How do i delete photos on iphone 4 that were synced in itunes

Any idea why they cannot be deleted straight from the iphone?

Because this is not how it works. Never has been.
You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them and sync.
The iphone is not a storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your comptuer.

How do I delete photos from my iPad that were synced with my old mac?

I understand that I have to delete synced photos by unchecking them in iTunes on the Mac I synced the iPad with, but what do I do when I have a new mac that doesn't have the same photos as the iPad? How do I delete them then?

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

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...

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 an IPad that was synced with a Macbook?

Hope someone on here can help!
We own both a Macbook and an IPad. When we linked them, the IPad brought over ALL (like, around 2000) photos from the Macbook. I would like to delete these from the IPad, but it won't let me.
Any suggestions on what I need to do?
Thanks!

Deleting photos on iPhone 5 that were imported from another phone?

Hi, I just have a question regarding the deletion of photos from my new iPhone 5. The photos in question are not photos that I have taken since I got the new phone but those that were transferred from my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) by an agent in the store where I bought it. The photos appear in an album called 'sii pics', presumably created by the agent, but there appears to be no option to delete them: there is no trash can icon, no delete button and the album doesn't appear in iTunes either. I have posted this on my phone carrier's community support website but they couldn't come up with an answer. Anyone here have any ideas? Thanks.

If the photos came to the new iPhone after being synced in iTunes to a computer, then you will need to uncheck photos in iTunes for that new iPhone and sync/Apply the changes.
If these photos are listed in the My Photo Stream on the new device, its becasue both phones are using the same Apple ID in Settings > iCloud.
If you want to use the same account, everything will continue to sync from Settings > iCloud that is turned on, turn off Photos in there to stop uploading photos to My Photo Stream, or Delete Account and either don't use iCloud or set it up with your own account/email address.

Deleting photos off iPhone 5c that were automatically synced from an iPhone 4s?

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 ipad that I synced from my computer?

Is there a way to do this? I've tried resyncing with a new folder, but then can't delete the old folders that are on my ipad?
Help?
Belinda

Synced photos (e.g. those that aren't in the Camera Roll album) can only be deleted by de-selecting their folders when connected to your computer's iTunes and re-sycning. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder.

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.

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
