iPhone photo advise

Gustov · 27 Sep 2014 at 21:10

Hey guys,

I wanna move all my iPhone photos on to my Macbook (they are already on it) and delete them from my phone as they take up so much space.

Is there a faster way to do this than deleting them one by one on my phone?

Thanks!

Connect the iPhone to the Macbook/PC and delete them by opening the phone storage?

If they're all on the macbook, plug your phone in and deselect the photo albums you don't want to sync. Once done hit sync and it will remove them from the device whilst updating the settings.

Urgh - this didn't work guys.

I basically went into iPhoto and made an album of just the pictures I want on my phone.

From there, I opened iTunes and ticked that folder and clicked sync. All it has done has put those images on my phone in a seperate folder but the other pictures are still under 'moments'

any help please?

Can help if your using OS X, can't help if your using windows.
In OS X, connect your phone to your machine and open Image Capture.
Select all the images and use this to make a backup in a folder somewhere, then you can delete them from the phone using image capture.
Finally, add all of the photo's into iPhoto (either as 1 album or multiple) and sync with iCloud - they should now appear on your phone (full res stored in the cloud, low res stored locally).

.. or well, it worked for me the other day purely on accident when an album I have on iphoto suddenly popped up on my phone

-edit-
Obviously, last step is optional.
