Deleting iphoto photos from iPad

When backing up my ipad to my macbook before updating to IOS 7 somehow I managed to sync all the photos from my mac which were in Iphoto to my ipad - all 10 GB of photos. Now I don't have enough space to update to IOS7 or indeed download any more apps.
How do I undo this operation? I tried resyncing my ipad to the mac book but I'm not getting any option to do with photos. If I delete the photos individually from the ipad will they still be on iphotos when I sync again to the macbook?
All suggestions welcome and thank you in advance.

You haven't told us anything about your iPad's environment: Which model? Whici iOS version?
But perhaps the most important question is how much free space you have? Look at Settings > General > Usage and note the available space. It needs to be absolutely no less than 10% of the iPad's total storage space.
If space is tight, you might try deleting other things first.
Whether space is tight or not, you might try deleting fewer photos at a time. The feeling I get is you're trying to do one massive delete. Try some smaller ones first.

Delete multiple photos from ipad in ios7

How do you delete multiple photos from ipad in ios7? I need to clear out old photos to free up some space and don't want them deleted from other devices. 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:
Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.Delete an album: Tap .

How to delete unwanted photos from iPad

After choosing the photos I want to delete from iPad, even I touched "DELETE", nothing happens!
I would be grateful if anybody can help me on this and also I want to delete App I don't want anymore.
Many thanks in advance for yor help.

What OS are you using and what photo program, if you are using Mac OS and iPhoto normally you would need to delete the pictures with the program you used to transfer them to your iPad. Or you can go into iTunes a de-select them so that they will not sync with the iPad.

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!

Backup synced iPhoto photos from iPad

I have synced some photos with iPhoto to my iPad. My problem is that those photos are not included in the backup of my iPad. Is there a way to include them?
Thanks!

Export iPhoto photos from iPad to PC

I recently bought a new iPad and found it a great little tool. I picked the 64GB version because I want to also use it for photography. I then discovered iPhoto and found it to be a wonderful app. Taking images from my camera and editing them on the iPad is so easy and turns a chore into an entertaining activity.
Now I have a problem: I am not able to export these edited images to my PC for inclusion into my larger photo library and offline backup. I have to state that most of these photographs are not take with the built-in camera, but imported onto the iPad from my other cameras. I believe the only way to achieve this is to export each photo individually from within iPhoto to Camera Roll on the iPad (multiple exports are not allowed). Then I plug the iPad into the PC USB and pull these files off as I would do for any other USB storage device. This is not a workable solution as this involves many hundreds of photographs.
I do not want to send them up to Dropbox via WiFi and download them again to PC. That will i.a. mean using 2x bandwidth and cannot be done easily when I am travelling.
Can someone help me please?

Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
All help gratefully received.

You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

Removing photos from iPad without deleting them from computer?

I just bought an Apple Mac air laptop. I have uploaded all my photos from my iPad and, iPod touch. I need space on my iPad. Can I delete pictures from my iPad without deleting from the Apple Mac air laptop? Do I need to change settings on the iPad device:
1. iCloud - already increased
2. Photo stream
I don't know how else to make room for more apps or music unless I remove photos. Please help!

What do you mean that you uploaded them? If you think that they are being stored in iCloud, then you cannot rely on that. Camera roll photos are backed up in iCloud but can only be restored if you restore the entire backup. You cannot selectively restore photos or files from iCloud. You restore everything or nothing at all.
If you remove the photos and then backup again with iCloud you also stand the chance of overwriting that backup that has the photos in it with a backup that includes none of the photos at all. Then you would have no photos to restore anyway.
If you imported the photos to the Mac using this method, you can safely delete the photos from the iPad without worrying about them being deleted from the Mac.

After you import the photos you can delete them from the iPad, If you import using iPhoto, you will be asked if you want to delete them from the device after the photos are transfer to the Mac.

Can I retreive deleted photos from Ipad?

My daughter got her new Ipad 2 yesterday and accidently deleted all of her photos which she had just uploaded from her camera. Her camera flash drive data was also deleted in the process. Is there any way to get the photos back from the Ipad?

Your post is a bit ambiguous. Did she delete the photos from her iPad or her camera or both?
If the photos are still on the iPad then the iPad can be attached to your computer and the photos uploaded (for example to iPhoto). The iPad has a copy of the raw images from the camera.

To transfer your photos:
Transfer and erase the Camera Roll:
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture.
Select your iPad in the Devices list and click "Import all".
When the import finishes, you can erase the contents of the Camera Roll, if you want. That would be the quickest way, but deleting it on the iPad in the Photos.app would be safer, but more work.
Delete photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Delete the Photo Stream contents:
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

I have experienced great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and synced with computer and iTunes and deleted from computer and then synced again but managed to get hundreds more unwanted photos.

I have had great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and connected to computer and iTunes but cannot find anywhere to click on delete I also deleted photos fro computer and synced again and then found hundreds of more photos on iPad which were unwanted at the same time I lost a film I had purchased from iTunes and The soundtrack of film from iPod

Photos that were synced from your computer you should be able to delete by movin/removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (or de-selecting the whole folder if you want to remove the entire album from the iPad).
Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - 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 in thumbnail view. They should also appear in Windows Explorer on PC where you can delete them, and in iPhoto on a Mac you can delete them after importing.

I would like to know how I can delete sync photos from my ipad as I have tried everything to delete them as they are unwanted and it was a first time try

I am having problems deleting unwanted photos from my photos app on my ipad, I synced with my pc as i wanted to see how the system worked, and now i cannot delete any of them, even with the delete button at the top left hand side, which does not function

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

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?
