How do I delete photos on iPad that were copied from a computer?

How do I delete photos on iPad that were copied from another computer or SD card?

If they were synced from a computer then you can't delete them directly in the Photos app on your iPad, you will have to connect your iPad to your computer and use the iPad's Photos tab in your computer's iTunes to change your photo sync selection to exclude them
If the photos were copied onto the iPad from an SD card via the camera connection kit then you should be able to delete them in the Photos app e.g. via the Select button top right if viewing the photos in thumbnail view in Photos.

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • How do I delete photos in iPad not currently in ITunes?

    I'm doing this for wife who has iPad, (1st gen; not new iPad 2). When she got it she wanted, "her photos," from her computer in her iPad. Happy to accomodate, I managed to load all 3,000 photos from her Nikon Picture Project software into her iPad. Now she does not want that many and I've been trying for a month to delete all of them. They are not in iTunes or I'd uncheck them there and re-synch, which, I'm told would wipe them out.
    I simply don't know how to delete them.
    Can anyone help? Thanks,
    Dennis

    HERE IS THE ANSWER: Use your Mac computer and open the "Preview" application. 1. Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone).
    2. Open the application named "Preview" on your Mac (Click on the Macintosh HD icon or open the Finder application and search for the application named "Preview," then click on the application to open it. Or look under Macintosh HD > Applications > Preview.)
    2. In the Preview application toward the very top of your screen, click File > Import From Camera (then click on the name of your iPad or iPhone)...
    3. Near the lower left corner of the Preview application, click on the icon with the four tiny squares. That will give you a better view of all of your pictures.
    4. Select the pictures you want to delete.
    5. Click on the red delete icon at the bottom of the screen. (Looks like a red circle with a slash through it.) That will delete the pictures. 
    This works for iPhone, but not iPad.  No pictures show up in preview as they do with iPhone.
    BTW, Command/Click, as usual, allows multiple photo selections and then click Delte button to delete many photos. 
    Too bad this doesn't work for iPad.

  • HT4623 how to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer

    How to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer?

    Resync the iPad with the computer, but before doing so, click on the device once it is hooked up to iTunes. You will see the Device Profile to the right with several tabs - Photos being one of them. Select the Photos tab, and either uncheck the Sync Photos box at the top (if you don't want any of the photos to be on your device), or uncheck the selected photos you no longer want to sync.

    Hi QuisB123,
    If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L 

  • 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.

  • How do i delete photos on iPad?

    how do i delete photos on iPad?  i cannot delete ohotos in the photos folder of the ipad?  i took the photos using the iphone, they synced with the ipad and imac thourhg icloud, but they will not delete on the ipad.  i have been succesful lin the deleting them on the iphone and imac, but the ipad will not allow me to delete them!

    Your terminology is a little confusing.
    If you "synced" the iPad with iCloud - to me that means that you use Photo Stream and that the photos are in the Photo Stream album of the iPad, if they are in the Photo Stream - you can select the photo in Photo Stream and tap the Edit button - and then delete the photo. It will delete that photo on all devices from the Photo Stream.
    If you "synced" the photo to the iPad via iTunes, then Diavonex post above will answer your question. But you could not have synced the photo to the iPad via iTunes without importing it to your computer or dragging it from the Photo Stream folder in iPhoto - then onto the desktop - and then place it into one of the folders in iPhoto that you include in your sync.

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

  • Ow do i delete pic from ipad that were downloaded from computer, ow do i delete pic from ipad that were downloaded from computer

    How do I delete photos from ipad that were downloaded from computer during a sync?

    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 - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
