How to delete photos on device and keep them on iCloud?

I have 1T iCloud storage so I can keep my 500G photos library on the cloud. But how am I supposed to keep all those photos accessible to my devices if my iPad or iPhone only go up to 128G? If I delete a photo on these devices, it gets deleted on the cloud. So what's the point of having big storage access to all your photos? I'm limited by my devices storage! Am I getting something wrong?
Thanks.

How do delete photos from iPhone but keep them on the cloud?

Is it possible to delete photos from an iPhone but keep them on the cloud? If not what is the purpose of buying extra storage for icloud If you phone can only hold up to 128gb?

How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library can move the original high-resolution photos and videos to iCloud and
replace them with lightweight, device-optimized versions on your iOS device. This helps you
make the most of your device storage while giving you access to more photos than ever.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings >
Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You will need
an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Yes I want to know the answer too.
If I subscribe to iCloud storage but my iPhone can just hold up to 16 gb.
Why do I have to do it ? to make my iPad see photos from my iPhone?
I did try to disable icloud photo while i had 1gb photos stored in my iPhone
and wipe them out, yes ,nothing left, 0 data. but when I turn on iCloud Photo -
again. everything come back as preview photos but when I look at each, my phone
will download them all anyway. so, how can you manage space on devices actually?
if I have 16 gb on my phone , So I can see all of my 1tb photos on iCloud ?
and have enough space on the phone to do other things right?

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

How can I enlarge my tabs and keep them the way I set them? My page zooms in and out but my file, bookmarks, etc. tabs stay the same size.

using the view tab, I select Zoom. Zoom in only increases appearance of web page. The tabs (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help) all remain the same size! Way too small to read! This sucks and I don't LIKE IT!

That sounds very handy. Nice going. A kind of backup would be to
create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager, and keep a list of links there.
Just one note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
are open. Because the window with the 90 tabs was closed first, then the
other, that is what caused your issue.

Deleting pictures on phone but keeping them on iCloud

Is this possible?

Indeed.
If you switch you picture sync back on and connect to a wifi it will sync your photos back.
What i would recommend is to do a weekly backup on the pc and delete photos off the phone that is not needed. Just make sure you leave the sync off on the phone.
Just do a manual sync from phone to pc. If you plug it in, on the left side you will get all your options for pictures, videos, pictures and more.
Otherwise follow the link below and see if it helps clear some space.

How to keep pictures on Cloud and delete on phone

Hi igerd,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to store or back up the pictures on your iPhone using iCloud. There are a few different options that are available when using iCloud services.
You can use iCloud to back up your iPhone data, including pictures, as explained in this article:
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Note that your photos wont be backed up if iCloud Photo Library beta is turned on:
If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
If you are using iCloud Photo Library beta, your pictures will be synced between your iPhone and the cloud. Removing them from your iPhone will also remove them from the cloud, as mentioned here:
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

How to delete photos from iPhoto and hard drive at the same time.

I need to remove some files from my iMac G5 in order to free up some space. I have some photos on my machine that I would like to delete. Is there a setting I can change so that I completely remove a photo from my machine when I delete the iPhoto thumbnail? If not, what is the best way to remove photos from my machine, and not leave thumbnails in iPhoto to photos that no longer exist on my machine etc. I'm using iLife 08 and the most recent version of Leopard on a third generation iMac G5.

To remove file from iPhoto and the HD simply put the files in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty trash.
This works if you're using iPhoto in the default setting, where the files are copied to the Library on import. If, however, you have a referenced library, you'll need to trash the files in your own folder structure yourself.

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

How can I sync photos from my PC to my I Pad 2 and keep them in the folders (albums) they are in?

On my PC, all my photos are in folders named for topic or year and they used to sync that way onto my I phone and I pad. Now when I sync to my I pad, they are all jumbled up into the wrong folders (albums) - really mixed up in no particular order. Can anyone help with how I can sync and keep them in the folders they're in on the PC?
Thanks

Thanks - that helped. But when I tried to sync all my photo folders to the I pad 2, I tunes would add some but not all of the ones that were marked to sync, end the sync, then the I pad 2 would hang with the wheel turning, saying it was still syncing photos, and it would not end and the remaining folders of photos never appeared. I finally had to sync and re-sync over and over by adding one folder of photos at a time, then another and another.
