Delete Photos Sync'd from a dead MBP?

I have a collection of photos that were added from my previous Mac Book Pro (it died a horrible death).  I would like to remove them from my iPad, but they will not display the Delete icon when they are selected in Photos.
How can I get rid of these pictures since the originating system is no longer available?
Tim

Thanks, Allan.  That cleared all of the photos sync'd from the dead MBP and it left my current images imported directly from my EOS.
That's about as non-obvious as anything I've ever run into.

  • Is there any way whatsoever to delete photos synced from iTunes?

    This is something that constently frustrates me and I've never found a solution for it. I can delete music, videos, apps, etc etc etc from the phone to reclaim storage space, but is there no way in **** to delete photos synced through iTunes? It's bothered me before in the past, so I stopped syncing albums to my phone, but recently I had synced my albums of photos from my wedding to my iPhone so that I could show some family and didn't realize how much space it was going to take up. The entire weekend I could not remove them to download apps, music, videos or anything.
    Is there any way at all to remove them? Via iFunbox,  or some sort of "reset" option in Settings, or any other means?

    What you ask is pretty basic. Uncheck the Sync Photos from option in iTunes and click Apply
    Assuming your device is not modified/hacked/jailbroken in any way/shape/form

  • How to delete photos or songs from iPhone?m by deleting photos or songs

    The Apps store tells me I can get an update on an App I downloaded, but to make room for it, I must first delete songs or photos. I have no clue how to do this without also deleting photos or songs from my Mac computer. Is there an easier (or smarter) way to make these deletions from the iPhone?
    Thanks.
    Ralph

    If these pictures were transferred from your Mac and you use iPhoto for photo storage selecting iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, deselect the iPhoto albums under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync to remove the photos from your iPhone. If these were photos that were captured by your iPhone, use iPhoto to import the photos. When the import process is complete, iPhoto will prompt you to erase the imported photos from your iPhone just as when importing photos from any digital camera.
    If you want to remove songs that were transferred to your iPhone and you choose an iTunes Playlist or Playlists to be transferred to your iPhone, remove the songs from the Playlist or Playlists in iTunes followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone.

  • How to delete photos and videos from iphone after transferring them to iCould?

    iPhone 4S
    iOS- 8.1.1
    After transferring photos and videos from my iphone to icloud, how to delete photos and videos from my iPhone 4S 

    Thanks to both of you for your replies.
    For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
    I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
    Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
    Thanks again for your replies.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto 8.1.2 crashed while deleting  photos (7,000) from my iphone and the photos disappeared from iphone and iphoto

    No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
    You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

  • Can't delete photos in albums from iPhone5s

    I have tried everything. 
    1.  I deleted the unwanted photos from the albums in iPhoto and tried to sync connected to iTunes. 
    2.  I tried quitting both iTunes and iPhoto and tried syncing again. 
    3.  I tried not syncing photos and selected erasing all photos from iPhone in order to try a fresh start.
    4.  Tried deselecting albums
    Nothing has changed.  I am syncing directy to iTunes via iMac.  I have one album in particular that I want to delete 55 out of 66 photos and it just doesn't change.  It will add albums and photos but will not delete photos from the iphone that were deleted from the adjusted albums in the iPhoto Library.

    You need to remove them the same way you put them on the iPad.
    That is by Unsyncing them in iTunes on the computer.
    You can unselect the folder you wish to remove in ITunes on the computer, or sync an empty folder to remove them all.

  • How to delete photos and albums from ipad mini

    How do i delete photos from my ipad mini, i jave synced to my mac alrready, needing to make space on ipad

    Delete them on your computer, then sync to your iPad.
    Your iPad can delete Camera Roll contents, but not photos that are stored on your computer.

  • How do I delete photos on iPad from photo library

    How do I delete photos on an iPad from the photo library?

    Photos captured by the iPad are stored in the same location as photos saved from a received email or from a website. All photos in this location can be deleted direct from the iPad. Under Albums that would be all photos in the Camera Roll album.
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are deleted from your iPad in the same way - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    If you have Photo Stream turned on with each device, all photos in the Camera Roll on each device will be available in the Photo Stream on each device. Capture a photo with your iPhone which is stored in the Camera Roll and the photo will be placed on your Photo Stream as well which in turn will be available in the Photo Stream on your iPad and vice-versa. The same with photos saved from a received email or from a website on eithe device which are stored in the Camera Roll. Beginning with iOS 5.1, you can delete photos direct from the Photo Stream on either device.

  • How can I delete photos when importing from iPhone 4

    I'm using Aperture 3.13 on Mac OS X 10.7.1.  When I import photos from my iPhone 4 I am never asked to delete files from the camera roll.
    What am I doing wrong?  How can I have Aperture delete photos from the camera roll once they are imported?

    Aperture won't delete the photos from your iPhone. Most users have settled on using Image Capture ater importing into Aperture to delete the photos from the iPhone.

  • Permanently Deleting Photos and Folders from iPhoto

    I just purchased my first iMac on April 2, 2008 and simply love it. Goodbye Windows. WooHoo...
    OK, now for my question. I am a semi-professional photographer that commonly takes about 500-1,000 photos during any given photo shoot. Normally (on Windows with Adobe Photoshop), I would load all 1,000 photos into my Adobe Catalog and review them. After a few days of edits and review, I may only want to keep the best 50-100 photos and I delete the others. But when I use iPhoto, even if I delete the 900 extra photos from my Library, they still sit in the iPhoto Library folders and take up space. I have opened the iPhoto Library Package and can see the Data, Modified and Original folders with all of the unwanted files, but I was advised by Apple Support to NEVER delete or remove files by opening the iPhoto "Package".
    Is there any way to physically remove the unwanted photos from iPhoto once they are in my iPhoto Library, or do I need to edit and review them outside of iPhoto before I load them into the iPhoto Library which seems to be a permanent thing?
    This is a common process for photographers who take a lot of photos. It's nice to be able to review and edit them before deciding on the best ones to keep. Surely there must be an option from within iPhoto that would physically removed the deleted photos and update the iPhoto Library correctly, without having to open the iPhoto Package and risk corrupting the Library.
    Since each photo will be between 4MB (jpg) to 10MB (RAW) in size, do I need to use another application for my initial sorting, review and editing, then only import into iPhoto the "Keepers"? If so, what application should I be using?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    As stated above:
    Put the pics in the iPhoto trash and then iPhoto Menu -> Empty the Trash
    This removes the pics from iPhoto and the Hard Drive.
    A couple of notes:
    1. You need to be in the Library view to do this. If you delete from an album it only removes the pics from the Album. To put pics from an Album directly into the trash use the -delete keystroke
    Are you sure that you're in the Library View? This is the most common reason this doesn't work. On a longer shot there may be minor issues with your HD, but first make sure that you're in the Library View when deleting.
    Also, I want to have iPhoto write the "Modified" version of my images on top of the "Original"... to save HD space. Can that be done?
    No. iPhoto preserves your Original file no matter what. This is hardwired into the application and there is no easy way to defeat it.
    You may export all your pics from iPhoto. Empty out the iPhoto Library (put the pics in the trash, empty the trash) then re-import the one previously exported. But this is long winded and will need to be done as your library grows. And, of course, this will defeat the Non-Destructive editing feature of iPhoto.
    You can run a library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder 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.
    Of, if you don't want your Original file preserved, then simply don't use iPhoto. There are alternatives out there. Search on MacUpdate.
