How can i delete stock photos from my Mac that are on my iPhone?

When I first synced my iPhone 4S to my iTunes on my macbook pro, I got a bunch of stock photos and icons used on my computers. I cannot delete them on my iPhone like you would delete a normal photo; the option to delete the photos is disabled,
The pictures take up a lot of space and I want to get rid of them.
I just updated to iOS7 and my iTunes has not been updated lately.
There are 488 of these photos and they are in an album called "last import- from my mac"

I have over 6GB of data taken up by old photos that I do not need. I can not figure out how to delete them because I downloaded them to my iphone from my ipod. is there a way to delete them without restoring my phone?
Do you mean that you synced them from iTunes to your iPhone? If so, you have to sync to iTunes again and change the selected synced photos.

All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
All help gratefully received.

You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

How can I delete a photo from aperture but keep it on my computer

I recently purchased A3 from the App Store and have begun migrating photos to its program.
It's also given me a chance to go through and see which photos I would rather not have in A3 but I don't want to delete totally. So here's my question:
When I delete a photo from A3 is there a way to keep the original in it's location but just not pulled into A3's database? I tend to keep files where they are and even though I don't want it in A3, I still want to keep the photo on my external database. Yes, I could just select one photo at a time to incorperate but I just wanted to do a select all and then hand filter out in post.
Thanks and hope this made sense.

When the Master of an Image in your Aperture Library is located anywhere outside of that Library, it is called a "Referenced Master". Aperture gives you complete control of your Images' Masters -- you can relocate them, consolidate them, reconnect them, etc.
Every Image has a Master. The Master is a file on a drive. When you delete the last Image in a Library that uses a Master, Aperture will ask you if you want to delete the Master file as well. For your purposes, say "No".
You should probably experiment with a practice Library and make sure you end up with a workflow that meets your needs. One thing Aperture can't do is mark which files in Finder are Masters. To group your files by "Master/not-Master" in Finder, you will have to go into Aperture and move all of the Masters to another location. The files left are not Masters.
Note that Aperture puts deleted Masters in the System trash. They are put in a folder named after your Library -- I think -- in any case they are easy to identify. Until you empty the system trash, they are available from there.
All of which begs the question: why keep the Master but remove it from your Library? You could simply create an Album (or a Project, depending on your use of Projects) called "Archive", and put all of those Images there.

How can I delete iCloud photos from my iPad2?

Photos were taken with iPhone 5. I was able to delete them off of phone but they would not delete on iPad. The iPad photos are under the catagory of iCloud photos. The pics only show up on my iPad and there is no trash can icon to delete. Tried logging on to iCloud and the advanced setting does not allow photo deleting, only document resetting. I have iOS 7. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there Bunluhvr!
If you are unable to delete these photos from your iPad, then they may have been synced into your iPad from your computer:
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.
Cheers,
Braden

How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air? I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos. I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred. I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network. Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail.
We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

1st solution
One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
2nd solution
Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
3rd solution
Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
4th solution : iPhoto
if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
5th solution : iCloud
If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
6th solution : dropbox
Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
7 ....
Ask if you want some more

How can i delete these photos from my iphone?

I had to do a dfu reset on my phone (without restoring a backup) to fix a data problem i was having, so i have spent the past week manually backing up specific app data that i can't live without (such as the songs i have written/recorded with garageband) and my notes and contacts and photos...etc to my computer. I did that with a program called iexplorer. Then after the restore i had to get all that stuff back on my phone and it's all been sorted out so far except this problem i encountered with my photos: i wanted my photos back in the camera roll just like they were before the reset and the only program i could find to do this was "iFunBox". I started with the first folder of about 70 pics, the import appeared successful from my computer, then i looked on my phone and it did not show them in the camera roll or even a folder beside camera roll (under the albums tab), but when i switched the tab to photos it showed them all there. But the strange part is i am unable to delete them and it shows the date as 1947, which obviously isn't right. In itunes it also does not show the pictures, even in iFunBox it doesn't show them. I tried syncing my photos with an empty album and it did nothing. How can i get rid of these photos without having to do another factory reset? And once i get them off, how do i get all my photos back onto the camera roll? Emailing them isn't an option because i have over 1500 pictures and emailing them 21 at a time is simply not going to happen. Please help!!

If the photos were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, you have to sync them off to remove them (by deselecting them on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing).

HT204022 How can I delete my photos from my I phone? It does not let me by selecting and trash it. I did back them up but now I need to free my storage on my phone.

Photos synced to your phone from your computer can only be removed by syncing them off again. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer using your usb cable
Open iTunes on your computer
Click on the name of your phone in iTunes
Go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings
Uncheck the folders that contain the photos you no longer want on your phone. To remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
If you only want to remove some of the photos from an album, but not all, remove these photos from the folder by the same name on your computer, then sync your phone.

HT4890 how can I delete the photos from Ipad2 or Iphone5

Ipad 2 in the picture that I can not delete photo from Icould, even when deleted from Ipad2 photos are still there,pls help

To what? Are you having trouble with a DVD made by a particular device, or a hard disk that was on a particular computer, or is still in that computer, and communicating to your computer? We don't have enough details to answer the question. Are you trying to get photos into an iPhoto certain version, Photoshop certain version, just the Finder of a certain version, or specific operating system on your Mac? We need more details. Is the DVD a standard DVD, such as is indicated on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446 or something non-standard?

I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

How can I delete a app from the Mac App Store completely?

I have a apllication which had a error. I delete it and download the app from the Mac App Store again, but the error wasn't delete. My iMac had stored it and the Error wasn't deleted so I can't youse the app.
What can I do to delete the app complete?
Please answer.

If your App was faulty in some way you should write to iTunes support. If you simply want to delete it, most Apps carry uninstall (not delete) instructions.
Incidentally, I believe you cannot delete the record of your purchase from iTunes. That will always stay on your purchases list and be marked with a dark grey square as INSTALL..
