How do I delete photos from my ipad that have been imported directly from a memory card.

  I have searched loads of forums and they all talk about using itunes to delete photos, but this seems to only apply to photos that orginated from a PC. The photos I am trying to delete were loaded directly on to my ipad from a memory card and don't appear in itunes. I know I can delete photos individually on my ipad but I have hundreds of them, The only option I have found that comes close to what I want to do is back-up ipad, delete photos I don't want to restore (not sure where to find back up or how to delete), rebuild ipad and restore -  this seems a long winded way of doing something that would take less than a minute in windows. I have an ipad1 and am running windows 7 on a standards Windows PC.
Many Thanks in anticipation that someone will be able to help me
Regards
Keith

Photos copied to the iPad via the camera connection kit (and those taken with the iPad or saved from emails/websites etc) should appear in Windows Explorer on a PC so you should be able to delete them from there - those types of photos should make the iPad appear as a camera to your computer. You should also be able to delete them at the end of the photo import process via, for example, the camera wizard.

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How do I delete photos on my iPad that were added with the SD card adaptor?

    I added photos to my iPad using the SD Card Adaptor over a year ago.  They now appear in the 'Photos' tab on the iPad.  They are not in Photo Stream and they do not appear in Albums under Camera Roll or Last Import.  I have connected my iPad to the PC and opened the DCIM folder and they are not there at all.
    I have Googled this question repeatedly and can not find an answer. I have viewed many YouTube tutorials that I thought would give me the right answer and... nope.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks Clyde.  But the photos do not show up in iTunes either!
    Well, let's just say, that I can't see them there! All I see in iTunes under Photos is the option to Sync photos.

  • How do I view movies using apple tv that have been imported into iMovie?

    I am trying to view movies using a second generation AppleTV that I imported into my computer from my video camera using iMovie.  I tried importing them into iTunes after importing them with iMovie but it creates a second copy of the movie and I don't have room on my hard drive.  Can I view them on my Apple TV without importing them into iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iMovie is an editing application, you import raw footage, edit it, export it and if you don't have a lot of room trash the original files. It is not intended to be used for finished movies.
    Video footage for editing needs to be in a different format than it does for delivery, delivery formats (m4v etc) are highly compressed and take up considerabally less room than footage in an editing format.

  • How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • Can someone tell me how to delete photos off my iPad that came from my iPhone?

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    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.
    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream on my 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.

    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me

    how do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me?

    Your computer's iTunes can only be used to remove photos that were synced from a computer (or to sync different folders), it won't show camera kit photos or photos taken with the iPad.
    You should be able to delete them either via Image Capture, Aperture or iPhoto on your Mac (they should let you import and delete them ; in Image Capture you should be able to select and delete them via the 'no entry' bottom left without importing them).
    In the Photos app in thumbnail view you should be able to select the photos that you want to delete via the Select button top right of the screen and then tap the trashcan icon top left ; if viewing a photo fullscreen then tap the trashcan icon bottom right to delete it.
