  • How to delete photo library off iphone 5s

    I only have 221 photos saved on my 32 GB iPhone 5s, but in Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage it shows that 8.9 GB are being used by 'Photos & Camera'!
    Of that, 'Photo Library' is taking up 8.8 GB of space and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.  I went into iTunes and removed the check mark on 'Sync photos',, then re-synced my phone, but that didn't do it.  How do I remove the 'Photo Library' from my phone?  That's an awful lot of memory usage for what appears to be nothing.
    Thanks for any advice you can provide!

    Hello moskigirl,
    It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
    If the space used by Photos & Camera hasn't decreased, the next step would be to restore the device.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes

  • How to import photo library from iPhone?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
    I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Beto.

    iPhone is not designed for this. No support for importing from the Photo Library, only designed to import pix you took on the camera.
    You can look at PhoneView, which will pull photos from the Photo Library. HOWEVER, these will be down-sized low-res photos, not high-quality originals. You'd be MUCH better off using a USB drive to copy the photos from the PC and transfer them to the Mac.

  • How does iCloud Photo Library and Optimize iPhone Storage Work?

    Even Apple Phone support can't answer these questions:
    How does iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from yesterday's 8.1 update with Optimize iPhone Storage turned on work? (I'm on an iPhone 6)
    It only stores your iPhone/iPad versions on your device, which is amazing. Why would you need anything else? It freed up around 8-10GB of space on my device which is amazing. But how does it work when you use it?
    When you email it seems to ask you, when sending what size you want to send like it's always done. It gives you the original 2.4MB version. This works like I'd imagine and when I received the test email the photo was correct. In this case I assume it hits iCloud and sends it from there, not your actual device. (Like it doesn't re-download it to email it). Correct?
    When posting to Facebook, does it do this same thing? Or is this something Facebook has to build into their iOS app in an update? Or does it just work? Correct?
    When posting to Instagram, does it grab the right version. Obviously the phone optimized version should be fine, but when viewing on a Desktop version of Instagram at instagram.com, will it show the right version?
    Sometimes I backup photos using Image Capture on the Mac. If I did that right now, would it only grab the iPhone versions? Obviously I can just test it but it'd be amazing if someone who knows these things could explain all of these use cases.
    Do you need to be on
    In closing it's more of how does this work? Does it work? Why wouldn't you want to use this feature if it saved space and made more sense? I guess I just would love some real clarity since not even the blogs are explaining how it works in every application.
    In closing part 2. It does seem to work really well, it's just those fringe cases. I just viewed all my photos on https://beta.icloud.com/#photos and they're all there, easy download of the high res, delete, it deletes from my camera roll on my phone, it's amazing, it works, it's magic. Just tell me what issues there are with storing only low res iPhone on my device and if there are none, game on!
    Thanks!

    And of those 4.3GB of backup, my Photo Library is 1.4GB.
    So my question is, how do I prevent my Photo Library from being backed up to the cloud, since I already have a backup of it everytime I connect to iPhoto and it copies all those photos to my mac?
    I don't know, sorry. It's supposed to work alongside Photos & iCloud, so that photos are stored only once. When it doesn't work you have a couple of options as I see it –
    Delete the old backups on iCloud to hopefully start over (I don't like deleting the only backup of anything).
    Forget about iCloud backups & use iTunes to backup instead, it might not be suitable if you have no computer etc.
    Buy more storage for iCloud.
    I don't use iCloud backup, it bemuses me with issues like this, there is no easy way to resolve when it fails.
    And one more question while we are at it...can I erase iphoto from my computer now that I have the new Photos app?
    That is up to you. If you are happy you do not need it & have a backup of it go ahead & remove it. You can re-download it from the app store if it is already in your Mac App store account.

    how to erase photos from iphone loaded from computer and how to sync music from laptop to iphone

    If the photos were put onto the phone by using iTunes to sync photos from the computer, the only supported way to remove the photos is to sync again with iTunes but this time remove the check mark beside the "Sync Photos from" question on the Photos tab of iTunes or change the folders of the photos to be synced.

  • How does iCloud Photo Library backup photos & save iCloud space

    I was reading about how to free up some space on my iCloud account (5GB).
    Since the Camera Roll is the only thing that is backed up to iCloud, I would periodically import all my photos to iPhoto and delete them from my device.  This would make the Camera Roll pictures move over to my other albums which are NOT backed up to iCloud.  Now I ran into some apple documentation which explains what exactly gets backed up on an iOS device and its reads like this:
    Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. 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.
    So basically if I turn on this iCloud Photo Library on my iOS device, it won't back up any photos to iCloud, because they are already stored in iCloud?  What does that mean?  Is this going to free up some iCloud space if I turn it on on my device?  If so, how exactly does it work that will save me space?
    Thanks

    how to retrieve photos on my iPhone? i reset it without doing back up, tnx

    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - ASAP as with any other digital camera, and especially before restoring the iPhone with iTunes or before erasing all content and settings direct on the iPhone.
    With no import and no iPhone backup, the photos are gone.

  • How to recover photos from stolen iphone?

    How to recover photos from stolen iphone?

    You might be able to recover any photos that were in an iCloud Photo Stream if you had an iCloud account and used Photo Stream.  But without a backup of your library or MB hard drive you won't be able to recover any of the iPhoto Library photos as Jim has already pointed out.

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
