Deleting and Syncing Photos on iPhone doesn't work or is stuck

I have around 3000 photos on my iPhone (all albums from Apterture synched via iTunes). I intend to delete all of them. It does not work if I choose to uncheck the synch photos feature in iTunes and also if I check it but have no albums/projects selected.
Instead the last step of the iTunes sync (importing photos) runs forever, even through a whole night. And I still have my photo albums which should not be on the iPhone an more.
Any idea or help? Thank you.

Check the settings of the side switch:
Settings>General. Be sure that the side switch is set to screen lock rather than mute.

If you synced them via whats app then you will need to delete them using that app.

You can remove all of the synced photos from the phone by connecting it to iTunes on your computer and syncing again but before you sync remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos from" on the Photos tab of iTunes. If you only want to remove some of the photos there are more details in the "To delete synced photos and videos" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236

If you're syncing, you have to unselect the photos you no longer wish to sync, and they won't show up on your phone anymore.

There may be other ways, but the best way I've found is:
Set up an iCloud email account so that you can use the Notes part of this service. Note that I said "iCloud email" not "iCloud" ... you need to enable the email service of iCloud in order to get the iCloud Notes feature. Otherwise, the "Notes" app on your device will only store notes on your device, or maybe sync them with some other email account (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo ... but does so poorly IMO).
On your Macs, set up the same iCloud account as on your iPhone. Now that you've set up the email part of iCloud, you can enable the Notes feature of iCloud on your Macs.
Be sure to set iCloud as the default account to store your notes, in case you have other email services with a Notes feature.
New notes that you create on any device will sync to each other.
Notes that you created before doing all this cannot sync to your Macs, since the notes were not in iCloud. Just turning on iCloud Notes does not cause them to enter iCloud and sync -- you'd have to copy and paste them into a new note, after ensuring that iCloud is the default account for any new notes.

How come when you delete a photo in photo stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the photo stream (iPhone)?

If you upload a photo in the 'Photo Stream Uploads' folder (PC), it is automatically imported to iPhone (via Wi-Fi). How come when you delete a photo from the Photo Stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the Photo Stream (iPhone)?? I mean doesn't iCloud automatically update the changes? thanks.

You cannot delete photos from the photo stream. You can only log into icloud and in your account, you can delete photo stream and start fresh. It is rumored that the next upgrade to iOS will allow deletions of single photos from the stream, but not yet.

Sync photos from iPhone?

I'm taking pictures, but I can't see the pictures I take with iPhone in iPhoto.
Anyone out there know how to sync the "Camera Roll" Photo album on iPhone?

Using iTunes to transfer photos from your computer to the iPhone is optional. You can import photos from your phone to a computer and not sync any photos to the phone via iTunes if desired. It does not overwrite photos taken on the phone and left on the phone.
Each time you sync (if you choose to sync photos at all) it will set the synced photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes (i.e., it will add any new photos from the folders/albums you have chosen to sync, it will delete previously synced photos if you change the settings to no longer sync some folders/albums).
I'm not sure what it is that you are trying to do but you may want to consider using iCloud Photo Library. It allows you to automatically have all of your photos on your Mac, on your iPhone, and on iCloud. No iTunes required, no usb cable importing required. More information:

Sync photos from iphone to itunes

I am trying to sync/import photos from my iphone to my brand new mac.
Once connected between my mac and my iphone on itunes, i am checking the box to synchronise photos.
before proceeding, I get a warning message saying that the photos on my iphone will be deleted (i have approx 2'000 ones there) and replaced by the ones on my new mac (i have none there). I understand that I will lose all my pictures, properly organized, on my iphone.
I want to do exactly the opposite : import the photos and photo libraries from the iphone to the mac.
How can I do this with iTunes ?

Using iTunes to transfer photos from your computer to the iPhone is optional. You can import photos from your phone to a computer and not sync any photos to the phone via iTunes if desired. It does not overwrite photos taken on the phone and left on the phone.

Backwards sync??? Taking pre-synced photos off iPhone

Long story short, I have a few hundred pics from my PC synced to my iPhone, formatted my HDD, didn't back up photos. D'oh! Does anybody know ANY WAY of taking the photos that were previousely synced from the PC (i.e. NOT shot from the iPhone's camera) and putting them back on the PC? My backup CD for photos is like a year old.
I know Apple's products aren't designed to do simple things like this, which is why iPhone is the only Apple product I have, but I know there are also usually ways to get around it. I remember a friend found a way to get his music off of his iPod because he lost everything on his PC. This is the same deal, only replace iPdo with iPhone and music with photos. Thanks guys

HT1296 how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

I have the same issue. I've already read the iPhone user guide which didn't help.
The user guide explains how to turn on Photo Sync in iTunes but no specifics of where the imported photos will be. I tried syncing a few times and I cannot find the photos on my PC.iTunes transferred all my PC photos *to* the phone, but not the other way around.
I'd imagine they should be in the folder that is specified in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated!
