How to remove photos from photostream?

I'm not loving iCloud.  I LOVED mobileme and my gallery in there, among other features.  How do you remove photos from photostream?  So frustrating.  iCloud was supposed to be easier, effortless and this is not the case. Some pictures show in photostream on my iphone and others show in iphoto.  I don't get it.  Anyone know the answer to this mystery of how to make them sync?

You can't delete individual photos, you can reset photostream from iCoud.com and turn off syncing for photostream on each device, but that will remove all photos from photostream.
Photostream syncing requires wifi, make sure you have a wifi connection for photo stream to update correctly.

  • How to remove photos from the photo library

    How can I remove photos from the photo library?
    I searched and tried the below method.
    I connected to the PC and open iTunes. I clicked "photos" on the top. Then clicked the box "Sync Photos with" and choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
    Then I clicked "desktop" option and chose an empty file and click "apply", "sync".
    However, it doesn't work. Nothing has been removed.
    I saw there is another method - deselecting the checkbox of the photo files. However, in my iTunes, there is no files has been selected.
    How can I delete photos from the photo library? Thank you.

    How did the photos get onto your device (and is it an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch ?) ? Only photos that were synced from a computer can be deleted via iTunes, photos that were taken with it or saved from emails/websites on the iPad (or if it's an iPad copied to it via the camera connection kit) can be deleted directly in the Photos app, or you might be able to delete the via the import process : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

  • How to copy photos from photostream to camera roll

    How do I copy photos from Photostream to Camera Roll?

    I have found the only way to put a picture back to the Camera Roll if you have already deleted it but its still in the Photo Stream is to edit the picture, even it doesn't need it. Then save it and it will save the edited picture to the camera roll. The original picture will stay unedited in the Photo Stream.  This is just my opinion and the only way I've found to make it work. If there is a better way, I am open to suggestions because this method is cumbersome.

  • How to remove pictures from photostream?

    Is there a way to remove pictures from photostream?

    No.
    You can only reset it in www.icloud.com ( click on your login name to see the option) , or turn it off in all devices to clear the cache - but once you turn photostream on again, the very same pictures will populate it for the next 30 days.
    There is no management or selection available of what goes in, and what not. If you have stuff you don't want to appear on all machines, you are best suited in not using this feature at all. ( That's what I do = turn off forever, because it is useless and the lack of selection is stupid ).

  • How to remove photos from photo library?

    I am new to the iPhone & use a Mac. In iTunes I have unticked the box sync photos from on my device, however I still have the photos showing on my iPhone. How can I remove them?

    Not sure that I have the answers, but messing around with my iPhone 4 (had it 2 days) and using iPhoto on my iMac, here's what I've found...
    the Photo Library is just a duplicate or reference file to any other photo synched to the iPhone. If you have 'faces' in iTunes checked when you synch, it will put those files in the Photo Library also... basically you can click Sync Photos from 'iPhoto >> check Selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include 'no events' >> choose the Albums you want synched. THEN, be sure to uncheck Faces .... this method will still combine all your synched photos in the Photo Library folder on the iPhone, but there will be a lot less....
    at least that was my issue...

  • How to remove photos from the new photos app (os x Yosemite) from one mac without (accidentally) deleting them on my other mac?

    I've upgraded from iPhoto to Photos app on my MBP. All the pictures from my main mac got uploaded to the iCloud. I also upgraded to Photos on my older mac (it has limited HD  space) and all the pictures started being downloaded to it. I went to preferences (on the older mac) and turned off the downloading, photo stream, etc. but the pictures are still there. I'm afraid to hit delete because I don't want them to magically disappear from my main mac.
    All I want, is to remove them from my old mac to free up the space.

    If you turned off or uncheck iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream in the Photos app preference window, then the delete should not sync up to the cloud. Also, until you empty the 'Recently Deleted' container, the images are still on your Mac:
    https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht3bfab2f96
    Deleted photos and video aren’t immediately removed from your library; they’re placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for the number of days shown, and then are deleted. You can recover the items before that period of time (see the next task). If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos may remain in iCloud up to 40 days and then are removed from all your devices that use iCloud Photo Library. If you’re not using iCloud Photo Library, your deleted photos are removed from your Mac only.

  • How to remove photos from my iPod Video

    Hello,
    I'm new here and new in general to the whole iPod shebang. I uploaded a set of photos to my iPod to see how it would work. Now I want to remove them. I've gone through this forum and the iPod manual online and can't find an answer anywhere. All it tells me everywhere is how to get them on there... not off of there
    Cheers E.

    I can tell you how. Pluf in your iPod and open iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the source list. On the top, there is a "Photo" tab. Click on that and there is a box where you uncheck the selection and your iPod will delete the photos. I don't recall the excate phrase under the "Photo" tab. But you can see it, there is no way that you can't. If you have any questions, please reply to this message. Good luck.

  • How to remove photos from camera roll but remain in album?

    I want to delete photos that I have in camera roll but those same pics to remain in the album I create before. Any suggestions?

    You can't. When you 'copy' them into new albums you are effectively just creating pointers to the original photos, so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could copy the photos to your computer, organise them on there, and then sync them back.

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

  • How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    When I click on PhotoStream in iPhoto, I have two "categories":  My Photos, and Family and Friends Photos.  Under My Photos I have the following albums:  "My Photo Stream", "Miscellaneous", "Grandchildren", and "Family Photos".  All photos that I move from anywhere else automatically go into 'My Photo Stream".  I would like to move (or copy) some of the photos from "My Photo Stream" into one of the other three albums.
    Hope I have done a better job of explaining my situation.  Thanks again for your help.  Dick

  • How do you  select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder

    how do i select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder in iphoto

    Hello Tiggertiffany,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to select multiple items on iCloud.com then you can use the common procedure to select multiple items by either holding Command or Shift on your keyboard.
    To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Command (⌘) key, then click the items.
    To select multiple files or folders that are listed together, click the first item you want to select, hold down the Shift key, then click the last item.
    OS X Yosemite: select files or folders
    Have a great weekend,
    Alex H.
