Can't remove a photo album from my phone

When I switched from Android to my iPhone 4S, I somehow ended up with a photo album called "Android pics" on the iPhone that contains photos that had previously existed on my Galaxy.  I want to remove them from my phone.  I can select the individual images, but there is no "Delete" like there is in the Camera Roll or Photo Stream.  If I select "Edit" from the Albums page, the Camera Roll and Photo Streams gray out but I still can't select on the Android folder.  What have I done and how on earth do I go about removing that album?

Connect the phone to your computer. Click on its name in iTunes, then click the Photos tab (on the right). Uncheck the folder containing the photos, then click Sync or Apply, whichever shows at the bottom of the screen.

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

  • I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?  I go to the photo app, then albums and 2 show up, I tap edit and nothing happens...  I just want to delete these...

    How did they get on the iPad ? Only albums created directly on the iPad can be deleted via the Edit button.
    Albums/photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync, or you might be able to delete all synced photos/albums by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button, but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • I can only download 1 photo album from my computer to the ipad, if I download a second one, it deletes and replaces the first one. How can I fix this?

    I can only download one photo album from my PC to the Ipad, if I try  to download a second album, it deletes the first. Why???

    Put all of your albums into one main photos album that you can sync from. You can only select one main folder of photos to sync to the iPad. If you direct iTunes to sync from a different folder the next time that you sync, the first album/folder will be deleted. You have to include all photos with each sync every time that you sync.
    So create one main folder for photos and place all of your sub folders into that main photos folder, then when yo sync with iTunes, you can select that main photos folder as the "Sync Photos From" folder in the iTunes photos tab and you can select each of the subfolders within that main folder to sync as well.
    But you can only select one level of subfolders to sync. You cannot sync a folder within a folder within the main folder - one level of sub folders only.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Select the main photos folder in the Sync Photos From drop down menu
    Click on/select all of the albums or sub folders within that main folder that you want to sync.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • How can I move my photo albums from mini ipad to Apple Mac.  I don't want photo roll

    How can I move my photo albums from mini ipad to Apple Mac.  I don't want photo roll

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    iPhoto for IOS and for the Mac share only a name at this time - not a data structure - unfortunately you can not currently do what you want even though it makes a lot of sense

  • How to transfer an entire photo album from my phone to my computer?

    how to transfer an entire photo album from my phone to my computer?

    If you're refering to anything other than the camera roll, you don't. Photo sync is one way. The photos in the camera roll are the only ones you can export to your computer. Everything else (except for Photo Stream, which comes from the cloud) had to come from your computer to begin with and should still be there.

    Connect the iPhone to the computer with iTunes running, select the iPhone in the device pane, select the Photo tab in iTunes, deselect the checkmark for the photos that you want to remove and perform a sync.
    Photos that have been synced from the computer can only be removed by the sync process.
