How to remove photos from a photo stream on the iPhone, but keep them on Mac?

Hello world

I tried to find the answer to my question in the FAQ, but so far I've failed. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me.

I have an iPhone (5s) and a MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015). I have not activated the iCloud photo library, but I use the photo gallery on both devices. Because I often take pictures with my phone, I'm running out of memory space on my phone.

In regards to this and photo stream feature, I have several questions:

1. If I want to make more room on my iPhone, I have to delete some pictures. Assuming that I do this, these pictures are deleted from my Mac after 30 days?

2. How can I remove photos from my iPhone without deleting them from my Mac (because I turned on the feature of photo stream)?

3. If I import the photos from my iPhone in the Photos App on my Mac (when it is connected to my Mac with a USB cable), they are 'safe '?

I hope that my questions are understandable and I would appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks to all and best wishes,

Lars

1. no - as long as you have allowed MyPhotoStream to import photos - if they have not been imported yet then they will be gone

2. after importation of pictures you can delete them from the iPhone, and they will remain in Photos of the moments / pictures

3 - Yes - but if you import several times, you will have duplicates - you should use USB or PHM import

    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.

    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!

  • Playlist from iTunes will sync to the iPhone, but not all songs present themselves

    I recently synced my iPhone to my computer for the first time.  I have a number of playlists on my phone, and a combination of music ripped from my CDs and music downloaded from the iTunes Store.

    After synchronization, all the playlists and the music seems fine on my computer.  But now on my iPhone my playlists are absent songs!  All the playlists are there, missing just the songs.  And it looks like strangely the songs I downloaded from the iTunes store are those missing.

    Back on my computer, iTunes displays playlists normally, with all the songs.  So, essentially the playlists on my iTunes on my computer are distinguished by the playlists on my iPhone.

    All the downloaded songs are on my iPhone.  I can find the songs individually and play them fine.  They are just in the playlists.

    Any ideas?

    maybe try to download songs directly from the iTunes store on your iOS device?

    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.
