Getting a Photo Album off my iPhone

I have an album on my iPhone (iOS5) containing photos and videos. The photos are not in my camera roll. I want to get the photos off my phone (where they are preventing iCloud sync because the videos are so big) and onto my computer for storage. However, when connecting to my Mac, I can't find the photo album to sync - either via iTunes, or via iPhoto ('09 for Mac)?
(Generally, I'm deeply confused about how photos and photo albums are meant to sync with Mac applications. It all works fine on the iOS device and iPhoto for iOS, but when you need to remove them and sync to Mac it all gets much more difficult...)

Hey GeorgeClarke!
I have an article for you that will help you address this situation:
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.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

How to get photo albums off of iphone 4s with itunes

My computer has a virus so I hooked my iphone 4s to another computer with itunes. I need to get some photo albums off the iphone that I synced with the other computer but the only thing that comes up are the photo stream photos. My question is how can I get them off it is taking up space on icloud and I just don't want them anymore. please help.

Please explain to me what kind of photos end up outside the sandbox. Photos taken or saved with the phone are in the Camera Roll. Other photos on the iPhone would be synced via iTunes from the computer. Those pictures are already on the computer and can be removed from the phone via another sync. Importing the photos with import utility on the computer, like a digital camera is how to get the pictures. I'm not sure what these other photos are that you are referring to, or where they are coming from.

How do I get the U2 album off my iphone ?

I have an iphone 4s and itunes on my macbook pro linked to that iphone handset.
I have followed all the instructions provided to get rid of this U2 album off my iphone.
It no longer appears in my itunes on my macbook. I have done everything advised on my iphone but when I go into the album to delete each song - the "left swipe" action does not bring up the red delete button - it just plays the song.
All I could think of (in desperation was to delete my music app and re-sync with my laptop - but of course you can't do that because it comes with the phone.
Please tell me why my left swipe function to delete is not working on this phone ( a relatively new handset) - or just tell me how I can get rid of this terrible album that was not of my choosing.
Shame to Apple for letting this happen in the first place. Now I have to waste my time dealing with it.
Thanks

Hello mlcollard,
The article linked below details how to hide purchases, which should prevent the album from appearing on your phone.

How do I get synced photo albums transferred from iphone to my mac?

I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Macbook and now that I have replaced the drive I would like to recover the pictures on my iphone.
I was able to get the camera roll photos using image capture but I am unable to get the photo albums that were synced from my previous iphoto library. My iPhone 4S is jailbroken so I could go in via SSH but the problem is that I cannot even locate the photos.
Is there a way to get those photos back onto my Macbook?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Macbook 3,1 OS 10.6.8
iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 (jailbroken)

The photos "synched" from a computer to your iPhone aren't really the original photos. They're low resolution thumbnails suitable for display on the phone, but not practical for anything else. If you didn't bother to save the original photos before replacing your computer's hard drive, your pictures are gone.

Deleting photo album off my iPhone 4s

Hello,
Is there a way to delete a photo album from my iphone 4s using my new MacBookPro?
You see the pictures where put on my iphone using my old PC. Since then I had to get rid of my PC and by a new mac computer.So the picture album on my iphone DOESNT EXIST on my new computer
Is there a way to delete still ?
thank you very much

When you sync to the new computer it will erase all the photos.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.
Did you fail to backup you computer?
You can e-mail the photos to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality

Can't get a duplicate album off my Iphone?

So the other day I downloaded an album off Itunes and then synced my Iphone to put it on. When I checked it the next day, the album had a double of every song. Usually this isn't a problem and I just delete the duplicates and sync it again. But when I went to my Itunes, there wasn't any duplicates. I synced my phone, and there still weren't any in Itunes, only my phone. I then unchecked the songs, and then the duplicates dissapeared, but the album was still on my Iphone. It appears this album is stuck on my Iphone and I have no idea how to get it off...this is also the case for a few other songs I bought that same night. Any idea how to get them off or what is going on? thanks!

First you have to know which calendar your client saved the event to. Usually by default it saves to the native Calendar app. If that is the case, he should be able to log into iCloud and delete the event (decline the invitation) from there. If your client saved the event to an external calendar that he has synched to his iPhone (Yahoo, Google, etc.) he may be able to delete it or decline it from there, which should in turn remove it from the device.
The logic here is that only the creator of the event invitation can edit the event details, so that if they do that, all of the recipients of the invitation will get the updated information automatically. I agree it leaves a lot to be desired to stick things on people's calendars that they can't at the very least just simply delete if not edit. I will no longer accept invitations directly on my device in order to avoid this. I will add the event to my calendar manually from now on.

Getting photo albums off my iphone 4s I have Windows 7 which I have down loaded to

just cant seem to figure out how to get photos off my phone I have no more room and it says i have 4000 photos and cant do anything more (syncing)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was no workaround in iOS 7 if Find My iPhone can't be turned off on the phone. I thought that was the whole purpose of the change, to keep thieves from restoring a stolen phone.
I'm confused.
Thanks.

I cannot get a photo file off my iphone no matter what i try,even when the photo total pops up as 41 there are 344 on the phone

I have an iphone 3 that was synced awhile back.All was fine,now I need space on the phone & cannot get a picture file with 344 photos off the phone. I've tried not checking any folders to sync

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

I have a new MacAir and need to import existing photo albums from my iPhone 4s

I have had my MacAir replaced and now need to get my existing photo albums off my iphone 4s. It allows me to import exising "new" photos from my camera role but these are not what i want. I did a 9 country Europe trip and I don't want to lose them

Hi foxifoodie,
Unfortunately, those photos live in your iPhoto Library which was on your previous MacBook Air. Did you, by any chance back them up to a disk or flash drive? If not, have you consulted someone at the Apple Genius bar about recovering any of them, or using the Migration Assistant to get them moved over to your new MacBook Air?
I'm not familiar with any way to upload photos (other than the new ones) to your Mac from your iPhone.
IF WE HAVE SOME HEAVY HITTERS OUT THERE THAT KNOW A WAY TO HELP FOXIFOODIE OUT, PLEASE CHIME IN!!!
Otherwise, foxifoodie, I would talk to the Apple folks to see if there is any way to get these back for you! (Worst case - have them all printed out so you at least have a hard copy! Then, possibly have a good photo service put them on disk for you so you can upload them to your new MacBook Air?
Good Luck!
Cheers,
GB

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

How to remove recently deleted photo album off iPhone by iTunes?

Using iTunes how can i remove the recently deleted photos from my iPhone 4s?

You can't remove the "Recently Deleted"album off your iPhone. You can empty the folder or wait for the photos in the folder to age out (30 days).
This is a feature added to help the many users who accidentally deleted photos from their iPhones, iPads, etc. or later had second thoughts about the deletions.

Is there any way to delete an unwanted photo album off of my iphone 4s?

Is there any way to delete an unwanted photo album off of my iphone 4s? My camera roll is how I like it, but I have 2 unwanted album subfolders with 5 photos in each that I'm trying to delete. There is no trash can.

How can I do that while keeping my original camera roll intact? When I try to go the sync route, the phone tries to sync with every photo or video stored on my windows based pc. I can't find a way to isolate those 2 subfolders and delete them. If they would only have a trash can option like the camera roll has, it would be no problem.

Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed.
