How do i delete all my pictures from iphone

I need to delete photos from iPhone 5.  Need to delete them ALL as I need space on the phone and I don't want to individually click 1000+ pix. They are already backed up to Dropbox. There appears to be no way to do this. Any suggestions (other than switching to android, which may be next for me)?

If following all of the instructions in the support document that I provided you did not help you in getting the iPhone to be recognized in iTunes, then you will need to remove and reinstall iTunes per this support document. Follow the instructions exactly, or it will just cause more problems. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
However, do not do the removal if you have not followed ALL of the instructions in the previous document. Most get hung up around step 5, but that is usually the most important one to resolve this issue.
As far as doing anything with the photos, you can delete the contents of the DCIM folder and that will delete the photos. In the future, check the configuration of your photo import utility in Windows. You can chose to delete the photos after importing them, so you don't end up with so many on the phone to deal with. You do have the ability to delete photos on the phone itself, just not so large a group as you indicate. It is set up for a lot smaller list of housecleaning.

  • How do I delete all calendar entries from iPhone 3G S

    My iPhone calendar is out of sync with Outlook (2007, connected to an Exchange server). There are appointments no longer in Outlook that are still on the iPhone, and appointments with the wrong time on the iPhone. SO I want to remove all the calendar entries from the iPhone and then redownload everything from Outlook.
    So how do I delete all the calendar items from the iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from Outlook or messing with my Outlook profile?

    Thanks, Allan. Actually, I prefer to sync my calendar via iTunes because I refresh Outlook and sync via iTunes much more frequently than I fire up VPN to get directly to exchange. But I did use your tip the other way - I turn ON Exchange Calendars to blow away my current iPhone content, then turned it back off to delete the Exchange content. That left me with an empty iPhone calendar that I could then load via iTunes sync.

  • HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

    Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

    Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!

    How do I delete all my information from the I-Cloud?

    Greetings austinfromdellslow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to store your purchases movies on an external hard drive. To do this, first you will need to download your purchased content from the cloud to the iTunes library on your computer. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Once your media folder is complete with the downloaded content, you can move that iTunes media folder to your external hard drive using the information in the attached article below. 
    Move your iTunes Media folder on a Windows PC - Apple Support

    How do I delete all my photos from my phone using my phone?

    Photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct from the iPhone. These photos are removed from your iPhone the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted direct from the iPhone. With the Camera Roll selected, select the icon at the top right. Select the photos you want to delete followed by selecting the Red delete button at the bottom right.

  • How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

  • How do I delete all the contacts from my iPhone 3?

    How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

    If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.

  • How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1?

    How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1?  I have a full system backup version from about one month before the switch , and mistakenly thought the new iPhoto would default to all my pictues as they were.  I also have backups made in Time Machine.

    Have you tried what's shown here?  I suspect this will solve your issue.
