Delete Photo Album

OK first, I search the forum and haven't found a solution that works.
I wanted to organize my photos so I plugged in my iphone and created folders in iphoto. I then synced the folders in itunes. When I open my photos on my iphone. I have my "Camera Roll", my folders I synced, but also a "Photo Library". The photo library is basically all the pics from my synced folders in one. Does anyone know how to delete the photo library? Why would I want it organized if it's just gonna create a big folder full of duplicates?

The photos are not duplicated. All photos transferred to your iPhone are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the albums include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Just as photos placed in an iPhoto album in iPhoto on your Mac are not duplicated, the same applies on your iPhone. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos in all albums or all photos transferred to your iPhone by selecting Photo Library.
This is no different with music placed in an iTunes playlist, and contacts placed in an Address Book Group with the Address Book on your Mac. Music in a playlist and contacts in an Address Book Group are not duplicated.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

If you are in the thumbnail view, tap on the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and then tap on the photo or photos that you want to delete, then tap on delete in the upper left part of the screen.

  • HT204022 how do i delete photo albums from an ipad?

    how do i delete photo albums from an ipad? (Not Photo Stream)

    Hi,
    If you have created album with iPad say in Photos App then simply hit the edit button and an X will appear in the top left corner of the album icon and you simply tap this to delet. It does not delete the photos, just the album.
    Recetly this stopped working for me and I had to do a complete shut down, not just a quick sleep, and when restarted iPad it was working again.
    If you created the album in say iPhoto or Aperture and synched it to iPa via iTunes then you need to delete it in iPhoto/Aperture or remove it from synch list in itunes to keep on Mac but remove from iPad.
