If I delete photos from photo stream to create space will it also delete my back-ups in 'Photos' automatically stored under 'photo stream'?
I need to create space on my iphone4. I have moved all my photo stream pics to 'Photos' Library on my mac which were automatically labelled 'photo stream' there. Now I want to delete all my photo stream, however I am afraid it will delete the newly transfered pics labelled 'photo stream' in the library. Is it safe to delete?
If you enabled Automatic Import in iPhone>Preferences>Photo Stream, you photo stream photos should be safely imported to your iPhoto library. You can check by control-clicking on any photo stream photos; if it says "Show in Library" on the pop-up that opens, it has been imported to your library. Once the photos are in your iPhoto library, you can safely delete them from photo stream on your phone.
(You can test this by taking a test photo on your phone, waiting for it to upload to photo stream and import to your iPhoto library, then deleting it from photo stream on your phone and confirming that it is still in your iPhoto library on your Mac.)

If i delete/change the ID on my I pad, will it also delete on my other Ipad, both have same ID. What else will it change?
Before you do anything, please note that all your purchases made with your Apple ID and iTunes account, are forever tied to that ID and account. You will not be able to update apps unless you use the Apple ID used to download them. You will not be able to access music if you delete it from your device, it will not show as purchased.
(Really sick and tired of trying to fix this AFTER it becomes a huge problem for users)

With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan
If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up. I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

Is it safe to delete an iMovie project or will it also delete the movie in the Theater?
Is it safe to delete an iMovie project to save memory or will it also delete the movie in the iTheater?
Thank you very much....I am new to Apple from a pc, so I am really a novice!!
Just to clarify, the movie will stay in the file and in the theater even though it is too big for iCloud? -
If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?
They will be deleted from iCloud any other devices that are sharing the account/photo stream. They shouldn't be deleted from Dropbox. As I understand it, Dropbox only automatically uploads photos, it doesn't automatically delete photos.

I'm just confused, so if I delete a photo off my photo stream on my iPhone will it be deleted on my computer the next time I connect the two together? Or will it still be on my computer
If your computer is signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled, it will. Deleting a photo stream photo on any of your devices will delete it from photo stream an your other devices that are syncing with your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.
However if when you say "the next time I connect the two together" you are talking about connecting your phone to your computer with your usb cable, then no. When you connect your phone with your usb cable you are only importing camera roll photos, not photo stream photos. Thus, nothing you do with your photo stream photos will have any effect on this. -
If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?
They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream. -
If I delete photos on my iPad will I also delete them from my mac book pro
If I delete photos on my iPad will that also delete them from my mac book pro. I want to create more storage on my iPad but don't want to loose the pictures permanently. They are also on my laptop. They are all in iPhoto plus they are in photos on my iPad
It depends on where you delete them from, where they are showing on your Mac, and what settings you have set up in iPhoto.
If you want to keep your photos, you should be importing them to your Mac or Computer:
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
If you delete photos from your device that are only showing in Photo Stream on your Mac, and you do not have Photo Stream set up to automatically import those photos to iPhoto, they will be deleted.
You can set up Photo Stream photos to automatically import by opening iPhoto and clicking on Preferences>Photo Stream, and turning Automatic Import on. This will import your Photo Stream photos. However, if you also have photos saved on your device that are not in the Photo Stream, then the only way you can ensure that they are saved in iPhoto is by importing them.

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)? I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library. I can click on the Music link under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not. I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue. This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.
The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC. These we had loaded into iTunes. I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine. The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync. I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again. 64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?
OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
Gone from the Album:
Gone from the Library:
In the Trash:
Whaddup with that?

i have just imported my photos on my ipad to my new mac book pro. can i now delete them from my ipad to create more space without losing them on my laptop?
Yes you can delete them. Removing them from the iPad has no effect at all on the Mac.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.) -
suppose you create an album of photos imported from your iPhone with roll, then delete those photos on the roll ... because they were also deleted on the album?
If you create an album directly on the phone, then if you delete the photo from its original album then it will also be deleted from all albums that you've copied it into; if you just remove it from the newly created album then it will just be deleted from that album, it will still be in its original album and any other albums that you've copied it into.

Which photos are you trying to delete?
You should be able to delete photos in your Camera Roll that have been taken by your device or copied to it from emails, websites, etc.
Photos that were transferred to your device during a sync process are deleted by doing another sync but before syncing deselect those albums you no longer want.
