Deleting photos from your iOS device

OK, so I love having the convienent to take a picture and make them appear on all my devices. However, in general I like to keep all my photos on my MBP and not my iOS (iPhone, iPad) devices. Is there a way to remove photos from my iPhone and does not affect the photos on MBP app without turning off the iCloud library?

Is there a way to remove photos from my iPhone and does not affect the photos on MBP app without turning off the iCloud library?

No, the purpose of iCloud photo library is to have exactly the same pictures on all your devices.

You can turn on 'Optimize storage' on your devices, so the photos they need less storage.

Or move the photos on your Mac to a second photo library, which does not synchronize with iCloud.  Single library can be synchronized with iCloud. If you transfer pictures to a second library, before you remove them from your iOS devices, copies in different library will remain.

    Some people have reported problems with uneven borders when you try to print 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 photos (see the example below to correct photo size v's photo with uneven borders)

    If you encounter this problem, I advise you to download the free HP ePrint APP from The App Store or Google's game, that allows you to print perfect borderless photos.

  • How to import photos from an iOS device photos via USB?

    I import my photos of iPhone & iPad via USB for pictures on my Mac.

    I turned off the option to automatically open Photo when I plug my iPhone to Mac, because in most cases, I don't want to import Photos (for example just recharge the phone via the USB port).

    But now I can not get an option to import my photos.

    I read the help pages, but can't find the answer because it suggests options should open when the USB key is inserted, but the screen remains the same

    What should I do?

    Have you tried the following:

    • Launch Photos manually once you connect your iPhone to the Mac.
    • Enter the ⌥⌘S (command-option-S) key combination to make the sidebar visible on the Photos.
    • Click on the camera icon or an iPhone in the sidebar when it appears.

    Your iPhone shows in iTunes or in the Image Capture? If iPhone doesn't appear at all, make sure it is properly loaded and unlocked, disconnecting, take a new photo, then reconnect it.

    • Start iTunes and confirm that you agree with the mac, the prompt on the iPhone.
    • Try a different USB port.
    • Try to force reboot the iPhone.

  • export Photo from Mac iOS slideshow

    If you export your slideshow to iTunes, why can I not see the movie file in the video under your own movies app like I did on my Mac?  When you check the "import to iTunes", where you see it exactly?  I can see it on my Mac, but how can I see it on my Apple TV and iOS devices?

    Hi Canozzie11,

    My understanding is that you want a slideshow of the Photos app on your Mac to be available as a video on your iOS devices and your Apple TV. Is this fair?

    It seems that if you're already following the instructions of this help page to export the slideshow as a video to iTunes - export photos, videos and slideshows - Photos help.

    Once exported to iTunes, you will find the video slideshow under movies > Home Videos. You can read this on your computer, or by using AirPlay you can play from your computer to your Apple TV. See this article - use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer wireless.

    To get the video to your iOS devices, it must be synchronized from iTunes on your computer. You must be sure that the video that you want to synchronize to the device is selected in iTunes under movies before you synchronize. See this article - synchronize your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes via USB.

    Once synchronized to your iOS device, you can play it from there to an Apple TV using AirPlay. See this article - Use AirPlay to stream the contents of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch's wireless.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Sincerely.

  • keep the photos in icloud, but remove them from the iOS device?

    Hi, need help to keep my old photos in the cloud, then to remove them from my iphone device. I can also keep on my mac but still once, how can I make sure that when I delete from my iphone I can still access them in the cloud or on my big Mac? My phone is getting to the maximum it can hold up to now need to move them to a storage for later viewing device, editing or other.

    Thank you

    You cannot store pictures on iCloud and remove them from your device. Remove them on the phone also icloud removes them. You can set for storage optimized on your device that compresses the resolution of the device stored photos, keep the originals in iCloud.

    If you want to be able to todelete pictures from your phone and store them elsewhere, you must use subscription such as Dropbox cloud storage or store them on your computer.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted photos from icloud?

    Stupidly, I didn't know that the iCloud storage plan did not provide for storage.  When I backed up my phone, it is cleared of my photos from my account.  Is it possible to recover?  Any way to go back to a previous backup?  I don't even have a deleted folder recently on my photos page.

    OK, something added here. You said that when you have backed up your device, it erased your pictures.

    When you do an iCloud (or iTunes) backup, it backs up everything on your device. It does nothing for the data on the device. Thus, your photos were eliminated in a backup. Do you import your photos in a library on your computer? The process makes you wonder if you want to delete the photos?

    We need a complete description, step by step, what you were doing, and what happened.

    See you soon,.
