    How to remove photos from my iphone6s after their importation?

    Hello KConstant,

    I understand that you're looking to remove photos from your iPhone, after you import the to your Mac. It depends largely on how the images are imported into your Mac.

    If you use iCloud photo library, remove photos from your iPhone, after they have synched to the Photos on your Mac afterwards would remove these photos on your Mac as well, like iCloud photo library is designed to synchronize your iPhone with iCloud and Mac.

    However, if you are importing photos via the USB port of the Photos app, you should be prompted to delete pictures from your device once the import is complete:

    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.

    You can also (it not allowed you iCloud photo library on your iPhone), you can use the image capture on your Mac app to delete images from your iPhone.

  • How to remove photos from my library?

    How to remove photos from my library?

    Hi Alan

    Sincerely, I apologize for the delay.  Try this:

    After that you be connected to www.adoberevel.com, switch to the view of "Photos & vidéos" (not the display of Albums).

    Then click on the Select"" button.  When you do so, you can select one or more photos.

    After selecting the pictures you want to remove, see that there is a button 'Delete' in the menu.

    Some additional tips:

    To select a group of photos, click the first photo you want to delete, and then press and hold the SHIFT key when you click the last picture you want to delete, and all in between these photos will be selected.

    Make sure that you are using the "Photos & videos", because if 'Delete you' images to Albums, you're only to remove them from your album and not really delete your photo library.

    If you move from your Explorer or finder in a given folder, you will not lose them and they will disappear from your desktop.

    If you want to use the Organizer to keep track of your photos in the catalog, use the Organizer, not the Explorer / finder to move them to another folder on the desktop.

  • Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • How to remove photos from my iPhone 6 s, without deleting icloud photo library on all my devices with ios 9.2.1?

    I just updated my iPhone 6s ios 9.2.1 and whenever I try to remove photos from the iPhone library, it is said that they will remove the iCloud photo library on all devices. I don't want to do, I want to save the photos on my computer, but free up space on my phone. Help!

    If you have iCloud library enabled in the iPhone then any photo that you delete from your phone is also removed to iCloud and all devices connected to this library to iCloud. It is not a setting or an option where you can change this while continuing to use iCloud photo library. You can reduce the space required on the phone by activating the settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage. You can suggest that Apple offers more options via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

  • 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

  • How to remove photos from the iPhone SE

    July 2016

    Computer: iMac running OSX 10.11.5 El Capitan

    Phone: iPhone SE

    Buy the new iphone SE.  All properly transferred from old phone, via iCloud, but the new phone memory is almost full, and I need to remove about 300 photos.

    I plugged the phone on my Mac with the USB cable.  The phone does NOT appear as a disk in the Finder, as said the seller of phone.

    I was able to import all the photos to the Mac with picture Capture and preview, so the pictures are safe, but neither app shows a way to remove photos from the phone.

    'Image Capture help' and several items of third say there are buttons on the bottom of the screen to Capture of Image for "show thumbnails in a list (list view button) or to see large thumbnails (thumbnail view button), or to turn (rotation) or delete (delete key) images."

    NOT TRUE.

    The other buttons appear, but not the button 'delete '.

    I used an extract for years, and it does not remove images.

    So how to delete photos from my iPhone SE?  Do I have to look at all the pictures of 300 and delete each individually?

    You can delete several photos at the same time on the iPhone.

  • How to remove photos from sd card w/Win8

    I have a Kodak Easyshare camera with an sd card. Although I am able to upload photos with my laptop that came pre-installed with Windows 8 (I HATE WINDOWS 8!), there is no option to remove the pictures from the sd card after downloading. EasyShare software was an option to remove photos from the camera after uploading, however, Kodak has stopped (removed from their site) Easyshare software for downloads, then of course, there is no version of Windows 8, I could download. I have now about 150 photos stored on the sd card in my camera and without option of win8 remove them after downloading, I soon max on the map due to the number of photos I take regularly. In the rush of windows to force this win8 * on users, they have left out many options that should have been included and I am their discovery by a more I use win8 which only increases my extreme dislike for her. How to remove these pictures from my sd card through win8 without having to go out and by an another piece of equipment?

    Oh really?  Where is he?

    Jane,

    Jim has provided information that applies to Windows Vista. For Windows 8, it does not work like that. Import via the App Photos Windows does not offer this type of control.

    If you go into Control Panel, AutoPlay and select camera memory card, you can change the default to ask me every time. Or open in the file Explorer. File Explorer allows you to manually COPY images, MOVING pictures, or remove the right of the map.

    You can try to ask every time for a while. You can let it import, and then reconnect the camera and delete until you find a process with which you are comfortable.

  • How to remove photos from my computer to my Iphone 6.

    Hello I have imported digital SLR photos to my computer then to my iPhone 6, photos are able to be consulted, but the delete option is not there.

    I connected my phone to my pc to try and remove them through the MY COMPUTER tab, but the only pictures that appear are those who is on my CAMERA ROLL.

    Hi mulatto5o,

    I understand that you have synchronized the photos on your iPhone, and now you want to remove them. I know it's important to have control over your data, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

    When the photos are synced from your computer to your iPhone, you must use iTunes to delete again. To do this, follow the same steps you did to synchronize, but uncheck the option Synchronize the Photos :

    12 iTunes for Windows: Add photos to iPod, iPhone or iPad

    Remove photos from your iPhone

    1. Connect your device to your computer.

    2. Click on the button of the device, and then click pictures.

    3. Uncheck "synchronize photos from".

    4. Click on apply

    If these photos are no longer on your computer, or if these steps do not work for you, try the steps here:

    Delete pictures and videos synced from iTunes when you can not access the originals - Apple Support

    2. On the Photos tab in iTunes, click on the box next to "Sync Photos since.
    3. In the dropdown next to "Sync Photos From" menu, choose the folder that you created in step 1.
    4. Apply the change.

  • How to remove Photos from the iPhone/iPad/iCloud and no pictures

    How to take a photo with my iPhone/iPad, allow it to synchronize with Photos on my Mac via iCoud, then delete from my iPhone/iPad/iCloud and removes any Photos on Mac? I want to save the photo on your computer and save space on small devices?

    I keep seeing articles on the iCloud market turn but it seems the photos all return on the devices once restarted. I want to iCloud on use as a conduit to get the photos to my computer, not as a large storage space. I want the Photos app on my Mac where all the photos are filled and stored and choose those which is left each device.

    Right now they are all in the pictures on the Mac, but I'm worried if I remove it from my iPhone/iPad that they will disappear from Photos on the Mac. I don't understand the new Photos app with all the missing features of iPhoto.

    Thank you!

    You can not that's not how works iCloud photo library - it is not a conduit but a total synchronization service whose entire raison d'etre is to keep libraries connected identical - all changes made on any device (addition, deletion or modification) are made on all devices. For devices with limited memory, using optimized photos

    If this isn't what you want then use another service - USB import, iTunes sync, MyPhotoStream for example each do different things and everyone can move photos from one device to another

    And Photos lack a lot of features iPhoto form - in fact much more features than iPhoto including iCloud library there like a bigger and better editing capability and better external editing capability and so on
