[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1920351, member: 204485"] Ah, now I get it. Let me explain what I do. I have My Photo Stream switched on in Preferences on all my devices. This means all my devices have access to the same photos. If I take a photo on my iPhone or iPad it appears on all of my devices, including my computer. If I delete it on my computer it goes to the Deleted folder in Photos on my computer but, not on my iPhone or my iPad. Same deal for the iPhone/iPad. If I delete a photo on my iPhone it goes into Deleted on my iPhone, not my computer or iPad. Note: All photos in Deleted folders on each device are permanently deleted after 30 days. When Syncing your iPhone to your computer the data in your iPhone is replaced by the info on your computer. So be selective about what is synced in the photos sync preferences. eg. I just sync Favourites. These days you hardly need to sync photos by USB and many people don't. You can however set the Photos app to launch when you connect your iPhone for bulk downloading but I find it's better just to rely on My Photo Stream. The method I'm guessing you are using was fine before the introduction of iCloud Photos Library and My Photo Stream but now is almost redundant and only causes confusion. [/QUOTE]
