HT201317 How do you save photos from photo stream to a Mac and then delete them from iPad?

I am trying to transfer photos taken from my iPad (where they were taken) and want them saved on my Mac using the icloud and photo stream where the photos now reside.  If I saved them as events on the MAC can they now be deleted from the photo stream?

Yes.  Set up iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences like this:
The photos get imported into an Event automatically.  Always confirm that the photos have been safely imported before deleting off your iPad.  Sometimes importing takes a while and you don't wan't to jump the gun on the iPad.

    Hi Julian,
    Another query was: When I try to download a .pdf document from a webpage, the Quicktime app., opens it, instead of Adobe, or Preview! Hence I onlyu see one page of what could be several pages.
    I tried the Apple Guru but they still haven't phoned me back!
    Do you know what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

  • How do i get all photos that ive got in my photo stream to i cloud and then put on to new device?

    Can any1 help me i want to know how to get all my photos from my photo stream to i cloud and then find them and put them back on my new iphone?? Ive always had on i cloud and synced via wifi but i cant find them anywhere!??

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    If this is what seems to be happening here, then one solution would be to create a shared photostream album on your old phone using the older photos that haven't transferred to your new phone.
    You should regularly save your photos to a computer, photo stream will only save photos to your computer if instructed to do so and then only when iPhoto is open.

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • I want to dump my photos from my phone onto my pc automatically, and then delete them from my phone. How do I do this?

    My wife and I both have an iphone 4s. We have been taking photos, and now the space on our phones is maxed out. Is there a way for me to automatically dump the photos onto my computer, and delete photos on my phone so that I hog up the space with photos? It seems like this shouldn't be complicated, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to copy the photos to my pc, and then delete them from my phone.

    Connect the phone to your computer and open whatever image capture application you have on the computer. An application you use to transfer photos from a camera to your PC should work with the iPhone. The computer will recognize the phone as a camera and allow you to copy photos to the computer, you can then keep or delete the photos from the iPhone.

  • Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to  free up space on my iPhone?I would  still like to keep them somewhere where they can  be accessed.

    Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to  free up space on my iPhone?I would  still like to keep them somewhere where they can  be accessed.

    One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

  • How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    You can use the camera connection kit.

    If your camera has an SD card
    or the lightening to USB for your videos

    (might also work for your camera)
    The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

  • How do you send pics from iPad?

    How do you send pics from iPad? I've tried to use the photos icon at the bottom, select the pics, and enter the email address. Problem is they never show up in the email. Any thoughts? I've also tried Pages app and a few others with the same result.

    I discussed the problem with Melissa at Apple. We tried reset, then we found about 50 attempts to email pics from Photos, stuck in Outbox. Deleted all of them, and we were able to send pic from Photos. Next day the problem was back, and emptying Outbox does not fix. Have not tried renewing account yet, worried about losing Inbox stuff.

    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?

    It's always been like this as far as I know.

  • Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed?  I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone.  Is this possible?

    I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them.  I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file.  Is this possible?

    Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup.  Check in the app store.

  • How do I archive emails in mail and then delete them from my inbox?

    I need to archive a bunch of emails for a project, and I know that if I put them in a mailbox and then delete them from my inbox, they're gone. So, what's the most efficient way to save 100s of emails that will eventually need to be filed within a project file?

    // Sample code
    List resList = new Vector();
    MyObject obj = null;
    while(rs.next()) {
        obj.setXXX(rs.getXXX(i));  // Get from the resultset and set to the object
        resList.add(obj);
    // At the end of the loop, you have a Vector of objects holding data.What do you mean by returning Strings separately?

  • I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

    I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

    Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:
