Deletion of synced photos.

Hey guys, I just synced about 200 photos to my iPhone. Upon looking at them, I noticed that there are about 45 doubles, which of course I want off to save space. I noticed in the Photos section of my iPhone, you can delete pics taken with the camera with a simple tap of the trash icon, but how do I get rid of photos that I have synced that appear in the "Photo Library" tab?
This is definitely going to be a problem, especially if I had synced the 2,000 photos on my computer and decided I wanted to take them off tomorrow or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, on an unrelated note, I was just wondering if it is normal for iTunes to show the ringtone/bell column in my music library, along with the indication that the songs can be made into ringtones, even after I have disconnected my iPhone?

You need to adjust the photo synchronization options on the computer associated with that iPhone so that those photos aren't synced to the iPhone, and then sync the iPhone.

  • I can't delete my synced photos!

    I accidentally synced my computer photos to my phone and when I tried to delete them, while following apple care instructions, I got stuck when I wasn't able to press the selected folders button on my apple laptop while on iTunes, Please help

    Hey crbu,
    I think I speak for everyone when I say that we ALL have a love/hate relationship with our computers. lol!
    For your iTunes, is it the most recent version or the one before that, or earlier?
    Also, I tried adding a screen shot to help a bit but there is a reflection of the love/hate relationship happening from my computer to me.
    Under the Photos tab, where it gives you the option for:
    Sync Photos From (should be like the first thing you see on that screen; left hand side)
    is there a drop down menu there that gives you the option of Pictures or Choose folder?
    If not, this could potentially be the problem and you may have to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (I may be wrong with that doing that but honestly, that's what I would do), and see if that changes anything. If not, then you may need to contact Apple on this one, just cause it should give you the option to at least choose syncing either pictures or from a specific folder.
    I hope that helps in some way.
    If not, and you are able to find another way, make sure to update us here so we know what to do when that happens to us (cause odds are it will; lol).
    Good luck!

  • Deleting and Syncing Photos on iPhone doesn't work or is stuck

    I have around 3000 photos on my iPhone (all albums from Apterture synched via iTunes). I intend to delete all of them. It does not work if I choose to uncheck the synch photos feature in iTunes and also if I check it but have no albums/projects selected.
    Instead the last step of the iTunes sync (importing photos) runs forever, even through a whole night. And I still have my photo albums which should not be on the iPhone an more.
    Any idea or help? Thank you.

    Check the settings of the side switch:
    Settings>General. Be sure that the side switch is set to screen lock rather than mute.

  • Photo.app crashes. Can not delete or sync photos. Stuck!

    On my iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1:
    Photo.app crashes whenever i try to delete certain photos from my camera roll. It freezes and I have to exit the app with the front botton. I have the crash logs on my computer.
    The iPhone appears in iTunes, however photos do not sync.
    The iPhone does NOT appear in Image Capture, iPhoto, or other photo importing programs.
    Now I am really stuck - ! I have no way to delete the (presumably corrupted) photos from my iPhone!
    If I "Erase all content and settings" from the iPhone, it once again appears (empty) in Image Capture. However, if I then restore the iPhone from a backup, the photo roll is restored and it has the same problem. If I do not restore the iPhone, I lose all my apps, contact info, etc.
    I am an Apple developer (MacOS, iOS) so I have expert skills tackling problems like this, but now I'm stumped!

    I had the same problem and spent 4 hours troubleshooting with Apple Tech Support. We uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, drivers and checked every setting that had anything to do with my iPhone. As usual I was told that I need to restore my phone which is always my last option. I actually read your post and began to panic as it became clear that even after a reset I would get the same photos back when I synched and restored. Last time that I restored to new it took me 3 solid hours to tweak my phone back to the way it was. When I realized that I was basically screwed and was going to lose my photos I began to email them to myself one at a time. When I got to one picture I discovered that I had found the corrupt photo. I was not able to send it as it turned into a question mark when I tried to send to myself. I tried to delete 50 times but it froze my phone each time and wouldnt remove itself from my camera roll. I tried to select photos but each time that photo appeared in the window the app crashed and shut itself down. I had scheduled an appointment with the genious bar and figured I would call tech suoport one last time before I went through that nightmare and while I was on hold I pluged my phone into my computere and tried to delete the phote while plugged into my laptop and out of nowhere an error window popped up notifying me that my photo app experienced an error and would repair itself which within four seconds it did and the corrupt photo dissapeared. I cant tell you how relieived I was and my phone works perfectly well now. I tried to explain the results to the tech that finally answered but he didn't seem to care that much. I hope this works for you next time.

  • Cannot delete iphoto synced photos

    Hi people,
    Somehow Iphoto has synced more than 2 gigabyte worth of photos from my macbook to my iphone 3gs and there is apparently no way for me to delete them from my phone.
    If i try to delete the photos i've taken with my iphone (those located in camera roll) i've only got to press the little bin. But if i try to use the same method on the iphoto imported photos (located in 3 different folders like camera roll) there is no bin.
    Anybody else got this problem or got some answer?

    Thanks for the answer
    But I've been looking for something like a photo tap in itunes but can't seem to find it. The top taps when selecting iphone in itunes are (my itunes is in danish, so i'm not sure what the taps are called in english mind) "overview, info, applications, ring tones, music, film, tv shows, podcasts and itunes-u.
    Do you know where to find that photos tap?

  • Why can't I delete synced photos from my iPhone?

    Early iPhones did not have especially good cameras, so this was not an issue. However, starting with the iPhone 4s, it became clear that iPhones would begin to replace standard point-and-shoot cameras. Space would soon become a problem. You could be on a trip and begin to run out of space and find that any photos you had synced using iTunes (before your trip) could not be deleted. Even if you had an iPad with more storage, you could not delete those older synced photos. Apparently, you were supposed to have brought your Mac or PC on the trip, just so that you could use iTunes To delete synced photos.
    I don't understand Apple's rationale for this limitation.
    As of this writing, Apple does not provide a tablet that runs iTunes. So it would seem that the only solution is to buy a PC tablet such as Microsoft surface tablet. Only then would you have a full fully portable tablet that would allow you to run the iTunes program to delete old synced photos and make more room on your iPhone.
    Of course you can use airdrop to transfer photos from the iPhone camera roll to an iPad and then delete them from your iPhone, but why would you want to get rid of the newer photos on your iPhone rather than the old ones that had been synced before your trip?
    SInce Apple does not offer a tablet that runs OS X (and therefore is iTunes capable), this policy would seem to be in advertisement for Microsoft.
    Am I missing something?

    When the new iCloud Photo Library and its accompanying Photo app for Mac is available, this problem will go away. In the mean time, you have another option. Instead of syncing albums or photos from your photo library onto your device, why not create a shared Photo Stream with the older photos you want to have with you? Those can be deleted as you wish.
    Or, as Ralph suggested, if you are planning a trip, remove the excess photos before you leave so you do not run out of room.
    Cheers,

  • Synced photo album in ipad cannot be deleted

    Few days ago, I synced a photo ablum into ipad.
    When I want to delete the synced photo album today, I didn't find any albums in itunes.
    However, I found I hv deleted the ipod photo cache folder that ican't delete the photo album.
    So, is there any other ways to delete?
    Thx very much.

    Backing up with iCloud would not backup synced photos anyway. iCloud only works photos that you take with the iPad.
    There are third party WiFi apps that will allow you to transfer the photos back to the Mac. You download the app to both devices and then you can send photos and videos to and from each device.
    I use this one. There are others available in the App Store.

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • How do I delete a locked photo on my iPad?

    Days ago I connected my Mac Book Pro to a customers iPad, via the iPad cable, and inadvertently some of my pictures went to his iPad. I tried to delete them but when I open the images there is no trash can nor any other meens to erase the picture, which makes me to supose that this photos are locked somehow. Can anyone help me? My customer is a little bit anoyed and me too.
    Thanks in advance for your attention and your eventual help.

    They can't be deleted directly in the Photos app. Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on your iPad then you might be able to delete all synced photos by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (under the 'Storage' heading). Or he or you can connect it to a computer's iTunes and select an empty folder on the Photos tab and sync that - that should remove those photos.

  • Sync photos from iPhone?

    I'm taking pictures, but I can't see the pictures I take with iPhone in iPhoto.
    Anyone out there know how to sync the "Camera Roll" Photo album on iPhone?

    Using iTunes to transfer photos from your computer to the iPhone is optional. You can import photos from your phone to a computer and not sync any photos to the phone via iTunes if desired. It does not overwrite photos taken on the phone and left on the phone.
    Each time you sync (if you choose to sync photos at all) it will set the synced photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes (i.e., it will add any new photos from the folders/albums you have chosen to sync, it will delete previously synced photos if you change the settings to no longer sync some folders/albums).
    I'm not sure what it is that you are trying to do but you may want to consider using iCloud Photo Library. It allows you to automatically have all of your photos on your Mac, on your iPhone, and on iCloud. No iTunes required, no usb cable importing required. More information:
