Why have Photos and Notes deleted from my phone without my approval?

Could this be because my phone is at maximum storage capacity?

My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6

    Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6 even after i remove them from itunes. plus it shows as others in the storage. how to remove the albums ? i removed them from the itunes linked folders though it still shows on the iphone !!!

    If they were placed on the phone using iTunes sync, the following from iTunes: Syncing photos has instructions on how to remove them. If that doesn't work it is usually because they were added from another computer. Many have reported success by first adding one or two new photos to the phone via iTunes sync using the instructions in the above link and then syncing again using the delete instructions below.
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

  • Lightroom 5:  "Remove Photo" will not delete from hard drive

    I just discovered that when I am using the "Remove photo" feature from the library, while the photo is removed from the catalog and "deleted", it remains on my external hard drive.  Is there a fix to this issue?  I did go to my external drive and create a file and then delete it.  I had read in other forums that this allowed Lightroom to find the correct place. This did not solve my problem.
    Thank you for any assistance.
    Karen

    Yes I do.
    After I posted, I tried it again in a different file (I organize my photos
    on my external drive by month and year).  In the month of August file, I
    can delete in Lightroom and it deletes from my hard drive.  It appears to
    only be happening in my September file, at least as far as I can tell now.
    I created all of my file folders 2 months ago, so it isn't something I
    just did.
    Any thoughts?

  • How can I delete photos and or albums from my iphone without having to delete them in all locations?  I have some pictures in an album that i want to remove them from but when I try it asks do I want to delete picture  from all loc

    I have pictures in albums on my iphone.  I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations.  I only want to delete it from 1 album.  Is this possible to do?

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

  • Photos are not deleted from "recently deleted" folder after 30 days

    Hello-
    I tried to sync my iPhone 6 today, and iTunes read that there were 2500 pictures stored on my device (nearly double what I actually have). I did some searching online and I found that if I change the date of my phone back 1 month (to Feb. 15), all of the photos that were supposed to have been deleted from the "recently deleted" photos folder had reappeared. I manually went back through and deleted the photos that had reappeared in my recently deleted folder from every month since I got my phone (Oct. '14), and then iTunes said I was back down to 1400 pictures.
    Why hadn't the pictures deleted after 30 days like they were supposed to? How can I rectify this?
    Thanks,
    Carson

    Thanks for your quick answers!
    I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
    I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
    My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
    And thanks again!

  • Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

    I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID:  an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
    Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together.  Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
    However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream.  More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.)  The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
    Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way?  I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
    The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream.  Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running?  I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time.  It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
    How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream?  I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • My photos will not sync from my phone to computer

    I have a new macbook pro with retina display and whenever I try to sync my photos from my phone to iPhoto, it either doesn't sync at all or it will stop half way through and just be frozen at importing one photo. If I try to stop and save the photos half way through it just does not let me and I have to disconnect my phone and nothing would be imported. How do I get it to import all my photos?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • Lost all photos, and music, apps from my phone can...

    Hi newbie here, had my nokia 800 for a over 12 months now and has been working ok up till 3 days ago, wouldnt charge at all no power, just vibrated and never started up. anyway tried pressing a few keys after looking at a few forums trouble shooting guides and the phone seems to have been reset!
    i had a lot of photos of my daughter being born which are very precious to me and want to try an retrieve them, i also cant seem to find them on Zune only the few recent ones i have taken since the phone came back from the dead, is there any way of getting them through zune?
     my phone has played up again in the last 24 hours but it seems to charge ok after a while.
    PLEASE help.
    regards dan

    If you has the auto upload function for pictures turned on you'll find the photos on Skydrive. While I can understand it must be feeling bad you lost the images please ensure you backup and sync pictures to your PC on a regular basis. Something can happen to your phone so the golden rule here is backup your personal files..

  • HT204022 I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone.  When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option.  Please help.

    I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone.  When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option.  Please help.

    If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off.  To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

  • My iPad is double downloading iTunes TV series shows and when I delete, the extra show does not delete from the available memory.  I have lost almost 30GB of my 64 to this phantom shows.

    I am losing available memory on my iPad (64 GB 3rd gen) and it appears to lose memory because some TV shows that I have downloaded from iTunes are appearing twice in my downloads.  Both download, but when Only appear as 1 show on my "videos".  After viewing the show, I delete, but the duplicate show appears to be still there somewhere (not visible anywhere) taking up the same amount of memory that showed before downloading.  It reduces my available memory to download other shows.  The general settings do not show any of these phantom shows taking any memory, but the total available is much, much less than what is showing for all usage such as music, videos, photos, apps, etc
    Is it possible to delete a show from the download portion of iTunes if you have already seen a show and do not want to waste time or memory downloading again?  The only way that I know is to let it download completely and the delete from "Videos".

    John0618. Did you ever get a response or solution to problem?  I have the same problem (starting about three months ago).
