How do I delete photos from my photo library and a album that has come from iTunes

I have sync photos from a folder, which I then decided I didn't want as I found them in my camera roll, now I want to delete the folder and the pics that are in pic library but for reason it's taking them off when I un click the folder then re sync they are still on my phone!

  • How do I Delete Photo Library and Albums on iphone 5

    Someone please help me!!! I've been all over trying to get help.  My photos are safely on my PC.  I was able to delete all the photos on the Camera Roll only.  I need to delete all albums including PHOTO LIBRARY which has over 3000 photos.  I don't want any photos on my phone.
    Does Apple prevent this so you will have to buy more storage?  You should be able to delete an album.

    Connect the phone to your computer, click on the iPhone name in iTunes, click on the Photos tab. Check Seleted folders. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone, then click Sync.

  • How do I delete photos in my iPad 2 that were transfered during iTunes sync with my Windows PC?

    by mistake I've syncronized lots of photos from my Windows PC to my iPad 2 during the first connection thru iTunes. Now I can not delete those phtos because the DELETE button, which appears in RED, doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? Tks,

    No such problem when doing so with my iPhone or iPad. This is not normal, so something is wrong.
    The only thing I can suggest is restoring your iPad with iTunes. You can try restoring from your iPad's backup first - photos transferred from your computer aren't included with the backup but settings are. Have Sync Photos under the Photos tab deselected before selecting Restore.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

    How do I delete apps from itunes so they never download again?

    If you have the left-hand sidebar showing click Apps under Library, if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then click Done at the top right of the screen to go back to your library and then select Apps via the selection button top left.
    You will now be able to permanently delete apps from itunes - Select app - right click - delete - send to recycle bin

  • How can I delete photos in the "Edited" album in the iPhoto app on my iPad??

    How can I delete photos in the "Edited" folder in the iPhoto App on my iPad?

    What a pain...you must go through all that to remove it?! So many unessary steps!
    I also find that when I sync up a new photo folder to replace the old set that I previously wiped out and replaced it staggers afew pictures from before in with the new and will not show all of the new....so frustrating!!!  I even close out iPhoto and go into the photo album and all the photos that synced up which are the ones I do want are all there....it's so different than what I see the album in iPhoto.  Why Apple WHY??

  • How do I delete photo library on my phone

    My memory is getting sucked up because of my photo library. And finally discovered where pictures went that I just took but not going into my camera roll. I saw a suggestion via Google and deleted my photo library AND everything else but the camera roll. I did back up everything before I did, too. But then I was blocked from adding any of my picture files until I allowed the photo library back onto my phone. And then it's back to sucking up my memory. I just got my 32GB iPhone 5 and cannot afford to get the 64GB one. But that would be wasted if all my pictures go into this sunflower box! And you cannot delete any picture, never mind the file. Please help! I don't have a lot of apps, but I've had to delete them to take a picture or shoot a short video. It's that bad!

    I went to second link. On my laptop, from sync photos from, my only choice is pictures. I do not have either of the folders the second link mentions. On my list on my laptop (Windows Vista), I was hoping Photo Stream was the same as the Photo Library as it has the same sunflower button. All this did was ADD photo stream onto my phone. But I was able to delete it. So I say again, I really want this tab/app off my phone and I cannot seem to be able to get it off of it.

  • How do I delete apps from iTunes that I no longer want?

    Hello.  I have some apps that I purchased from the App Store and transferred to my iPad.  Having now tried all the apps, there are some I wish to delete. How can I delete them from the apps section of iTunes?

    Thank you very much.  All is now well.

    How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule?
    Disk Utility would be used for an internal hard drive on your Mac, or for a drive that was attached directly using USB or FireWire.
    The Time Capsule is a network drive. Disk Utility cannot be used for this type of drive.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab below the icon
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take a minute or so. This would be fine if you plan to keep the Time Capsule yourself.
    If you plan to sell the Time Capsule, you would want to use a more secure erase, like "Zero Out", which will likely take 4-6 hours or so since everything on the drive will be replaced with zeros.
