Can I delete photos on my new iPad that were synched from my iMac's iTunes?

When I try to delete photos from the iPad the delete button shows the number of photos selected but will not function to delete the selections. Is this normal?

The same way - the sync process.
Select only what you want on the iphone and sync

No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

How do I delete photos on iPad that were copied from another computer or SD card?

If they were synced from a computer then you can't delete them directly in the Photos app on your iPad, you will have to connect your iPad to your computer and use the iPad's Photos tab in your computer's iTunes to change your photo sync selection to exclude them
If the photos were copied onto the iPad from an SD card via the camera connection kit then you should be able to delete them in the Photos app e.g. via the Select button top right if viewing the photos in thumbnail view in Photos.

If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox.
There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

How do I delete photos from ipad that were downloaded from computer during a sync?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

How can I delete photos on my new ipad2

I'm trying to figure out how to delete some photos on my new iPad 2

If the photos were originally synced from your computer then they can only be deleted by removing them from where they were synced from (e.g. the folder on your computer that they are in) and re-syncing.
Photos taken on the iPad, copied via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - when viewed full screen there should be a trash icon in the top right corner; when viewed as thumbnails press the icon in the top right (a box with an arrow coming out of it), touch the ones that you want to delete, and then press the Delete button at the top of the screen.

HT3842 How can i delete a movie on my iPad that never downloaded and when I try to download it it says sorry cant be downloaded at this time,try again later??? I just want t delete it so I can try to start over and watch what I paid for?? any ideas???

I need help deleting a movie on my ipad that says installed but never downloaded. if i try to download it i get a message that says " unable to download .please try again later" Any ideas??? BTW the movie downloaded onto my mac but not my ipad...

oh and this message is also on my iphone 5
now with the phone I do have some options that I dont see with my iPad 3. but I stil do not see a way to delete this dang conversation
I get the same message when I open it from my iphone 5..."there was a problem connecting to facebook" there isnt a problem though
if i swipe left I see standard Friends at top, below it listsclose friends, family, then a help center, account settings, privacy settings, log out, etc. I dug around there for a while but didnt see any option to delete messages.
if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed.

How do i delete a thousand pictures from my ipad that were imported from CF card?

I carried my ipad on trip instead of my laptop, used the ipad to store photos as i filled up my camera's cards. worked well. have copied them all the my HD and an external back-up drive. but, there's seems to be no way to bulk delete all those photos (45GB worth) from the ipad. i tried creating an album, putting all the photos in there and deleting the album... doesn't delete the photos, just to pointers to them for that album. The only way it seems to be able to delete is one picture at a time, and there's over 2800 pics.. I've tried unchecking all the 'synch' folder in Iphoto but that doesn't removed the ones on the ipad that were imported there w/o using Iphoto... i've added and updated a lot of things to my ipad since i took those pics and don't want to do a restore. (which would also mean revert to IOS4) Any suggestions would be most welcome
TIA

How can I load photos on a new iPad for a customer?

Now this is something that I've done before. But iOS has gone through some changes since then, and now I can't remember what to do.
Basically, I have a new iPad which was purchased for a customer. I need to load some photos on the iPad for the customer, then give to to them to do whatever they're going to do with it. Trouble is, I seem to remember being able to do this through iPhoto in the past, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Now it seems you have to go through iTunes, which means setting it up with my iTunes account, which I don't want to do.
So, my question is, what is the best way to load these photos onto the iPad so that when the client sets things up they won't lose the images. Can I just set things up as usual, then manually sign out of my iTunes account on the iPad?

I'd really suggest you not try to do this. An iPad can only be synched to a single computer, so if you sync the iPhotos on your system (and synching has always been done through iTunes), when your customer takes the iPad to his/her own computer and syncs, it will erase the content (i.e. photos) you put on the iPad.
There may be workarounds, but I'd strongly suggest you just let the customer sync the photos him/herself. That's going to be a lot less headache.
Regards.

How do i delete photos from my iPad that were imported from a camera

On a recent vacation, I backed up some 1,100 photos onto my iPad each day. Now that I'm home, I've imported the photos into Aperture (or iPhoto) from the camera and no longer need the photos on the iPad.
I can't find a way to delete them except:
one-by-one. VERY time consuming
importing them into a photo app again, selecting remove photos, then deleting the new redundant photos from the phot app
There must be a better way...

How to delete them from my photos in I Pad?

If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.
