Can't delete photos from iPhone using iPhoto.

I connect my iphone to mac, wait until the photos are syncronized, press delete photos and after a short process nothing happenes. If I connect my iphone later it's written that all photos are syncronized, I press delete photos and again nothing happanes. How to solve this problem?

Use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to do this.
Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

    How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

  • IPhoto can't delete photos from iPhone 6

    Hello Everybody.
    I just wondered why my iPhoto can't delete the photos from my iPhone 6.

    My mac and iPhone 6 is running the latest version of iOS and Yosemite.

    Please advice.
    Best regards.
    Thanks.

    Try restarting your Mac and the phone
    Or give Image Capture (in your applications folder) a try - it can delete photos from your phone too

  • "Over capacity": How can I delete photos from iPhone / set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone regularily goes over capacity because it stores, or tries to store, too many photos/videos from iCloud on the device.
    How can I delete photos from the iPhone (but not generally from iCloud/Photostream). How can set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone? (I am searching for a setting like "keep the last 2GB of photos/videos from iCloud/Photostream, but not more than that. I know how to turn iCloud off in total, but that is not what I would prefer to do, I just would like to set reasonable maximum.)
    Thank you for your ideas!
    Generally, I someone could point me to a good tutorial on how local photos vs. iCloud photos vs. Photostream are supposed to work that would be great as well, because I have many other problem with Apple's system in that regard as well (esp., despite that obviously a lot of space is taken up by photos/videos on my device, my iPhone still downloads recent photos/videos over 3G... I also have the problem that all photos appear double if I try to copy to my Mac with ImageCapture or iPhoto, but there is only a single copy (no HDR, burst or the like) when seen with the Photos.app of the iPhone itself... I came to believe that Apple's photo system is somewhere between counterintuitive and plainly not working... (/rant off) )

    Sorry there are no settings to set max capacity.

  • Can't delete photos from Iphone Photo Stream - Have tried everything Apple has instructed me

    I am soooooooo frustrated.  I just downloaded OS 5 on my Iphone 4 and bought Apple TV - and was introduced to what looked like the wonderful world of "iCloud" and Photostream.  Particularly photo stream on my screen saver on my new Apple TV.   I took numerous shots this weekend, most which I wanted to delete - with my Photo Stream on and all settings set on iCloud - my Iphone, and my PC. 
    For the life of me, I can not delete photos in my Iphone Photostream.  I have done all you said Apple - go to iCloud - and "Reset PhotoStream..."  (actually tried this about 10 times in the last 48 hours - and all I get is...
    “Could Not Reset Your Photo Stream.
    Your Photo Stream could not be reset at this time due to a server error. Try again later…”
    I know I';m not alone on this as I have seen other postings/users with the similar complaint. 
    I have turned on and off - the on - the photostream on my Iphone - yes - it deletes the photos, but then when you turn it back on, they ALL come back - including the unwanted ones.
    I even turned off - then back on- the photo stream on the iCloud DAshboard (because someone said to do it) and it still didn't work.
    Then I plugged my Iphone in to the computer - to go into my Photos - and manually deleted the photos I didn't want. . I did delete them, as well as the unwanted photos in Photostream on my PC, but the freaking unwanted photos are still on my iphone - and wont' go away.  It's like a virus that won't dissapear.  I took pictures of this ugly cow at a pumpkin patch sticking it's tongue out at me, and I can't get rid of them!!!
    We have long been fans/customers of Apple (we own 2 iphones, a Mac, and an IPad). And.. just so you know, in all the time I've been writing this, I've been on "hold" waiting for an Apple Tech support person (3rd call to them in 2 days) to pick up, and all I get now is a ringing phone w no one answering it... Click.
    I read the other VERY frustrated users on this forum and I don't see one clear cut answer on how to fix these problems.  Apple - at least you can recognize the problem, own up to it, and tell us that this will be fixed - which I sure it will be at some point. You have to get this together.
    Steve is gone (god bless his soul and I thank him for all he has done) and my experiences with Apple now have turned horrible.  And if any tech support person (and I know you guys are very nice and try the best you can) knows a thing or three on how to fix this, my case number is 252 894 095 and I would love to fix this issue. I think it has great potential but it clearly has bugs in it now.

    If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad.  But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software.  I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there.  If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

  • HT6378 Can I delete photos from Iphone 6 and still have the photos remain in Icloud?

    I deleted photos from my iphone and photos are also deleted from Icloud. Can I just delete from phone and not icloud?

    With iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled the full sized photos will be stored in iCloud, and on your iPhone you will have smaller sized photos, so you can browse and share them. This save space on your device, and you can access your photos also from the the iCloud web page.    https://www.icloud.com/
    But be aware, that turning on iCloud Photo Library Beta will essentially stop all easy ways to upload photos from a Mac to your iPhone. iTunes Photo sync will no longer work, and you will not be able to stream photos from a Mac to your iPhone with "My Photo Stream". Only "My Photo Stream" from the iPhone to a Mac or other devices will still work.

  • Suddenly can't delete photos from iPhone photo library

    Can't delete individual photos (no trashcan icon or Delete button appears)
    Can't delete entire albums (Edit button appears above album list, but clicking it gives no red "-" icon beside each album name)
    iCloud sync has long been disabled; I sync via USB cable
    Any ideas?
    ~Patrick

    Photos in Photo Library must be removed by unchecking the folder(s) containing the photos on the Photos tab of yor iTunes sync settings and syncing your phone.  (Only Camera Roll photos can be deleted directly from the phone).

  • Can't delete photos from iPhone 5 because their iPhoto library no longer exists

    I have a good deal of photos, on my iPhone 5, that were synced via iPhoto. The problem is, the iPhoto library, they were synched with, no longer exists becuse, the hard drive that held them, crashed. I replaced the hard drive but, of course, when iPhoto is launched, there are no albums to un-select or delete and I'm stuck with not being able to delete them directly from the iPhone.
    Short of erasing the iPhone, is there a way to delete these "lost in limbo" photos?
    Thanks!
    Teddy Alfrey

    sberman,
    Your first suggestion would be a good one; however, I don't have a backup of my iPhoto library. I'm using a MacBook Air with a very small hard drive and stored, nearly, everything on externals. That is, everything but whatever drives my iPhoto library. Since the only thing I use iPhoto for is syncing photos with my iOS devices, I wasn't particularly concerned with backing it up. I wasn't aware that these photos would be impossible to delete, otherwise.
    Moving forward, I will look into externally storing my iPhoto "stuff."
    I find myself wondering why the photos are locked down, to this degree.
    Thanks for responding sberman!

  • Can't import photos from iphone to iphoto

    I have an iphone 5 and so does my wife. We have an iMac with iphoto version 9.5.1. We have imported photos from our phones to iphoto many times without any problems. After we both updated our phones to iOS 8.1 iphoto will not recognize that our phones are connected to the computer. Finder also does not show that our phones are connected. iTunes still opens automatically and sync's with our phones, but I can't get any photos off our phones.
    I have read several posts in the community and nothing has worked so far.
    I do not see how to find my phone, or any other device, in the preferences in iphoto. iphoto does not automatically open any more when we connect our phones to the computer, but the preferences shows that iphoto should open any time a camera device is connected to the computer.
    Any ideas?

    Hi ..
    You can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder to import photos from iOS devices to iPhoto.

  • Can't import photos from iPhone into iPhoto

    If i try to do a batch import, it says there's a problem downloading an image. If I try to import one image, it says the file is in an recognizable format. It's a jpg.
    Any ideas how I can get my photos and videos off my iPhone and why it won't import?

    When googling the error number, the second and last result (your post is the first) on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=946758&page=8 says :
    "Nevermind, I've tried using image capture and preview to import but i keep getting "The operation couldn't be completed.(com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error-9912.)"
    After doing some digging around i found this old (2006) response from the apple threads:
    REFRESH PHONE
    Hold down the power button and the home button until the Apple appears on the screen, then let go.
    REFRESH SYNC HISTORY
    Find iSync under Applications and Open it.
    On the top menu click on iSync and choose Preferences.
    Under the Advanced Section click on Reset Sync History. (It may appear as nothing happened, but something did in the background, the history was reset)
    Go ahead and close iSync and then try importing your photos with iPhoto again
    It worked like a charm"
    Resetting the Sync history on iSync and soft rebooting the iPhone surprisingly did it for me. I'm not sure it's an universal fix and it's quite cumbersome (I forgot I still had an iSync application on the mac).

  • Sync Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    Why I can't sync photos from iPhone to iPhoto? Both iPhoto and Image Capture only read 26 photos (and it cannot be import too) when I have hundreds in the Iphone.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

  • Can't finish importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    I have about 2,000 pictures in my iPhone 4.
    When I try to import my photos from iPhone to iPhoto Library, it stops importing after about 250 photos. Keeps saying 1,489 remaining(something like that) photos and the picture image on your iPhoto stops or freeze there. (Normally you can see what's importing into your iPhoto)
    Tried rebooting the MacPro Tower and iPhone. My computer is up to date.
    I was not sure if I had corrupted photo images, so I deleted bunch of photos around where iPhoto would stall.
    I have no idea what's going on. Could someone please help me?
    Thanks,

    Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files to the Desktop and import from there.
    Regards
    TD

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
    In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

    How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.
