[Magdalen] One more tech question

[Charles Wohlers]

I don't have an iPhone (or even a smartphone, for that matter), but I'm sure 
there are at least two things you can do. First, you can move the photos off 
your phone - copy them to your desktop / laptop / the cloud, and then delete 
them off the phone. Second, you can put a bigger flash memory card into your 
phone. As the saying goes, RTFM.

Flickr has a "camera roll" and "photostream" also. On Flickr, the camera 
roll has copies of all pictures which reside on your computer and are 
visible only to you, while the photostream has pictures which you have 
intentionally uploaded and anyone can see. It may be similar in the iPhone - 
that is, camera roll is everything and photostream is only selected ones.

I frequently get a message on my iPhone 4 saying my storage is nearly full, 
or that there isn't enough storage to allow me to take pictures. So I delete 
a few pictures until I can take more, and I've also deleted a bunch of apps. 
It's only a short-term fix.

But what I'm wondering is why there are two identical collections of 
photos--one labeled "camera roll" and the other "my photo stream." One does 
have a few more pictures than the other, but I'm wondering if it's safe to 
delete one of those collections, and, if so, if there's a way to do it all 
at once, instead of one picture at a time.
One of these days my technical knowledge will make its way into the 20th 
century, but I'm not holding my breath!

OTOH, I can assemble anything where some is required, and I can fix many, 
many household items and even do some car stuff. But when it comes to 
figuring out anything beyond basic tech stuff, well...=
