How do I delete imported photos from the iPad?

I have accidentally downloaded pictures from laptop I don't want on the iPad. I can't seem to delete them. How is it done?
Many thanks,
Avicia

You will have to sync again with iTunes to remove them. If you uncheck the box like in the picture below, it will remove all photos when you sync. Or keep that box checked and uncheck the boxes next to the photos, albums, folder that you want to remove from on the iPad.
In the example below, if I uncheck the box next to Disney 2010 when I sync, those photos will be removed. You will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window as well to sync.

  • How do I delete imported photos on the iPad in less then 2000 clics?

    Hi.
    I've been using the iPad to collect photos form my digital cameras.
    I have a few thousand of such photos on my iPad.
    Today I wanted to delete them (because they take a lot of memory and are synched anyway after correction).
    I could only find how to delete them by selecting them one by one on the iPad .
    On the Mac, I use Aperture, which has no option (AFAIK) for deleting imported photos.
    How stupid is that that you can import thousands of photos on the iPad and not delete them in under 1000 clics?
    I just found out that I still have iPhoto on my Mac, so I am going to import pictures from the iPad to iPhoto and use the option to delete them.
    Anyone with a less ridiculous solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jerome.

    The iPad's file system is hidden and not accessible unless perhaps you have jailbroken the iPad.
    Not jailbroken. The OP asked about photos that were imported, not sync'ed.

    The import photo albums generated using the CCK are accessable just like the "Saved Photos" album.
    As far as "clueing you in on how I do that", see my previous post.

  • How do I delete multiple photos from the Camera Roll?

    How do I delete multiple photos from camera roll without doing it one at a time?

    Thanks for your posts on this - it's something I've been wondering about, too.
    I do agree with Bonzo that it seems strange that there isn't a way to do it *efficiently* without having to hook the iPad to a computer.
    I know there is an alternative: in other words, you're right, Lawrence - it is possible to delete multiple files at once by following your instructions (i.e. tapping on each photo once, etc.) - but if you want to delete lots of photos, it takes ages to tap on every one of them.
    Does anyone else out there know of a way to delete multiple photos on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch without having to tap on each photo separately, or having to hook up to a computer?
    I'd be really grateful for any help on this. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • How do I remove individual photos from the ipad without changing the photo album in my lap top where the photo album is stored??

    How do I remove individual photos from the ipad2 without affecting the photo album in my lap top where the photo album resides?

    You don't.
    To remove a photo from your iPad that is located in a photo album on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPad under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the only way to remove the photo from your iPad is by removing if from the album on your computer followed by a sync.

  • 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.

  • How do I delete just songs from the iPad?

    In an attempt to move my iTunes library, I have now gotten way out of whack with my music.  I deleted all songs from iTunes and re-imported (sacrificing my play counts, etc., but I didn't know what else to do), and that works, but it leaves my iPad in a state of confusion.  So I would like to remove all music from the iPad and just start over and re-sync, but I am having no luck with that.
    Here are things I've tried:
    Re-syncing after re-importing the library to iTunes.  After that, I can see a full list of songs on the iPad, but 80% of them are grayed out and not playable.
    Deleted all the iTunes library files (the itdb's, the itl's and the xml) so that when iTunes opened, it would give me the fresh screen and show no music.  Then I synced the iPad--it told me it was going to erase everything on the iPad b/c it was synced to a different library (presumably my old library), and I said okay, and it synced, and somehow there are still about 200 songs on there.  No idea how those songs "survived," but they did.
    I tried going to Settings -> General, and I see an option for "Reset All Settings", and right under it "Erase All Content and Settings," but inexplicably, there is no option for "Erase All Content and Leave the Settings Alone!"  I'm not sure why of those three things, they think the first two are important to users, and the last one isn't.
    Ideally I would not like to reset my iPad, as I don't want to lose all my app data and that kind of thing--anybody know an easy way just to wipe all song media from the iPad?  Thanks!

    Hello valsaladevi,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to delete songs from the Music app on your iPad:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.

  • HT201317 How do i delete imported photos in my ipad?

    I had imported photos from my computer to my iPad before. Now, i have decided to remove them. But it seems that i couldn't find the "trash bin" icon on the upper right corner. I would like to remove it using my computer but it was newly fixed. The newly installed iTunes couldn't recognize my device. I'm worried that i might lose data if i continue to figure it out by myself. I need some help please. I'm not good in dealing with technical problems. Thank you.!

    If they were taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then you  should be able to delete them directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
    Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on your iPad then after tapping the Edit button at the top right of the screen in thumbnail view you may also be able to double-tap one of the thumbnails with two fingers, but instead of lifting your fingers off the screen after the second tap slide then back and forth across the screen on the photos that you want to select for deletion.
    You should also be able to delete them via Image Capture on your Mac e.g. re-connect the iPad, open Image Capture, select the photos that you want to delete and then at the bottom of the screen click the 'no entry' symbol

  • I am unable to remove imported photos from the iPad.  The red delete button does not come up and synching did not help. Any ideas

    I am unable to delete photos that have been imported from a camera.  The red delete button does not appear and synching with the photos ticked and then unticked does not work either.  I have also tried attaching the iPad to the PC and looking for the photos using windows file management. However the only photos that I can find are those taken by the iPad itself. I am confused about why something that should be simple is not.

    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 do I delete all photos from the iPhone?

    Hi,
    I want to delete all the photos from my iPhone4 running iOS5. I have copied all the photos on my HDD. I cant use the individual delete process as i have almost 2500 images.
    Thanks and Regards,
    SatyajeetB

    Delete the pictures in the "camera roll" using computer.
    On Windows:
    Open up the DCIM folder from "My computer", select all the pictures/videos (Ctrl + A) and hit delete.
    You could have selected the option "erase after importing" while importing the pictures on to your HDD.

  • I have the original ipad. I can't delete my photos from the ipad, and the new itunes update does not give me the option to sync photos. What do I do?

    I have the orignal ipad. I synced all my photos from my computer onto. Now I don't have enough storage on my ipad so I want to delete these photos. When I try from my ipad it only gives me the option to share or copy, NOT DELETE. I went to resync my ipad to itunes, after I downloaded the new version and now it doesn't give me an option to sync photos. How do I get rid of them?

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Hi All
    On my iphone - how do I delete multiple photos from the library without having to do 1 at a time?
    Thanks

    In the album, tap on the little forward arrow in the upper right corner. From there you can tap as many photos as you'd like, and at the bottom, you'll have the options to Share, Copy, Add To, or Delete.

    How do I delete this photo from my desktop?
    Thanks!

    I ended up shutting down my system, and when I started it back up, I was able to drag the photo to the trash and delete it (I did get a message warning that my deleting the photo might negatively affect the application that was "using" it, but I deleted it anyway...it worked...and I'm hoping I didn't adversely affect another application!).
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll?  I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR.  When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

    You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
    In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro
