Delete photos off iphone?

Ok, so I recently imported all 2,000 photos from my iphone onto my new imac. Problem is....how do I get them off my iphone?? I tried selecting all the photos on the actual phone, but when I clicked delete it only deleted like 100. There has to be another way to delete your photos other then doing it 100 pictures at a time right??

i am not a 100%, but it might only let you delete 100 at a time. it is annoying, I agree with you.
Not trying to be mean, but why have you not synced your phone before the 2000 pics? You bought your phone with no computer didn't you? I see that constantly in new iPhone users. The salesman never tells you that it is a good idea to sync the phone to computer every once in a while. I had a friend with the same problem. Until iOS5 comes out later this year and you can sync wirelessly, most people will have never synced before.
I am not sure if there is a select all folder in Finder (in windows, i think once you sync your photos with the automatic windows thing, (not iTunes) it gives you an option to delete all after sync) does mac give you access to the DCIM folder on your iPhone. that is where all your photos are if you can get to it.. after that I don't remember. it is something like DCIM\Apple00 or DCIM\Apple100. Fuzzy on the details

  • Deleting photos off iphone

    i have recently purchased a iphone 3g and i have added my music and pictures to it. i have sinced realised that there is a photo album that i dont want on my phone and am wondering how to delete it. i have plugged my phone into itunes and tryed everything possible but there just doesnt seem to be a delete album button. can someone help.

    That really didn't answer the question. I had the original iphone and now the 3gs and had no problems until one of the last updates. It's like the 4 ruined it for us simplistic users. Now, your phone has "Albums" on it instead of the plain, old camera roll. That would be fine if it were user friendly.
    If you go to the information tabs and choose which photos (from your mac) you want to sync and choose an empty foler, the duplicate albums finally delete on the device. However, even if you do this and you are only left with the camera roll on the device, you can't delete the pics anymore. The bottom of the screen has only two tabs - albums & places (who really cares about places?!?). The top tabs has Albums and send. The phone used to have a trash can, a send (box w/arrow) and one other choice I can't recall. What happened. I would like to delete photos from the device as I go. How do I get the old screen or how do I delete photos off the device now?

  • Can't delete photos off iphone 6

    hi, ive been trying to resync my photos to my iphone 6 because the organisation of the photos in iphoto doesnt reflect in photos app in iphone 6.
    so i tried deleting and resyncing it but it just gets stuck at syncing "gregory leow" (my name)
    (to undelete, i have been unchecking sync photos from iphoto and syncing it. then it gets stuck. bear in mind i do have 40,000 photos and videos. leaving it overnight doesnt work)
    restarting the computer doesnt work, neither does closing iphoto.
    i've tried switching cables to original apple ones, but that isnt working.
    i am using a 2013 macbook pro, I7, 512gb with yosemite and phone has been upgraded to ios 8.1

    Try restarting your Mac and the phone
    Or give Image Capture (in your applications folder) a try - it can delete photos from your phone too

  • Deleting photos off iPhone 5c that were automatically synced from an iPhone 4s?

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of my photos are automatically synced to my dad's girlfriends iPhone 5c, and they can't be deleted off her phone. So I need some help getting them off her phone and keeping them from being sent. Please and Thank you to anyone who can help!

    If the photos came to the new iPhone after being synced in iTunes to a computer, then you will need to uncheck photos in iTunes for that new iPhone and sync/Apply the changes.
    If these photos are listed in the My Photo Stream on the new device, its becasue both phones are using the same Apple ID in Settings > iCloud.
    If you want to use the same account, everything will continue to sync from Settings > iCloud that is turned on, turn off Photos in there to stop uploading photos to My Photo Stream, or Delete Account and either don't use iCloud or set it up with your own account/email address.

  • Deleting multiple photos off iphone

    I know that we have the option to delete photos off iPhone after we import into iPhoto... but sometimes I want to keep some on my phone so I don't choose the delete option. Unfortuantely, I am left with having to go through each photo and erase them one by one... has anyone come up with a way to delete multiple photos off the iPhone once you've chosen not to delete them immediately after importing them? Cannot understand why this hasn't/wouldn't have come up... it seems like an obvious need. They managed to simplify the email deleting situation, why not photos?

    Putting photos back on iPhone... If you want some photos back on your iPhone, what I do is email them to myself then open the email on my iPhone, a have select save the images...
    If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera including from your iPhone and for storing all photos on your Mac, you can create an iPhoto album or multiple albums. Place the photos from your iPhoto library in the designated iPhoto album that you want transferred to your iPhone.
    Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto.
    Choose Selected Albums and then select the iPhoto albums that you want transferred to your iPhone. Select Apply followed by syncing.
    If you want to transfer additional photos to your iPhone, place the photos in an iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. Or create a new iPhoto album for select photos. For any photos that you want removed from your iPhone, remove the photos from the iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
    All photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process will be stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, and the separate iPhoto albums selected to be transferred will also be available below.
    You can view photos available in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos available on all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    The same applies to iTunes Playlists for music.

  • How do I delete photos off of my iphone

    How do I delete photos off of my iphone?

    I sync any photos you synced there from your computer.  You can delete camera roll photos when you see the thumbnails by tapping edit and then ticking the photos you want gone and then tap delete.  You can delete photos in settings/general/usage/photos and camera swipe across camera roll and then tap delete to delete everything in the camera roll.  You can do the same for photo library and photo stream if you want them all gone

  • I cannot delete photos off my iphone 5s

    I want to delete photos off of my iphone.  I've read several articles but the trash icon in the bottom right screen of the phone is shaded out, even after I select photos.  I have no idea why and cannot figure out how to delete photos. Any ideas?

    What photos?
    Photos synced to the iphone from your computer, are removed the same way.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

  • HT201317 Do I delete photos off my Macbook so their deleted off my iPhone or do i delete them off of my iPhone so they are deleted off my Macbook? SO confused.

    OR
    Do I delete photos off of my iPhone so they are deleted off my iPhoto on my Macbook? I'm SO confused.
    I just want to delete the photos and not have them come up again when I plug my phone in.
    I also don't want duplicates of my photos.

    iPhoto sees your phone as a digital camera and offers to import any photos it finds in your camera roll, and only if you click the Import button in iPhoto.  If you don't want to import photos, don't connect the phone to iPhoto.  If you want to transfer photos from iPhoto to your phone, do that from the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.  If iPhoto is automaticallly opening when you connect your phone, go to iPhoto>Preferences>General and choose "No application" from the drop-down list next to "Connecting camera opens:".
    Or are you talking about photo stream photos?

  • I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

    I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

    If you have deleted all the photos from your iPhone you can't get them back.  The only place they might exist is if you backed them up to iPhoto if you have a Mac.  If you have iCloud and Photo Steam enabled, then the last 100 photos would be saved in your Photo Stream.

  • How do I delete photos off of my 5s but ensure they are saved in iPhoto?

    How do I delete photos off of my iPhone, but ensure they are saved in iPhoto or on my hard drive.

    You can import them to your computer via a cable as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Alternatively, if you have been using Photo Stream, you can open iPhoto on your Mac, and on the menu named "iPhoto" click Preferences and then iCloud and put a check mark in front of "Automatic Import" to automatically import photos from My Photo Stream into regular iPhoto Events. You can also open iPhoto and click on iCloud in the left hand pane and manually move photos into Events.

  • Delete photos from iPhone iOS 7

    I cannot delete photos from my iPhone since I did the update to IOS 7.  I've searched the internet for answers, but nothing works!  Maybe I don't understand how photostream works, but it seems as though I have the same photos on my iPhone multiple times and to delete them, I have to do it one by one.
    Please help!!
    Thank you

    If it were the regular Photo stream, the album would be called "My Photo Stream", so it is not rhe Photo Stream you are looking at, but a regular album or an album syned from your mac.
    Have you ever synced the iPhone and iPad wit your computer using iTunes with iPhone Data Eraser? This really looks like the album "Photo Stream" is an album that has been synced to your iDevices using iTunes. Then they can only be removed by syncing again with iTunes, selecting to sync photos, but deselecting all photo albums in iTunes.
    If it is a regular album, however, try to find the photos in your camera roll and delete photos from iPhone permanently. Then they will also vanish from the album. And photos, that have been edited, cannot be deleted at all, unless you revert them to original.
    You can delete multiple photos off camera roll. Simply open the album "Camera Roll" (or which ever album contains the photos you wish to delete) and hit the edit button in the upper right hand corner. Touch the photos you want to get rid of and a red check will appear on them, then hit the delete button to delete photos from iPhone.

  • How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

    How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

    You mean photos that were transferred from the PC to the iPhone?  You can't delete them directly on the device, not without erasing everything off the device.  You'd have to sync the device with iTunes again, and choose to have no pictures synced.

  • 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.

    Regards

    You need to do it through iTunes, by unsyncing them
    Wtih  your iPhone connected, open iTunes on your computer, and click on your iPhone's name.
    This should bring up the Overview Page, then click on the Photos Tab.
    From their uncheck the folders that have the images you want top remove from your phone. Then sync the phone. itunes will remove the pictures during the sync process.
