Hello,

My 16GB iPhone is running out of memory. I have transferred photos from my iPhone to my Mac with iPhoto to save storage space. But, the Mac automatically syncs with the iPhone.

How can I prevent certain pictures from syncing?

Its either all the photos or you choose which ones manually. I think their is a setting a preferences to turn of auto syncing. I know their is one in iTunes. I don't own an apple pc.
 
You can first of all try the facebook syncing prevention method mentioned below

secondly

you can try the trick mentioned here

Just change what you want to sync on the Photos tab under the device in iTunes. If you select "All photos, albums, events and faces" then that's what will get synced. If you click "Selected Albums...", you will get options to choose what you want to sync.

Ok, thanks for the replies.

Actually, is it possible to have the iPhone photos sync to the Mac, then delete them on the iPhone BUT keep them on the Mac?
