iPod Photos Help

[davidwes]

Hi,

I have a brand new iPod that I use in a classroom for photo taking. The photos automatically appear on the classrooms macbook.

I now have no room on my iPod and want to delete some photos. Unfortunately when I do, they also delete off my macbook!

How do I stop that from happening! I have the preference selected on the macbook that says "Download and store originals" but it doesn't seem to be doing so.

You are using iCloud Photo Library? Do you have the optimize storage option selected on the iPod?

iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

• On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
• On your Mac, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.

If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.

If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices
