Deleting photos

I downloaded some pictures on my computer, but when I delete all the pictures from my phone, they are deleted on my computer. How can I stop this?

This is the correct behavior when you activate iCloud photo library.  iCPL is a service that allows you to synchronize all your edit actions, including deletions, on one of your devices to iCPL active devices.

If you are concerned about the storage space consumed by the pictures on your iDevice, set your Sertings Photos using a local library optimized.

    How to delete photos on my Iphone without deleting my icloud

    You can not.

    iCloud is not to do what you ask. It is a synchronization service. It is designed for exactly what you see.

    You could import from the phone to a PC. This would free of space on your phone. You can use iCloud for synchronize * only * between your PC and the cloud.

    If you set the photos on your to OPTIMIZE, will decrease the amount of space on your phone.

  • How to recover permanently deleted photos iOS?

    Recently, I accidentally deleted photos of my camera and later permanently erased from the recently deleted folder and forget they were there. I only have backups iCloud. I don't have any iTunes ones. I tried the deletion and restoration of two backups. A for a few days and the other nearly two weeks ago. Two of them restore all photos of how they were after the pictures have been permanently despite them being backups before the deletion took place. These photos are gone for good? It seems to me that they are. I thought for sure the backups restore them, but they did not. Any help would be appreciated. There are additional methods, I can try that I have not already? Thank you.

    If you have been synchronized with iCloud, using a computer, go to iCloud.com/Photos to see if they are there, but I doubt they will. Looks like they are gone for good.

  • Supprimer delete photos on iPhone, keep on mac using ICloud?

    Hello! How do I remove photos from my iPhone and always keep them on my mac? I use iCloud and have about 50 GB of Photos on my phone. My plan is bigger than that, but again, I don't want to have that many photos on my iPhone (but keep them on my mac). Is this possible? I tried to import on my Mac, but it doesn't show me all the pictures are on my phone. It shows me about 3000 instead of 11000... TIA

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you want to remove photos from your iPhone, but still keep the photos on your Mac. Use the article import pictures and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to import all the photos from your iPhone to your Mac, more specifically, this section:

    Import into your Mac.

    You can use Photos for OS X to import photos from your iOS device to your Mac without using iCloud photo library. This procedure also works for the import of images from digital cameras and SD cards.

    1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or digital camera to your Mac with a USB cable. If you use an SD card, insert it into the SD slot on your Mac, or connect using a card reader.
    2. You need to unlock your iOS device using your access code. You can also see a prompt on the device iOS asking you to Trust This Computer. Tap the confidence to continue.
    3. On your Mac, the Photos app automatically opens. If not, open the Photos app.
    4. The Photos app shows a screen of import with all photos and videos that can be found on the connected device. If the import screen does not automatically appear, click the Import tab at the top of the Photos app, or click on the name of the device in the sidebar of Photos.
    5. To import a selection of photos, click the ones you want, and then click Import selection. To import all new pictures, click Import all Photos again.
    6. Once the import is complete, a message asks if you want to delete or keep the photos on your device. Click on remove items to remove photos or click on keep items to keep them on the device.
      If you select keep items, you will need to remove them directly from your device when you want to remove.
    7. You can now disconnect your device from your Mac. If you imported photos from an SD card or USB, safely eject the device first device.

    Imported photos appear in the album last import of the Photos app.

    Photos and videos that sync you from your computer on your device iOS through iTunes can be imported to your computer.

    Know what to do If you can not import pictures from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.

    Once you have made sure all the photos have been imported to your Mac, you can then safely remove them from your iPhone. The iPhone user guide has the steps to remove photos from your iPhone, in particular, this section:

    Delete a picture or video from pictures. Click on the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, press on , then press to remove the Photo or video delete. Deleted photos and videos are stored in the album recently deleted on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently deleted from the iPhone. To permanently delete the photo or video before the days expire, tap the item, tap on delete, then remove the Photo or video delete. If you use iCloud photo library, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all your devices using iCloud photo library with the same Apple ID.

  • Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    When my Macbook Pro is on the WiFi and my iPhone 6 s + is on cell phone, I noticed that if I delete the photos within the program of Photos on my Mac they do not get deleted from my iPhone. However, a few hours later when I get home and check my phone, and I'm on Wifi for both devices, the photos have disappeared. Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    Thank you.

    Devices can be on different wifi networks.

    Your question is that the phone will not be synchronized using cellular data and will wait until it connects to a wifi network, but this can be any wifi network.

  • Can't find deleted Photo Album pictures

    Late 2009 iMac OS X El Capitan, can't very well have this deleted photo album.

    When you delete an album has disappeared - you can't 'find' it anywhere - just after deletion it is you "Cancel" (z order) he'll be back - otherwise you must restore a backup where this is or recreate it (deleting of an album does not delete the pictures, just the album) "

  • Update to new IOS - now all the photos from iphoto to my macBook suddenly are also on my iphone5S - how to delete photos on my phone without deleting on the macbook?

    Hello dear, I need your help.

    I did yesterday an update to new IOS - now all the photos from iphoto to my MacBook are suddenly also on my iphone5S - how to delete photos on my phone without deleting on the macbook?

    They are very old photo from my childhood so I definitley them do not need on my phone, but on my MacBook, I want to keep them.

    Thank you very much for your support.

    Check the settings on your iPhone.  Have you enabled iCloud photo library in the settings > iCloud > Photos on your iPhone?  Or "my photo stream?

    If you have iCloud library active on your and your iPhone photos sync iCloud and from there will to all your devices.

    If you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone photos, clear the iCloud photo library, but do not allow to delete photos from iCloud, or they will be removed the Mac as well.  With the removal of your iPhone, wait until all iCloud photo options have been disabled.

  • Recover deleted photos - camera SD card

    I deleted photos of my DSLR Nikon SD card and copies lost during the transition from an old PC to Mac.  The camera shop said that using free software such as https://www.cardrescue.com/ will recover them.  I do not want to download anything which could conflict/damage my Mac and would be grateful if someone could share their knowledge with me.

    I use OS x Yosemite.

    Thank you.  Chris

    I've never used of CardRescue, but currently, it gets good reviews on CNET Download site.  Here are a few alternatives, you can consider:

    (1) If you have questions about the use of CardRescue after reviewing the information on your iMac you get here, you can ask your Apple dealer or a training center for help.

    (2) If you really want to be sure that CardRescue cannot cause you any problem, you can install it on your Mac "spare", try to recover your files with it and then erase CardRescue if you do not want to leave it on the computer.  If you encounter problems after using CardRescue, you can erase the disc of the CMA and reinstall OS X before you reuse this Mac.

    (3) use CardRescue on your Mac only, make a backup of the Mac. Then download and install CardRescue, use CardRescue to try your recovery image file, then do a full your backup restorebefore using your Mac. Although this approach will require a lot of time and effort, it allows you to use CardRescue without leaving any trace of it on your Mac.
