HT201302 If i delete photos on my iphone after they have been downloaded to my mac will they be sync and delete on my computer??? Silly question??? HELP ; )

I have connected my iphone to my mac and my photos have been transfered.... The option to delete my photos on my phone has come up....If i go ahead and delete the photos on my phone will my photos on my ipad be deleted?  I guess my question is will i loose those photos in any way when i delete them from my iphone?  Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "backed to your Mac." If you have just done a backup of the phone to the Mac via iTunes, then you should NOT delete them from your phone since the only way you would be able to access the photos would be by doing a complete restore of the backup to the phone and that would wipe out anything more current on the phone.
If you copied the photos to your Mac via a USB cord as described in Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can safely delete the photos from the phone. Note that you should be sure to have a good backup plan in place for your Mac so that if something were to happen to it you wouldn't lose the photos.
If the photos were sent to iPhoto via Photo Stream you can delete them from the phone if you are certain that the photos have been copied from the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto into the Library - Events section of iPhoto. That can be done manually or you can open iPhoto and go to the menu named iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > and insure that there is a checkmark in front of Automatic Import.

  • I have an Iphone 3 I have been downloading music

    Can anyone help me, I have an iphone 3, i have been downloading music & ringtones from itunes onto it, they stay in my phone for a day then go, I go into my ipod and the contents is empty

    The iOS settings for the iPhone 3 never had an option to determine how long you wanted to save messages. That settings is new to iOS8. As far as some being deleted, there is nothing about the phone that should delete messages without some user intervention. Try a reset on the phone, this will not affect your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

  • HT201628 How come when you had updated & installed ios6 to your ipad the apps store & itunes is not available in the Philippines.......please consider Filipino ipad & iphone users who have been downloading latest apps from store everyday...need your PROMP

    Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of  posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
    There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
    My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
    And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
    There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
    I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
    To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

  • Is there a way to recover my photos on my iphone that has not been backed up.  It was dropped in water and will not turn on.  I have had it in rice for 24 hours.  Thank you

    Is there a way to recover my photos on my iphone that has not been backed up.  It has been in rice for 24 hrs. 
    Thank you !

    No since thay have not been backed up. Hopefully the phone will work long enough after the 'rice treatment" for you to recover the phone and do a backup. The rice sometimes does not work. Good luck.

  • How can I delete photos on my iphone after they aredownloaded to my ipad

    I have too many photos on my iphone camera roll. I want to delete from my iphone but keep them on my ipad.
    When i try to delete, the message says they will be deleted from all my devices...help.

    You can import photos from the iPhone to the computer and then sync them to the other devices, such as the iPad. It isn't safe to keep a large number of pictures in the Camera Roll. They are designed to be imported to the computer just like pictures on a digital camera. If something happens to the phone, this is the first thing individuals gripe about losing. If the pictures are on the computer, at least you can sync them back to another device if necessary.

  • Am I able to retrieve photos from an iPhone after it has been restored?

    Is it possible to retrieve photos from an iPhone 5s after it has been restored? I had taken photos on my new iPhone 5s prior to restoring the previous settings and I never saved these photos. When I restored my phone from the old backup, my new photos were gone. I don't think they were saved to iCloud either.

    Without a backup with the photos on it, you will not be able to recover them.

  • Opening b&w photos on a windows pc that have been edited on a mac

    Hello
    I have changed colour photos on my mac to b&w using photoshop elements. I have saved them as JPEG.
    When my cients try to open the photos on a windows pc the b&w ones will not open, but the colour ones will. Can anyone help me with this problem???
    Thankyou!

    The Mac either corrupted the JPG metadata or saved the photos with an invalid end-of-file marker.
    See if your clients can open the photos with the free XnView viewer:

    and save it from there.

  • Lately, my iPhone 4 has not been downloading songs from iTunes, but when I sync to my computer it shows up. Unfortunately, when I try to redownload it to my phone, it does not work. Help!!

    Please help!

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
    the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
    It does not use SD cards.
    Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
    Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
    But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

  • How do I delete photos from my iPhone that have been downloaded from my pc?

    I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)

    "I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc"
    The same way you put them there.  The sync process.  open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone , sync
    "or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)"
    You can delete them when you import the photos to your computer - using whatever softare that you import them with or you can go to the pics and hit the trash can on the bottom of the screen.

  • Is it possible to delete the original photos from my iphone if i have uploaded them into the icloud?

    Is it possible to delete the original photos from my iphone if i have uploaded them into the icloud?
    Or are they then completely lost?

    Yes.  iTunes will report that your photos are now being accessed from iCloud Photo Library and will no longer sync photo and videos from your computer.  If you have a Mac, you'll want to avoid enabling it until OS X Yosemite in introduced along with it's built-in photo app, which will have to ability to access iCloud Photo Library.  (Note: the Photos app may not be introduced concurrently with Yosemite, but is supposed to follow "early next year".)

  • HT201302 How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software?

    How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software? It is asking me to restore my iphone but I need to back it up first.

    After? If you're being asked to restore you phone, and you didn't previously back it up, it's too late now. You can't back it up once it's in recovery mode.

    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
