I want to delete photos on my ipad but not delete them from my main computer?

After deleting my photos from my iPad to make room for more, does this automatically delete them from my main computer or is there a mechanism to prevent them from being deleted from the main computer?

If you are referring to photo stream, then if you set your computer up correctly to have photo stream photos automatically imported into iPhoto events, then deleting the photos from your photo stream album, on another device, will not delete them from the computer.

  • HT204022 I have successfully saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone so that i can free up space and take more pictures.  How do I do this?

    I have saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone only to free up space and take more pictures and video.  How do I do this?

    You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon.  (There is no "select all" option.)

  • HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

    Is there a way to manually manage apps? I have lots of apps that I don't want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently.

    Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account.  They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
    The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

  • Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded my 3000  photos. I now want to delete them from my phone. Can I still access them from the cloud of I do? If so how? Thank you in advance.m

    Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos.  Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • HT4847 Is there a way to delete items from icloud? I have downloaded a lot of books on my Kindle App, and want to delete them from iCloud once I have read them

    I have been downloading books through my Kindle App on my iphone and ipad. Since they save in iCloud, how can I delete them since it apprears my icloud data storage is full.

    Delete them from the device that downloaded them and they'll no longer be part of any back up.

  • There are songs on my icloud that I deleted from my itunes, but still show up on icloud. I want to delete them from icloud, but can't since they don't appear in my itunes!

    I have a large library on icloud- 26203 songs is the count when I'm playing over my apple TV, but my itunes only shows 25989 songs. There are songs on icloud that no longer are in my itunes library, or show up in itunes as being on icloud. I want to delete these songs but can't figure out how. I have reset my itunes match on both my computer and my apple tv to no avail.

    No. It's on and I update it daily.
    When I talk about removing songs from my shuffle play, I'm referring to listening over apple TV. My cloud limit is nearly maxed out, so I am constantly removing/adding songs. That's why I was surprised when I went to delete a song I no longer wanted in the mix and was surprised to find it already deleted from my itunes, but still present in the cloud. I've signed in and out of itunes/and match on apple tv as well, but that didn't remove the tunes in question!

  • HT4847 I have a lot of room to store photos on my ipad which I use as my computer.  How can I keep saving photos on my ipad but not my iphone?

    I would like to store my photos on my ipad, not my iphone.  I have 64 GB on my ipad, and do not have a computer.  My icloud is full, so I would like to only save photos/videos on my ipad, and not my iphone.  Is this possible?  Or do I have to save them to a computer?

    Did you enable photo stream? if so, that service will sync the photos across your devices. But you can turn it off. If it's on, try going into the iPad settings, iCloud control panel and turn off photo syncing and then see if the photos remain on your iPad only.

  • Photo album on ipad but not iphone

    I Have made an album on ipad but it didn't go to iphone ????

    Albums that you create on one device do not sync to other devices. Photos in the Photo Stream will sync across devices but albums will only reside on the device on which they are created.

  • I cannot send some people a text from Messenger on my iPad but CAN send them from my iPhone

    I don't understand why I can send a person a text message from my iPhone but when I try to send the same message to the same person from my iPad, it tells me it cannot send as the person isn't registered.  What does this mean.  Yet I can send messages to others on both the iPhone and my iPad.  Can you tell me what's going on?  Thanks

    The iPad uses iMessage to send messages. iMessages can only be sent to iDevices like the iPhone, iPod and iPad. Apple products such as the iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, etc running Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and later can also send/receive iMessages.
    Hope this helps,
    Ryan

  • Removing photos from iPad without deleting them from computer?

    I just bought an Apple Mac  air laptop.  I have uploaded all my photos from my iPad and, iPod touch.  I need space on my iPad.  Can I delete pictures from my iPad without deleting from the Apple Mac air laptop?  Do I need to change settings on the iPad device:
    1.  iCloud - already increased
    2. Photo stream
    I don't know how else to make room for more apps or music unless I remove photos.  Please help!

    What do you mean that you uploaded them? If you think that they are being stored in iCloud, then you cannot rely on that. Camera roll photos are backed up in iCloud but can only be restored if you restore the entire backup. You cannot selectively restore photos or files from iCloud. You restore everything or nothing at all.
    If you remove the photos and then backup again with iCloud you also stand the chance of overwriting that backup that has the photos in it with a backup that includes none of the photos at all. Then you would have no photos to restore anyway.
    If you imported the photos to the Mac using this method, you can safely delete the photos from the iPad without worrying about them being deleted from the Mac.

    After you import the photos you can delete them from the iPad, If you import using iPhoto, you will be asked if you want to delete them from the device after the photos are transfer to the Mac.

  • How can I delete photos and or albums from my iphone without having to delete them in all locations?  I have some pictures in an album that i want to remove them from but when I try it asks do I want to delete picture  from all loc

    I have pictures in albums on my iphone.  I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations.  I only want to delete it from 1 album.  Is this possible to do?

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

    Importing bookmarks from IE does NOT delete your Windows Favorites. They will still appear both in IE and on your Start menu > Favorites folder.
