Deleting Photos on ipad without syncing to itunes

I have an ipad, I have pics that were synced from a computer which crash and I do not have any more - how do I delete those images from my ipad -

You cannot delete those photos without removing them using iTunes or unless you totally erase the iPad using Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.

  • Is there a way to import photos to iPad without syncing to iTunes?

    I have pictures on my MacBook Pro that my friend would like to have on her iPad. There are A LOT of pictures. I have read the article about syncing photos via iTunes. In that article, it says that "syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device." Deleting current photos on her iPad is not an option. Emailing the photos and then saving them on the Ipad would take too long.
    Is there a way (other than emailing or syncing the iPad via iTunes) to get thoes pictures from my MacBook Pro to her iPad?

    Yes there is. Use iCloud Photo Stream. You can share up to 1,000 photos in one album, up to 100 albums with up to 100 people per album.
    You must first make sure you have iCloud Photo Sharing switched on in iPhoto.
    1. iPhoto Preferences > iCloud > Photo Sharing (check box ticked)
    2. Create an Album with the photos of your friend (up to 1,000 photos)
    3. Follow instuctions from this Apple Help link to "Create a shared photostream" http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#phtf7fe6394
    4. Your friend will receive an invitation to accept your shared photostream and once accepted all the photos will appear on your friends iPad.

  • How do I delete photos in iPad not currently in ITunes?

    I'm doing this for wife who has iPad, (1st gen; not new iPad 2). When she got it she wanted, "her photos," from her computer in her iPad. Happy to accomodate, I managed to load all 3,000 photos from her Nikon Picture Project software into her iPad. Now she does not want that many and I've been trying for a month to delete all of them. They are not in iTunes or I'd uncheck them there and re-synch, which, I'm told would wipe them out.
    I simply don't know how to delete them.
    Can anyone help? Thanks,
    Dennis

    HERE IS THE ANSWER: Use your Mac computer and open the "Preview" application. 1. Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone).
    2. Open the application named "Preview" on your Mac (Click on the Macintosh HD icon or open the Finder application and search for the application named "Preview," then click on the application to open it. Or look under Macintosh HD > Applications > Preview.)
    2. In the Preview application toward the very top of your screen, click File > Import From Camera (then click on the name of your iPad or iPhone)...
    3. Near the lower left corner of the Preview application, click on the icon with the four tiny squares. That will give you a better view of all of your pictures.
    4. Select the pictures you want to delete.
    5. Click on the red delete icon at the bottom of the screen. (Looks like a red circle with a slash through it.) That will delete the pictures. 
    This works for iPhone, but not iPad.  No pictures show up in preview as they do with iPhone.
    BTW, Command/Click, as usual, allows multiple photo selections and then click Delte button to delete many photos. 
    Too bad this doesn't work for iPad.

  • Delete photos from iPad without iTunes.

    How does the photo let you do this?

    Not possible with photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete photos from the iPad that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process is via the iTunes sync process - except for erasing all data and settings from your iPad.

  • I need to delete photos from iPad without accessing original computer

    I have an iPad 4 and an iPhone 4S. I need to delete photos on my iPad which were sync'd several years ago with an old Mac and I can no longer sync it.  How do I make this happen?  The photos I need to delete will not let me delete them.   So frustrating!

    Do you have a Mac you can connect the iPad to?  If so then launch Image Capture, connect the iPad and try to delete those photos with IC.

  • Is there any way to recover deleted photos, etc after a sync?  iTunes didn'

    let me say I hate that Apple software tends to give a button to push w/o options or other vital information. It's an example of making things too simple.
    I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone. I'm most wanting my photos back. I've tried downloading 3rd party data-recovery software, but it never seems to find the iPhone like it finds external cards or cameras.
    Please, Please, is there some app that will work to recover deleted photos? And I think I will never trust Apple software again!

    I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone.
    It is not possible to sync one iPhone with another.
    You can transfer the backup for an older or existing iPhone to a new iPhone but doing so does not touch or delete anything off the older or existing iPhone. There is no device limit for the number of iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer and each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone.
    Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Photos in the Camera Roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete all photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll is by using the iPhone's Erase All Content and Settings option, or by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If you restore the iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, the photos that were in the Camera Roll would be restored along with all other data that is included with the backup.
    Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone that is synced with iTunes on the same computer and it is impossible to sync one iPhone direct with another iPhone.

  • Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

    I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3  from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc.  I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • 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.

  • Does iCloud back up photos, and can I view iPhone pictures on my iPad without syncing camera rolls?

    I know this question may have been asked but please bear with me:
    I have a iPhone 4S ( 16 GB ) and a iPad Air ( 32 GB ). Most of my photos are taken on my iPhone and I can view these photos on my iPad via the Photo Stream (which I know will only display photos for 30 days). I wanted to delete some photos off my iPhone to make room, but how can I still view these photos on the iPad without syncing my iPhones's camera roll to the iPad. Shouldn't iCloud be keeping these photos (and I heard that photos, music and maybe documents don't take up iCloud space, just other non-iTunes stuff count towards iCloud storage space but I don't know if that's right).
    I just wants to know how iCloud works because what is the point of downloading other iOS devices' camera rolls onto my iPad and then risk my iPad runningout. Of space. Wouldn't I just run into the same problem? I thought iCloud would backup photos so if they were to be deleted off one iOS device, it can still be accessed on another iOS device (something like a Photo Stream but I ninnies it only lasts 30 days).

    Hey! I am moving from icloud backup to itunes backup and i have not checked photos, contacts(see 1st image below) to sync to itunes. And on my phone in settings under icloud photos, contacts, notes and other stuff are selected(see 2nd image below). Does this mean i am backing up apps(and app data), music, settings to itunes but photos are still backed up to icloud. If not what should i do to back up my photos?
    Could you please help me with this i am a little confused. Thanks!

  • I can't delete a photo album that was synced on iTunes.

    I can't delete a photo album that was synced on iTunes.  I deselected all photo albums to sync on iTunes and the albums are still on my iPad.  I did a search for this issue and a suggestion was loading some other software onto my PC to delete them.  I'm not sure I want to do that.  The album is stuck on my iPad and iPad Mini. 

    Are these folders that are no longer on the computer? I see you unchecked the albums, but the sync did not change things. Try this:
    In the folder where you have your pictures, create a new folder and leave it empty. Deselect all folders to sync except that one. It should remove everything else from the phone except that one folder, and since it is empty, there should be no photos left except the Camera Roll. Then you can Deselect that empty folder and sync and you should no longer have any photos synced to the device.

  • 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?

    I am in America for vacation and I want to update my iPad without loosing my music and some big PDFs that can't be transferred in my new laptop. When I click update I will loose these files?

Plz help... I am not good with iTunes and syncing and very often I delete my data on iOS device...

    Ok! I'll be waiting... Thank you very much for the reply, i though a restore from backup includes music etc... And i was ready to click update... Thanxxxx! When i return back to Greece maybe iOS 5 will be available, so i will go right from 4.3.3 to 5.0... I need patience! Thanx again.

  • How do i delete photos on iPad?

    how do i delete photos on iPad?  i cannot delete ohotos in the photos folder of the ipad?  i took the photos using the iphone, they synced with the ipad and imac thourhg icloud, but they will not delete on the ipad.  i have been succesful lin the deleting them on the iphone and imac, but the ipad will not allow me to delete them!

    Your terminology is a little confusing.
    If you "synced" the iPad with iCloud - to me that means that you use Photo Stream and that the photos are in the Photo Stream album of the iPad, if they are in the Photo Stream - you can select the photo in Photo Stream and tap the Edit button - and then delete the photo. It will delete that photo on all devices from the Photo Stream.
    If you "synced" the photo to the iPad via iTunes, then Diavonex post above will answer your question. But you could not have synced the photo to the iPad via iTunes without importing it to your computer or dragging it from the Photo Stream folder in iPhoto - then onto the desktop - and then place it into one of the folders in iPhoto that you include in your sync.
