a photo library from my iPhone

I have 2 phot libraries that are exactly the same. I want to delete one of them. I resynced but there still 2. Photo Library and iPod Photo Cache. I am only syncing iPod Photo Cache. I resynced my iPad and the extra (duplicate) went away. Not true with my iPhone. Any ideas?

LOL.. I think the question just morphed again.
Natalie
You can't sync your albums from an iPhone to iTunes/computer - the sync is always the other way.
If you need to move album photos from an iPhone to a computer then you need to look at some apps to do that.
An example might be Phototransfer - there will be others through a Google search
