Q: iphoto on iPad and deleting journals only locally!

Hello,

I love the journal function in iphoto ipad version. (unfortunately iphoto on mac does not support it yet...)

As i already run out of capacity is there a way to delete the photos locally when published to the cloud as journal?

Otherwise i wnt be able to create more journals!

Thanks.

    To delete a Journal from the iPhoto App (on the iPad), go to the main iPhoto Journal page, the one that shows the Journal covers sitting on a shelf.  Tap the 'Edit' button in the upper right corner of the display. Notice the X that appears on the upper left of each Journal cover? Click the X to delete a Journal... You get a pop-up alert that gives you the choice to delete or cancel. Opposite the X, you will find a Ribbon, this allows you to mark a Journal as a Favorite... which puts the Journal on a special shelf.

     

    I hope this helps.

    The question is : can you delete a journal on the device while keeping it on the iCloud server.

     

    The answer is no.

     

    The only way to preseserve a journal is to save it to iTunes and then publish it on your own server.

    Wyodor--Thank you so much for your post. I've been searching for days to find something that makes sense.  In regard to your "How to : http://www.wyodor.net/iPhoto/Journal.html

    post, and I know this is going to sound very elementary to a lot of people, but how do you publish to your own server?  What is a server I could post to? I'm thinking I may be getting "webpage" and "server" mixed up, but what I wanted to do was post my journals to my blog and then be able to delete them from my iPad so I can save them and free up space on the iPad.  Could you please give me an explanation about how I'd get a server and then what the process of copying to the server would be?

    I tried to copy and paste the index.html link to my blog and it will not open (it says something like this is a local file and cannot be opened).  The only way that link works is opening it directly from my laptop. 

    THANK YOU so much for any help!
