Can't delete photos from iTunes synch on phone

Is this a normal thing on an iPhone 4S that I cannot find the bin icon to delete photos or photo folder that was synched from my laptop? I have to delete the folder from iTunes and then synch the phone again. I keep looking for the bin icon on each photo or on the folder on the phone but I cannot find it. I went to edit and couldn't find any delete function.

Photos synced to iphone from your computer are deleted the same way - the sync process.
The iphone simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  It does not act as a storage device.

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

    Delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Deselectg the album in itunes and sync.
    Photo Album contains ALL synced photos and you can also view those exact same photos, not duplicates, from the albums.

  • How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    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.

  • I can't delete photos from my ipad

    I Can't delete photos from my iPad it's like the delete key is not active Does anyone know how to fix this

    I can't seem to delete ANY photos or videos from my iPad NO MATTER what I try. And they take up 4.9GB!!! There is NO WAY in **** I have that many phgotos or videos on my iPad -- when I actually go to look at the photos/videos tere are maybe 100 photos and maybe ten videos. How can that take up FIVE GB of space????
    And when I go to General>Usage>Photos and Cameras my Camera Roll, Photo Library and Photo Booth are all greyed out. I can't do ANYTHING with them.
    I have no idea what's going on. I go onto my laptop and open iTunes with the iPad connected -- no hekp at all. I just want to REMOVE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS -- such as theye are, and I STILL can't believe there are almost 5GB's worth of them -- without going through all these insane hoops!!!
    There should just be a simple delete button! But when I do anything in iTunes to "restore" my iPad it warns me that I migfht have to PURCHASE ALL THE APPS I HAVE AGAIN!
    This is so Windows-like I can scarcely believe it's coming from Apple. I've been to a dozen "help' pages BUT NONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SIMPLE ANSWER -- HOW DO I ERASE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM MY IPAD??????????????

  • Why I can't delete photo from my ipad

    I can't delete photo from my ipad

    Synced photos cannot be deleted on the iPad. Only photos taken with the iPad and transferred with the Camera Connection Kit can be deleted.
    You need to delete the photos in iTunes and sync again.

  • I can't delete photos from my Ipad I have tried already removing and changing folders in photos app

    I can't delete photos from my Ipad I have tried already removing and changing folders in photos app

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

  • 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.

    If the photos came from computer, you have to de-select on computer then do a sync to delete photos from iPhone.

  • "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.

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

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

    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!

  • Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

    I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!
