[Belle24Seven]

yayyayya thank-you!

[Suzan4B]

I cannot THANK you "ENOUGH!!!" Why wouldn't Apple TELL us in their many books(which I bought) or to their help staff() I spoke to a really good Supervisor tech who actually "enabled" iCloud on my Mac. I was already guided into setting it up and "it" wasn't at all! I LOST every precious photo I ever had on the phone!!

BTW,there's another step besides "Reset". If you "don't disable Photo Stream on the Mac also,the Reset won't remove pics from the mac. How can I ever thank you enough?

[docrock808]

@Suzan4B I really appreciate your kind words. This is why I make these videos. Aloha and Mahalo.

[Suzan4B]

@docrock808 YOU literally saved my butt and butts of others!! I'm eternally grateful ad will stay tuned. Ur excellent and generous to help with this!

[Zodqueen]

thanks man real help but when yu do that your photo will be there but first u need to general then photos then delete photostream real help :D

[kevjulie2]

I found a better way I think?

GO to settings > iCloud >Photo Stream > then turn the slider off. You will get a warning that all photo stream photos will be deleted from your iPhone! Just switch it off, then on again and they will all be gone!

[docrock808]

@kevjulie2 That works but only if you have one device. If you have multiple devices like iPhone, iPad and Apple TV... the other devices will sync them back to the PhotoStream.

[eminemis11]

@kevjulie2 aww thanks man :D

[A11864]

One word ! THANKSS!

[aassxxaa1]

thanks man

[SirBoogieNight]

You da MAN!

[111alexg]

excellent video quality and explanation thank you very much . the only thing missing was turning off photo stream from icloud on the iphone. Thanks

[RobertPoundMagician]

you neglected in the clip from what i saw to also tell everyone they had to turn share on and off on the devices for them all to disappear, i think that is the reason some say it didn't work.

Thank you for this though, as it enable me to work the last bit out

[docrock808]

@RobertPoundMagician In the longer version I explained that.That's why i alos linked the longer version. Most people only have 1 or 2 devices so it just works. In my case I have 8 devices so yeah i discovered that really quickly you need to turn it off on all the devices. Thanks

[kmlgaard]

thanks for vid bro...... u helped alot

[KingQTR999]

thanx that helped me a lot !!

[sapitpit]

I agree, bit**ing online usually doesn't do anything. Thanks for the info here. :)

[RMushtaq521]

The pictures are still on my iPhoto! PLEASE help me :(

[02narutoshippuden]

I found an easier way go to setting iCloud then photo stream then turn it off and it will tell you of you that turning it off will delete photo stream pictures click yes and done

IT WILL NOT DELETE YOUR camera roll

THUMBS THIS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE I DID THIS ON MY IPHONE 3GS

[AnaBowLover24]

nvm and thank you soo much for making this video I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!

[AnaBowLover24]

I just want to see if I understand this. If I delete all my photos on PhotoStream the album gets empty. However, will my pictures from the CameraRoll that were also on PhotoStream get deleted?

[docrock808]

@AnaBowLover24 I know you figured it out but I'll say just in case someone else reads this. Camera Roll and Photostream are separate so your camera roll photos will be ok. Thanks

[AnaBowLover24]

@docrock808 Thank you soo much for the helpful video, and for the great reply! I really appreciate it!

[DuNVenancio]

Thank you!!!

[LamGoHam]

Like if you watched this to delete your X-Rated photos.

[TheCRHS11]

[davelee0742]

[Kallekringla3]

[MarioTransformer7001]

[mfgokillyerself]

Thanks this helped a lot!

[joshsage]

Thank you!!

[HereComesTheBride1]

Great video. Thanks a lot!

[Mikenopolis]

@docrock808 thanks! question. if you reset photostream, all the pictures gets taken off of the devices [photostream] box, but will all the photos currently on your iPhone camera roll get pushed back up into the cloud?

[docrock808]

@Mikenopolis Yeah they are totally separate. Good Luck.

[robs912]

Thanks for this vid mate, worked perfectly for me!

[Ze1Bear1]

I done exactly what you said, i didn't get any error messages but the pictures are all still on my ipod.. does doing what you describe remove pictures from idevices or is my ipod just angry at me??

[docrock808]

@Ze1Bear1 That means you have photos in iPhoto or Aperture in photostream or you forgot to turn off one of the devices

[theperfectionist]

thanks man

[davepalmer5]

that dont work

[docrock808]

@davepalmer5 What "don't" work nearly 13K people got it to work If you look at the long version I go step by step so you can see the before and after. You prolly missed a step somewhere.

[emiljan2281]

how about windwos?

[docrock808]

@emiljan2281 same steps just use safari for windows or chrome. the icloud control panel is in your windows control panel. everything same as mac

[steveski74]

@emiljan2281 what do you mean "how about windows"? This is a website, goto Internet Explorer and browse to icloud.com and do exactly what the guy shows in the video.

[zx1986]

Thanks! I hate that design!

[LucassSilveira]

thanks

[daolegunit]

bitchin' to each other, nothing happens! well said

[noah061]

My computer also gives me the error message when I tried to delete the photos from iCloud.com. What do I do?

[docrock808]

@noah061 The secret to the Server errors is try Safari or Chrome for windows. Something weird in IE and Firefox makes it time out prematurely

[kwabiNEXAS]

the photo stream just made it more troublesome

[Agit023]

thanks man i quickly deleted

[TheRaneri]

Every time I click on reset photo stream it says there's a connection error. It's been doing this for a couple days. Do u have any advice to how I could fix this? Thanks!

[docrock808]

@TheRaneri The secret to the Server errors is try Safari or Chrome for windows. Something weird in IE and Firefox makes it time out prematurely

[MrJontje]

it doesn't work :s

[docrock808]

@MrJontje If it didn't work for you it mean somewhere you missed a step. Click the link in the video to the more detailed version and try follow that way.

[PSNLIVE2]

@MrJontje you have to turn off photo stream on your ipod or ipad.

[89524]

thank you it really helps!, suscribed, liked the video!

[thehubbucks]

Nice, thanks!

[FEROCIOUZ]

Thanks guys.. That was easy.. Appreciate the help!

[ifotube]

This specific implementation of iCloud is perhaps the most difficult to understand. As noted, PhotoStream is foremost a method of moving photos you take with an Apple mobile device, to other Apple devices. During the move, they are temporarily stored and displayed within iCloud, but then disappear after 30 days or when 1,000 photos have been exceeded. Knowing this may help understand how "delete" works.

[docrock808]

@ifotube I glad to know somebody else read the instructions. I was hope this would stop the unnecessary whining i was hearing on the blogs and forums

[docrock808]

On your Mac, you can clear cached photos from the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this in each application by visiting Preferences > Photo Stream.

[docrock808]

cont'd If you had Automatic Import enabled in your Photo Stream settings, your Photo Stream photos were also imported to your iPhoto or Aperture Library, and will remain after you disable Photo Stream. If you would like to delete any of these photos from your library, you can to do so manually any time you like.

[FEROCIOUZ]

Mine are not deleting for some reason.. I did this a few minutes ago and its not working for me.. Im out of luck.. Lol

[dvgowner1]

@FEROCIOUZ do what he says then on you iDevice got to settings> iCloud and turn off photo stream off and back on. :)

[docrock808]

@FEROCIOUZ After resetting your Photo Stream, you can also remove any photos that have been downloaded to your device or computers:

On your iOS device, you can remove photos from the Photo Stream view by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this at Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.

If you added any Photo Stream photos to other albums or the Camera Roll on your iOS device, you can locate and delete these photos manually, if desired.
