How to delete photos stored in macbook air any of iPhone

I am on my Macbook Air storage as whenever I backed up my iPhone, I also chose to "import" all the new photos in the iPhone.

I think this is redundant with as backup iTune keeps pictures of the iPhone (from thousands of them since 2007)!

Now my question is: How can I safely delete all photos imported from the iPhone and keep the rest that I took with a digital camera? It removes the original photos in iPhone too next time think I synchronize?

Thank you all.

We need the details - what version of the operating system, IOS and iPhoto and how you import you MBA?

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

    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.

    How to delete photos in "My pictures", without reproducing again and again... as hundreds of each photo?

    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can

    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.

    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

  • How to use the library of small Photos on the MacBook Air

    I'm running out of space on my MacBook Air, and I prefer to store all my original photo in iCloud. How to keep the photo library on my Mac to the size of the strict minimum. Thank you.

    Are you already using iCloud photo library or you want to turn your photo into a photo library of iCloud library?

    To save storage on your Mac, select iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud. also turn on "Optimize Mac Storage" in this Panel.

    Photos will replace originals in your library of optimized versions. But this process is dynamic. If you are short on storage, it will replace original more optimized versions. So, it will take some time, until your photo library becomes smaller. You cannot influence this process.

    A way to shrink the photo library immediately, is radical enough: wait until the first download of your photos is complete and all the pictures are on iCloud.  Make a current backup of your photo library by copying to an external drive.

    Then delete the photo library on your internal drive. Launch photos while holding down the key options and create a new empty library. This library in your system photo library and activate iCloud photo library with optimization of the storage.

    Now, all your photos will download as optimized versions and the library will be much smaller from the start.  However, it has some drawbacks.  Thumbnails of faces will be lost, also all of your projects. It will be like using your iCloud library another computer: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

    I want to free up the memory on my macbook air and have 65 GB of movies hogging the space. I don't want to lose them forever if you want to know how I can free up memory and again back to the film at some point in the future.

    If they were purchased through iTunes, you can download again them at any time.

    However, there is no way to stream movies, so you have to download the entire file again for a movie.

    Open iTunes > iTunes Store > purchased (on the right side of the window) > movies.

    Make sure that the sort is set to "Not in my library" If you try to redownload something that has been removed from the computer.

    It cannot be used for photos or iphoto without causing problems... It is now and for always the silent hard disk.

  • How can I improve memory on macbook air?

    Hello community

    Please excuse me because I am not so computer clued like many of you here.

    I have a macbook air.  I'll try and give you as much information to help:

    1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD 5000 1536 MB graphics card

    OS X El Captain 10.11.1

    Storage said 121 GB Flash storage-46, 64 GB free.

    I don't really use it for much.  The only things still running are safari, flow, Dr. cleaning and simple antnotes. I emptied the Recycle Bin. I have only a few pages of documents registered there.  But the thing I use it for movies at home with my baby on iMovie 10.1.  I have 30 minutes worth of film for my class there, and that's all.  But I can't even export that - he says that there is not enough storage.

    Is there anything I should do?  I am really stuck and can not believe that this computer is "full".

    Help, please!

    Kiki
