Deleting imported photos

I have a folder of images I have imported via sd card.  I know how to delete individual pics.  I have tried re-synching to my PC and the images are still there.  The only thing the sync seems to affect are the images I originally synced.  My imported images and the images taken with my ipad2 are not affected by the sync. Please tell me there is a bulk way to delete these imported images......
Thank you for your time!!

Imported images are not affected by a sync because that is not how they were put onto the iPad in the first place.
Launch the photos app and go to the Camera Roll, while in thumbnail view , tap on the Arrow Icon in the upper right corner - tap on every photo that you want to delete - tap the red delete button in the upper left - tap the red delete button that pops up.
AFAIK - This is as "bulk" delete as it gets on the iPad.

  • How do I delete imported photos on the iPad in less then 2000 clics?

    Hi.
    I've been using the iPad to collect photos form my digital cameras.
    I have a few thousand of such photos on my iPad.
    Today I wanted to delete them (because they take a lot of memory and are synched anyway after correction).
    I could only find how to delete them by selecting them one by one on the iPad .
    On the Mac, I use Aperture, which has no option (AFAIK) for deleting imported photos.
    How stupid is that that you can import thousands of photos on the iPad and not delete them in under 1000 clics?
    I just found out that I still have iPhoto on my Mac, so I am going to import pictures from the iPad to iPhoto and use the option to delete them.
    Anyone with a less ridiculous solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jerome.

    The iPad's file system is hidden and not accessible unless perhaps you have jailbroken the iPad.
    Not jailbroken. The OP asked about photos that were imported, not sync'ed.

    The import photo albums generated using the CCK are accessable just like the "Saved Photos" album.
    As far as "clueing you in on how I do that", see my previous post.

  • Can you help me delete imported photos from iPhone (4s) running ios 7?

    I made (what appears to be) the mistake of importing photos from my PC to my new iPhone 4s using itunes.  They now seem to be permanent occupants.  I can select them (in the "Moments" view in the Photos app)  but the trash can on lower right is always grayed out.  It appears that in ios 6 they could be deleted in the Settings/General/Usage (I also synced over some music which is deletable here).  Can anyone help me? 

    Thank you razmee, I will give that a shot and get back to you.  I was just looking at that grayed out trashcan icon an thinking there was probably a way to light it up. 

  • IPhoto doesn't ask to delete imported photos

    For years, iPhoto on my MacBook Pro always asked if I wanted to delete the photos from the camera after importing them. For the last year or so, iPhoto 11 didn't always do that with my previous camera, although it sometimes did. Since I got the new Canon Rebel T3i, it never asks after if I want to delete them after importing them. I tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist my user library after seeing other comments referring to this, but iPhoto still doesn't ask. Each time I import, I have to reformat the SDHC card from the camera's menu, which works, but is somewhat of a pain, when iPhoto has the capability to erase these images.
    Any new suggestions would be welcome!

    My workaround is to upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop, name the folder as I want the event to be named and drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import them.  I found that importing from the hard drive would let iPhoto eliminate duplicates when coming directly from the camera would not.
    I don't believe it a bug in iPhoto as so few users are reporting this. Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Automatically delete imported photos from memory card

    I cant find this option anywhere, and with other photo management systems it's a fairly standard option, but how do you automatically delete the photos off the memory card once you have successfully imported them??

    You don't. LR is conservative about destroying stuff, and wants you to put the card back into the camera to clear it.

  • HT4101 How to delete imported photos.

    I used an SD card IPad accessory to import photos from my camera but the photos automatically go into the 'imported photos' album as well as the 'recently imported' album. I then tried to move them all into category albums ( summer, autumn, winter etc) but instead of moving them out of the 'imported photos' album it just made another copy to put in my new album. Now I have 2 or 3 copies of the same photo!!! (Not to mention photo stream and photos have copies as well!)
    I wish to know how I can delete these photos but only from 'imported photos' album and 'recently imported' album without deleting them from the albums I wish to keep. It's taking up lots of space on my ipad and is extremely unnecessary for me!

    Spare youself the frustration, use Photo Manager Pro.

  • HT201317 How do i delete imported photos in my ipad?

    I had imported photos from my computer to my iPad before. Now, i have decided to remove them. But it seems that i couldn't find the "trash bin" icon on the upper right corner. I would like to remove it using my computer but it was newly fixed. The newly installed iTunes couldn't recognize my device. I'm worried that i might lose data if i continue to figure it out by myself. I need some help please. I'm not good in dealing with technical problems. Thank you.!

    If they were taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then you  should be able to delete them directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
    Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on your iPad then after tapping the Edit button at the top right of the screen in thumbnail view you may also be able to double-tap one of the thumbnails with two fingers, but instead of lifting your fingers off the screen after the second tap slide then back and forth across the screen on the photos that you want to select for deletion.
    You should also be able to delete them via Image Capture on your Mac e.g. re-connect the iPad, open Image Capture, select the photos that you want to delete and then at the bottom of the screen click the 'no entry' symbol

  • Why can't i delete imported photos on my iphone?

    I traded in to get an iphone 6.  The store imported 3000 photos onto my iphone6..  I want to delete some of them, but there is no delete option.
    Help,
    "drowned in photos".

    Sorry to hear about any unwanted photos that made it onto your new device! You can delete your photos by opening an album or collection, touch "Select" in the upper left corner, and choose all the individual photos you want to delete! Just touch the trash can in the lower left corner when you've selected them all. Get more tips and tricks for your new device right here: http://vz.to/1232Iuc

  • Delete imported photos from iPhone camera roll?

    In iPhoto, after importing photos from my iPhone I would get a prompt to delete the photos that had just been imported from the camera roll. Since the Photo Stream was implemented though, most photos would have already been imported through iCloud before I connected the phone to my Mac. iPhoto would then give an option to remove all photos that had already been imported.
    The new Photos app no longer appears to have this option. I can tick to delete items after import, but I can't automatically remove all items in the camera roll that have already been imported. If I go and manually delete those photos from the camera roll on the phone, it also deletes them from the Photo Stream, and they disappear on my Mac and iPad as well.
    I'm not subscribed to iCloud Photo Library. How can I make sure that all my photos continue to import onto my Mac and stay there, without keeping all the originals on the phone forever?

    Yes... a real surprise (not a pleasant one)
    Only workaround I know of (and have used already in testing and getting setup) is to use the Image Capture app in your main Applications folder (a standard OS X utility).
    After you've imported your pictures manually from your iPhone to Photos, you can run this app and then delete what you will.
    I imagine the reason for this is that PhotoStream should be taking care of this. You don't need to have the iCloud Library turned on for this to work, and photos should import automatically.
    However, there are three issues with this:
    Buggy: I found (at least prior to iOS 8.3) that not all of my photos on my iPhone went to the Photo Stream... never did find out why some didn't make it.
    Buggy again: Many people are having issues with the latest releases getting Photo Stream to sync from an iPhone
    You don't want your photos in Apple's domain.
    In which case, using another app to mass delete your photos on your iPhone is (for now), your only choice.

  • How do I delete imported photos existing on my iPhone?

    I imported ALL of my photos from iPhoto and now I don't know how to delete the ones I don't one! I thought re-checking the box would do the trick to just delete all the photos and start again, but it doesn't delete even though it says it is deleting. Help!

    Make a folder/album called iphone. Put all the pics you want in that folder/album. Then set itunes to sync that folder/album. Any time you add/delete a pic from that folder/album on your computer, and sync, the pics will be added/deleted from iphone.
    The iphone is designed to mirror whatever folder/album that you sync with. The iphone's photo album is not a stand alone photo album. You change it by changing the folder/album on you rcomputer and syncing.

  • Unable to delete imported photos on iphone 3G - no trashcan option

    I recently got an iphone 3G - 8GB model. I wanted to store some of my images located on my winXP notebook on the iphone, and figured as it uses iTunes to synch data and download mp3s etc, I simply dragged and dropped one of my notebook's photo folders onto the iphone icon listed on the left hand menu of itunes while the iphone was connected.
    This copied the images and folder over - all 376 images. I wasnt sure if this was the correct way of getting images onto the iphone, but hey! it worked.
    I later discovered some duplicate images in the folder on the iphone - they were dupes in the original folder that I forgot about - so figured I could delete the duplicate entries when viewing them on the phone, as some are large filesize.
    However no trashcan symbol appears when viewing these imported jpegs, unlike the photos that were taken with the iphone which show the trashcan delete icon when viewing images in edit mode. seems a bit strange to let me copy the images on there, but not allow me to delete them same as the iphone camera roll pix.
    The only other option in iTunes for editing photos is to synch photos, or delete the whole folder by unticking it and synching. Is there any other way to delete selected imported jpegs individually, as I dont need to delete the whole folder?
    Or is there an appstore app that allows you to edit the contents of the iphone hard drive in situations like this?

    hey guys, yes I added my mpeg files to itunes then used its built in iphone video converter.. it appeared to work until I synched the new converted videos into my iphone - on the iphone i get the visual video but no audio. Dammit!
    I just tried using an evaluation version of 'Iphone Movie Converter' suggested by Andrew - that worked and when i imported those conversions, the video and audio is working fine on iphone. but of course i get the large 'evaluation only' watermark! guess I'm gonna have to spring $30 for the full app, but its annoying that the itunes converter sort of works but not getting audio.. an issue I've also read in other threads.
    thanks for all your helpful suggestions!

  • HT1386 Deleting imported photos from iPad .

    I have transferred pics from a pc to my iPad, I now want to delete those pics and request some help to do this. I have no problem with iPad photos but can not delete the imported pics.

    Not initially, but after I opened the left sidebar from "view" at the top of the screen, I found my device, clicked on it and found photos from there. I was able to delete and all is well now. I just didn't realize I had to physically open the sidebar. It had always opened automatically, so when I updated to the newer version and it wasn't there, I thought that was just the new view. Considering all the many queries on this same topic, others could be making the same mistake.
    Thank you for  your reply!

  • Delete imported photos

    Why can't I delete photos I imported onto my ipad using iTunes?  I can select the photo which shows a white tick on a round blue circle, but the delete button is a dull red colour as if it's no active and there is NO trash can.  I would think Apple would have made it easier to delete photos.  I have been able to delete a TV movie and even a book.  I would like to free up more space for other things.  Any advise would be appreciated as I'm NEW to the iPad Mini...well new to ALL technology.
