How to delete a photo album from iPhone using a new hard drive & a later version of iTunes

I'm using the same computer but with a new hard drive and a later version of iTunes. I previously loaded a photo folder from my PC to my iPhone, but I inadvertently did it twice, giving each folder a different name -- "Photo Library," and "Widget Photo Folder." Of course, I also have the "Camera Roll" folder on my iPhone. I now want to delete either the "Photo Library" or the "Widget Photo Folder" from my iPhone. On iTunes in the Photo tab, I don't have the option of deselecting the folder in my PC that I previously synced. Apparently, iTunes recognizes that the privious sync was not done with the new hard drive? How, then, do I remove one of the photo folders from the iPhone?

You CANNOT delete photo album.  ALL pics synced to iphone are oin photo library.  Those exact same photos, NOT duplicates, can be accessed from the individual albums.
This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in a playlist and in the library ( there is only one song, simply two ways to access it), photos are in the library and the same photos can be accessed from the album.

  • How to copy iphoto library folder from Time machine to new hard drive

    How do I copy my iphoto library and music library from my time capsule to my new hard drive?
    I have a Macbook pro - 2.53 GHz - 4 GB memory.  I just replaced my hard drive to 500 GB and upgraded to OX 10.9.4. I created a new user account and login password for the new hard drive.  I copied my documents folder to external drive before the old hard drive failed, but I was not able to copy over my iphoto library or imusic library.  My old hard drive was regularly backed up on my time capsule (1TB).
    I used migration assistant to transfer my user account to the new hard drive (1 of 3 on the time capsule).  The data transferred successfully, but at login the login name  does not match the user folder. Nor do any of my passwords allow me to login to the transferred username/account.  When I login to the account that I set up on new hard drive I can see the userfolder migrated in but the folders do not allow entry.
    What can I do now at least to get my photos on the time capsule onto my current hard drive? Can I go into my time capsule like an external hard drive and simply copy over my iphoto library from the last back up of the old hard drive?

    You probably tried to move a user account from your TC to your computer that was already active on the computer.. this is one of the no no's that pondini lists.
    See how to migrate. http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    There is a huge amount of info there about transferring files.. that you must not have a user account of the same name as the one you migrate.. and how to transfer files between migrated accounts.
    He also has specific info on moving itunes and iphoto stuff here.
    Q15 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    You might need to fix up permissions or reset the password for the account.
    There is details here..

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??

  • 1st Sync from iPhone 4S to New Hard Drive

    Is there a way to do this and preserve two pages of icons/formatting that I already have on the iPhone?  When I select "Apps", my iPhone's icon formatting is displayed but it is greyed out.  If I then select "Sync Apps", iTunes warns that all existing apps and their data will be lost on the iPhone.

  • How do I delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    What is the easiest way to delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    Depends on the album and how it got there.
    If it is an album that you sync'd to the device, you would remove it the same way - by hooking up the device to sync, de-selecting the album in the Photos profile screen, and then syncing the device
    If it is an album you created, you would need to manually delete the album itself by clicking on Edit from the main display and then clicking on the minus sign to delete the album. This does not delete the photos in the album, however. If you want the photos deleted, you have to select them and then delete them manually.
    Camera Roll photos will ask if you want to delete them when you import the Camera Roll to a computer.
    Photo Stream photos are either deleted manually, or you can turn off Photo Stream altogether to remove Photo Stream from your device.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    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.
    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.

  • IPad: how to delete a photo album

    How do I delete a photo album from the iPad?
    I read somewhere that you should tap Edit and then tap the album. But that does not work. I have three albums, iPad will only let me delete the last one I created.

    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 on your computer and then re-syncing

  • I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?  I go to the photo app, then albums and 2 show up, I tap edit and nothing happens...  I just want to delete these...

    How did they get on the iPad ? Only albums created directly on the iPad can be deleted via the Edit button.
    Albums/photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync, or you might be able to delete all synced photos/albums by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button, but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • How to delete paused application download from iphone

    Hi,
    Can anybody please let me know how to delete paused application download from iphone.

    Hello, flowerpet1.  Thank you for your reply.  Interestingly, your instructions worked on my iPad Mini, where I had the same problem.  The update module was listed under "Usage" and I was able to delete it.  Although I still have the red circle with "1" in it over my Settings icon on the home page, the status under Software Update is now "Download and Install" instead of just "Install".  Also, the available storage on the Usage screen has increased by about 4.2 GB.
    On my iPhone 5S, however, I'm not quite sure what the situation is now.  The IOS 8 update module does not show under "Usage".  However, the status under Software Update has also changed to "Download and Install" instead of just "Install"--but without my doing anything to the phone.  Maybe the update file was removed from the phone when I removed it from the iPad.  I don't remember what the available storage was before, so I don't know if I recouped any space.
    Anyway, your reply was a big help.  Thank you very much.
    Jack
