Can't find photos on iPad to delete!

I wanted to get rid of a bunch of photos on my iPad. I deleted all my photos from Camera Roll, Photo Stream, and turned off iCloud for photos. The only photos I have synced with the iPad are some from one folder on my computer, which has 800 images and is less than 1GB (same as is synced on my phone, and the phone looks OK).
I restarted the iPad and synced it with iTunes, but as you can see below, there is still 16GB of photos! I tried to connect my iPad to iPhoto to maybe delete them from there, but the images never show up... all iPhotos says is "loading...."
How can I get rid of these photos on my iPad? How can I find them?
[Also, that "Other" category is pretty big. I have seen a bunch of comments on how to make it smaller. However, I've yet to find a workable solution.]

I had an album on my iPad that didn't have a delete option. I was able to finally remove everything by connecting the iPad to iTunes and going to the Photos tab. Select sync photos. It will ask you if you want to replace all photo on iPad with sync photos. Apply the setting and then un-sync photo again. It will then remove all photos on iPad starting with a clean slate.
Be sure to backup all your photos before doing this. Hope that helps.

  • Can't find photos after uploading and deleting from camera

    Uploaded photos from samsung camera and Asked if I wanted to delete photos off camera afterwards which I did.  Photos nowhere to be seen ANYWHERE on the Mac! Help! VIP pics!

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    Do the photos show in "last import"?

  • Can't find photo's when trying to sync ipad to itunes

    can't find photo's when sycing ipad to itunes

    I also am having problems.  I have the newest ipad (4 and mini both) and also all software is up to date.  My itunes is 11.0.5 which is the most up to date version.  First off my ipad has over 7 GB of photos on it which is taking up too much space.  I want to delete my Photo Library which is apparently all photos off my laptop that got synced to my ipad.  The ipad itself will not allow a delete option in this Photo Library.  Additionally the new version of itunes does NOT have a Photo tab or option to click or otherwise which photos to sync.  It's as if photos through itunes was removed in their new software version.  Anyway...... I can not delete or remove from my ipads the photos that came from my main computer.... the only photos able to be deleted are those that I actually took from my ipad.  This is also true for my husbands iPhone 5....   Please help   Thank you

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • Can I find photos from an entire event that were just loaded but seem to have disappeared?

    Larry,
    I have a Mac Book Pro  2.53 GHz  Mid 2009
    Using OS X lion 10.75
    I don't know what version of iphoto....just what was originally installed but I use an external storage drive for my photos and use time machine for back up.
    I loaded the photos Friday night- thought they went into an event, deleted photos from my camera (dumb, I know) then in the morning a grey box with event date shows palm tree and sunset image but no photos.

  • I created movie using iMovies on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Transferred movie to iPad in iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. where should I look?

    I created movie using iMovie on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Then sent to iPad using iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. Where should I look? When iPad is connected to iMac it shows it to be in movies. When I look under iTunes movies on iPad I get movies I can rent or buy. when I look under videos I get a blank screen

    Are you looking in the Videos app? iMovie on the iPad? The Photos App? I don't use iMovie but those are the three places where you should look.

  • Can not copy photo to Ipad

    I can not copy photo to Ipad. Itunes appear meesage "Some of your photos, including the photo “SAM_0100.JPG”, were not copied to the iPad “Sunrise Tan’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad." Can anyone help?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • ITunes can't find photos to share on apple tv

    iTunes can't find photos to share on Apple TV when photos were moved from iPhoto to the new Photos

    Thanks for the suggestion Limnos but you're right that's not the answer...
    iTunes Match allows 25,000 songs so I don't think apple see 20,000 as outside the design parameters.
    Anyway I'll wait in hope that someone can offer a solution to the path that Finder uses for each different connection as that's where the answer lies, that or a way to change the path of the server in iTuens, but all the forums I have looked at suggest you can't do that?

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • Can't find photo error?

    When i try to drag a photo or edit it. They all say "Can't find photo "xxxxxjpg" original cannot be found.
    my options are to cancel or look for it. neither works.
    any suggestions.

    Jerry:
    Is this the warning you're getting? If so then it means that you using iPhoto in the alias mode, i.e. not copying the photos into the library folder upon import?
    Check iPhoto's advanced preference section and see if it looks like this. If not, then the library just creates alias files pointing to the original's location at the time of import. If that location was the camera and you've subsequently erased the camera you've lost your photos.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
