Deleting photos NOT in Camera Roll

I cannot seem to delete photos that I have synced to the new 3G (not sure if there is a difference from the older iPhone).
I synced some photos and then realized it would be better to just have an "iPhone photos" folder on my computer. Now I want to delete those old photos off the iPhone. I have deselected that old folder in iTunes, but that does not remove them.
What else can I do?
With all apologies to the regular users here, I do not visit that often. If it is not too much trouble, please post here and email to [email protected]
Thanks.

You will need to sync the phone again after you deselect the photos you don't want.
Also it is not a good idea to post your emails in these forums as you will get loads of spam if you do.

How to delete photos not in camera roll?

The only way to delete photos NOT in the camera roll is to sync the phone with those photos deselcted.
@iLikeCheesyStuff: The photo stream photos are in the camera roll as well. The OP is referring to photos synced to his phone, which can't be deleted directly on the phone.

If I delete photos from my camera roll will I lose them from the cloud as well?

If I delete photos from my camera roll will they be deleted from my cloud as well?

No, photos in photo stream are not effected by deleting photos from your camera roll. However, while photo stream photos are not deleted from your phone after they are in your photo stream album, photos older than 30 days are deleted from photo stream. These means if you ever turn photo stream off, or connect a new device to photo stream, only photos added in the last 30 days will be available to download. To keep them permanently, import your camera roll photos to your computer before deleting them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

How do I delete photos from my Camera roll in iOS 7

I have over 1,000 photos in my iPhone Camera Roll. I would like to delete all the photos in the Camera Roll. How do I do this efficiently in iOS 7?

Hi mikeschumann,
Of course you can delete photos from your Camera Roll:
Go into your photos app and select the Camera Roll album
Click on Select at the top right of the screen
Select the photos you want to delete
Click on the Trash can at the bottom of the screen
Just remember, if you have not imported those photos into a photo app on a computer, they will be permanently deleted. You may have them on an iCloud backup, but each backup you do has only the image of the current state of your device. So, if the 1000 photos have been backed up in the last iCloud backup you do, then you delete them, and do another iCloud backup, that backup will not have those photos. Then, say, you take another 100 new photos, and back up to iCloud. That backup will have the most recent 100 photos, but not the 1000 previously backed up.
So, your best bet is to import them to your photo app on your computer, and then select delete photos from device when asked.
Cheers,
GB

Is there a way to recover deleted photos from your Camera Roll?

Is there a way to recover deleted photos from your Camera Roll?

If ou have been importing them to your computer regularly as the iphone is desgned then they will be on your computer.
You may be able to restore from backup if they were there when you last synced.

How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
Please, help me!

I finally got up with a solution.
All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

What is the best way to delete photos selectively from camera roll.

I have thousands of photos on my camera roll. I do know you can select individual photos to delete off the roll and you can select more than one at a time but is there a better way? I keep hoping there would be a way to select groups of photos from my camera roll while my phone is connected to my macbook pro through iphoto. I was told you are only able to delete photos on your phone via your phone basically one at a time.

I import the photos from my iphone onto my macbook pro but I like having many of them on my phone to share at will etc.. I'm not sure how image capture will help me to delete many photos at one time quickly off my phone as opposed to the only way I know which is to select each photo, selecting as many as I like on the phone itself and deleting. It just seems one could do this via the macbook pro with the phone attached much easier.

How do I back up my photo stream album photos (not in camera roll) to USB?

Is their a way I can directly save my photo stream to my computer? I have deleted many pictures from my camera roll and wish to keep photos in their respective photostream albums as there are over a thousand! The only way I can seem to do it is to save the pictures back to my camera roll and back up to USB as normal but that then duplicates any photos I haven't deleted in the camera roll?! Help!

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 device. Just select the photo you want to remove and tap or click 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.
Note: Deleting individual photos from Photo Stream is supported by iOS 5.1 or later, iPhoto 9.2.2 or later, Aperture 3.2.3 or later, and Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later. You will need to manually delete photos you downloaded to iOS devices running iOS 5.0.1 or earlier after updating to iOS 5.1.
The photos you want to keep, back them up on your comp or on another drive

How do I delete pictures not in camera roll

How do I delete pictures previously synced to icloud, but no longer in my camera roll?
(I want to get a new phone and transfer only the pictures currently on my iphone 4S camera roll)
I'd like to avoid having to delete all pictures I've taken when information is transferred to my new phone.
I currently have the icloud settings turned off, however I have had icloud on in the past which has
many pictures I no longer want.
How do I login to icloud on my pc?

Hi bckop,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can import the pictures and video currently on your iPhone (camera roll) to your computer. Then you can manually sync with iTunes to copy only the images you want to your iPhone. If you don't want the images in your Photo Stream to appear on your iPhone and PC, you can turn Photostream off in your iCloud settings. You can also delete images from your Photo Stream that you no longer want.
Here are a few articles to help you with this:

Deleting photos out of camera roll leaves black spaces where pics used to b

Only happens on my iPhone 4. 3GS with os4 it doesn't.
Any ideas
For info they do disappear if u sync in iTunes.

You don't have to sync it or turn your phone off to get it to go away (one of which is annoying and the other is inconvenient). All you do is go back out of the camera roll, close the app, then open the multitask tray and delete Photos or Camera (you know by holding until they jiggle) and when you go back in to the apps, they are fixed.

Iphone and photos not on camera roll

Hello All,
I hope you can help me ..
So our EVP of sales has a home IMAC and it was failing so he he synchronized his Iphone to grab all his pictures off of Iphoto to his Iphone.
Now he has them all on his iphone but now he wants to put them back on his iphoto on his macbook pro or new IMAC.
any thoughts , i know when i plug his phone into his macbook it only lets me move his pictures form his camera roll and nothing else , if I click the sync feature in itunes it wants to update and hes afraid the iphoto will over write his iphone and he will lose all his pictures.
Thoughts , suggestions

The sync/transfer process for photos from a computer to an iPhone is a one way transfer process ONLY - from the computer to the iPhone, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
Photos transferred from a computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as the first step during the iTunes sync/transfer process for this data - the original resolution of these photos is reduced.
Has the home iMac completely failed yet? If no, he needs to use an external drive for transferring these photos - he can copy the iPhoto Library folder and place the folder in the same location on his MBP with iPhoto quit when doing so.
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.

My iPhone 4S hangs (gets stuck or unresponsive) when deleting photos from the camera roll or use Messages app

I am now on my third replacement phone from Apple because of this issue. My iPhone 4S frequently hangs (gets stuck), without response, when I click on the trash icon to delete a photo, for about 20-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. I notice that this problem of freezing happens also when I use my Messages app for texts. There is no crash that occurs because the app responds after hanging for some time, therefore does not create a crash report to be sent to Apple. I never had this problem on my iPhone 4, and truly regret upgrading to the new device. I bought this phone for the faster processor, however I ended up with a device that is much slower and unresponsive. At the instruction of the multiple geniuses at the Apple store, I've restored the phone numerous times and set it up as a new device to no avail, and have lost app data every time. I've had three different phones now, and the genius cannot resolve my issue. they've even done what's called a DFU mode restore to restore the device firmware, yet no fix. Is anyone having similar issues? I'm starting to think its a software issue, although the apple store kept replacing my phone with a "remanufactured phone" even though I was within the 30 day return period. When I asked to get a new phone from the box, they told me it couldn't be done since I had my device replaced with a repair model already.

I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

How do you delete photos from the Camera roll without losing duplicates in Albums?

Please help thanks!

Correct, they are only links, not separate copies. At the moment you can't directly on an iPad, albums that you create directly on it only contain links, not actual photos. You could copy the photos to your computer, organise them on there, and then sync those albums back - or you could use a third-party photo app such as the Photo Manager Pro app that I linked to in your other thread
