HT4847 How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all together.

How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all togther.

I'm assuming you mean photo stream, since photos are not stored in icloud except for backups IF photos are set to be included in backups - and you can't remove photos from a backup after the fact.
Photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device to another - it is not designed to store photos long term (photo steam only keeps the photos for 30 days and only up to 1000 of them).
When photos are downloaded to a computer (always sync photos from an iOS device to a computer for archiving one way or another, photo stream is one such way), you should always move photos from the photo stream folder/album to a permanent location.  Once moved, you can then delete them from the stream.

    My icloud storage is almost full. How do I remove items from the cloud and not lose them?

    What items?
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books do not use up your iCloud storage.

  • How do i delete photos from my iPhone without losing them on my Macbook?

    I have imported my photos from my iPhone 4s to my MacBook and want to delete them from my phone to free up space. It seems that when I delete them from the phone they are also deleted from my iPhoto on the Macbook. How do i make sure they remain on the macbook?

    This happens because you're using iCloud for photo sharing.  Duplicate the photos on your macbook and then turn off iCloud for photos.  That will delete all cloud copies of the photos, and in the future any photos you take on your phone won't be shared automatically with your computer - meaning that if you copy them off of your phone, the ones on your phone can then be safely deleted.

  • HT4847 How do I remove videos from I cloud?

    CCan anyone tell me how to remove items from my I cloud so I can use it for new items?

    The only videos that might be in icloud are those in a backup, if you have turned on backups to icloud on your device.
    To make more storage available...
    You'd have to go into the various apps on your device that store data on iCloud and begin trimming files.  For example, Contacts and emails that are stored on icloud, must be deleted using the Contacts and Mail apps.  Be aware that deleting data from icloud will also remove if from your device.
    Backups:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.  Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data.  Then delete the backup.  That will free up space.  Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn that feature on. 
    Emails:
    Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device.  That can also save a lot of space.

  • How can i remove photos from my phone but keep them on my computer

    I want to remove the photos I have taken on my iphone to free space but I want to keep them on my computer? Is this possible?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
    Import utilities include an option to delete the photos/videos from camera after the import process is complete. The same applies after importing photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • How do I remove photos from iPhone 5 without their also being deleted from other devices?

    I have albums on my iPhone and would like to delete them but, if I do so, they will also delete from my iPad, due to syncing through iCloud.  It seems, even if I turn iCloud off, temporarily, they will delete from the iPad next time iCloud is turned on.
    I suspect that, even if I shift the albums to a flash drive, the same thing will happen.
    Thank you

    I don't understand the difference between Photo Stream and Camera Roll.
    Camera Roll is the "local" storage on your device, where photos and videos that you take get saved.  This can take up a lot of space, and since Camera Roll is part of your backup that makes your backup very large too.
    My Photo Stream is the iCloud storage for photos.  This also takes up space, but not as much because they're not full resolution.  Depending on your device settings, when you take a picture it is saved in Camera Roll and then automatically uploaded to your My Photo Stream (for the purpose with sharing with other devices on your iCloud account).  My Photo Stream is meant to be temporary as it only holds the last 30 days' photos and only up to 1000 ... as these limits are reached, the oldest photos get deleted from iCloud.  Note that videos that you take do not get uploaded to My Photo Stream.
    Think of Camera Roll as you would think of a digital camera, and My Photo Stream as a temporary cloud-based storage area for sharing.
    So as roaminggnome says above, make a habit of transferring photos and videos from Camera Roll to your computer and then delete them from the device.  If you want to keep them on the device, still transfer and delete them but then make a designated folder on your computer for the things you want on your device and sync them back to your iPhone by telling iTunes to sync to this folder on your computer.

  • How do i recover photos from i cloud without access to the phone

    i have a broken i phone how do i recover pictures etc onto laptop?

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
