Can't delete photos in the "Collections" or delete the "Hidden" album?

There were multiple screenshots i took a while ago that i had previously uploaded to my computer and deleted off my phone before i got the ios8 update. After the update all those pictures now appear in my "Collections" and i'm not able to delete them. So instead i chose the "Hide" option but now they went into an album labeled "Hide" on my phone which i can't delete either. I don't understand why it's not allowing me to delete these photos.

To delete a photo that's in a smart album you need to use the CommandOptionDelete key combination to move it to the trash. If you just want to remove the photo from the album you will need to change on that photo the feature that the smart album is set to look for.
Happy Holidays

  • What is the new thing you can do with photos with the new 5.1 update ???  Can you delete from your photo library directly from the phone ?

    What exactly is the new thing you can do with photos with the new 5.1 update ??  Can I now delete photos from photo library directly on the phone itself??

    I don't think so.  It's an apple mouse that and under the setup menu it's referred to as a Bluetooth mouse

  • How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an album in ipad?

    How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

    If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
    You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

  • I copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE

    Ι copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE. I don't have the choice to delete it only from the main album.

    You mean you copied photos from your camera roll to a new album, correct? Well, that's the way it works. The photos wern't actually copied to your new album, just pointers to the actual photos, which are still in your camera roll. So, yes, if you delete from your camera roll, you remove them from your phone.

  • I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

    I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

    The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device.  This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on.  Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
    To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore.  Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another.  Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    King Penguin,
    Your response does not address the actual question.
    The issue is that once downloaded to a device (iPhone) etc. It cannot be deleted via any means. Went through troubleshooting with Apple on phone last night and they're puzzled by it... it's getting sent to their engineers.
    The larger issue is that the album downloads AUTOMATICALLY when you have your purchases synced, on wifi, and listening to music on full shuffle.
    Telling people to just "hide it" and change your phone's settings to not sync is a pretty big "whoopsie" by Apple and Apple Support Community members.
    BAD MOVE APPLE!

  • Is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wante

    is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
    Any ideas please.  I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
    Many thanks Jaz Eilles

    Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it.  Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos.  So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
    So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

  • I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged.   How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?

    I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged.   How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?

    Well, thanks for feeling with me, patkosanke ... AND for your wise advice.
    I did followed your advice immediately and erased all the service number as well as S/Ns.
    Can you, however, give me any "direct number" through which I can get hold of someone and request for what you're suggesting?
    I believe I had talked with the person by the name of "Charlie" (I think... I hope I'm correct...) when I was having the same problem with the last device. He was very kind and helpful, though I ended up getting the device that brought the same problem.
    Charlie told me that if I had any more problems I should call him. But I forgot to take down his direct number.
    Or maybe I should call the main office and ask for him. But my memory is questionable as to his name, and besides I don't even know his last name either. There could be more than one "Charlies" in Palm.
    So, if you could somehow email me some direct number (other than the one that keeps on hooking me up with those people in the overseas who are answering the phone only to sympathize with & apologize to me but can only issue a false hope with the SRO#. More than once I was given the promise that the supervisor would call me back within an hour or two but I ended up calling back after I had been left hanging in the air all night long.) where I can talk to someone like I did with Charlie last time who can truly carry out the promise, I would truly appreciate it, patkosanke. ^^
    Thanks

    No. They are part of your purchase history whether hidden or not.

  • How do I hide the "hidden" Album on my iPad

    Previously in iPhoto on my Mac I would use the 'hide' function to stop pictures being sent to my iOS devices, it also meant I could keep collections of photos complete but still edit the content to make it more concise, duplicate/similar pictures would be hidden.
    Any content in that was hidden would not sync to iOS.
    Now I find the "hidden" album is not only visible, but sits very prominently on the second row of the albums view and is a hotch potch of random images.
    Also any "hidden" images are very much visible on iOS within their albums and the all photo view.
    How do I hide this album again in iOS?

  • 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??
