How do i delete photos from my phone that were downloaded off a computer i no longer have

I have 2 photo albums that won't delete when I go to edit my folders. I understand this is because I have taken them from a computer and put them on my phone. I also understand that if I plug my phone into the computer and go to iTunes I can select which photo albums I want on my phone and which ones I don't.
The problem I have is that the 2 albums I have on my phone are from an old computer I don't have anymore. And they are not on my new one that I'm using now. So when I go to selected photo albums in ITunes, those albums are not there for me to delete.

Try going to iTunes and remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" and then do a sync to see if it will remove all of the previously synced photos from the phone. If that doesn't work, try changing the selection of photos to be synced so that only one new photo is sent to the phone. If that successfully deletes the photos on the phone you can then select any photos you want added back to the phone and sync again. Note that each time you sync, iTunes sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes settings.

  • How do I delete photos from the gallery that were downloaded from FB or google?

    New user.  I am trying to delete photos from my gallery in the Samsung S4.  If I had taken the photos with the camera phone, the trashcan shows up and I can delete.  But if I select the downloaded photos- no trashcan icon shows up.  I have tried stopping sync, deleting downloads etc.  It's driving me nuts!

    Checking a friends S4 I see that using the Gallery app that long-pressing checks the photo and brings up a Trash Can.  I see that tapping a phot opens it full screen and tapping once again brings up options to  send, share, or delete.  Pictures in other folders to include Bluetooth share, messaging, and screenshots produces the same results.

  • How do I delete photos from my Iphone that were originally on my computer

    How do you delete photos that were imported from my computer  from an Iphone?

    You'll have to remove the photos from the album on your computer and then sync the iPhone again, or choose the option to not sync that album in iTunes.
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • 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 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...

  • How do i delete photos from my phone that i put on from my computer

    I put photos on my phone from my computer to print them but then I updated the ios 6 and now they wont let me delete them and they have duplicated to boot. How can i get them off of my phone as they are taking up unnecessary space.

    To delete photos put on your iPhone by means of a sync with your computer you must start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in the left column of iTunes and select Photos in the right column. Then deselect the albums of photos you no longer want on your iPhone and click on Apply.

  • HT204022 How do I delete photos on my phone that were synced in from iPhoto? I do not want these photos on my phone!

    This is what the website says to do:
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream you want to remove, tap People, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete Photo Stream (if you’re the owner).
    You can also tap Shared, tap Edit, tap the Remove button on the left side of the shared stream you want to remove, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete (if you’re the owner).
    However, when I go into my photos app, there is nothing that says "shared" at the bottom of the screen.

    unsync via itunes
    plug device into computer - open itunes- click name of device click photos- uncheck all photos you want to remove- sync or apply at bottom
    Peace, Clyde

    My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • 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 you delete pictures on your iphone that were downloaded from your computer or memory card?

    There is NO other way to get photos off your phone, that were synced to your phone, other than through the iTunes sync process. Just make sure there are no checks, in any boxes, for any photos, that you do not want on your phone.

  • How can I delete photos from my phone

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.
