photos of maintenance on iCloud, but not on iPhone

I always run out of storage on my iPhone so I got a macbook air to store photos and do other things.  But, recently I downloaded pictures from my camera to my computer, then to my iPhone.  Then, I don't have enough storage so I deleted about 1 100 photos from my iPhone to make room for pictures of the importers, thinking that I would have them again on my computer (due to iCloud).  But I ended up losing the 1 100 photos completely.  So my question is, how do I delete photos from my iPhone without deleting the photos from my iCloud account and my macbook at all times?  Thank you.

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.

In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.

    I want to download pictures of each on my iMac iCloud account, but then not upload to each other iCloud.

    Is this possible?  I managed to stop the iMac Photos to upload on iCloud, but I don't see how to set up the iMac to download from each people iCloud account.

    Thank you for reading

    What iCloud service do you use for this?  iCloud photo library?  iCloud drive?  My photo stream?

    on Photos for Mac synchronization with iCloud goes two ways. If you enable iCloud Photo library or my photo stream on your Mac, download photos from your Mac to iCloud photo library and upload new photos to my stream of photos and other devices that use this service.

    If you want to only download to your Mac, use the web interface to access iCloud photo library from the Web browser and do not allow any iCloud photo library on your Mac.

    Open the web Page www.icloud.com and sign one of your iCloud Apple ID.  Then launch the Photos.app on this web page.  Now open the album pictures and click "Select". Select all the pictures, and then click Download.

    To select all photos click on the first picture of the beach, hold down the shift button, scroll to the last picture and select it.

  • MobileMe will not let me that post us because that seems to me not having the correct password which I thought to be the same pw for iCloud, but not so much.  How can I me Mail online?

    Product name: MobileMe

    Computer: iMac system 10.7.5 Lion

    Story: My drive hard Snow Leopard is dead, but have an external drive on which I have installed Lion, then Mail began requiring a MobileMe password that I do not have.  MobileMe won't let me use Mail because I do not have the correct password which I thought to be the same pw for iCloud, but not so.  How can I me Mail online?

    MobileMe was discontinued on June 30, 2012.  There is no more MobileMe e-mail.  Go to the preferences panel accounts Mail and remove any MobileMe account which is there.  That should get rid of these messages.

  • iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.

    iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.  Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

    Apps are tied to apple id and password that was used to download/purchase it.

    Try your old password and see if you can update or not.

  • How can I removed the photos/videos to the iPad, but not delete icloud drive?  Need free space on the device, but can't.

    My iPad has a lot of videos/pictures on local memory.  I disappear off the coast because I see that they are in my photo database and iCloud drive.  When I try to delete them it asks it will remove them from all devices.  I just have to remove them from the iPad.  Ideas?

    Thank you!

    You cannot delete without delete icloud, unless you turn off and away the iCloud synchronization.

  • HP PSC Photosmart 2410 - Photo printing ok on normal, but not on paper photo paper?

    Hello

    Can you help me?  I recently tried to print photos on photo paper (that I have not had problems with before), but the printing result is that colors and therefore the photos are fine for the first third of the photo book but then became pink and blue stripes.  I would have thought it was toner related but print the same photos on normal quality paper and the photo is good.

    Before I throw the current toner can anyone comment?

    Thank you

    It seems that you are low on the yellow ink.  When printing in ink mode to photo mode is used more quickly and that the cartridge is low it may not able to cope with the demand.  Plain paper using ink at a more leisurely pace and a photo can be printed correctly in plain paper mode.  A new cartridge should solve your problem.

  • How do I delete photo files in the 'Gallery', but not under "Camera"?

    I noticed that all the folders in the gallery are my Picasa account online, so I deleted everything on PIcasa and removed from the cache of the Droid. Unfortunately, when I restarted my phone and clicked on the Gallery, the albums are back. It took a while, but all reappeared.  Is it possible that I can delete all albums of my phone?  Thanks for all your help.

    First, make sure that you have removed the shape of Picasa photos.  If they were deleted, then all you need to do is ensure that your synchronization (on the power widget is two arrows forming a circle) is turned on.  Should not be necessary to do anything else... It should be done in 10 minutes.

  • How do two users share a computer (music, photos) in a single library but have separate iPhones (applications, contacts, etc.)

    I've hunted around so apologies if the answer is already pluse...

    My wife and I have an iPhone each. We have our own applications, contacts, e-mail, reminders, calendars (a little shared via iCloud for family stuff). We have a Mac. We want to be able to share a unique music library (caps to synchronize the different slopes for different phones) and a unique photo library. Until recently, I did this by moving the two libraries on a partition separate without permissions etc. I could connect to a user account for me and access, then log off and log in as my wife and access. Do not change fast and really I'm only using my wife log in as a place to save his iPhone, app, contacts data backups, etc. This is already in the iCloud.

    However, with the new application Photos it seems that you can share is no longer a single library between two users. I get permission errors every time that I load it. I connect both my wife, get the error, run 'repair permissions', then it opens. I go back to my account and now I can't open it, have once again to 'fix' etc.

    So the questions:

    1. is it possible to still share a unique between two accounts photo library, so that we can each backup / synchronize phones separately?

    2 - is the best way to do it? Historically, I guess I need two accounts on my mac to keep our separate data, but is it possible to have two iPhones sync for the same account, but keep things like contacts, separate application data, etc.?

    Thank you

    Gareth

    1. is it possible to still share a unique between two accounts photo library, so that we can each backup / synchronize phones separately?

    Yes. The way to deliver two users share the same Photos and iTunes without permissions library library (but only one user can access the library at the same time) is to put the library on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown in this screenshot and directly connected to the Mac via the USB cable Firewire, or Thunderbolt.

    Each would have its own account on the Mac so keep separate e-mail, contacts, etc.  Fast user switching can be configured, so it's easy to quickly switch between accounts.

    But when you are finished with the library each user must leave Photos if the library is available for the other user.
