HT6378 Does a mass delete from iPhone mean they vanish everywhere else?

i have my photos on iCloud photo libary, on an iPad and on an Hone. If I lose the iPhone and the photos get deleted from it, will they also vanish from the iPad and from the iCloud Photo Library? Is ther any fail safe backup in the cloud?

Hi ronchicago2,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand wanting to know what happens to your iCloud Photo Library photos if they are deleted from a device. Please refer to the attached article for this information.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
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.
Happy holidays,
Joe

    Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted.  Trash can be bulk deleted.

    Each has to be deleted.
    But it can go faster if the iPhone is held in the horizontal position, then on the left side listing tap Edit in the upper raight bar of that pane, and just tap each email to be deleted, then when you have a batch to delete, tap delete at the bottom left.  That is the fastest way I have found.

    When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • When I delete a iMessage from a conversation, does it get deleted from the recipients screen as well ?

    Please note this is an old thread.
    I think that if they did this it could cause legal issues, such as offensive messages being deleted from the recipient before they have a chance to report the sender.
    Yes, it's an old one, but I started to send texts to the wrong recipients recently, and the problem is still up to date !
    Of course, I agree with you : there must be a legal justification.
    But, just for the discussion, I mean, when someone insists and really wants you to know he hates you, you can mute him or even report him, make screen captures…
    We are all responsible for what we say and do, but that doesn't mean we should have the ability to delete our mistakes. It's not like you can delete emails or phone calls or even physical mail.
    Very often, and that's actually why I searched this thread, I send a message to someone else than the one I thought. That's life, I mean, this is not just about agressive people. I would appreciate to be able to recover my mistake, and to not bother the wrong recipient, cancel the message. Plus, it can be something confidential.
    What is the meaning of a mistake if we don't have the chance to recover it ?
    Even the law, includes this aspect : « Is it the first, second or third time he did this ? » — I don't know in the US, but in France it's the case (and we use same iPhones).
    This is one of the radical aspects of Apple I dislike, and on this point particularly, I disagree with you, because, I think, a mistake should be recoverable.
    If, for example, I send a very rude text to someone, and then realize it was too much, I want to be able to delete it, because I changed my mind.
    But if I consider it normal (maybe I should not) then the recipient will still be able to report me.
    That's my opinion, and just wanted to share it. A mistake should be recoverable.
    Hope my english is not too bad,
    Best regards,
    Francois

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • IMessage deleted from iPhone not deleted from iPad

    I have my iMessages set up so they go to both my iPhone and my iPad and that's great. However, if I delete an iMessage from my iPhone, it does not get deleted from my iPad (and vice versa). Is there any way to set things up so my deletions also get synced? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Deactivate iMessage on your phone, then reactivate it.

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

  • Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

    Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

    Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Yes and as long as you are signed into iCloud - you can even use that phone to iMessage
    The messages stay on there until you wipe / erase / restore your old phone

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!
