How do I delete a photo album if it has been synced from a computer no longer in use?

I accidentally synced a couple of photo albums on to my phone on a computer that we are no longer using. I am unable to delete these albums now, and they are taking up too much room

What happens when you sync photos from the new computer?
The albums should be deleted when you do this.

  • How can i delete a photo album that has been synced from another computer

    I am trying to delete a photo album that I do not need anymore from an iPad 4. But the album has been synced from a computer that I don't have access to anymore. Is there anyway around this ?

    Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by connecting to a computer's iTunes and changing the sync selection on the device's Photos tab.
    Is that the only album that was synced from that computer (and you now sync the iPad to a different computer ?), or do you have other albums from it that you want to keep on the iPad ? If you want to keep one or more albums on it then they will need to be on the computer that you sync to so that they can be selected on the Photos tab and re-copied to the iPad from that computer. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

    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.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.
    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

  • How do i delete a photo album sent from my pc from my iphone 5c

    this website is useless, talk about being led a merry dance by apple!
    All I want to know is how the **** do i delete a photo album (sent from my pc) from my iphone 5c....how hard can it be to find out??????

    Cheers Chris,
    I was not being disrespectful to the forum, I was however doing so to Apple and their usless customer service, technical support, website that takes you round and round in circles and total lack of contact us facility (unless you live in the US).
    Everywhere I go they want me to log in AGAIN and AGAIN and then they send stupid messsages to my phone that do nothing unlike they tell me. For something so simple it has taken days and I mean days for them to even let me find how to post the message asking for help and as for my local Apple store....don't get me started as they didn't know how to do it.
    It's not very well explained anywhere and I have done it by default following your reply so thanks. They go on about being a super company but ask them directly for help and nothing. In all honesty when I go to itunes it doesn't show you any way to remove such albums and all I can see is the sync thing that says what do I want to sync...I did it by syncing an empty folder from my pc, shouldn't be that hidden and un-explained.
    Cheers again and apologies if you thought I was being rude.

  • HT4993 how can I delete a photo album?

    I want to find out how to delete a photo album?

    For albums/photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process, in the same way - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

  • How do you delete a photo album on new iPad?

    Need help to delete a photo album.   Also, is there a way to easily select more than one but less than all photos in an album?

    Why is a post pc device dependent on a pc to erase images?
    In the case of photos it is not a question of the type of device, but of the application you are using. Both iPhoto and Photos app are applications that allow albums to be uploaded and mirrored from your Mac. If you do not want the mirroring, don't use this feature - use the Photos Stream to upload. Then you can delete.
    Regards

  • How can i delete photos that have been synced from my computer to my i-pad?

    I want to delete photos that have been copied from my computer to my i-pad,i can delete albums but not phots?

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

  • How can I delete a photo album, I click on edit but do not get a delete option

    Hello
    I am having great trouble in deleting a folder from my photo album, I click on edit but do not get an option to delete the content, it just opens up showing all content. My friends Ipad gives him the option to delete a folder, have I a problem with the device?
    I note also that after adding a folder successfully, adding another folder overlays the former and changes the  title or adds only some photos causing a mixture of both folders with the same title. Has anyone any advice how to overcome these problems?
    I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer.
    Thanks for reading this

  • How do I delete downloaded photo albums from my iPhone 4 if I don't have the original computer?

    My old computer crashed causing me to lose everything. I have a photo album on my iPhone that I would like to get rid of but i can't seem to figure out how to on my new computer. Is it possible to get rid of that album without factory resetting my phone and losing everything?

    Try this (not 100% sure it will work, though.)
    Transfer all your photos from the device to your computer:
    Then, do an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Erase all content & settings.
    Restore from the backup.

  • How can i delete a photo album synced from a pc onto my iPad

    I have copied some photo albums from a pc onto my iPad and now moved them onto my macbook by emailing them to myself. It now won't let me delete them from the iPad. There is no delete box, please help, its taking up a lot of memory. Thanks

    Synced photos have to be unsynced in order to be deleted. Connect the iPad to your Mac, launch iTunes, select your iPad under devices, click on the photos tab, and uncheck the Sync Photos From heading in iTunes, then click on Apply and that will remove all of the synced photos.
