Delete photo problem on ipad1

My old iPad  suddenly will not delete photos. I no longer have a trash can to delete individual photos. When I go to the select photos method there is a red delete button but the writing is gray and the selected photos do not delete when I click on the delete button. I need to delete some photos on my old iPad and do not know how to do it now. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks so much for your time and for listening.

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with deleting photos from your iPhone.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Photos app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Additionally, if the the photos were synced to your iPhone from a computer, you will need to resync to delete the photos:
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

  • How do you delete photos from an ipad1?

    I have a number of photos on my iPad which I want to delete but can't see any way of doing it. I can select them and shar them and put them in a folder etc, but not get rid of them !!!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • Problems deleting photos

    Has anyone had the same problem I have, deleting photos downloaded to my iPad? I mark them and then press the delete icon and nothing happens.....

    No problem for me. Pressing the trash icon brings up the Delete option key. Pressing that then immediately deletes the picture. You can't delete photos in the Photo Library from the iPad. You can only do that from a desktop running iTunes.

  • Help? Problem with deleting photos from I-photo?

    I have created some New Event trash folders to drag all my deleted photos from the trash bin as advised. I had thousands of deleted photos to deal with. Now the problem is that the bin looks empty but it still indicates that there are over 7000 photos left in it. I cannot see those items so I cannot drag them out. Should  I start reloading the trash bin (small amounts at a time!!) when there is still an amount in it??? How do I get rid of the remaining items? Should I just go and do a repair or rebuilding now?? Please help! Thanks!

    Should I just go and do a repair or rebuilding now?
    Yes.

  • Problems deleting photos in i9

    while editing and deleting photos in the library, I found that I could not delete any more photos. the photos stayed in the library but also were in trash. After numerous tries, they would not delete. In previous deletes, one time there were NO photos in Trash, when i know i had just sent photos INTO trash. Now i have tried to export some photos and iphoto froze on me.
    any suggestions from the experts...a corrupt library. How can it have gotten corrupt when I have never done anything with it except for upgrades (but haven't had any problems) for since iPhoto9

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

    I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

    PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

  • Problem regaining memory space after deleting photos

    While on vacation, I copied 9 mb photos, in iPhoto albums, from a family member's Mac to my iPad 2 . Once back home, I deleted the albums and photos using my own computer.
    Even though the photos are now gone, my iPad still shows that I have 9 mb of photos.  So, even though the photos are not showing up on my iPad, the disk space is still reserved for the deleted photos.  How do I get it to give me the disk space back?  I no longer have access to the other Mac (that uploaded the photos).
    It was difficult to delete those photos as there were several thousand in a variety of folders.  I ended up syncing to my own iPhoto which had very few photos. That did remove the albums & photos, but did not give back the 9 mb of memory they resided in.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Not related ... but may be related ...  Here's my problems:
    Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
    But weird things happened after syncing.
    (1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
    (2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
    Anyone know what's going on here?
    I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
    Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
    Unsure what's going on ...

  • Massive iPhoto Library Problems: cannot empty trash or delete photos

    I did something really stupid: imported another iPhoto library into my existing one. The latter is now approx 200 GB -- and I think potentially half of it consists of duplicate photos. (I had about 30GB and then imported about 70GB and was shocked to find a new total of double what I expected!)
    I have Duplicate Annihilator and I'm thinking of using it to delete the duplicates.
    However, I'm unsure whether to use DA yet -- or even at all. This is because iPhoto currently will not let me: (1) delete any photos or (2) empty the (very small) iPhotos trash. If I presist and repreatedly try to empty the trash or delete a photo it finally crashes.
    Should I fix the deleting/crashing problem first, before using DA? Or should I not even use DA at all but use a Time Machine backup to restore my original library and then import the other library properly (using perhaps iPhoto Library Manager)?
    Basically, I just want to get rid of those tens of thousands of duplicates and reduce the librarty to what should be its genuine (non-duplicated) size of approx 100GB.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks!
    PS. I forgot to add that the rebarbative "Faces" is of course running and I can't figure out how to stop it trying to match 10, 000+ faces. I suppose it could be causing or adding to the problem.
    PPS. For those techies who understand such things, here's the crash report (I should stress that I'm not competent and therefore not prepared to use command-line entry in Termminal to fix this):

    Or should I not even use DA at all but use a Time Machine backup to restore my original library and then import the other library properly (using perhaps iPhoto Library Manager)?
    Is what you should do.
    Note that you'll need the paid version ($20) of Library Manager to merge the libraries.

  • N97 - problems deleting photos

    I cannot delete photos from my n97, everytime i try to delete any photos stored I get the message "General system error" . I need to delete 127 photos and they seem to be just stuck there.  The phone will not even let me sync them to my PC.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like photos app database is corrupted. You've deleted the files, but they're still in phone's indexes/thumbnails cache. If you remove the database it'll rebuild itself.
    Connect to PC in mass storage mode, check show hidden files in windows. Open phone's mass storage drive, then open Private folder. Open 10281e17and rename or delete [102830AB]thumbnail_v2. Use safely disconnect hardware in taskbar before disconnecting. Open photos app and it'll search for pics, hopefully the deleted ones will be gone.
    If that doesn't help then repeat the above, and also open Images folder and rename or delete  _PAlbTN content, then check photos app again.
    Final solution is to format mass memory. The thing to note here is that all images will appear in Downloads folder once restored, only pics taken with camera after the format will appear in Captured. First uninstall apps from E:, this is just a precaution as some apps also store data on C: and this will help prevent any potential problems later such as duplicated entries. Use mass storage method to back up user files (pics, music, etc) to PC. Then format mass memory from file manager options. Restore data and reinstall apps.
    Formatting mass memory can take some time depending on the amount of data you need to back up then restore, so it's worth trying deleting the Private/Images folder files first.

  • Problem (sort of) deleting photos from external hard disk.

    Hi. (Most likely) because of moving my photos from the C:/drive to an external HD, I get the following message whenever I try to delete photos "the files are on a volume that does not support the recycle bin lightroom. Would you like to delete them immediately?". Any suggestions of solutions or work-arounds for this?

    Network shares do not support recycle bins under windows, so you just have to confirm the dialog to delete without moving to trash.

  • Problem deleting photos

    I can not delete photos from my pictures. I have tried several times. With tapping the picture and then hitting the delete button, but nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea. Thank you

    Are you tryng to delete from Photostream?  That's not possible.  You should be able to delete from events or total photos imported.  When things don't work as expected try a hard reset.

  • Major Problem Trying to Delete Photos

    I never tried to delete photos before from Lightroom and now I find that it is exceedingly weird. I have a set of about 100 photos I want to delete. I guessed at what should be done. Highlight them, hit delete. So I do that. I select 100 photos, hit delete. It asks me if I want to remove the photos from lightroom only, or delete them completely off my hard drive. I select remove from lightroom only. I do that and find that only the 1st photo out of 100 has been deleted. No matter what I do, only one photo is deleted. Lightroom tells me that 100 photos have been selected but will only delete one.
    It took me a very very long time to delete 100 photos. Surely there must be a way to do batch deletes?? No?
    help!
    Also, I just found out the same issue with keywords. I wanted to assign the same set of keywords to about 90 photos. I highlighted them all, assigned the keywords, and then found that only photo #1 has key words associated with it. All the other photos have nothing even though they were selected.
    What is going on with Lightroom?
    Mac, OS X 10.4.9, Lightroom 1.1.
    Thanks

    Anita:
    Tom said that Delete of several photos, multiselected in filmstrip is not working. Instead, only the "most selected photo" is deleted.
    This filmstrip behaviour differs from grid and behaviour described in help.
    This is usability bug, that breaks one of the main UI consistance rule: "if you have similar looking controls, they should behave the same way".
    LR has other such bugs:
    1. histogram view in develop and in library - similar look, different behaviour.
    2. Loupe view and Develop - scroll by mouse wheel on background around picture works in loupe and don't in develop.
    3. Double click on background around picture in Loupe brings Grid, while it is not in Develop
    4. One click on word "Exposure" in Quick Develop resets it, while it is not in Basic Develop (only double click works)
    etc,...
    No a big deal, but very annoying.
    I think LR team should make some UI Experience profiling.
    John:
    And what the reasons? I don't see any.

  • Having problems deleting photos on IPad 5.1

    My IPad 5.1 system does allow me to delete photos from IPhoto. Does anyone have advise?

    Several ways to do this Fritz >  iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto

  • Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD

    Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
    Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
    Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
    This causes a problem for a few reasons.
    I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
    If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
    Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
    I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
    Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
    What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
    Sorry if this is verbose.
    regards,

    You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
    And the version of iPhoto you are using?
    I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    +Some Other Comments+
    iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
    It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
    It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
    When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
    I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
    The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
    So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
