Since I'm using the cloud, can I delete pictures/albums on my iPhone but allow them to stay on my iPad and computer?
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.5
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, if you want to do that you should copy them from photo stream to your camera roll before deleting anything from photo stream.
I don't meant my camera roll or my photo stream. I lots of old photos and albums that are saved. I want them to stay on my iPad and computer but i don't need them on my phone or saved in the cloud. How do I do that?
When you say saved, they could be saved in different ways, which one do you mean.
Are they saved in Albums created from the camera roll, are they saved in shared streams or are they synced from your computer via iTunes.
I think all of the above, but for sure synced from my computer via iTunes.
For those synced from iTunes, you will need to uncheck them in the iTunes sync settings for the iPad.
For those saved to albums from your camera roll, those are specific to that device, they may be on other devices via photo stream and if so they won't be deleted from other devices by deleting them from the camera roll on the phone. However if they aren't on other devices, they are your only copies, so be sure you want to delete them.
If they are in photo stream, if you delete them, they will be deleted everywhere, if you turn photo stream off on the phone instead, they won't get deleted everywhere but you won't be able to share new photos you take on your phone.
If they are in a shared stream, if you delete them, they will be deleted everywhere, if you turn shared streams off on the phone instead, they won't get deleted everywhere but you won't be able to share new photos you take on your phone via shared streams.
