Clear your photos off your iPhone

We have come across this issue and figured this might help others. If you have taken too many photos on your phone with your built-in iPhone Camera and want to clear them off your phone this fix will free up space and save time when plugging your phone in when syncing.

1. Plug in your iPhone to your Mac with your USB Cable.


2. Open up your Applications folder and in there is an Application called "Image Capture", open up that Application and you will notice your iPhone appears in the Application itself.


3. Here you will have a choice to Download your Photos but before you do so click the Options button in the lower left hand corner.

4. Once your in the Options Tab make sure you choose "Delete items from camera after downloading" then click "OK" to return to the Previous Screen


5. Then Click on the "Download To:" pulldown and choose "Other" and create a folder on your Desktop. This is where all your pictures are going to be downloaded prior to being deleted from your Phone.


6. You then notice back in the window that you have an option to "Download Some" or "Download All". This choice is up to you but if your trying to clean things up choose "Download All"


7. After eveything downloads its finished! Now when you go back into your Phone your "Camera Roll" should be empty.

8. Remember that all those pictures are still in the folder you specified in case you don't have them already in iPhoto. You can then drag them over to iPhoto if you want so nothing should be lost.


Enjoy!
