How can I remove photos from the iPhone but save on iCloud/desktop mac?
I have an iPhone 6 and I'm constantly short of room because of my photos. When I go to delete a picture from my pictures it says "this photo will be deleted from iCloud photo library on all your devices" and I have NO IDEA how to disable this dang thing. So when I delete a photo that it clears too my computer then I constantly tries to free up space on my phone in other respects.
I wish I could take a picture, saved it on my computer and iCloud and then remove it from my phone without losing. Any ideas? Thank you!
You can go to settings > Photos & camera on your phone and do the following:
1. turn off iCloud photo library
2 turn on my photo stream
Then on your Mac, you can open pictures and under preferences, perform the following steps:
1. on the general tab, make sure that "Copy items to the photo library" is checked
2. by virtue of iCloud, make sure 'My Photo Stream' is checked (you can also have shared Photo also controlled flow)
This should cause all photos of photo stream to be shared between devices as well as to import into your photo library.
See you soon,.

How to remove photos from the iPhone after import in Lightroom on Mac
I went back to Lightroom after opening was abandoned by Apple and I'm happy to be back. I can easily import photos from my iPhone 6 on my desk, but what to do with the pictures on my phone. With opening could easily automatically delete photos from the iPhone. I don't see anything similar in Lightroom. Do I have to remove my photos manually by selecting one at a time? I don't want to delete the folders that I created.
I'm not stored on the cloud or automatically sending my photos in Lightroom.
Thank you
This function no longer exists in LR as Adobe says that it was originally people loose photos, accidentally I think, so it must be done manually. To be honest I never used no deletion automatic, I want to import and check all is well before any withdrawals!

You have iCloud library enabled, as well on your iPhone and your Mac? Then you sync the library on your Mac and your iPhone in iCloud. all photos are stored in iCloud, make you adjustments will synchronize to iCloud, and then the changes will be synchronized to all devices, so your photo library will look exactly the same on all devices.

How do you delete photos from an iPhone but keep them on a mac
I want to delete some photos from my iPhone 6 but keep them on my MacBook - how can I do this?
Hey Jill,.
This should be possible as long as you do not use icloud photo library.
With iCloud, photo library, your devices are giving you access to your library, which is stored directly in iCloud. Therefore, when you delete a photo of iCloud photo library on any device, it removes from everywhere.
When you turn off the iCloud photo library, each device is its own independent photo library. You must manually import pictures from your phone to your MacBook, then you could remove your phone at will.
If you wish to continue using iCloud photo library, but also want to save space on your phone, consider turning on Optimize iPhone storage in the section Photos to your phone settings iCloud!

How can I remove photos from my iPhone that were already imported pictures?
Hi all
The camera on my iPhone now has 2000 + photos on it which have already been imported. photos (not iPhoto). At least I am sure that I imported the. Photos knows that they have been imported, but I see no easy way to just delete the photos that have already been imported. What should do?
I ran a test, import of some of them and by checking the box "delete after importing", and it was successfully deleted photos off the phone. BUT each of the imports is now duplicated in my photo library. What a drag! I don't want to have to go manually by the bias of 2000 + photos, manually remove duplicates when Photos already know that they were already imported at first.
In iPhoto, you can plug in your phone, import your photos but not the remove immediately after the import, and the next time you connect your phone, iPhoto would say "XX pictures have already been imported. You want to remove them? "It's ideal for cautious people who wanted to verify that the photos had successfully transferred before deleting.
Any help? Is there something that I am missing in Photos?
Thank you. -Josh
You can selectively remove from your phone with the Image Capture (in the Applications folder).

When can I remove photos from the iPhone by making sure they are saved in the cloud?
When I can I free up space on my iPhone 6, deletion of photos/videos, ensure that they are saved in the cloud?
When I buy more space on the cloud, it is to iCloud, iCloud Drive, iCloud photo library?
Too confusing...iCloud is a synchronization service, not off of storage of the unit. That means that it is not designed to "free space" on your phone by moving your photos and videos to iCloud. All photos will remain synchronized between your phone and iCloud.
You can select the feature to OPTIMIZE, significantly reduce the space that take your photos on your phone.
When you upgrade your iCloud space, it's for all features in iCloud, as backup space, iCloud disk space and so on.
If you really want the maximum space on your phone, you can import your pictures and videos on a PC and then delete them from your phone. It does use icloud photo library.

How can I remove photos from the iCloud without deleting them on my macbook
I try to delete pictures off my iCloud, but leave them on my macbook? I deleted them on my iPhone, which is synchronized with the cloud, and they immediately disappeared from my macbook.
If you synchronize the photo library on your Mac and your iPhone with iCloud, the two libraries will be always the same.
Create a second library of Photos on your MacBook, that is not synchronized with iCloud. This library allows to keep the photos, you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone.

How to remove pictures of the iphone but not on icloud?
Hello, I have an iphone 6 and I have a backup to icloud. I need to free up space on my iphone, I noticed when I delete a photo on my phone its disappear automatically icloud. Is there a way to remove photos from the phone, but keep about icloud?
Thank you!
iCloud Libray Photo is not a backup service; It is a synchronization service. Whatever you do a device is synchronized with all other devices, including your computer and iCloud. That's how it was designed to work.
If you are running out of storage space on your device, choose to use a local library optimized photos. This will dynamically adjust the size of the library based on how much storage is available.
Otherwise, you will need to disable iCPL and return to the management of your image sync via iTunes.
