Deleted photos keep showing up again.

Since I upgraded to IOS6, My phone lost my address book and brought in duplicate photos that I cannot get rid of. How do I delete photos from an iphone 4S? The keep coming back and the imported photo file will not allow them to be removed. The iCloud seems to just keep restoring files regardless of my wish to remove them.
Very frustrating and little help that appears relevant or useful.
Anyone find a solution to this? I am thinking I will have to do a hard reset and try to start over updating it again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erv

I posted this on another thread and thought I would add it here too...
I have figure out what is causing this issue I believe. I have a macbook pro which I use to sync my iPhone. I also have a Mac Pro that I will occasionally hook my iphone up too so it can charge. I have my phone set NOT to automatically sync for this reason. However when I plug it into either machine the sync comes up for some reason and normally does once for a longer period and then again yet if you look in iTunes it doesn't show that it's synching. I use to always cancel it because I was afraid it would mess up my phone. I one day decided... I wonder if that's what's causing the application issue. so I stopped canceling it and just letting it do it's thing and I didn't have the issue. Well one day I accidentally canceled it because someone sent me a text and I wasn't paying attention... and guess what? I had the issue with all the applications wanting to be put back on the phone!!!

Deleted ringtones keep showing up under my device in iTunes

For the past few months, there are 3 ringtones that I purchased on my iPhone, but later deleted, that keep showing back up under my device in iTunes. They are greyed out and won't transfer to iTunes, but also keep coming back after I re-delete. How do I either prevent them from showing up again or just get them to transfer over to iTunes and be done with it? I know this sounds really convoluted, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. I manually manage my music, video and ringtones, so I don't know why they keep trying to sync over. I really don't want to check the sync ringtones box because it will them remove all of my music and video and try to sync all of those from my itunes as well. My computer is a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just posted this problem as well. I can not remove the books on my Iphone 5 either.

TS3999 Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar? Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

Thank you for your prompt response.
I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
Thanks again.

Deleted picture keeps showing up in photo preview of camera

Okay so I took a picture on my phone with the camera from the lock screen. When I tried to view it it gave me a message that said that there were no photos or videos. So even when I unlocked my phone and checked my albums the picture isn't in any of the albums, but it still shows up in the photo preview in the bottom left hand corner. I've deleted all the pictures that I've taken today and it still shows up in the preview How do I get rid of that picture so it doesn't keep showing up?

Hi charlbi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you took a photo from the lock screen that shows in the lower left preview window, but that picture doesn’t show up in any albums in Photos. In this situation, I would suggest resetting your iPhone and checking again. Please let me know if you still see the preview of that picture after the reset.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Can I delete photos app and start again? How?

Ok, I've been really daft and did not ever know that there was a photo trash can in iPhoto. So for years in iPhoto I've been deleting or rather just removing photos and not thinking much of it.
Just did my mac updates and notice I now have Photo. Open up and wow I now have 100s of photos that I thought I had deleted, some years ago.
With over 16,000 photos in total this is not a job I want to go through sifting and deleting the rubbish again.
I opened my time machine but can't work out how to go back. Is there any way of wiping photo and then starting again? It didn't ask me about importing or merging from iPhoto it seemed to have done it on its own. If the photos are still in iPhoto can I delete photo and reinstall after fixing the issue in iPhoto?
Afraid to do something and mess it up further and so looking for advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing!
Thank you!

You can't delete the Photos app as it's part of the system. You can continue to use iPhoto and your iPhoto library. The iPhoto app is still in the Applications folder. If it's iPhoto 9.6.1 it will work with 10.10.3. If it's not try getting 9.6.1 from the App Store following Terence Devlin's instructions below:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Regarding the "deleted" photos did you systematically empty the iPhoto Trash bin each time you delete photos?

Deleted Podcasts keep being downloaded again, and again, and again

iTunes seems to want me to keep listening to old podcasts.
Since the last update, old, long-deleted podcasts keep being re-downloaded as new whenever the podcasts are refreshed (either manually or automatically). I spend a good 15 minutes going through and deleting them. Later that day, iTunes downloads all of them again.
I've had this program in the past but it was working alright for awhile. Now, since the last update of iTunes, it is back.
A recurring theme with iTunes in particular and Apple OS in general that updates tend to bring back problems that were fixed previously.
Can we just get this to work? I don't have time to keep re-deleting this and iTunes wants to download far more old podcasts than I have room for on my iPhone.

Rebuild your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When it's done, your emails should be back to normal again.

Deleted emails keep showing up on Iphone as new emails

Recently I have been having some trouble with my email on my iPhone. Emails that I have deleted keep showing up in my inbox as new emails. It's random too. Sometimes it's 2 emails and sometimes it's 25. Its getting kind of annoying. I even tried deleting everything in the trash folder. Any suggestions?

That's happening to me, too. Apparently, it's a problem with the update. I have been talking with an apple tech supervisor. he is nice, but has no suggestions. i went to the "genus" bar at the apple store. The "genus" there said to live with it, get a new phone, or just wait for a patch--which he admitted may never happen.
I have gone to my email acct. and i delete all the messages in it twice a day. it's a pain, but it keeps all of those messages coming through. have you found a solution?

Deleted songs keep showing up when iPhone shows up in iTunes.

I deleted all my music to get rid of this album that I purchased on my phone. It has been added twice but it keeps showing up everytime I plug it into itunes. It is not on my phone. It just keeps the grayed out circles but never ads it. Any suggestions on how to permanetly delete it?

Deleted songs keep showing up on iPhone 5c

So I finally did a rehaul of my music on my iphone. I had erased all the music and manually added 270 songs to my phone. Only problem is 65 songs that I did NOT want on my phone keep showing up... and some aren't even on my computer in my itunes! When I plug in my phone to sync and manually delete the songs, they aren't there, yet they still are on my phone. These songs are NOT in my cloud, and cannot be manually deleted on my iphone 5c. I am running on iOS 7.1.1. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Paul_ie86,
Try cleaning up your player. Boot the ZEN X-Fi from the recovery mode (instructions can be found here) and select Clean Up->Reboot. See if that helps.

Deleting photos not showing up in camera roll

I need to delete photos from my phone to increase memory. I have deleted all the pictures off of the camera roll except for 628, but in settings ap, it shows832. How do I delete those photos that are lurking around in messages/texts etc.?

Do you use a PC or a Mac? You can import all the photos to your computer, then use one of the programs on the computer to delete all the photos.

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I'm doing a restore and deleting it keeps showing apple screen then skull apple screen and it keeps doing it that for 12 hours not. How do i fix it to stop it

i have the 2nd generation ipod touch. i wanna to restore to factory settings but i couldnt do it through itunes. So i went in the settings to rest and delete. it keeps loading the apple screen and the apple turns to a skull and keeps repeating the screen for like 12 hours or more now. how do i fix it?

The skull indicates that the iPod is jailbroken
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Deleted podcasts keep showing up in front row

So I have older podcasts which have long since been deleted from my computer that show up in front row and my xbox 360 through connect 360. When I search my computer for the files, they are no where to be found. It's very annoying cause it adds numerous artists and files which aren't even on my computer. When I go to play them it says your computer does not have permission to play this. Are these podcasts cached somewhere on my hard drive? Is there a way to get rid of this? please help me! I've also re-installed osx to try and fix it but somehow they are still there!

I am having the same issue. Although, my deleted podcasts are showing up under Movies instead of Video Podcasts.

Deleted apps keep showing up on iPhone again [after unselecting in iTunes]

Hi,
I've bought some apps I decided that I don't want on my iphone, so I deleted them.
After syncing with iTunes, they appeared on the phone again, so I followed advice here and unchecked the individual apps from the Sync Applications screen in iTunes -- which is set to sync Selected Applications.
A few days later, I plug the phone in again and all the unchecked apps show up on my iPhone again. This keeps happening. Is there a way to get rid of these unwanted apps without deleting them from iTunes?

I posted this on another thread and thought I would add it here too...

Photo keeps showing up in different locations

Among the glitches that I am finding, the one and only photo on my home page will not stay where it is supposed to be. My husband can apparently see it just fine in Internet Explorer, but here at home both Safari and Firefox show the photo at the bottom or in the middle of the page. I have deleted and re-added the photo over and over and over. I clear my browser history every time I re-upload the site.
iWeb 09 is also refusing to recognize the font sizes and colors that I used in iWeb 08. Text boxes with thick lines around them are not loading, either. A "contact me" box (widget) that worked fine in 08 is not even visible in 09 (At least not in Safari or Firefox - not sure about IE.)
Is there any fix for these? I am in an absolute panic - my site looks dreadful and I'm getting more and more hits every day

I think it is just a Firefox issue. . .will post again if it is still an issue once I reinstall Firefox on my Mac.

IOS 8 - deleted photos not showing in Recently Deleted album

Updated iPhone 5 to iOS 8, noticed that the Camera Roll has disappeared, extremely anoying, and you are not able to see all the photos on the phone, instead only the recently added. Did some research and found that they are all in the photos. Also, found that when deleting a photo it first goes to the Recently Deleted album.
Tried it out by deleting some photos, however, no photos show in the Recently Deleted album. Asked the Apple store staff and they do not know either why it is not showing in the Recently Deleted album.
Anyone has an idea as to why and how to fix?

Hi tech.smart79,
Thanks for you reply.
As a matter of fact I did do a backup on my computer via iTunes, then did the update to iOS 8 via iTunes and had to restore the phone from that backup, which was also done via iTunes.
All photos are on the Photos, located at the bottom right in the Albums.
