Delete photos and video synced from iTunes when you can’t access the originals
You can delete photos you synced from iTunes by syncing them with a new folder.These steps will remove all of the previously synced photos from the device.To delete photos that have been synced from a computer that's no longer accessible:
Create a folder on the computer that you now sync with, and add a single photo to that folder.
In the Photos tab in iTunes, click the box next to "Sync Photos From."
In the pop-up menu next to "Sync Photos From," choose the folder you created in step 1.
Apply the change.
Uncheck "Sync Photos From."
Apply the change again.
Your synced photos will now be removed from the device.

  • How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

    Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad.  We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream.  I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook.  I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad...  Any ideas?

  • HT1535 how do i delete photos from ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop

    How do I delete photos from an ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop.Apple told me to reset my daughters ipad mini to factory settings because of a fault but when it was reconnected all the photos on laptop were transferred and we cannot get rid of them Pse help

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - so you will need to re-connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 and you don't have the sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side use the Photos tab to de-select the folders that you don't want and then sync (if you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder).

  • How do I delete photos on iPad Air

    How do I delete photos on iPad Air

    don butler,
    Sync them off maybe a little confusing because there is no menu selection or button that says, "Sync Off Photos"
    When you synced with iTunes you went to the photos tab and selected albums to copy to your iPad.
    To remove whole albums, start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab.
    Then DESELECT the albums you no longer want on the iPad.
    Clicking on Apply or Sync will then remove the unwanted albums.
    To remove only certain photos that are inside albums is a little different.
    Before using iTunes on your computer find the folder or album that has the photos you want to remove. Then move those photos to some other location on you computer or, if you want, delete them entirely.
    Finally start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab. Make sure all of the albums you want on the iPad are still selected. This includes the albums that you just edited by moving or deleting photos. The click on Sync or Apply.
    The sync process wil examine each album, compare it to what is on your iPad and make the necessary changes. If you added photos to the folders on your computer they will be added to your iPad. Conversely, if you deleted photos from folders on your computer they will be removed on your iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • Delete photos from IPAD air

    Just got an IPad air and want to see what Iphoto on the Ipad air was providing me
    Transfer an album from IMAC to IPAD Air using ITunes (sync)

    From Itunes (IMAC), remove the album and sync it with the Ipad air
    Results:
    It delete the album from the Ipad air BUT:
    all photos (from the album) are still on the Ipad air and I can't find a way to delete them
    How do I get rid of the photos?

    If iPhoto cam efree with the iPad, it should now be tied to the AppleID you used, when you set up the iPad. You will need to use the same AppleID when you sign into the AppStore to download iPhoto again, and then it show as free.
    Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-left corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and download it again.
    Note: If it's a paid app, make sure you're using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it isn't, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPad Air to pic in icloud?

    How how do I transfer my photos from my IPAD AIR to my PC  In icloud?

    You can try setting up iCloud on your PC as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, and enabling photo stream on both your iPad (Settings>iCloud>Photos>My Photo Stream>On) and on the iCloud control panel for Windows (check Photos, click Options next to Photos and check My Photo Stream).  Unfortunately, this doesn't always work on a PC.  If it doesn't work for you, you can import them using your usb cable as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.

  • How can I export photos from iPad Air to PC?

    I purchased the iPad especially for a 3 month holiday to Europe rather than carry about a heavier and more valuable laptop PC. I used the iPad to store my 25000 plus photos (taken on a Nikon camera and imported via an SD card reader) from the holiday (in fact ran out of storage on the iPad). I paid for iCloud storage space to add security against loosing my photos through damage or theft of the iPad. This too maxed out early when at 55Gb I learned that I could not get any more iCloud storage. So that back-up method was inadequate. Now I've arrived home with half of my photos backed up on the iCloud, which I am yet to be able to see on the iCloud and the bulk of my photos are on the iPad, which I can see yet can't work out a way of exporting them. All in all I'm feeling like I made a serious mistake getting an Apple product.These are my photos and I just want to copy them across to my PC yet they seem to be imprisoned within the Apple world. I'd appreciate advice as to how to retrieve my photos back to a more user friendly place.
    Thanks, Greg.

    FYI - If you go on another trip.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

  • How do you delete photos from the ipad?

    how do you delete photos from ipad!

    Deleting Photos from iPad: Faced withthis problem, I looked for and found that a few other people werealso worried about it. I use Windows XP Professional and have an iPad2 (16GB).
    Deleting photos from the iPad turnedout to be quite easy after I connected the iPad to the PC with theUSB Cable. Using My Computer (in Windows Explorer) on the PC, I founda graphic showing a camera and a PC after clicking on the iPad 2. Allthe photos and videos in the iPad (not resident in any special apps)were displayed. Just to be safe, I first copied all photos, and videoclips, from iPad to a specially created folder on the PC. After thatit was easy to select all files on the iPad with CtlA and deletethem. I could have deselected any of them by Ctl and left click, if Ihad wanted to retain any on them on my iPad.
    Earlier I had downloaded a PhotoTransfer app. This did not help in deleting but was nice for WiFitransfers of photos, especially between the iPad and the iPod. But Inow see better options for the same $2.99 price.
    The app I would recommend is PhotoManager Pro by Linkus. It promises to do every action you may needrelated to handling photos on the iPad. But if you are an inveteratePicasa user, you could consider the $3.99 app Web Albums for iPad - APicasa Photo Viewer, Uploader, and Manager By Scott Sykora.
    In short, not just deleting photos butmanaging them in various ways on the iPad has now become easy. Goodluck with your handling of it!

  • How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

  • How do i delete photos from my iPad that were imported from a camera

    On a recent vacation, I backed up some 1,100 photos onto my iPad each day.  Now that I'm home, I've imported the photos into Aperture (or iPhoto) from the camera and no longer need the photos on the iPad.
    I can't find a way to delete them except:
    one-by-one.  VERY time consuming
    importing them into a photo app again, selecting remove photos, then deleting the new redundant photos from the phot app
    There must be a better way...
