If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.

Check out this discussion >  If i delete pictures from my camera roll on my iPhone will they be deleted from my iCloud also?

  • HT201250 Once I use time machine to back up my Mac Air, can I delete all my files from HD and still have access to them on TM (external hard disk)?

    New to Time Machine. The HD on my Mac Air is full so I got an external HD and using TM to back up everything.
    Can I erase all files (pictures, docs, etc) from my Mac and still have access to those files through Time Machine?

    That is a bad idea. Time Machine is strictly a backup utility. What you describe will require archiving files, which Time Machine is not designed to accomplish.
    Once you erase files from your MacBook Air, they will eventually be erased from your Time Machine backup. This is by design, as Time Machine will eventually fill your backup volume and will delete old files as required. Depending on when they were first backed up and how long they existed on your MBA before you erase them, they could disappear in as little as one hour.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner or equivalent "clone" utility and configure it to archive files that do not exist on the source, or simply copy them over manually using the Finder. You can then delete them from your MBA. Bear in mind that once you do that, you no longer have a backup copy. The only copies will exist on the external HD.

  • I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

    I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

    You can't. It doesn't work that way.
    the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

  • Open pictures in Camera RAW and still have paths/clipping paths?

    Hello
    A big problem in Bridge is that I can not open my pictures in Camera RAW and still have my paths left. I work in a place where we get loads of product photos from many different companies and they almost always have a clipping path in it. Many of the pictures do we have to fix like colour, exposure etc and this is here Bridge comes in as the best solution to batchfix them. But now I have to take the long way through Photoshop. Is there a solution for this?, an update from Adobe or a script or something.
    Have a nice day!

    You do know that you can deconfigure Camera Raw from opening TIFFs and JPEGs, right?
    These are the settings I've chosen.  Done this way, JPEGs and TIFFs just open right into Photoshop, and their clipping paths would be intact.

  • My home computer had a virus and was reset. My photos were loaded from my adobe photoshop software. My computer will now only load from my camera roll and all my other photos are trapped on my 4g touch. Can anybody help?

    When I plug in my ipod I can only get pics from my camera roll. Its like the other pics are not even there. I am afraid if I sync it to my computer I will erase all these picture. There are over 2500 pics of my family and kids. I loaded them from my Adobe photoshop 5 software.

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream

    How to remove ghost space on Camera Roll under Usage. No photos on camera. 545MB shown on Camera Roll and 1.8MB on Photo Stream?
    Trying to clean up space to download updated iOS. Thanks!
    Have tried unsuccessfully the left swipe and pressing the red delete. No change.

    The only problem is I have only 1.6GB available and need 3.7 to update to the iOS7.  I also have 2.6GB in the "Other" catagory.  How do I access the "Others" area in iTunes in order to see what is there and what I might be able to delete in order to create the amount of space needed.  Thanks for your help!

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • I have a 5s phone.  How do I download ALL of the photos from my phone?  When I downloaded all of them, just the photos on Camera Roll were downloaded.  The photos in the folders were still there. Any help will be appreciated. Rosemary

  • How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

    how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

    You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

    There's Toast.

    $79.99
    Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.
    $299.99
    How large is your movie?  Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD?  Is uploading to YouTube an option?

  • I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

  • HT4847 I need to free up space in my iCloud - most of it is used by photos - if I stop backing up my camera roll will it send the photos to my photo stream?? I already backup all photos on photo stream on my macbook??

    so if I stop backing up my camera roll and delete the ones stored on icloud - will it still send all new photos taken to my photostream?? I already save the photos on my macbook.
    thanks sheri

    Yes, Photo Streams work independent of the iOS Backup.
    But a better way to manage your photos would be best. Use Camera Roll for new photos only like we used to do with the old film cameras. Once your Photos are organized into iPhoto on your Mac sync them back to the iPhone through iTunes. The photos in the Photo Library on the iPhone are not included with the iOS Backup since they should be already backed up in the computer's backups.

  • When my photos are backed up to my iCloud, and i delete them from my camera roll and then back up my photos again, the pics i deleted are still on my icloud taking up space?

    im trying to free up space on my iCloud from pics i had on my camera roll that i dont need or want that did get backed up to my iCloud. i wasnt aware that pics stay there after i delete them from my camera roll. if thats correct.

    You don't need to delete photos from your camera roll to save on backup sizes, you can turn individual items on and off for back up in your iCloud back up settings.
    Apple States that the last 3 back ups are accessible, which means the photos from your back up may not be removed immediately.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

    Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
    1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
    2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
    3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
    4.)  Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
    5.)  Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
    This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
    I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
    I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
    6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
    7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
    8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
    Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

    What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    In regards to backing up Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
    Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
    "No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
    However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
    To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
    1.)  It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
    2.)  Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
    3.)  Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos.  (Tested it personally)
    4.)  Photo Stream has a limit according to:  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
              Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
    5.)  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083  (As shown above)
    6.)  To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website.  Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
    7.)  You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities.  For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
    8.)  On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
    "You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails"
