Finding/Deleting Synced Photos on Computer

The community responses have not helped me resolve my deleting/ Finding my synced photos on my computer. Please advise me as to where and how to locate tab for photos at iTunes (not sure what page it is on) and any other pertinent instructions as to how to delete a number of synced photos on my iPad 4. As I am not computer/iPad knowledgeable, exact details are much appreciated. Thank you.

It is really pretty straight forward. This will delete all of the synced photos on your iPad.
Connect your iPad to your computer with the cable.
Launch iTunes - it it does not start up on its own.
Make sure that you see the sidebar on the left side, and you can ensure that you see it, by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.
Click on your iPad name under the Devices heading in the left sidebar.
Click on the Photos Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right side
Uncheck the box next to Sync Photos from heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to initiate the sync.

Deleting synced photos after computer crash

Hi,
I'm having trouble deleting photos I synced with my friend's iPod. My friend let me borrow it for a few weeks and I had synced photos onto it from my computer. However, within the timespan that I had the iPod, my computer crashed and I had to completely restore it, so I had to re-download iTunes. Now, my friend wants the iPod back, but I cannot delete the photos I had previously added. I want to keep everything else that is on the iPod, so I don't want to do a full restore. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

Hi
My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
- Where is it located ?
- What is it's name ?
Yours Bengt W

Thank You
I found my iPhoto library
ctrl-clicked on it and opened package/content
here I found the iPod photo cashe folder
copyed this to a safe hard disk
then deleting it's content
and my memory/free space on boot drive is back
So I hope all's well.
Yours Bengt W

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,

How do I delete synced photos in my iPhone individually?

I can delete photos taken with iPhone but, how do I delete synced photos in my iPhone? I do not see a trashcan.

So basically there is no answer to this question except workarounds. In my opinion, I think this is another bad design of the iPhone. I already love all the things that my iPhone can do but it just small things like this that I think Apple could have done it better. Why can't I delete the photos on my iPhone without tied down to a computer and if when I am syncing back to my computer it gives me the option if I want to sync from my iPhone to my computer or from my computer to my iPhone. I don't think that is so hard to do.

By connecting your iPod to its syncing computer and unsyncing them. As you found out you can't delete them from via the iPod.

How to delete synced photos on iPhone 4? Please tell me! Thanks!

I have tried to delete the synced photos on iphone but it can be deleted! How??

You can remove all of the synced photos from the phone by connecting it to iTunes on your computer and syncing again but before you sync remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos from" on the Photos tab of iTunes. If you only want to remove some of the photos there are more details in the "To delete synced photos and videos" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236

HT4236 Having trouble deleting synced photos from phone

I deleted all my photos on my camera roll but I am not able to delete all of the albums.

Hi Natiyellowboi!
The answer to your question is located in the article you have linked above, and I will highlight it here:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

I would like to know how I can delete sync photos from my ipad as I have tried everything to delete them as they are unwanted and it was a first time try

I am having problems deleting unwanted photos from my photos app on my ipad, I synced with my pc as i wanted to see how the system worked, and now i cannot delete any of them, even with the delete button at the top left hand side, which does not function

If it was synced from your computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select it from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

Help finding deleting Photostream photos!!

A few weeks ago I manually deleted most of my Photostream on my iPhone 5S from the late spring/summer so I could make room on my phone for ios8...I thought a copy of the photos in my Photostream would be saved in the cloud. Big mistake. That's not how Photostream works I guess. My photos were permanently deleted from my Photostream everywhere. I have since had to completely restore my phone due to the problems with the 8.01 ios update. Is it possible to go back and find deleted photos from the past?
Note: In my iphoto on my macbook, I used to have a folder for each month of photostream photos (like June 2014 Photosteam, etc.) that automatically synced. Now, because I deleted my Photostream photos, they are no longer there. At some point in time these photos WERE on my camera roll but I deleted them as well because I thought they were in the photo stream...
Anyway, I am clearly confused and want to get my photos back! HELP!!! Please!!!!

Once you delete, and delete from PhotoStream without saving to a non-PhotoStream album, the photos are gone and not recoverable. Before deleting from PhotoStream, or at least monthly for that matter, it best to save everything to a separate album or folder. That protects the content as PhotoStream is volatile storage and will be subject not only to your deleting but also iCloud delete-by-rules based on quantity and age of the contents.
Not great news for you but there just isn't anything to do when deletion has been done across the board.

Deleting Synced Photos?

I syned photos from computer to iPhone. Some duplicates and some don't want, but they were in the same album/folder in computer's iPhoto. How do I delete. Don't want to delete from iPhoto, since that is the storage system for all photos. Must be a way to delete unwanted photos.
Thanks.

The thing to remember is that folders in Events in iPhoto on your computer can be left just as they are. The same picture can be in one Event and also be in one or multiple Albums without duplicating the space required on your computer.
The way I do it is organize the photos on my computer in the way I want them. I then create an album that I named "iPhone" and I create multiple albums within the iPhone album organized the way I would like them organized on the phone. I then put the pictures in those albums (recognizing that I am also leaving them in there original Events) and then sync the iPhone album to the phone. They are then in multiple albums on the phone.
For me it isn't much extra work since I started doing it that way originally; it also gives great flexibility in that I can have them organized any way I want on the computer and can also have them organized any way I want on the phone. There is the extra work of selecting which ones I want on the phone and setting them up in albums on the computer.

Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad? I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1. Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad) from computer to Ipad. It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update. I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
I've restarted my iPhone.
Restarted my iMac.
Re-installing iTunes.
Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
All with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.
