Delete photos with NO syncing!

I have been looking all over the message boards and have yet to find an answer. I have dozens of photos on my iPad that have never been synced to my computer, yet I can't delete them. Most of them were taken by my kids while playing with my iPad in the car, so there are tins of ceiling, wall and floor shots. :) I've tried everything short of syncing to try to get rid of these pictures; I don't sync up my iPad because I always have issues and lose things or get stuff added in that I never had selected to get put on there, so I haven't synced in well over a year and these pictures were taken last summer. I have been trying to get rid of them ever since, to no avail.
Any solutions?

    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.

  • How to delete photos with no option to sync in iTunes

    I'm trying to delete photo albums from my iphone 4s, but when connecting to iTunes, there is no 'photo' tab to allow me to re-sync and remove some albums. This is v2 of the phone, the original having drowned in a vegas pool, and not sure if the issue is from these photos basically being put on this phone from an icloud backup. Surely there's some way of deleting them though, right?!?!?! 

    Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • Recovering deleted photos with Time Machine

    Hi,
    I've recently deleted some photos I had in Aperture (deleted from the event and then cleared the recylcing bin). I do however have and run Time Machine but I can't seem to get hold of the lost files.
    Essentially all I need to know is where is the "trash" folder in the Aperture directory?
    If it helps to explain the issue, here is the sequence of events:
    1) Downloaded photos into Aperture
    2) Moved some photos into the trash bin
    3) *Time Machine Syncs"
    4) I empty trash
    When I run time machine at the moment in the aperture library, I can only see the not-deleted photos as expected based on the above events.
    Any ideas on how I can recover the photos if it's at all possible?
    Thanks
    Adam

    There is no Trash bin in the Aperture library package, where you can access the image files.  But until you actually empty Aperture's Trash, the image files will remain in the Masters folder inside the Aperture library, package exactly where they have been stored after importing. Aperture only indexes them differently in the database files.  If you still know, the exact date when you imported the missing photos, ctrl click the Aperture Library package in the Finder, use "Show Package Contents" and open the "Masters" folder. Open the subfolder for the year of the import, the month, the day:
    With this Finder window selected, enter Time Machine and look for the missing photos in that folder.
    If you emptied Aperture's trash, the files will have been moved to the Trash on the Desktop. Look for it there in your Backup.

  • I have no minus red button to delete photos with?

    I have unknowing downloaded too many photos on my iPad 3, as now my others apps do not work and it indicated "low memory" alread
    and I just got this 16GB which I thought would hold a lot of info.

    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • Delete Photos with a twist / After installing iCloud

    I'm struggling here. I have read all the information on how to delete pictures, but they are all making the assumption you are not using iCloud, or are trying to delete from the Photo Stream - that isn't my case.
    Here's my situation:
    1. I am using an iPAD1, iOS5, also using iCloud
    2. My Host PC is also synced up using iCloud for my iPAD
    3. I had photos on my iPad from before I upgraded to iCloud, and they are all on my iPad
    4. Now that I'm on iCloud, I cannot just unsync an Album as all those settings are now gone since I'm using iCloud, I have no options anymore in iTunes, the iPad shows up in iTunes, but I cannot do anything other then import my Photo Steam.
    How do I delete photos off my iPad with this scenerio? I want a bunch of the old photos on my iPad gone, but this seems like it might be impossible.
    Appreciate any help in advanced.

    How does this relate to iPhoto? sounds like a question for some other forum - iPad? iCloud (if there is one)? iTuens for the PC?

  • I'm finding Ios7 exceeding frustrating having to spend hours reinstalling and looking for last data. For example I cannot delete photos I have synced, applications are missing. Where can I get clear instructions to fix the mess?

    Where can I get clear instructions to clean up a mess that Ios7 has made of my data and info on my iPad. I can't delete photos, apps are missing, it's crazy and so frustrating. I have spent hours on this.

    How did the photos get onto your iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - instead they are deleted by not including them in your next photo sync from your computer's iTunes.
    For your apps, as long as they are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you had backed up to your computer's iTunes before starting the update then you could redownload them to your computer's iTunes and then retry restoring to your backup and see if that copies the apps and their content back (the actual apps aren't included in a backup, just their content/settings, so for a restore to work fully you need to have the relevant apps in the Apps part of your library).

  • Deleting photos from iphone synced from computer

    How do I delete photos on iphone 6 that were synced from my computer? My iPhone is unable to take pictures or video because all the photos from my computer have used up all my iPhone storage.

    Assuming you're still using the same computer that was used to sync the photos, you would do the opposite and unsync them using iTunes.

  • My iPad Mini will not let me delete photos I have synced via iTunes. I need to delete these photos to make space on my iPad. If you know how to delete them please tell me. Much Appreciated x

    When ever I go into my Photos on my iPad and select the ones I want to delete there is no Trashcan icon so I am unable to delete the photos. Please contact me if you know how to delete photos synced via iTunes x

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.
