Best way to remove photos from iPhone camera roll

what is the simplest method for removing a LOT of photos from my iPhone 5S camera roll. I am trying not to remove them one at a time.

So, I am a bit confused.  But, thank you for being succinct.  I appreciate that very much!
1.  I have imported them to Aperture; so they are on my iMac.
2. What I do not exactly understand is your next instruction: "your computer should read your iphone as a camera, you can navigate to the folders that contain the picture in your camera roll and select all and delete."
Could you walk me through that, please?  Just a tiny bit more explaining, and I think I will catch on!
Many thanks!

  • Delete imported photos from iPhone camera roll?

    In iPhoto, after importing photos from my iPhone I would get a prompt to delete the photos that had just been imported from the camera roll. Since the Photo Stream was implemented though, most photos would have already been imported through iCloud before I connected the phone to my Mac. iPhoto would then give an option to remove all photos that had already been imported.
    The new Photos app no longer appears to have this option. I can tick to delete items after import, but I can't automatically remove all items in the camera roll that have already been imported. If I go and manually delete those photos from the camera roll on the phone, it also deletes them from the Photo Stream, and they disappear on my Mac and iPad as well.
    I'm not subscribed to iCloud Photo Library. How can I make sure that all my photos continue to import onto my Mac and stay there, without keeping all the originals on the phone forever?

    Yes... a real surprise (not a pleasant one)
    Only workaround I know of (and have used already in testing and getting setup) is to use the Image Capture app in your main Applications folder (a standard OS X utility).
    After you've imported your pictures manually from your iPhone to Photos, you can run this app and then delete what you will.
    I imagine the reason for this is that PhotoStream should be taking care of this. You don't need to have the iCloud Library turned on for this to work, and photos should import automatically.
    However, there are three issues with this:
    Buggy: I found (at least prior to iOS 8.3) that not all of my photos on my iPhone went to the Photo Stream... never did find out why some didn't make it.
    Buggy again: Many people are having issues with the latest releases getting Photo Stream to sync from an iPhone
    You don't want your photos in Apple's domain.
    In which case, using another app to mass delete your photos on your iPhone is (for now), your only choice.
    Let Apple know if you want: http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  • Best Way to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac

    Okay, here's my situation.
    I installed Snow Leopard and the installation window told me I had to change my volume scheme. Not knowing why the button to allow me to do this was grayed out, I called Apple. The woman I talked to had me boot from the Snow Leopard disc and perform that action. It worked, but what she had be do seemed to delete my hard drive. Because what did say "Macintosh HD" now said "Untitled 1".
    I finished the installation and came to find out that hard drive files were gone.
    Of course Apple can't be blamed, because I should've had my computer backed up. (Ehh. I'm still very angry though..)
    Anyways, I found a nice program to transfer the music from my iPhone to my Mac, but not one single reliable to one to transfer photos.
    HELP! I really need to get these photos (amount: 2,000+) on my computer so I can sync it.

    I assume these photos are NOT in your camera roll, correct?
    If that's the case:

    Of course you realize that the photos you synced to your phone were "optimized" for viewing on the iphone & thus were reduced in size.

  • Best way to upload photos from iPhone 3GS?

    I have an iPhone 3GS. I just took a bunch of photos on vacation. Now I would like to upload them to my Windows XP PC. I know I can send them via email one at a time, but I'd like a way to send them all at once. I do have a Dropbox account. I tried to download the Dropbox app, but it says it requires iOS 7. I tried to download iOS 7, but was told it can't run on the 3GS.
    Is there a way that I can send all of the photos on my iPhone to my PC all at once?
    Thanks

    You don't need any App. Attach your iPhone to a USB port on your computer and follow the instructions here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • Best way to remove scratches from iPhone 6?

    I'm one picky bugger. I had to return my iPhone 6 and get a replacement from the store and unfortunately, there's a small scratch on the screen. I've been there 2 times and it's 1 hour away...and I think everyone will think I'm absolutely bonkers to want to replace the entire phone due to a scratch that you can only see if the light shines on the phone a certain way lol.
    Anyway, I'm looking for any solution to fixing a really small glass scratch on my phone. I've seen some reports of optical cloths but I can't seem to find any place that has 'em.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brandon Q.

    How can I move Whatsapp or google photos from the camera roll to a different folder
    The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
    Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • How is the best way to remove something from a photo?

    How is the best way to remove something from a photo?

    This is difficult to answer without fully knowing what you are trying to do.
    That said, a few excellent and user friendly retouching tools include:  The Spot Heealing Brush Tool, Healing Brush Tool, Patch Tool, and the Cloning Stamp Tool.

  • I accidentally deleted some photos from my camera roll on my iPhone. Is there a way to recover them?

    I accidentally deleted some photos from my camera roll on my iPhone. Is there a way to recover them?

    Also to add to what Ana said, if you've been importing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 to your computer as you would a digital camera.  Then you can sync http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 them back to your phone using iTunes.

  • How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

    I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
    I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
    I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

    You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll.  That is where they live.  When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
    If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone. 
    Photos in albums are not in two places.  They are in only one place, the camera roll.  The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
    You should be importing these pics to your computer.  I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

  • Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

    My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll.  After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

    "Why doesn't Apple fix this ?  "
    Because it is not broken.  it works exactly as intended.
    "If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
    Apple has it figured out.  That is what is on the iphone.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.
