How do I delete photos from my phone but keep them in my Mac?

Hello

I have my phone set up to use iCloud for photo only stream. When in range, I can see the latest pictures in my Mac photo stream. I want to be able to save some of these images immediately in my iPhoto and delete them from my phone. How to achieve this?

That's what I tried:

1. create an album and do drag the photos chosen there.

2 go to remove them.

Result: Images are not created album.

My solution: get BAC "recently deleted".

Result: Photos reappears in the album and are erased from the photo stream

Last step: drag the album in iPhoto events

My approach seems to be too many steps for something that should be simple, and something tells me that even this approach could not accomplish what I intend to do. Please notify. I will appreciate your comments.

Something isn't here...

1. Please all first confirm if the application that you are using on iPhone and Mac's iPhoto or Photos.

2. Please confirm if iCloud library is enabled.

If the applications are Photos and iCPL is enabled, that would explain the behavior you're seeing.

    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.

    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!

If you remove apt on a single device, the deletion will be synchronized to iCloud and from there to all devices.

  • 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,.

    You've synced the iPhone yet? It refreshes the data in iTunes.

    Try pressing sync and see if it changes at all.

    Free space on your iPhone, you must choose Optimize iPhone storage.  Unfortunately, iCloud was not designed in the way you thought and that means, and not as a backup storage.  To do this, you must choose an option of third parties such as Dropbox, Flickr and my personal Photos of Google favorite.  If you use one of these options, you can completely remove the pictures from your phone and free up your storage space.
