When I delete iPhone images are they saved on my iMac? New Photos and iCloud not clear yet

Since the NEW Photos is out and my new subscription to iCloud storage increase I an not clear(or feel safe yet) what happens to my images when deleted from my iPhone5 to clear up space. It asks if I want photos removed from all my devices. Is my iMac a "device" and how can I save all my images, iCloud or not, to a hard drive? I feel like a newbie now because of new insecurities with Photos and iCloud storage/manipulation of photos... Sorry for the silly question but any clarity would help... ThankX

Yes your iMac is a device. If you are using iCloud Photo Library on both your iMac and in Photos on your iMac, if you delete a photo on either it will be deleted from both and from iCloud. If it is iCloud it is also on both devices. You save storage on your iPhone by setting it to optimize storage. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

  • I've installed ios 6 on my iPhone 4. I can't find "shared streaming photo" and "iCloud tabs"

    Escuse me I'm an italian boy. I've installed ios 6 yesterday on my iPhone 4 and on my iPod Touch 4g. In my iPod i can't find the tabs in the icloud tabs (safari). In my iPhone 4 i can't find shared photo stream and also the tabs in the iCloud tabs. i've surfed in internet with the two devices but the folder of the iCloud tabs remains empty . why? please help me.

    For iCloud tabs be sure that both devices are signed into the same iCloud account, and that you have opened multiple web pages rather than always opening new sites in the same web page.
    Shared photo streams are inititiated by opening the camera roll in the thumbnail (grid) view, then tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to share, tap the Share button, tap Photo Stream, select the email address of the people you want to share these photos with, fill in a name for it, turn on Public if you want them to be able to view it on icloud.com, type Next, fill in comments if you want, the tap Post.

  • Why is it that when I delete bookmarks or favorites, they are also deleted from my husband phone?, why is it that when I delete bookmarks or favorites, they are also deleted from my husband phone?

    Why is it that when I delete bookmarkes or favorites, they are also deleted from my husbands phone?

    Because you set both of them up using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account. Don't do that. You should each have your own iCloud account, even if you want to share an Apple ID for apps and music. Odds are, you are both receiving iMessages intended for the other as well.

  • HT4236 I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update. 
    If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

    i have bought my Iphone 4s from USA and right now i am in India. How can i repair my phone in INDIA. when i contacted the image store they said, they will not repair it. friends can you suggest any possible solution

    Because an iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase. You will have to take it back to the USA or send it to someone there to have them take it to an Apple store.

        pamalushka54,
    We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

  • Images are sometimes saved under original name, other times, under name url.*

    After recent update to FF 23 I have a problem with saving image files. Whenever I drag and drop the image from page to desktop (Explorer) or if I open the image page and press Ctrl+S, I get image file names (most of the times) url.jpg or url.gif or url.png, etc.
    Sometimes the filename matches original image name, but mainly it is url.*
    I have several extensions installed, but they were installed on previous FF versions and did not cause the problem. (Ghostery, AdBlockPlus, FireBug, etc.) Turning extensions off does not seem to make any effect.
    In about:config I have "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite" set to "false".

    I have been doing some digging on my account.  I have right clicked on the offending songs (which is about 1 in 25 or so) and then clicked on the sort tab and found that the data is all jumbled -- title and artist start out as incorrect but then I play the song and it corrects itself.  On the "Get Info" tab the artist and song are listed correctly but the sorting information is incorrect (not surprising -- right?).  I read somewhere that it might have to do with duplicate songs and to delete the duplicates.  I have not deleted anything yet and am still diagnosing but I feel like I have a better handle on it.
    There is one album that seems to be causing real problems and gave me a big hint.  There are three tracks for each song.  One track was one I purchased under an old Apple ID in 2009.  In 2012, I bought a new macbook and set up the itunes library and this duplicate track is listed as being purchased in 2012, as well.  All the other older songs that are not having problems have the Nov 2012 date instead of the original purchase date.  the third track is the one that is misnamed and then changes to the real song title when I click on play but the sort order is still an issue.  Did you happen to get a new computer recently?

  • I can not install  Itunes 10.5 on vista or windows 7 my iphone 4 is much slower and freezes when i go to the store they turn me away with my laptops and tell me to buy there computer thats the only answer. I know there has to be away around it?

    I ca not install  Itunes 10.5 on vista or windows 7 my iPhone 4 is much slower and freezes and also certain apps and also certain features will not work on the phone now that I cannot update it to ios5. When I go to the store they turn me away with my laptops and tell me to buy there computer that's the only answer. I know there has to be away around it? I am also up for a new upgrade on my second phone line and was going to get a 4s but now I am thinking it may be the wrong choice I am very unhappy with Apple right now...

    WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

  • I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    ... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
    Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
    Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
    Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
    Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
    Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
    Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
    Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
    at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
    until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
    In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
    If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
    A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • Why is there a thin dark line between two of my three cover images that wasn't there before?  When I delete the images, you can tell that there is extra space between the first two image boxes.

    Getting ready to purchase my first book, I looked over everything once more and noticed that there is now a thin gray line between the first two of my three cover images.  I believe this may have happened when I switched out the left image.  When I delete the images, you can see an extra space between the center and left image boxes.  How can I fix this without starting over?

    What size book? Are you previewing this way -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

    any idea when cases of iPhone 5 are coming out

    Sorry, only Apple will know that, Rob; and even if we knew, nobody would be allowed to post it here, before the raw support has been released.
    Keep checking this link.  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    I'm waiting for the Aperture update so I can start playing with my pics.
    I can understand, that you are eager to try your new camera - try Adobe's DNG converter, while you are waiting - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintos h
    or shoot rwa&jpeg and set the Import panel to import raw&jpeg, with the jpeg as original. YOu can change that later, when the raw support has been released, and use the raw files you imported.

    They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area.  The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader.  But the exact location is OS dependant.
