Deleting multiple photos off iphone

I know that we have the option to delete photos off iPhone after we import into iPhoto... but sometimes I want to keep some on my phone so I don't choose the delete option. Unfortuantely, I am left with having to go through each photo and erase them one by one... has anyone come up with a way to delete multiple photos off the iPhone once you've chosen not to delete them immediately after importing them? Cannot understand why this hasn't/wouldn't have come up... it seems like an obvious need. They managed to simplify the email deleting situation, why not photos?

Putting photos back on iPhone... If you want some photos back on your iPhone, what I do is email them to myself then open the email on my iPhone, a have select save the images...
If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera including from your iPhone and for storing all photos on your Mac, you can create an iPhoto album or multiple albums. Place the photos from your iPhoto library in the designated iPhoto album that you want transferred to your iPhone.
Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto.
Choose Selected Albums and then select the iPhoto albums that you want transferred to your iPhone. Select Apply followed by syncing.
If you want to transfer additional photos to your iPhone, place the photos in an iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. Or create a new iPhoto album for select photos. For any photos that you want removed from your iPhone, remove the photos from the iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
All photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process will be stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, and the separate iPhoto albums selected to be transferred will also be available below.
You can view photos available in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos available on all albums by selecting Photo Library.
The same applies to iTunes Playlists for music.

    I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

    If you have deleted all the photos from your iPhone you can't get them back.  The only place they might exist is if you backed them up to iPhoto if you have a Mac.  If you have iCloud and Photo Steam enabled, then the last 100 photos would be saved in your Photo Stream.

  • 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.

    To delete multiple photos at once:
    Tap Select, select the photos or videos you want to delete, then tap.

  • How do I delete multiple photos from library?

    Hi All
    On my iphone - how do I delete multiple photos from the library without having to do 1 at a time?
    Thanks

    In the album, tap on the little forward arrow in the upper right corner. From there you can tap as many photos as you'd like, and at the bottom, you'll have the options to Share, Copy, Add To, or Delete.

  • How do I delete multiple photos from the Camera Roll?

    How do I delete multiple photos from camera roll without doing it one at a time?

    Thanks for your posts on this - it's something I've been wondering about, too.
    I do agree with Bonzo that it seems strange that there isn't a way to do it *efficiently* without having to hook the iPad to a computer.
    I know there is an alternative: in other words, you're right, Lawrence - it is possible to delete multiple files at once by following your instructions (i.e. tapping on each photo once, etc.) - but if you want to delete lots of photos, it takes ages to tap on every one of them.
    Does anyone else out there know of a way to delete multiple photos on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch without having to tap on each photo separately, or having to hook up to a computer?
    I'd be really grateful for any help on this. Thanks!

  • HT204022 I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    I want to delete my pictures off iPhone because I want to free up space on the Phone. I have the pics on iCloud on my computer in my pics fdlder. I do not want to delete off computer, will it?

    Open the iCloud control panel on your computer and click "Options" next to "Photo Stream". The pictures must not be copied into either of the folders listed, any other folder is fine.
    Before you delete all the photos from your phone I would recommend that you only delete one, at first, to check that it is not deleted from your computer.

  • How can I delete multiple photos at once from the official Photos app?

    Dear fellow Apple users,
    I have many pictures on my Camera Roll in Apple's Photos app. What's the quickest way to delete multiple photos at once?
    Thus far, I know how to delete photos one by one, but that's time-consuming.
    Thank you.

    No not box with arrow, that is share button.  Edit is where it shows in the pic I posted

  • In Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?

    In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?   Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user.  Thank you.

    Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

  • How to delete multiple contacts in iphone 5s

    Is there an easy way to delet multiple contacts on iphone 5s annd 5c. I can delete them one at a time, but wondered if theres a way to do some of them but not all.

    No, there's no mass delete or partial mass delete option.
    If these are iCloud based contacts, you may find it easier to go to www.icloud.com and delete them there.

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

    How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

    1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
    2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
    3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos  select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first

  • My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device.  The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream.  How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

    My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device.  The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream.  How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

    When did this deletion happen?  Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer.  With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).
