How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

    How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

    How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

  • On 8.1, how do I delete photos from camera roll but not from photo stream?

    I recently updated to iOS 8.1 on my 5S and was happy to get camera roll back, but unlike in the past, when I delete a picture from camera roll, it also deletes it from photo stream.  This makes no sense; I want to delete it from my phone while keeping it in photo stream - is there something I'm not doing?  Is it a problem with 8.1?  Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

  • How do I delete photos in camera roll without deleting in albums?

    How do I delete photos in camera roll without deleting in albums?

    Sorry that is not possible because the album uses a backup from camera roll,so if you delete any photo in camera roll it will be delete the same picture in the album.
    Thanks

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • Can delete photos from 'Camera roll' but not 'Photo Library'

    Please excuse my ignorance in advance! I needed to delete some photos as I couldn't download any apps or take any more photos until I freed some space (not sure why as according to itunes I have nearly 2GB free). I recently updated iphone software and now have 2 photo albums on my phone. I deleted most of the photos on my camera roll but noticed that the new album 'Photo library' which was created when I updated the software still has all the original photos in it. I went into to it to delete them but for some reason there is no delete icon for any of these photos. Please note these are all photos taken using the iphone itself. I have never synced photos from my computer to my iphone so I can't delete them by syncing with a folder on my PC. I back up the photos by copying them manually using windows.
    I would really appreciate any help as I don't want to run out of space of my iphone again especially if it is due to unnecessary duplication of seemingly undeletable photos!

    You cannot delete photo library pics from the iphone.
    You delete them the same way you got them there in the first place. The sync process.
    Deselect the photo album/folder under the photos tab in itunes, then sync.

  • How to I delete pictures from camera roll but not album on ipad

    I am trying to delete pictures from my camera roll without having to delete them pictures from the album..  The reason for this is I have organised my pictures into albums on iPad and therefore would like to delete from camera roll however when I attempt to do this it says it will delete from album as well. Is there any way round this. Thanks.

    No there isn't. The original photo is being stored in the camera roll and the copy of the photo is in the album. If you remove the photo from the camera roll, you will delete it from any albums that it might be in as well.
    With the benefit of an edit - my comments are with regard to trying to this on the device itself.

    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 iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select 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. Learn more about deleting photos.

  • Can't delete photos in camera roll received vis text message

    Somebody sent me two photos vis SMS. I downloaded them to my camera roll. I have deleted the orignal text message and photo but they still exist as thumbnails in my camera roll. They can't be highlighted or deleted on the phone. They won't open on the phone (expand). They won't sync to computer. Any ideas how to get rid of them?

    Hello DaVBMan,
    I have about 200 photos that somehow went from my laptop into my phone and I can't delete them. When I open the roll into thumbnail and hit the lower left button I do have the ability to multiple select but my only options are to share or copy them. I have the latest version of iPhone and iTunes installed. Any thoughts?

  • How can I delete more than one Email (but not ALL) at once in the new Mail program?

    In OS X 10.7 it was possible to just right click an email and then scroll down or up to delete i.e. 10 Emails at once. But in OS X 10.8 this doesn't work anymore. I have to delete one mail after the other which is exhausting after a while and with a lot of emails! But I don't want to delete all of them (would be too easy with CTRL-A and then Return) just a few. Any ideas? I didn't find it out yet and I want it the easy Mac-Way and not the complicated Windows-way
    Thanks for any inout on that!!

    You can now double-click and drag down the list of emails to select multiple, consecutive messages to delete.
    For non-consecutive messages, command-click on the ones you want to delete.

  • Cannot delete photos in camera roll on ios 7

    The trash icon does not appear blue when I select photos in ios 7... They are in camera roll but not showing in albums.

    There are a number of issues here.
    Only photos taken with the iPad camera can be placed in the folders created within the in house app Photos. Since they are linked, deleting one of them deletes all copies.
    Photos not taken by the iPad camera cannot be deleted from within the iPad.
    For non iPad Photo app pictures you are better to create your folders on your pc, manage them from there  (including subsequent deletes) and sync.
    I hope I have got this right. There are other photo apps which might simplify this.

  • How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    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.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.
