Stop icloud sync from deleteing photos from computer?

When I ran out of space on my ICloud backup all photots were deleted from my computer -- I find this to be a serious problem - I was using the computer to maintain a backup of the photos on my IPhone - How do I stop ICoud syncing from deleting photos?

How many photos did you have? Photo Stream only keeps the last 1000. If you really want to keep the photos, import them into your iPhoto (or Aperture or Lightroom or whatever photo software you use on the Mac) and not just keep them in Photo Stream.

How to delete photos from iPhone 4 which have synced from computer

I believe this dilemma has been documented many times before and I have in fact had to resort to resetting my iphone to factory settings to remove the thousands of photos which were synced from my computer in the past. Today however, after many attempts, I have managed to remove all those photos, so I wanted to write this down for anyone else who finds themselves in my predicament. On my computer, I went to Windows Explorer and created a new folder and dragged it to "pictures" where there was a single photo displayed. I dragged this single photo into my new folder. I then went to iTunes and selected my iPhone and clicked on the 'photo' tab. Here I ticked the sync photos from box, selected my new folder and selected "selected folders". A new screen appears for folders and I ticked the new folder box and then the sync button on the bottom right of the screen. Voila, after many tries they have gone and I am left with my iPhone photos which I am able to delete normally if I wish. I appreciate people will have different computer operating systems etc so instructions may be different for them but I hope this technologically challenged individual may have helped one or two of you. I remain at a loss as to why Apple can't find a quick fix ie a trash can, where we can delete these photos. Cheers

If your OS detail provided is accurate, you won't be using or syncing this iPhone with your Mac.
On this iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings. This will get rid of all your friend's content and settings making this iPhone truly yours.

Deleting photos from iphone synced from computer

How do I delete photos on iphone 6 that were synced from my computer? My iPhone is unable to take pictures or video because all the photos from my computer have used up all my iPhone storage.

Assuming you're still using the same computer that was used to sync the photos, you would do the opposite and unsync them using iTunes.

is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photo

When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.

HT201232 how can I stop icloud drive from upgrading?

iCloud drive has been updating almost 2 days or longer on my 5s. How can I stop it from upgrading so long?
I was having a problem with not being able to swipe pages and opening apps for almost 3 weeks, so I downloaded iOS 8.1 to see if that would help but it didn't and now the icloud drive won't stop updating on my 5s. I unclicked icloud on my laptop and backed up to my computer but that didn't stop iCloud updating on my phone, I've also reset my phone and that didn't help.

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

How do I stop icloud contacts from overwriting or superseding iphone contact entrees

If i enter a new contact on my Iphone it eventualy gets wiped out (Deleted). i assume this is because it does not exist on the cloud. If i enter a new contact in the cloud, it emediatly apears on my Iphone. Nice! i like that, but i want to be able to enter new contact info on my Iphon too and have it appear in the cloud contacts. Is this posible?

If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted. Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring. Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
* If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.

HT1535 How do I do a one-way sync from computer to I-pad? Outlook Contacts only. It has already been synced and there is bad info on I-pad that I don't want on my computer.

How do I do a one way sync from contacts in computer (Outlook), to contacts on I pad (also for I-phone)? Contacts on I-Pad are incorrect and I do not want to add them back to my computer?
Alternatively, is there any way to delete contact groups all at once instead of one contact at a time?
Thank you in advance...

How can I stop iCloud music from playing while my iphone is on shuffle?

The hide feature does not stop the songs from playing it only removes them from sight. Or how can I remove songs from my iCloud.

Hello RationalPuppet
If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

My music won't sync from computer to ipod

My music( 234 songs, no videos or movies) won't sync from my computer to my ipod. This is really annoying and I had 42 songs on my ipod, knew I was missong 90 or so songs, synved it and checked my ipod...19 songs. I was so annoyed. It is not about space because the songs take up 1.18 gb and I have 1.71 gb left. Please help because I am getting to that stage where it is not about games but songs.!

Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent sysncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Turn Music off under Show All in Settings>iTunes & App Store. This will prevent purchased music that isn't on your device from appearing in your song list.

Where do I find instructions for simple iCloud operations like deleting photos I've uploaded to iCloud by mistake?

Where can instructions for simple operations in iCloud be found? I uploaded a whole bunch of photos unselectively. I'd like to delete them and start over.

The knowledge base articles for iCloud are a bit scattered. There's a pretty good help site here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd0558ce3. Thre's also a support site here with links to articles: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.
To answer your specific question, if you want to delete photo stream photos, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, tap Delete. (Unfortunately, there is no "select all" option.)
