Transferring and Deleting photos from iOs Devices with iCloud Photo Library

So when there was iPhoto for iOs, it was easy to transfer the folders that I made on my iOs device and then delete those photos using iPhoto for iOs. Now it doesn't seem that easy (when you have a ton of photos on the device.) So has anyone found an easy way to transfer all the photos from a folder and then delete all those photos off of the device once they are transferred?

Regardless about what else is going on here or the questions you have -- the absolute first thing to know is that if you choose to use "iCloud Photo Library" then you are a "beta tester" who is using a beta service ... namely one that is NOT RELEASED as final or stable. In other words, you cannot depend on it working or keeping your photos.
THEN the other thing you should realize is that if you use this beta service, then you have turned off your "iCloud Backup" for all yours photos. In other words iCloud will NO LONGER back up your photos.
All in all the above means that BEFORE you even attempt to use iCloud Photo Library, you better have all your photos backed up to an alternate and outside service or facility (apart from Apple) ... because that will be the only effective backup you will have for your photos.
You might look into Dropbox as that works well for me.

  • Wife and I have separate iOS devices, separate iCloud accounts. But we both want to access mail from the iMac (OSX Mavericks.) Currently only my mail is linked. How to configure so that wife's iCloud mail can be seen  on iMac. Simple and explicit please!

    My wife and I have separate ioS devices (iOS7)  with separate iCloud accounts.
    So we access our mail separately on these devices. But we would both like to be able to access mail at the desk top (iMac, OSX Mavericks). Currently only my mail is linked. How do I set up the Mac to allow it to access my wife's e-mail too, either in the same mail inbox or a separate one. Simple instructions please!

    If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

  • After downloading photos from a camera, and deleting them from the device, "iPhoto Quit Unexpectedly", photos were deleted from camera

    Does anyone have any suggestions to find these photos?  Can't believe they were deleted from camera, but are not in "Last Import".

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Cannot Modify Calendar Entries from IOS Devices or iCloud

    I'm not able to modify calendar entries on either of my IOS devices, or when logged into iCloud on a Mac or PC. From iCloud, I receive a message stating that the entry modification cannot be saved due to a server error. From an IOS device, it simply reverts back to the original entry after I click "done."
    The only way I can modify entries is through Calendar on my iMac. This seems to have just stared within the past week or so. Anyone one else experiencing this issue?

    Hello Alex, 
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    Thank you for your question regarding the Calendar synchronization issue you are experiencing when attempting to complete a synchronization of using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    Have you attempted selecting Forget Device from the menu and reconfiguring the synchronization settings? What is your default Calendar currently set as?

  • How to delete tracks from iOS device?

    Hello!
    Could somebody help me with a problem?
    How can I delete tracks, stored in my device memory (im usuing iPhone 4) when itunes match mode turned on?
    "Swipe to delete" on tracks/artist doesn't work. So the swipe works only when itunes match mode if off and its very uncomfortable to switch off itunes match everytime if I just wand to delete few albums!

    There is actually a simple solution but you have to delete all of the music thats on the device you cant get rid of the tracks individually go to setting->general->usage under storage find music swipe to delete, clears any music stored from itunes match

  • HT201302 How to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to my computer with Windows 8?

    myHow to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to  computer with Windows 8?
    Nothing indicating iPhone 4s folder for images and videos in Win 8 anymore after plugged in USB cable to PC with the iPhone 4s. Nothing pop up anymore asking if I want to backup photos  / videos to my PC (used to pop up in Win 7).
    Where can I find this folder in iPhone 4s?
    Thks!!

    You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

    How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
    This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

    KRDHarris-
    The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius.  See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
    I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

    Hi turintest2
    Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
    I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others).  I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
    In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
    On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above).  You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
    Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
    Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
    Although tedious, this seemed to work for me.  Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
    Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
    Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process.  Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
    Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

  • I have deleted email and photos from my device but icloud still says I don't have any storage

    I have deleted emails and photos from my device but iCloud still says I don't have enough storage to download the latest iOS version

    You'll have to delete more data from the device. 
    Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  (Ignore storage on icloud, since that is not part of the equation.)

    Somehow a new contact became associated with my email.  Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices.  I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

    Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
    If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

  • How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    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.

  • How to sync iPhone photos with iPad and Mac without duplicates and deleted photos?

    I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 9.4.3), an iPad2 (ios 6.1.3) and iPhone (ios 7.0.4).  I take my pictures on the iPhone and use the iPad for viewing.  I use the MBP for storage and backup.  ios 7 seems to organize the photos nicely, so I no longer need iPhoto for organizing.
    What is the best, easiest and most efficient way to share, save and backup photos (iCloud prefered versus plugging devices into the MBP) between the 3 devices without duplicates and deleted photos?  With Photo Streaming turned on, I get duplicates and it retains photos that I have deleted.
    On all three devices, I turned on Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams and iCloud > Photo Stream.
    On the MBP, I have everything under Photo Stream EXCEPT Automatic Import (I took off recently hoping to eliminate duplicates).
    If someone else already asked this question, I apologize.  This is very confusing.

    While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in.  It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
    The answer is iTunes.  Download it.  Install it.  Read the instructions.  Use it.
