Deleting photo files from iPhone 4s

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS8 the photo app has changed.
There's all kinds of different files all called something with "from My Mac"
I can't delete the files OR the pictures inside the files and this is really annoying. I just want 1 single file with all my pictures, that's all.
In iTunes when I click on Photos when my iPhone is connected I have deselected the "sync photos from" and clicked delete photos but they're all still there.
How the **** do I get rid of these stupid files and pictures?!
It's not even pictures I've taken with my iPhone. It's just random pictures from my macbook.

Hi just cross posting here:
How do I delete my iPhoto library on my iPhone and just have photostream?

Is it possible to transfer photos, files from iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth?

Before I got the iphone 5s, I was using a Nokia phone. I was able to transfer photos, files from my Nokia phone to macbook pro via bluetooth connections. It was very simple and POSSIBLE (even though apple support staff said it was not possible to do so). My macbook pro does NOT need to be paired with Nokia phone as long as it can DISCOVER the nokia phone and vice versa.
Hence, after i got the iphone 5s recently, I'd expected both devices (iphone 5s and macbook pro) to communicate and connect via bluetooth as easily as Nokia phone. However, I was disappointed to find out the iphone 5s kept "searching" for discoverable device even though my macbook DISCOVERED the iphone!! Thus, I was NOT able to transfer any files from these two devices.
Any apple technical people care to explain why BOTH are apple products cant work? A Nokia phone and macbook can. Very strange, isn't it?

Althought,you can use bluetooth to transfer photos,files from iPhone to Macbook,However,it is so slowly,if you want to quickly copy photos/files from iPhone to Mac,you can use tools or software to help you,such as iStonsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer,This is a very professional tool,Hope this helps!

How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

How to delete the files from iPhone before selling?

How do I delete the files from my old iPhone4 before selling?

Hey adhot,
Before selling your iPhone, you'll want to follow these directions:
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you have removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you are using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner.
When the device is turned on for the first time by the new owner, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your iCloud devices.

When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

How to delete photos/pics from iPhone 3G???

Please help. I am at a loss. How do you delete photos/pics (that you uploaded) from iPhone 3G??? I see no delete button, no trash button or anything that would instruct me to remove the photo?
Thanks.

You can delete photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll only and only one at a time.
Photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this or the Image Capture application. After the import is complete, both applications include an option to erase all photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can delete select photos.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted on or from your iPhone. You can remove any or all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the same way they were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.

Help! Need to prove I DIDN'T delete photo(s) from iPhone, could save me from jail. How can I do this? Thanks for any help, I'm innocent and need to show this.

This could save me from jail. I need to prove that I DIDNT delete one or more photos from my iphone. Is there a hidden numbering system that will show if some are missing? Here's what happened:
I went from point A to point B, and I took photos at both places. I was arrested for allegedly taking a detour in between A and B to take one or more photos on my iPhone, which I did NOT. The sequence of photos on my iPhone shows this (photos from A and then B with nothing in between), but my false accuser will just claim I deleted the ones in between (to have me imprisoned falsely. long story).
I am innocent and I'm hoping my iPhone can prove that. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Oh, and I haven't synced the phone since this happened, if that's an issue.

A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates. Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1. It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos. You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available. You can arrange photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available. When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe.
A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.

Is it possible to recover a deleted (unsynced) file from iphone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s 5.1. I deleted a file yesterday and I would like to recover it from the flash drive.
I know that files can be recovered from flash drives! I have done it before. Unfortunately the software I used before will not recognise the iPhone as a drive of any kind flash, external or hard!
I have not synced the phone either by iCloud or physically to my PC since deleting, so recovery is not possible via iTunes.
I have a PC so I am unable to use 3rd party software such that only works on MACs (disc drill for example)
What I am getting at is, can it be done? I am not sure it can unless it is possible for my PC to see the iPhones flash drive as a PC recognisable (for want of a better word) flash drive!
I have also tired other 3rd party software that CLAIMS it can recover lost/deleted files from an iPhone but guess what…….. Yep, all of them are unable to see the flash drive of my phone.
So, is there a PC owner out there that has successfully recovered a deleted files from an iPhone?

I want to know if you have backed up those files to iCloud before? If you did, you can just connect your iPhone 6 with the computer which have FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery software and scan your iPhone to find out iCloud backups.
iPhone Data Recovery can recover deleted photos, videos, messages, contacts, call history, notes, etc. from iTunes & iCloud. You can restore iPhone from iCloud quickly. Hope you can solve this issue.

Deleting photo file from hard drive

Hello,
I would like to be able to delete items (photos) from both the iPhoto library and my hard drive, but I don't seem to be able to. After I delete items from the iPhoto library, the files are still on the hard drive... (I did empty the trash and I did delete the items from the Library folder)
Note: I just started using iPhoto. I already had a large (?) (9000+ items) library of photos that I keep on an external firewire hard drive. I did not use the "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" function, because a) I didn't want to wait for the system to copy all 9000 images, b) my internal hard drive isn't really big enough to store all these images and c) I'd like to keep using other software (Photoshop, stich software, etc.) to view, open and edit my images.
I like using iPhoto, it seems faster than what I've been using and I like the clean interface, but if I can't use iPhoto to both view and delete images it might not be the software I'm looking for...
My apologies if this question has been answered prior - I just searched and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for all help!

Unfortunately the "Show File" or "Show Original File" command doesn't seem to work when more than one file is selected... (the program just points to one of the selected files). Is there a workaround?
No, I think you'll need to do it one at a time.
How would I specify more than one external application (e.g. Photoshop and a panorama stitching app)
No, you won't be able to set up more than one app at a time. The obvious one being to set up Photoshop. What I would do is export the pics for stitching and then import the resulting image as a new image - but that's just me.
Saving an additional file is as simple either duplicating in iPhoto or using Save As in Photoshop and the importing the new file.
You can download with Image Capture (in your Applications folder) and rename files with a batch renamer such as File List. iPhoto has no facility to rename files except on export as filenames are quite irrelevant within iPhoto. You can, of course, apply titles in iPhoto.
As you say, perhaps the app is not for you - it's not right for everybody in every situation.

Deleting Photo Library from iPhone 4 - Help!

Help! I can't figure out how to delete the Photo Library from my iPhone 4. Here is what I did:
I was using my sister's Mac and downloaded some photos she took from her iPhoto onto my iPhone 4. Now I can see the photos on my phone in a new folder called "Photo Library." But there isn't an option to delete the photos like there is with the Camera Roll folder.
When I hook the phone up to my own Mac, the photos don't appear in iPhoto so I can't delete them there.
When I hook the phone up to my PC, the PC doesn't seem to think the photos are there either.
When I open the phone with iTunes, the Photo Library folder doesn't appear in the folder options so I can't "unsync" the folder.
Yet they sure are taking up a lot of space on my phone!!! I feel like they are permanently stuck on my phone now. My sister lives far away so I can't just plug my phone into her computer again.
Will restoring the phone finally get rid of the Photo Library? I can do this as a last resort but only if I know it will fix the problem. Thank you!

Use iTunes.
Under the Photos tab, choose Sync Photos from and then from the dropdown select choose folder...
Create a new empty folder by selecting New folder and click Open
Then Apply and Sync.
That should do it. At least it did for me

Deleting photo's from iphone

How do I stop deleted photo files from restoring themselves?

I've had this problem since Mountain Lion: I will delete image files (JPG and PNG) just to have them reapear a few days later in Finder. I've tried "Secure Empty Trash" but they still come back. I thought it might be Time Machine restoring the files, so I unplugged my USB hard drive that it backs up to only to find the files are still coming back. Please help!

If you're syncing, you have to unselect the photos you no longer wish to sync, and they won't show up on your phone anymore.
