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 you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll. After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

"Why doesn't Apple fix this ? "
Because it is not broken. it works exactly as intended.
"If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
Apple has it figured out. That is what is on the iphone.

HT201302 How do I delete a photo from my camera roll and not delete it from a folder

When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. How do I delete from the camera roll and not lose them from the folder?

"When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. "
Correct. There is only one photo and it is in the camera roll. The folders you create are just a way to organize the pics. it does not create a duplicate pic.
Just as a song is in your library and a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and the folder.
If you delete a song from the library, then it is gone. The same is true of pics.

How do you export multiple photos to the Camera Roll?

The option to save multiple images to the Camera Roll does not work on my iPad 2. I tap Share, then tap Camera Roll and a list of options shows up. However, the options All and Selected are greyed out. Whatever I tried to do, they stay grey. This is realy frustrating. Any advise and help will be appreciated!

I am a huge "fanboy" and own several Macs. I can assure you that doesn't help this particular problem. In fact I find this iOS iPhoto app to be very un-Apple in the sense that it seems to be an unfiinished product. The interface and capabilities are impressive, and it has a lot of potential, but it feels like a Beta release to me. Lots of bugs and many features that are not yet functional or do not work as described in the help file. Seems that Apple rushed this one out the door. I suspect that many of these issues will be resolved via software updates.

How do I delete multiple photos from library?

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.

Delete imported photos from iPhone camera roll?

In iPhoto, after importing photos from my iPhone I would get a prompt to delete the photos that had just been imported from the camera roll. Since the Photo Stream was implemented though, most photos would have already been imported through iCloud before I connected the phone to my Mac. iPhoto would then give an option to remove all photos that had already been imported.
The new Photos app no longer appears to have this option. I can tick to delete items after import, but I can't automatically remove all items in the camera roll that have already been imported. If I go and manually delete those photos from the camera roll on the phone, it also deletes them from the Photo Stream, and they disappear on my Mac and iPad as well.
I'm not subscribed to iCloud Photo Library. How can I make sure that all my photos continue to import onto my Mac and stay there, without keeping all the originals on the phone forever?

Yes... a real surprise (not a pleasant one)
Only workaround I know of (and have used already in testing and getting setup) is to use the Image Capture app in your main Applications folder (a standard OS X utility).
After you've imported your pictures manually from your iPhone to Photos, you can run this app and then delete what you will.
I imagine the reason for this is that PhotoStream should be taking care of this. You don't need to have the iCloud Library turned on for this to work, and photos should import automatically.
However, there are three issues with this:
Buggy: I found (at least prior to iOS 8.3) that not all of my photos on my iPhone went to the Photo Stream... never did find out why some didn't make it.
Buggy again: Many people are having issues with the latest releases getting Photo Stream to sync from an iPhone
You don't want your photos in Apple's domain.
In which case, using another app to mass delete your photos on your iPhone is (for now), your only choice.

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time? Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user. Thank you.

Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

How can I move Whatsapp or google photos from the camera roll to a different folder
The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.

HT4515 how do you erase a photo from the Camera Roalbumll and still keep it in a selected

How can you erase a phote from the camera roll and not delete from the selected album you moved it to

You don't. There is only one picture. if you delete it from Camera Roll then it will be gone. Just as a song is in your library and that exact same song is in a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and that exact same photo can be accessed from a album that you make.
The pic is not moved to the album, the album is simply a playlist. the pic lives in the camera roll.

How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an album in ipad?

How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

HT4847 i deleted some photos from my camera roll on ipad by mistake trying to get more icloud storage. can i get them back?

Now I read that doesn't help to free up space...not sure what does free up space so I can back up my phone again. Help!

Are you sure you deleted them from your camera roll and not from photo stream.

My iPhone 4 is unable to upload photos from the camera roll onto facebook. Keep getting the message "unable to upload now"

My iPhone 4 is unable to upload photos from the camera roll onto facebook. I keep getting the message "unable to upload now, try later"

I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

My iPhone's screen is unresponsive when emailing a photo from the camera roll

Hello all, first time here, and I have an odd issue with my iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1.4
If I go to my camera roll and select a photo, then go and select "mail" from the options, it brings up the typical email message(I use gmail)
but if I go to tap the address section, it takes 5-6 taps to get the phone to bring up the keyboard to enter an address. The weirdest part is,
if I go into my email and start a message normally, it only takes the 1 tap to get the phone to bring up the keyboard for the address. I have
tried to reproduce this in other apps, and it appears to only happen when I email a photo from the camera roll.
Any ideas? Maybe a backup/restore? Thanks in advance.

Restored as new, did not restore from a backup. Set up my gmail account, took a test photo and tried to email it, and problem persists. Guess it must be a hardware thing, just so weird it only happens in the camera roll and not in regular email.
Thanks for the advice and help everyone!
