How do you delete photos from the photo library and photo stream?

I have photos that were sent to me by email that I accidently saved to my phone. I would like to delelte the photos but there is no "trash" in the Photo Stream or Photo Library. I cannot figure how to delete the photos.

You cannot delete photos from photo library. Photo library is just a huge view of every photo on your iPhone. It is not meant to be deleted unless you do it from iPhoto. However, the only way to delete photo library off your iPhone is to also delete the photos you synced. Think of photo library as you would with your iTunes library: it is just a giant list view of all your music (photos). But then you have playlists (albums) which organize the photos. Also, the photos are not duplicates. When you view a photo from an album, it is the same photo as in your photo library. It's just a shortcut. It takes up no space. However, photos saved from an email should be saved in your camera roll and can be deleted. As for photostream; if you go into it, and hit edit, you can select photos to be deledted. To delete the whole photostream, go to the list of photostreams and hit the blue arrow on the right of the name and you should see an option to delete the photostream. Hope this helped! Good luck.

How do you delete files from the iPod?

i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
30GB iPod. Windows XP 30GB iPod.

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.

Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:

How can you delete items from the cloud?

I am trying to delete some items from the cloud but can't figure out how. Does anyone know how.

You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.
You have 3 options......
    1.    Purchase more iCloud storage.
    2.    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.
    3.    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.

If ya dont wanna download something coz its using all ur credit how do we delete it from the download list and it stays off coz everytime i go back on it it brings it up again

im new at this lol just wondering if anyone knew how to delete something in ur download list if u dont wanna download it?

Deleting the download will not stop it from using your "credit" in iTunes. The content has already been purchased.
You could simply let it download or delete the entry from the downloads page.

How do you move songs from the 'iTunes library to 'Jenni's iPod Selection'?

I have 2 folders with songs in them: iTunes Library and Jenni's iPod Selection. Whenever I download music, they are automatically saved in the 'iTunes Library' folder. But when I hook up my iPod to download them into the iPod, the songs are downloaded from the 'Jenni's iPod Selection' folder. Most of the songs are in the iTunes Library folder... Can someone help me?

Song that are imported from CD or downloaded into iTunes are always going to be in iTunes music folder. Can't change this.
Any reason you don't want this and you have music stored in "Jenni's iPod Selection"?
Why not add it all to the iTunes music folder and create a playlist called "Jenni's iPod Selection".

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!

Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

How do you delete photos from the albums on 4S?

How do you delete photo's and why is there the camera roll and Iphone roll? most ae duplicates?

Photos synced to iphone have never had a trash can. You delete them the same way you put them there - the sync process.
If you do not want something on the iphone, then go to the phtos tab, deselect it and sync.
Photo Album is not a duplicate. It is simply another place from which to access the same pics as you have in your synced albums. This is how iphone handles photos - always has.
All photos synced to iphone can be accessed from Photo Library. Those very same photos can alos be accessed from your individual photo albums.
