If my photos from my iphone are on icloud, do i need to keep them on my phone?

I can't download OS7 because I don't have enough storage on my phone. If my photos from my iphone on on icloud - do I need to keep them on my phone?

You can delete any tracks you do not wish to have on the iPad and redownload them at any time. There is a setting you should be aware of, as well as a quirk (lets say design flaw):
Settings app >  Music > Show all Music. This either exposes (if tuen on) or hides (if turned off) the un-downloaded tracks in Match. I have around 17,000 tracks in Match and find it useful to turn this off to facility easily locating albums already on teh device.
If you choose to stream a track rather than downloading first, it will actually download teh track. Once this occurs, you cannot delete it by swiping. teh only way to remove it is to delete all tracks from the device via Settings app > General > Usage > Music. A bit of a pain and my only real complaint with iTunes Match.

  • I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month.  Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

    My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone.  They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them. 

    The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
    The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

  • How do i download photos from my iphone 5c to icloud?

    How do i download photos from my iphone 5c to icloud? There's too much space on my phone.

    You can't really use iCloud to free up space on your phone.  If you add the photos to photo stream, then delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from photo stream and they will be lost.
    If you need to free up space on your phone by removing photos, you'll have to import them to your computer from your camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Then you can delete them from your phone but they will be backed up on your computer.

    Are these photos that were on your iphone before you set up photo stream?  If so, too late.  Only photos taken after setting up photo stream are synced.

  • I upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto?

    i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.

    I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
    Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit.

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Some of my photos from my iPhone are sinking to my iPad and others are not. I can't work out why this is the case.  Everything seems to be set up correctly.

    Having had an iPhone for some time, I recently purchased an iPad.  Everthing has been set up correctly in terms of iCloud, this was checked by Apple today, the set up in iTunes relating to photos says sync all, again I think this is correct.
    However, some photos from my iPhone taken before I purchased the iPad are sinking to the iPad and others are not.  I have no idea why and would be really greatful for any insights on this matter.
    Furthermore, I have since deleted some photos from my iPhone but these still appear on my iPad and I am unable to delete them.
    Thanks for your help! It's driving me nuts!

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

  • I need simple advice as to how to transfer/store photos from my iPhone 4 to iCloud to free up memory on my phone.

    Hi....I have 1400 odd photos on my iPhone 4 and am running out of memory so I bought extra storage (25GB) on iCloud which I have set up to use.  However I'm not familiar with how iCloud works and I don't synch my iPhone with a computer but I want the comfort of knowing that when I transfer the photos to iCloud they are there and need to know how to access them again if/when I want to.
    I have looked at the Photos & Camera section in General Settings but really have no idea what Camera Roll, Photo Library or Photo Stream refer to.    I take photos as and when the mood strikes me, don't share them with anyone and only want to retain them for future reference as and when I feel like it.
    Which leads me to my queries:
    1. How do I transfer the photos to iCloud?
    2. Can I open folders to seperate different batches of photos in iCloud?
    2. When I have done this is it safe to delete the photos from my iPhone?
    3. If so how do I delete them all in one go?
    4. How do I access the photos again from iCloud?
    Please keep the answers/ instructions simple/idiot proof as no doubt you will have surmised by now that the nature of my queries is indicative of my limited knowledge as to exactly what can be done with my iPhone!!!!

    iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage).  iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll.  But that's pretty much it.
    Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source).  Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good.  The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
    So, your questions..
    1) You don't/can't
    2) No, because of 1.
    3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless.  not so on a device.
    4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud.  You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

  • I have deleted photos from my iphone 4s by mistake can I restore to retrieve them?

    Is there a way of restoring deleted photos to my iphone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are referring to photos in the camera roll, Then yes they can be restored providing you have a backup that contains them.

  • How can I erase songs from my iPhone that I bought on iTunes Store but keep them on my Music Library?

    I'm having this problem, that I bought some songs from my iPhone in iTunes Store, but I don't want to have them in my iPhone anymore. I tried to erase the songs from my Music Library, but when I syncronize the iPhone automatically, these songs are copied again to my Music Library, so there's no way to get rid of them. Although, I would like to keep these songs in my iTunes Media folder. I tried to do it manually, but I couldn't still.
    I would really appreciate that someone could help me

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • My "edited" photos on my iPhone are not edited at all when I copy them to my computer.

    I spent hours cropping pictures on my iPhone using it's built in editing feature and I "saved" every single one.  Plugged in my iPhone to my Ultrabook to copy them and NONE of them have retained any of the edits I made.  ALL the pictures I cropped are back to their original picture size. Why aren't the edits I made on the photos applied to them when I import them to my computer?  And why does my iPhone ask me to "save" after I make changes if it doesn't really save them?

    The following has an explanation: iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps
