Cannot delete photos from camera folder in PC by USB connection

After few times update of iOS, I cannot delete the photos in iPhone 5 from my laptop. I can do it before but not now.
I usually connection my iPhone 5 through USB cable to my laptop.
Just go to My Computer and open iPhone photo album, then select, copy, cut or delete. This is my way to manage my photos.
I have not using iTunes for long time since the iCloud launch.
Please help me on this issue.
Many thanks.

Not only was this design change an extremely bad idea, after updating my phone, it moved all the pics from my camera roll into a photos album that cannot be edited.  I can no longer delete any of these pics from my phone or from the USB connection, except from the camera roll which was added back. Now what??
How am I supposed to get rid of all the pics I don't want? This idiotic change created a big mess for me that there appears to be no way out of...
GIVE US BACK CONTROL OF OUT PHONES, AND STOP SCREWING WITH OUR ABILITY TO DELETE PICS!!!
I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH APPLE NOW!

  • Cannot delete photos from panorama folder

    Even though I have a 5c, I never tried the panorama feature until after upgrading to iOS 8. After taking the panorama, I wasn't pleased with it, and deleted it. The photo was moved to the new "Recently Deleted" folder, but also to the "Panoramas" folder. I know I can't delete the folder, but now I can't delete the panorama from the folder. In fact, since the original photo was "not editable," I created a duplicate in the folder, which I also can't delete. (Both have since been deleted permanently from the "Recently Deleted" folder.) No matter what method I try, I can't delete these photos, and only these two photos.
    Please tell me they're not stuck there forever.

  • Cannot delete photos from  iphone 5 downloaded from pc.  Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

    Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc.  Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos.  Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

    I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows.  Sync is unselected.  It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work.  It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases).  If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

  • How do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

  • Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

    when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

    It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
    But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

  • Cannot delete photos from iPod touch

    I cannot delete photos from my ipod touch. There is no delete button.  help

    Why did Apple program it to function this way?! I synced photos from my computer to my iPod. I threw away my old computer when I bought a Macbook Pro. I want to delete my previously synced photos from my old computer. How can I unsynced the photos now? Can I ask Apple to allow synced photos to be deleted? Can I also ask Apple to allow me to add more photos on my iPod to the album of synced photos?

  • With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

    With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

    If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up.  I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

  • After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

    Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
    I could find an external driver to get photos before.
    and I cannot sync the website bookmarks to my computer.
    What can I do to solve this problem...??
    HELP pls!!

    Try disabling Norton and syning.  If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
    If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.

  • HT204022 how do i delete photos from camera roll after i add them to specific folders ?

    how do i delete photos from camera roll after i add them to specific folders ?

    Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app.  When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

  • HT201317 I deleted photos from camera roll as well as photo streamer. How to recover photos?

    I deleted photos from camera roll as well as photo streamer. How to recover photos?

    If the camera roll photos were on your device when you last backed it up, restoring the backup should recover them.  Deleted photo stream photos can't be recovered unless they were also in the camera roll.

  • HT201302 How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

    How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

    If these are albums, you created on your phone, using pics in your camera roll, you delete the pics from your camera roll & they will be deleted from the albums as well. The albums don't actually contain any photos, only pointers to the actual photos, which are in your camera roll.
    So, the answer to your question is no.

  • Can delete photos from 'Camera roll' but not 'Photo Library'

    Please excuse my ignorance in advance! I needed to delete some photos as I couldn't download any apps or take any more photos until I freed some space (not sure why as according to itunes I have nearly 2GB free). I recently updated iphone software and now have 2 photo albums on my phone. I deleted most of the photos on my camera roll but noticed that the new album 'Photo library' which was created when I updated the software still has all the original photos in it. I went into to it to delete them but for some reason there is no delete icon for any of these photos. Please note these are all photos taken using the iphone itself. I have never synced photos from my computer to my iphone so I can't delete them by syncing with a folder on my PC. I back up the photos by copying them manually using windows.
    I would really appreciate any help as I don't want to run out of space of my iphone again especially if it is due to unnecessary duplication of seemingly undeletable photos!

    You cannot delete photo library pics from the iphone.
    You delete them the same way you got them there in the first place. The sync process.
    Deselect the photo album/folder under the photos tab in itunes, then sync.

  • Cannot email photo from camera roll

    Used to be able to email a photo from camera roll and now cannot.  Any suggestions from you knowledgeable people.  iPad 2 with latest software is what I am using.  Photo posted to Facebook but email screen comes up, photo is there but when I press send it goes no where.  Help, please.

    When I go into my Camera Roll and then into a photo, hit the square with the arrow button, and tap email, a new message opens. Do you have a default email selected under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Account?

  • Cannot copy photos from camera roll to a synch folder

    I cannot copy any photo stored in Camera Roll to folder that synch's with my PC.  > "PC Synch Folder"<    I am using iphone 4s and iPad 3.   Happens to both iDevices.
    On the iDevice the "PC Synch Folder" is greyed out when trying to do a copy.   In fact, I cannot even delete that folder from either iDevices.
    For what it's worth, I can create a new folder on either iDevice and copy from Camera Roll to it.  Fine.  But that folder will not talk to the folder that I want to synch with my PC.  Strange?
    The folder "PC Synch Folder" will indeed sych any picture I put in there from the PC side.   However, what is in there, does not show up in Camera Roll.  What I have in Camera roll cannot be transferred into the "PC Synch Folder"   It's like there is a wall between the folders.
    Hence the problem is ...  pictures taken on either iDevices cannot be transferred back to my PC!   I don't want this !
    This seems most odd.  Have I done something dumb and simple?

    I use Picasa. You don't have to use iTunes at all. Connect the phone with the USB cable and launch the app of your choice, such as Picasa. Click the "Import" button at the upper left. Your iPhone should appear in the dropdown of choices to import from. You can then import all or some of the photos in the Camera Roll. You should be able to do the same thing with Microsoft Picture Manager or any other photo management program.
    The reason that Elements is the only choice is that's the only one that iPhoto on the phone recognizes albums in.
    You cannot move photos INTO the Camera Roll from your computer; it's a one-way transfer. But you can sync photos to the Photos app on the iPhone. You either use Elements, or just create a folder on your computer for photos to sync, then create a sub-folder for each album you want on your computer. Copy the photos to each album, then go to the Photos tab in iTunes and select the top-level folder. When you sync each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
    However, I consider the photo app on the iPhone rather limited and klunky. Instead I use the app MyPics from the app store. It syncs photos from my Picasa Web albums directly to the phone over the air. I can also create albums in Picasa Web from the phone, and upload images from the Camera Roll directly to Picasa Web.
    Another way to get photos (and other files) to and from the phone is Dropbox and similar cloud-based storage solutions.

  • IPhoto won't delete photos from camera after importing. It used to....

    Hello...anybody have any thoughts on this issue? I always check the 'delete after importing' option when connecting camera and importing new photos. Recently, the photos have remained on the camera and I have to delete pictures from my camera manually instead of iPhoto doing this. It seems that after I upgraded to OS X 10.5 I noticed this issue. Needless to say if I forget to delete from the camera, iPhoto wants to import the old photos when I have new pics to import. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    We've seen occasional reports of this with 10.5. Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    That said, experienced users do not recommend letting iPhoto delete the pics from your card. If there has been a problem with the transfer you won't know about it until after the erase is complete. It's a couple of seconds work to reformat the card using your camera.
