How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my device?

How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my actual phone?  I'm concerned that the sync feature will remove the pictures from the cloud when they are deleted from my phone.
Thanks for the help.

Can I back up iPhoto to the cloud via some apple service (iCloud)
No
or do I need to use something else?  If so, any recommendations?
An external hard disk:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • I have pictures on my phone that I can not delete.  There is no trashcan.  These pictures are in albums and not the camera roll itself.  How can I delete them?

    My wife and I decided that we needed separate accounts for our two 4s phones.  To do this, the data from her phone needed to be transferred out, then transferred back in under the different account.  The pictures were transferred back in using Itunes.  These appear as separate albums in the "photos" app.  I would like to delete some (or all) the pictures in these extra albums, but there is no trashcan to put them in.  I can only delete pictures in the "camera roll" itself.  These pictures are taking up valuable memory and I would like to free up some space.  How can I delete them?

    You're welcome. 
    As it relates to pictures, iTunes will only do two things: it will transfer photos from your computer to your device (if you select to Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings); and it will include the camera roll photos on your device in your device backup (if you back up to your computer rather than to iCloud).  It does not transfer photos from your phone, only to your phone.  (Transferring photo from your phone to your computer is done by importing them as expained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
    The only area where you might lose pictures by syncing would be if you synced your phone while selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and the photos you had previously synced to your phone from your computer were no longer on your computer.  iTunes is syncing photos one-way; ensuring that the photos transferred from your computer match the photos still on your computer.  If you delete the photos from your computer, then sync, the deleted photos are then removed from your phone.
    This does not effect photos in the camera roll or in your photo stream, it only effects photos in the Photo Library album and albums containing photos in the Photo Library album.
    The deleted photos would have been placed in the recycle bin when you originally deleted them from the computer.  Nothing is put in the recycle bin when syncing with iTunes.

  • How do I move music off my phone and keep it in my library?

    Ive taken up too much memory with music on my iphone. How do I delete it on the phone and keep it on my MacBook and Ipad?

    if they are things you bought in the iTunes store, then you can trasnfer them to your iTunes library

    If not then you would have to use some sort of non apple software to move or transfer non puchases from your device to the library.

  • I have a xD-PictureCard that I want to load pictures onto, from my iPhotos.  The reader is a FinePix can I get it to work on the Mac.  when I try it wont install the software.  Is there any way i can load pics onto the SD card.

    I have a xD-PictureCard (SD Card) that works in a picture frame.  I have used it in the past on a Windows computer, now having an apple I want to change the pics and cannot.  When I reload the discs for Mac they won't install.  Is there anything I can do to put the pics on the SD card, I don't want to throw away the picture frame it cost a lot of money.

    This should be perfectly possible and without loading any software at all.
    Get a Card Reader for the XD card, and plug it into the Mac. It will then appear on the desktop. Drg the files to the Card. Make sure you keep the folder structure used on the Card - don't change that.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )

    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.

    how do I move photos from my phone to free up memory?

    Managing photos can become time consuming if you don't keep up on them and they can hog a lot of space on the memory, especially if you have video.  Transferring pictures to either your computer or the cloud is one way to manage the pics and get them off the phone.  I need to do this myself.

  • There is a new app with an ugly orange T named Tips on my phone now. How do I get it off my phone. It is an Apple App not a purchased app and looks like a Tennessee advertisement.

    It is part of iOS 8, and cannot be removed.  You can move the app to another page, or hide it in a folder.  You can turn off the notifications for the App in the notifications center control pane.

  • How do I move music off my iPod onto my Mac mini?

    Can anyone tell me how to save/transfer all of the music from my 30GB iPod onto my desk top computer (Mac mini)? I would like a safe method, least likely to lose any of the music.

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iRepo Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    One last thing, if you have been using your iPod with another computer and it is set to update automatically then you need to take care connecting to a new iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever retrieval method you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

HELP! I got married last week on holidays and have not had a chance to save photos yet.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.
