Depends - to get help you have to provide details as we can not see you


What version of iPhoto are you using? Is OS X 10.8.4 as you state correct for your OS? are you using MyPHotoStream? If so do you have iPhoto set to automatically import MyPHotoStream photos?


and note that Apple is not here - this is strictly a user to user assistance forum

Ok - that changes everything but still details are critical


What are your setting for iCloud in the Mac System Preferences and in the Photos preferences and on each IOS device


As a wild guess with no details it sounds like you may have iCloud Photo Library set and if you do then you library is on iCloud and any changes you make on any device including additions, deletions and edits is reflected on all devices as documented - if you are using ICPL then the solution is to check the Optimize photos on devices with limited storage
