Deleting document or photos from ipad to save space
Is there a way to delete a document or photo from my iPad to save space but still keep it in iCloud? I want to be able to have access to it when/if I need it but am trying to maximize space on my iPad.
iCloud is able to backup your documents and photos, however if you delete them from your device they will be removed from the backup.
I would use either Dropbox or Microsoft SkyDrive. These will both allow you to store documents and photos, that you can access via an app on all your devices.

How to delete synced-in photos from iPad?
Thanks to all who responded to my query re deleting photos from iPhoto in iPad.
Consequential question is:
Most of those to be deleted were synced in from my computer. How do I set about
deleting these?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.

Recovering deleted video and photos from ipad or iphone
I deleted accidentally 3 Family videos from Hawaii plus some photos from my iPad. Now I am trying to recover them.
1st I stopped using the iPad so I would not overlap info.
2nd I did a backup on my MacBook into itunes
3rd I opened Finder, Go, then pressed alt to show the Library folder, Application support, MobileSync, Backup.
Picked the most recent backup and found all my files without any extensions.
copied them to another folder so I wouldn't mess with the originals. sorted them by size and added .mov and .jpeg to them.
the photos I recovered some but the videos only one that i forgot that I had deleted. Still the 3 most important Family videos I cant play.
Any ideas as to adding other type of extensions or I heard that they might be coded by mysql
Tried 2 recovery programs didn't work, no trace at all but the third trial program found them yet I am now reluctant to spend more $ for nothing.
Ideas to recover videos? please help, These steps might also help others for recovering just photos. Thank you!Thanks for the advise unfortunately my iPad is running on ios 7.0.6
I wonder if I updated it, would capture the deleted in less then 30 days items. but worry if the update may override some data.
If in two week I don't find a solution I will try the update to 8 (before the 30days). and keep playing with the backup. Again, Thanks for the advise. -
any info much appreciated
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do it but you shouldn't. Time Machine deletes old backups when your Time Capsule gets full, so you will lose your iPhoto libraries and the pictures they have.
If you want, one thing you can do is to move the iPhoto library to another external disk, so you will get free space on the hard disk -
I have accidentally deleted photos imported to my iPad (model prior to Air) and at the same time I have deleted the same photos from my camera memorycard. Can anyone help retrieve them to either device As there were over 300 which cannot be replaced?

how to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.
If you did the backup of your data before deleting then you can easily get back the data by the following steps:
1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPad from syncing automatically." Because this will ensures we don't erase the previously stored backup. Then select ok and close the window after checking " don't sync"
4. Now connect your iPad to your computer .
5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
6. Select version and click on restore from options.
7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your data from iPad, including the deleted sms, notes, photos, music, contacts etc.

Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView
I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?
Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad. We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream. I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook. I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad... Any ideas?

Deleting photos from iPad moments
Does deleting photos from iPad "moments" delete them from all devices (like from Photo Stream) or only from the iPad?
It deletes the photos from the Photo Stream so it will also delete it from the Photo Stream on all devices.

By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?
If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

Delete Pictures from Your iPad

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.) -
If i delete an app on my ipad to save up space, but have it at home on my itunes library on my imac, will it also be deleted from there when i sync my ipad back to my imac itunes library?
No. What's on your iMac is a backup and you can re-install (re-sync).

Also, what is the best source to learn how photos are shared, streamed, etc. I assume that streaming photos do show up as taking up space on the ipad, but I want to understant how it all works between devlces.
Hey dddog,
To delete multiple photos at once:
Tap Select, select the photos or videos you want to delete, then tap.
You can even delete full albums:
