"Delete Everywhere"....Seriously? I dont want to!!!
iPhone 4: iOS 6.0
OS: Win 7
iTunes: 10.7.0.21
This seemed like a simple idea, even for Apple.
I wanted to take my pictures from the camera roll and place them in folders to keep them organized. Folders were created, no problem and pictures were moved around and situated in the new folders. A relocation and a homecoming all at the same time, if you will. It was a short lived happy moment.
Then I wanted to delete the pictures from the camera roll, but that is the problem. It wants to delete "Everywhere". I don't want it to delete from everywhere (I really don’t), just the camera roll.
I get it. Apple has placed a copy of the photo in the new folder and retained the other.....because it likes two copies???
So I have been reading the ASC's and read several places that once you sync your phone and laptop, that the newly created folders would transfer over to the laptop and you could delete then from the camera roll. That doesn’t happen, might have been helpful, but it didn’t. The new folders on the iPhone, do not show up on the computer. If it does...it’s hiding very well! I'll take the frustration to one more level. The picture folders that "were" on the phone (the old established folders from the computer), are now not on the phone (they are still on the computer, but it looks like during all the new construction they decided to just move out). Just lovely. My favorite miss information form ACS’s is to hit the "green arrow at the top right" on the camera roll/picture. In all the years I have had an iPhone....I have not set eyes on such an elusive green arrow. Those of you promoting the "green arrow"...how about a screen shot so the rest of us can be every with green.....and arrows.
I must have missed a step somewhere......cause that isn’t working and neither is the very, very simple idea of just deleting one picture and not both pictures.
Please help.
If you cant delete it from one, then why have the option to place it somewhere else.....that isn't somewhere else...and is just a "pointer"???
For an option to view the photos placed in the album only.
The same applies to photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process. If you transfer multiple albums or folders, all photos are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the albums or folders transferred from your computer include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder only, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
The same with the Camera Roll and user created albums on the iPhone. You can view photos in a user created album only by selecting the album, or all photos in the Camera Roll by selecting Camera Roll.
This is done with photos transferred from your computer and with photos placed in user created album from the Camera Roll without duplicating the photos as in taking double the storage space. Delete a photo placed in a user created album from the Camera Roll and the photo will no longer be available in the album since the photo is not duplicated. The original is stored in the Camera Roll.
The same applies with iTunes music placed in a playlist. Delete the original from the iTunes library and the song will no longer be available in the playlist.

My question is ,
with the recent calls is the a way to save certain calls without saving them as contacts, and delete the others that i dont need? I am a truck driver and i need only certain calls during the day and if i could delete only the ones that arent needed for the day and keep the others that would make the day run smoother. Each is different and when the day is finished then i would delete the ones i needed for the day and start all over again. Is this possible?I think you would have to reinstall the keys seeing that if you format the computer all the data is gone. Even though you backed up that data you never know what can happen when you try to reinstall certain apps. Not sure what method you can go by, you should run a diagnostics test to see how you computer is doing internally.
Goodluck -
i want to delete old bookmarks i no longer require. since upgrading firefox i no longer have an "Organize Bookmarks" option in the bookmarks menu. Do i have to download an add on or what???????

hey , i go to new measage go to key pad press . and all people i have onced measaged there number comes up / and they are no longer in my contacts
the information that comes up is stored in a cache memory in the phone. The cache is about 2 Mb and is eventually overwritten in time and the information you currently see will go away. The only way to get rid of it now without waiting is to restore the phone as new and not from a backup. This will erase your data and settings. I sugget you just ignore it.

How do I delete a photo in an album on my 4s? When I hit the trash can, it asks if I want to delete everywhere, I do not.
Are you in your albums or your photo Stream?
Sounds like you are in Photo Stream (iCloud.)
Try albums.

I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!
To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them
The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes. -
I have the same photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!
The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

I updated iTunes to 11 and now I am unable to delete anything!! Very annoyed and I hate iTunes updates anymore. It shows a cloud with an arrow for me to download and I dont want to download the items..I already have them! How can I delete this garbage??
I have the same problem. It's showing old podcasts that are available for download and I already watched and I don't want to see them again and I don't want them listed in my iTunes. This latest upgrade is a piece of junk so far. It destroyed my itunes podcast listing on my Windows Machine. I have no intentions of upgrading to iOS7 or my Mac until I hear that things are fixed.
