How do I delete large quantities of photos from iPad?

I used the camera adapter to input the photos as a backup device on vacation. Now I want to get rid of them. Deleting 2000+ photos one at a time will be painful. Does anyone have an easier way?

If you have a Mac you can delete photos en masse from the iPad's Camera Roll without importing them with the free Apple app Image Capture. Image Capture is in the Applications folder of every Mac.
If you have a PC, I am not familiar with a similar app.

    Are you using iPhoto on your iPad? Then deleting photos will depend on the album they are in and how they have been added to the iPad.
    See this document for IOS 6 and earlier:   iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto
    If you also have a Mac, you can delete quickly large amounts of photos from your camera roll by connecting your iPad to your computer using USB and importing the photos into Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture. Then set the option to delete the photos after importing.
    Photos you synced to your iPad can only be deleted by syncing again.
    If you are using IOS 7 you can delete larger amounts of photos from your Camera Roll in the "Moments" view:
    n the Photos.app you can select all photos in a "Moment" at once, by pressing "Select" to the right of the "Moment" name. Then press the Trash icon.
    For example:

  • How do I delete large numbers of photos from library and hard drive without clicking on each one individually?

    For instance by dragging across them like you would do to move a block of type. Or any other way. I'm editing about 5,000 images.

    The Short answer is the Same Way you select multiple files on the computer system of your choice. Windows would be to click on the first image then hold down the Shift key and select the last image or if they don't run concurrently select the first, hold down the Ctrl key and click the individual files. Once that is don't hit the Delete key and select whether to delete from the just the catalog or Remove from Disk.
    On Mac it is the same except the hold down key for selecting non concurrent images and there really isn't a Delete key on a Mac. IIRC you hold down the shift or command key and hit the Backspace key which is labeled Delete.

    What is the best way to delete more than one email at a time?

    You can delete as many emails at a time as you can or choose to select, but there is no select all, if that is what you are looking for (except in the trash folder).

    I want to delete large numbers of photos from Camera Roll.  Do I have to do it one at a time?

    if you do it on the phone, yes - one by one.
    if it is really many photos: connect phone to your computer. open digital images. import all your photos to a folder of your choice, tick 'delete after import'. import. now your photos are gone on your phone, and inside the destination folder you selected in digital images. delete this one, too. done.

  • How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    They are deleted in the same way as photos, which are deleted by : only photos/videos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo/video in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos/videos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

    how can I delete previously itunes synched photos from my ipad 3 now that I use the cloud instead of synching via mac/itunes?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer, and on the Photos tab de-select those folders that you no longer want on the iPad - they can't be deleted directly on the iPad. If you no longer want any synced photos on your iPad then you can select and sync just an empty folder.

  • How do I delete an album of photos from iphoto?

    How do I delete an album from iphoto?

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • How do I delete all of my photos from my "photo library,""iPhone,""My Snap

    Please help! I have too many photos and while I have managed to download my "camera roll" photos to my PC, my photo library & iPhone still have 6052 pictures!! I already have all of these photos on my PC and they are on a back up as well. I just need to know how to delete them from my iphone so I have some storage room for apps and music.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANSWER(S). I SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT!

    The phone has to be plugged in. Across the top of the iTunes once you have selected the device are Summary, Info, Apps, Ringtones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books and the last one is photos. On that tab remove the checkmark next to Sync Photos from: If you cannot see this on your screen, your screen resolution may be too low. You will need to increase the resolution so you can see it. I don't use Mac, so I'm not sure what you will need to do, but that is where you should find it.

  • How do I delete a MobileMe email account from iPad that has iCloud on it?

    I Have an iPhone 4s that I installed iCloud on during the setup process. My iPhone, iPad and PC sync properly. However, my iPad email settings display both the MobileMe and iCloud accounts (with identical settings to each other).  Sometimes, the iPad receives duplicate emails, but not all of the time.  When I try to delete the MobileMe account through the iPad email settings, the delete/disable option does not appear.  My iPhone and my PC, with Outlook email, only have one email account setup, iCloud.  My PC is using Windows 7 (64bit) and Outlook 2010.   So, how do I get the MobileMe off of my iPad?

    Also FIXED, after reading Ned the Nerd's solution to delete the iCloud account, which is actually the account I wanted to keep.  After I deleted the iCloud account in the Mail/Contacts/Calendar settings, I was able to go into the MobileMe account, turn everything off, and then I was asked if I wanted to delete the MobileMe account.  After deleting the MobileMe account, I clicked back on the iCloud icon, still displayed in the settings, and logged back into iCloud.  All of my email, contacts and caledars restored perfectly, and now there is only the one iCloud email account displaying in my email app.  Thanks Ned!

  • How can I transfer large recording I made from iPad to my computer

    I recorded 2 videos on my iPad that about 1-1/2 hours long each but I can't seem to get it to transfer to my computer so I can make a DVD.  What do I need to do?  I need Help

    Hello
    I am Rich1108.
    I have the same problem you have with a large 52 min video on my ipad that all of the PC file managers do not see, even though they see all of the other videos on my ipad.  I have tried importing etc., and I always just get everything except the large file in question.  I have a 13 GB (16-used elsewhere?) ipad, and I believe that the 52 min movie takes all but 700 MB of my 13 GB.
    An associate at the Apple store near me told me to try Kodac EasyShare instead of the windows applications, but I don't think that is a good answer.  I have not tried it because one of my old computers uses a Kodac application to offload pictures from an old camera, and that is not a good application.  (It works, but is slow and does not really provide me with anything I can't do better with Windows Explorer.  And I don't like the way it works).
    But that is my only option right now.  I got a reply from Texas Mac Man, but he only referred me to standard methods.  He does not seem to understand that this large video defies the usual methods.  I did find a place where it was stated that the Import feature can only get files up to 500 Megabytes.  I have reason to believe that my video is about 12 GB.
    By the way, you probably have found that you also cannot trim your large video.  It seems that the ipad looks at the size and balks at that.  Mine says it can't trim because the file is too big.  That is before it even asks me if I want to trim the original or create a new sub-video.  But you might try trimming your video into smaller parts if your ipad will let you do that.  I think the import problem definitely has something to do with the size of the video.  You could always put the video back together again with a decent movie application.  (I use the one that comes free with Windows 7 called Microsoft Movie Maker or somehting like that.)  But unfortunately most of my valuable ipad movies were taken so that they show up upsidedown on most viewing applications, except the ipad.  There is probably an application that will fix that, but I have not found it yet.
    Please let me know if you find a solution to this large video problem.  I need to free up space on my ipad if nothing else, so I can't wait too long to delete this 52 min thing from the ipad.
    Thanks

  • How do I delete large quantities of e-mails without clicking each individual one?

    I am away from my desk , sometimes for days at a time. I easily received 50+ e-mails a day, and if I don't have time to just sit and individually go through and delete each one I don't need, it builds up to crazy numbers....I am currently at over 10,000 unread messages. I would like to be able to "select all" then simply click on the e-mails I want to keep...there will be a lot less clicking if I can do that. How might I make this happen? Thank you

    I have never used message filters....to be terribly honest, I really didn't know they existed. I have never marked junk. I used to just delete as it came in...but lately I am not at my desk as much as I used to be, and my lack of attention to the list has exploded in this huge number of e-mails...and you are right, I am missing e-mails I should be seeing.
    Unfortunately, my job requires that I receive many e-mails from different people that might not be folks I would have in my address book.
    So, I am able to "select all" but I would like to then remove from the blanket those e-mails I want to keep. I still can't figure out how to do that.
    Your surprise at my lack of e-mail skill is a little embarrassing but also amusing... :-)
    Thank you for your reply, though...

  • How do i delete a video or photo from my iPhone that i have imported from my mac?

    i recently downloaded all of my photos and videos onto my macbook. i went to try and download one of the videos onto my hone and successfully figured that out, but when i went to my photos on my iPhone it wasn't on my camera roll but had created its own album and will not allow me to delete the video. Any suggestions?

    If you use your computer to put a picture/video on the phone, you will have to use your computer to remove it.
