How to delete albums from photos

Purchased a iPad Air at the w/e, loaded some pictures using iTune, now would like to delete the albums. What is the correct way of doing so

Hey urbkuhl,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to remove synced photos from your device. The following article outlines how to do so:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
1. In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
2. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
3. Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
          Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
4. Click Apply.
Enjoy your new iPad Air!
Matt M.

  • IPad 1,  how to delete albums in photo?

    I have an ipad1 with ios5+  operating on it. I want to delete albums in photo. How do it do it?

    1. If album was created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete it using the Edit button.
    2. If album was synced from a computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to reconnect the iPad to your computer's iTunes, de-select that album/folder on the Photos tab and re-sync.

  • How to delete albums from iphoto?

    There is clear instructions from within iPhoto to delete Journals but nothing about deleting albums.  How do I go about doing this on an iOS device - iPad or iPhone?

    Albums are deleted using the Photo app or by syncing with your computer.use the Photo app to delete photos in the Camera Roll, All Imported and Last Imported albums.
    To delete other albums start iTunes on the computer that you normally sync with and connect your iPad. Select your pad in the left column of iTunes on your computer. At the top of the right column select Photos.
    In the list of Albums below deselect those albums you want to delete. That click on Apply in the lower right corner of that window.

    Synced photos cannot be deleted on the iPad. Only photos taken with the iPad and transferred with the Camera Connection Kit can be deleted.

  • How to delete album in photo apps?

    A friend loaded 291 pics into Photo apps of my iPad from his mac. I am using Windows Vista, I would like to delete for ever all those pics. How to do it? Than k you.

    Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by re-syncing. So connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, and on the Photos tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left, either select a folder of your own photos to sync or just select an empty folder - as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, when you sync your photos (or empty folder) the existing synced photos will be removed.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

    How can an album be deleted completely from "Photos" on an I-Pad air?

    Hello Crick256,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you would like to delete an album off of your iPad.
    If you created the album on the iPad, you can tap the Edit button when viewing the list of albums and then tap the x icon to delete the album:
    Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.
    Delete an album:  Tap .
    Only albums created on iPad can be renamed or deleted.

    How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. 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.
