HT5569 deleting photos of phone

How can I get old photos off my phone?  It will not allow me to delet

If these are photos that have been synced to the phone from the computer, the only way to remove them is to sync with iTunes again, only removing the checkmark by the folders you want to remove.

  • IOS 8 won't allow me to delete photos in phone library

    Upgraded my wife's phone to iOS 8. She needs to make room on her phone by deleting photos and that option doesn't appear. Tried turning off Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing, to no avail. Tried re-syncing with computer....no help. Tried rebooting phone....no help. Curiously, my phone doesn't seem to have this quirk. Any ideas? BTW they are iPhone 5.

    My phone won't allow me to delete them off. I don't know how all these pictues and movies moved onto my phone in the first place.
    Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes? Then you may have enabled the syncing of Pictures in iTunes. All iPhoto or Aperture albums and events will appear as albums on your iPhone, if you enabled this. To delete the synced photos you need to sync your iPhone again. You change the sync settings for photos in iTunes in the device’s Photo pane.

  • HT201269 Will my photos from my iPhone stay on my iPhoto when i click delete photos from phone?

    I need more memory on my iPhone and want to turn off photo stream but i already have some photos saved on my macbook pro's iphoto and i was hoping that if i turn it off and continue to save my photos on iphoto if it won't delete the photos on iphoto that i have already and just add the ones that it doesn't have? I really have sentimental photos that are filled with memories and am worried that my pictures will be deleted.
    Please anyone with any knowledge of this PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you!

    Turn photo stream off. Import all your photos to a file on your computer. Now whatever you delete on your phone will still be on your computer.
    Just dont sync those folders back to your phone or you will put them all back on your phone. And if you sync empty folders from phone to computer or vice versa you will clean out your phones pictures.
    what I recommend is once the pictures are on a file on your computer, copy and paste them all to a usb thumb drive. viola, no lost pics

  • How to delete photos on phone but keep on cloud

    How to keep pictures on Cloud and delete on phone

    Hi igerd,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to store or back up the pictures on your iPhone using iCloud. There are a few different options that are available when using iCloud services.
    You can use iCloud to back up your iPhone data, including pictures, as explained in this article:
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    Note that your photos wont be backed up if iCloud Photo Library beta is turned on:
    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.
    If you are using iCloud Photo Library beta, your pictures will be synced between your iPhone and the cloud. Removing them from your iPhone will also remove them from the cloud, as mentioned here:
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

    Hello all!
    Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
    When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
    However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
    So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
    Thanks!

    The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

  • How can I delete photos from my phone

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

  • I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • I deleted photos from my Iphone5 using the 'internal storage' in windows with the phone plugged in. Why are all the photos still in photostream when they don't show up as a file in windows anymore?

    Hi all,
    I plugged in my phone, went to my computer, iphone, storage, and deleted photos from there. But in my phones photostream, they are still there. Why is that?
    Cheers

    Hi Isaacprobert,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you still have photos in Photostream. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I edit and delete photos from my I Phone 4S album?

    I have synced my phone with I tunes and it pushed every single photo on my computer.  I do not wish to have the entire album on my phone, only select photos.  How do I delete photos?

    Thank you for the reply.  So, I guess I have to reset my phone in order to get rid of all the photos that I uploaded via the sync method on I tunes.  Pre planning is required for what photos you want to have uploaded. 

  • I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

    Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
    PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

  • Kid deleted photos off photo stream on phone, can I recover them?

    My kid accidentally deleted photos off my photo stream on phone, thus all my devices, can they be recovered?

    They should still be in the camera roll of the originating device.  Have you looked there?  Also, photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving (either by wired connection or photo stream) and then moved from the photo stream album and into a permanent album.  If you've done that, then check that computer.
