Deleting over 1000 images on iPhone

I am trying to delete over 1000 photos on my iPhone.  I tried with image capture in apps, but an error occurs while importing.  it won't import or delete because go error.  what next?

I have tried it. Created a blank folder in the picture library folder, synched it to this folder, but still,
all my images show up on the iPhone. I wish it was as simple as dragging the created albums to the trash and ...The trash can icon is actually present when one deals with pictures taking with the iPhone it is a different story for images originating from a different device. Any more thoughts??I have a 4GB iPhone but now it is practically full

  • Aperture busy for 3 days trying to import over 1000 images

    I am trying to import over 1000 images, and Aperture is showing busy with the colorful dial since 3 days ago.
    How can I check the import log to ensure it is busy working and not stuck?

    First, sign out of MobileMe from your System Preferences, the "Mobile Me" tab.
    Press the "Sign out" button.
    Then launch Aperture again. If you still see the "MobileMe" panel, press the "Learn More" button, not the o.k. button. Ignore the web page tat will open.
    In Aperture go to the File menu > Web Accounts > Edit Web Accounts.
    Delete the MobileMe account.
    Now you should be able to find the project (partially) downloaded from Mobile Me in the Library Inspector panel. This will have MobileMe in the name. Trash it.

  • I need to delete over 1000 emails from my IPhone 6 and the previous suggestions don't work. Any ideas?

    How to I go about deleting all of these emails. Previous suggestion with using the move feature isn't working.

    Contact your carrier. VoiceMail is a feature managed by the carrier and not the iPhone.

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • Deleting all images from iPhone (ios 6.1.4)

    I am currently trying to delete all the images from my phone to clear space for other applications.
    (Transferring them to my computer was an excruciating process and actually forced me to purchase an external program, but I digress.)
    I can't delete photos at all in the iPhone photos app. Going edit > select photo > delete causes the Photos app to crash every time. This happens whether I have selected one or more than one photos. I have restarted the app (double tap home button and delete the app from the fold-up menu) several times, but the problem recurs when I try again. In any case, I have over 37,000 photos so this would be a horribly inefficient way to do it.
    Key things to note
    1) I only have Windows 7 on my PC. Therefore, I cannot use any mac related programs like iPhoto to mass delete images.
    2) Windows explorer is unable to consistently recognize my iPhone. I have gone into device manager many times and reinstalled the driver, and attempted other fixes I found off of Google, but alas for past several months I have not been able to get it to recognize the iPhone as a camera or as anything at all. As of recent weeks, the iPhone does not even show up in the list of external devices plugged into the computer regardless of driver reinstallation, and only my external HDD appears.
    3) Back in the past when the Autoplay window did show up, there was never an option to import pictures and videos- furthermore, selecting the sole 'open device to view files' simply showed me a series of blank folders in my iPhone.
    At that time, I already had had my settings set to show hidden files and folders, so I was mystified that windows explorer insisted no files were present in the folders when there were quite obviously photos on my phone.
    I am unable to import photos using windows explorer. As such, this fix cannot be used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    I am very disappointed at how nonfunctional the interaction between Windows and Apple devices has become. In the past, I was able to import pictures from my iphone 4S this same PC using windows explorer's autoplay popup, and it is sad that this is unsupported with the  iPhone 5.
    4) iTunes, which is on the same computer, does recognize the iPhone. I can sync perfectly fine.
    5) Very few of the images have been imported from my computer. Most of them were taken or saved on the phone itself, so removing sync of photos from the sync process doesn't do anything.
    6) There are no photos on Photo Stream or Photo Library, because I only recently found out about these features (1-2 days ago researching solutions). All 37,000+ photos are in Camera roll. This means that I cannot turn off Photo stream and have the pictures disappear like in this fix. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5099543?start=0&tstart=0
    Given all of this information and my limitation in options, how do I delete all of the images on my phone efficiently?

    Incidentally, restoring the phone to factory settings is not a viable solution because I have a lot of apps, notes and other material which I do not wish to lose and would not be stored in a backup.

  • My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

    Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

    Copying files works OK, but not moving.  It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this. 
    I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself.  Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet.  They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

  • My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500  images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

    my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
    In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

    Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
    You delete these pica the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Deselect them in itunes and sync.

  • Iphoto no longer deletes the images from iPhone 5s after import.

    I have the latest version of IOS, and iPhoto.  Now, when I connect my iPhone 5s and import the photos and select the delete all that was imported option the photos on the iPhone are NOT deleted.
    Everything is stock apple software.  Not jail broken, or any sketchy software installed.  All updates are installed immediately.  Has anyone experienced this problem?
    Ben.

    The short answer:
    You're wrong.  Either the software is malfunctioning and is suffering from a critic bug, or the Hardware is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.  Everything is under warranty so it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as the issue is resolved.
    I just want to find out how many other users are experiencing this issue and help narrow it down before I report it to Apple.
    The long answer:
    Hi,
    I'm a CSEE engineer with with a background in QE/QA. It's literally my job to define exactly what a piece of software and hardware products is supposed to do.
    I validate the design of products, and verify the functionality of the product. For the record I do not work for Apple, and my employer is not affiliated with Apple in any way. Your answer blew me away!  LOL.
    Wow.  Where to start? Any answer is not better than none.
    Your answer is completely wrong and it's dangerous because your kind of answer will discourage regular people from asking questions on this forum. It sounds like it's coming form a professional and it sounds decisive, definitive, and final.  Almost like an edict! LOL.  Unfortunately it's also completely incorrect. That's the only reason I felt compelled to respond to your response.

    is a ridiculous answer.
    I am saying that as both an engineer with an extensive experience in QA/QE, as well as a lay person who prefers to to use Apple products. Software and hardware should perform as designed and as expected. Apple software and hardware usually does exactly that. When it doesn't it gets fixed very quickly as long as it's reported.
    You' don't trust Apple software and hardware to behave as expected? Why buy Apple then if you have such a low opinion of the reliability, design, and quality assurance of their products? It's the most expensive hardware in the market in it's class; so it's definitely not the "bargain" factor.
    I buy Apple products because they perform as expected, have a superior intuative user interface, and it is all backed by solid customer service. This is the first time in years that I've had to deal with such a glaring malfunction. Somehow in jumping from Mavericks to YosemiteI, and IOS 7.x to  IOS 8.x somehow the ball got dropped and I just want to know if this is a "one in a million case," or is it a more common bug before I report it to Apple. Either way it will be reported.
    I am using two Apple products together and using Apple branded software designed specifically for those products on top of that. It's a MacBook pro, an iPhone 5s, and I'm using Apple's iPhoto as the interface. You actually said:
    Terence Devlin wrote:
    ... Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card or Phone. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then erase the data.
    2. You can erase the photos from your Phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)
    So first you say specifically to "never use iPhoto to delete photos."  An app that was specifically designed by Apple for this purpose. Then you up the ante and and add "or any other app." But then step 2 you reverse yourself completely and say "use image capture" to erase photos. Why trust one Apple software, And distrust another? Why not trust the one designed for the purpose? Is it an article of faith? LOL.
    I don't know if you ever noticed this; but, when you connect your iPhone to your MacBook, OSX automatically launches iPhoto as the de facto standard app for dealing with imports and deleting images from your iPhone.  Yes you can customize that; but, the default factory standard is iPhoto. This has been the case for years, and it has worked flawlessly until now.
    To advise people to not trust the app designed by Apple for Apple Products to do the work it was designed to do is funny to say the least.
    The expected behavior of iPhoto is that imported images to the MacBook should be deleted when I tell the software to delete images. When the software tells me that it is deleting images and then I find out that it did not; that is a bug, and critical one at that. Major software functionality is being affected and the software is not behaving as designed, advertised, or expected.
    I verified the bug by:
    1- Saying no to the delete option at import time,
    2- verified that the images have been imported.
    3- disconnected and reconnected the iPhone.
    4- When iPhoto informs me that all images have already been imported. I choose the option to delete images that have already been imported.
    5- IPhoto still fails to delete the images.
    I'm able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time. I want to know if others are experiencing this behavior.
    Where did you ever get the idea that malfunctioning software, or software that is not performing according to design is a "Good" thing or that a bug is not a bug; but, a desirable feature?
    From a lay person's perspective, the dialog box box in the iPhoto "import" function clearly states that import was successful, and asks if the user wishes to delete the photos that have been already imported.  This is the way iPhoto has always worked ever since my iPhone 3gs days. 
    The fact that the iPhotos app asks if you want want the pictures that were just imported DELETED from your iPhone means the expected software and hardware behavior is that the photos that were already imported should be deleted and the storage freed for others uses.  Having to use third-party software is not a real workaround or even desirable. There is something wrong with either the iPhone hardware, iPhoto software, OS X Yosemite, Or IOS 8.1.2. Any one of these issues is important enough that it should be looked at.
    I need to zero in on the cause, and have Apple fix it. It could hardware or software issue.  It could be just me, or hundreds, or thousands of people. Everything I have is under warranty so the repair is free and it is expected. I have been able to consistently reproduce this error and I want to know how widespread this problem is.
    The reason I buy Apple products at a higher premium instead of alternative brands such as Samsung, or Sony, or LG is the Apple reliability and user experience. If as a user I don't report a bug; then over the long-term, that reliability and user experience is going to degrade. I'm not investigating this as an "Apple" hater; but, as a supporter and an enthusiast. Finding out how widespread the problem is would help Apple out. When I'm on the solving end of this kind of an equation; I know I would appreciate all the information that I can get.
    On a more personal level, this bug has already negatively affected my user experience. Recently we were visiting a national Park, I took hundreds of pictures, dozens of videos, and I dutifully imported them into my laptop that night and I elected to delete what has been imported. I assumed that when iPhoto reported the pictures were deleted; that this was indeed the case. The next day we went to another national Park and only a third through the day my iPhone 5s reported that there was no more storage. I then had to then manually delete over 900 photos and videos.
    There is no batch delete in the iPhone "Photos" user app interface. I had to go into the iPhone "Photos" select menu, scroll through hundreds of photos. Find where I had imported the day before, and then delete well over 900 photos and videos manually by individually selecting each one and then clicking delete. It took over an hour.
    Yes, in the select dialog box you can select the multiple images and then click delete once; But, on a moving boat with all sorts of distractions this little exercise took an exceedingly long time. It also took my attention away from my family for well over an hour. I didn't see anything that I now can remember during that time and I couldn't interact with my family the way they deserved. I have no memories of that boat trip either in my brain, or on my camera because I was busy deleting. It wasn't by choice, I had to either do the deleting right then, or miss the show that was after the boat ride. I chose the lesser of two evils.
    The point of my little story is, that the boat ride with my family is an irrecoverable moment in time that is forever lost. It wasn't life-and-death, but it was precious and it is gone forever. There is no way to recover it. There are no time machines.  This simple bug, or hardware malfunction was the cause, and I want to make sure it doesn't happen to me, or anyone ever again.  That was the first time I experienced the bug.  Since then it has been the rule and not the exception.

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4

    hello guy's
    are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4
    note : i haven't make any copy of the photo in my pc so i relay need for them
    plz help

    The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera. Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP. If you didn't sync your iPhone with iTunes since these photos were captured by your iPhone and the photos in the Camera Roll weren't imported by your computer, the photos are gone.
    Depending on how wealthy you are, you can contact a data recovery service to see if they can recover deleted photos from an iPhone's flash drive, but you will pay an arm and a leg for this. Such a data recovery service is not cheap and with no guarantee the data will be recoverable.

  • HT1766 Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    I would guess it is that you do not have enough space.  For what, I have no idea, as you have done little to explain your issue.

  • How to delete photos that are "saved images" on iphone 5?

    No iCloud
    Win7 Professional
    iPhone says 1631 pix, 88 vids, and 12GB
    Camera roll says 773 photos, 9 vids
    iTunes says 1719 pix, along with 12 GB used
    I have individually deleted massive numbers of pix.  Not a problem; just can't get rid of the "remnants."
    For iTunes:  I set up an empty folder under My Pictures, sync/selected and applied, then unchecked sync and applied - nothing.
    I also set up a new folder with just the pix that I want on the phone, synced (selected that folder only), hoping to replace all content with those photos.  Nope.
    Most of my photos happen to be from emails or pictures that I have taken.
    Any suggestions will be gratefully considered.  Thanks in advance!!!  Going berserk here.

    Greetings desertrat8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have a lot of saved photos on your iPhone and would like to delete or remove them. Deleting them manually from your device is one way to accomplish this, but a more efficient way to remove them all would be to erase them after importing. The attached article explains how to import your photos to a Windows computer. After the import, you will be given a choice to keep or delete the photos on your iPhone that you have just imported to the computer. Please reference the attached article for further information.

  • Lost over 1000 pictures

    While transfering pictures from my iphone and at the same time up grading the phone A folder was created called "iPod Photo Cache"in my pictures folder and I wanted to know what exactly this was for. I have taken over 1000 photos with the iphone but it seemed to have trouble opening up so I I can not find my pictures any where and i'm hoping for they to be under this ipod photo cache. Is there a software to open up this files "ITHMB" and are these my pictures?
    Inside the main folder, there are a bunch of other folders, starting with F00, going all the way to F50 and inside this folder and about 12 files called "ITHMB" in each of them. Please assist to understand better...
    Thanks!!!

    iTunes converts every image to work on the iphone. It compresses them down and such to fit on the screen. Those files it creates is all the thumbnails and stuff for the images.
    If you delete them, you'll have to re-convert all of the images.
