I am able to remove a photo from my iPhone, but keep it in iCloud?

I recently started using iCloud to save photos and videos of my iPhone to help in freeing up space.  I then went to remove pictures/videos from my iPhone and I get a pop up message saying that the photos/videos all so deleted my iCloud storage.  Maybe I'm wrong understand using iCloud, but this seems pretty stupid to me.

Is it possible that I can remove a photo from my iPhone, but there were always stored in my iCloud account?

Thank you

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.

    I want to keep all my photos in iCloud. I want to remove some of them from my iPhone 4 (IOS 8) in order to free up space on my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks for help.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

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

    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.

    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.

    Do not delete any photo you want on any of your devices, if you use iCloud photo library.  To win the storage on your iPhone select "optimize storage. Then the photos on your iPhone will be reduced in the size of the file, but you need an internet connection if you want to see the full versions.

    If you want less photos on your iPhone to your Mac, do not use iCloud photo library.  Select only 'My Photo Stream' transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac or use a USB connection. My photo stream is more economic, in any case, because it's free. iCloud library uses the iCloud paid storage and only 5 GB are free. If your photos need more storage, you will need a paid subscription.

    See these support pages: iCloud Photo library FAQ

    and: iCloud: get help using my photo stream

    If you want to turn off iCloud photo library, be sure to disable 'optimize storage"before do you. Wait for the full versions to download again to iCloud.

  • I am able to view the photos from the iPhone through finder

    I'm trying to view and edit photos from my iPhone via Finder.  Is this possible?

    When I plug in my iPhone I can't import photos using Photos, but for whatever reason my mac does not recognize it as a device so I can't edit them through Finder.  My concern is that if I import them through the Photos he's cluttering my HD for some reason duplicates all photos imported.

    "for whatever reason, my mac does not recognize it as a device so I can't edit them through Finder".

    Laughing out loud

    iPhone runs on the iOS platform.

    Mac works on OS X.

    Two different operating systems.

    Another solution would be to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac using the image transfer application located in your Applications folder.

  • Cannot remove the Photos from the iPhone 6

    Hello!

    Because of work commitments, I've been taking pictures to work with my phone over two or three years, but I no longer have that weight on my shoulders and I would like to get rid of 250-300 photos still on the phone but I seem to not be able to. None of these pictures, and their albums are still on my laptop; my main digital hub, so I can't do anything to this end (or can I?)

    Whenever I find a professional album full of unwanted pictures, I select all but then it gives me the option of shipping them OR copy, duplicate, slide show or hide them. I want to do any of these actions. I want to just remove. Sometimes there is just a trash can at the bottom of the screen, but I can't select it. Apple just likes to taunt me, I guess.

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Brian

    You synchronize these photos from a computer to your phone, or have they taken on the phone itself? If they have been synchronized, try a new sync from the computer to the phone with no selected photos.

  • 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.
