How to delete photos that are "saved images" on iphone 5?

No iCloud
Win7 Professional
iPhone says 1631 pix, 88 vids, and 12GB
Camera roll says 773 photos, 9 vids
iTunes says 1719 pix, along with 12 GB used
I have individually deleted massive numbers of pix. Not a problem; just can't get rid of the "remnants."
For iTunes: I set up an empty folder under My Pictures, sync/selected and applied, then unchecked sync and applied - nothing.
I also set up a new folder with just the pix that I want on the phone, synced (selected that folder only), hoping to replace all content with those photos. Nope.
Most of my photos happen to be from emails or pictures that I have taken.
Any suggestions will be gratefully considered. Thanks in advance!!! Going berserk here.

Greetings desertrat8,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have a lot of saved photos on your iPhone and would like to delete or remove them. Deleting them manually from your device is one way to accomplish this, but a more efficient way to remove them all would be to erase them after importing. The attached article explains how to import your photos to a Windows computer. After the import, you will be given a choice to keep or delete the photos on your iPhone that you have just imported to the computer. Please reference the attached article for further information.

Have a great day,

How to delete photos that appear twice in my iPhone 4 ?

I want to delete all the double of some photos that appear suddenly in my iphone. I would like to, but it's impossible to delete them because there's not the little image to click on it to delete the photos that I want to delete !
I also wanna know what do i need to do to make it never happen again (photos that appear twice).
There are 3 albums in my iPhone that all the photos in the albums cannot be deleted, again because oh the little image to click on it to delete photos that isn't there.
(sorry for my english I'm french and I'm not bilingual )

These are photos that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
All photos transferred from your computer via the Tunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. If you transfer one or several photo albums or folders of photos to your iPhone, all photos in the albums or folders of photos are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the albums or folders below Photo Library are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space. The photos in the albums or folders of photos below Photo Library include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder of photos, or you can view all photos transferred from your computer in all albums or folders of photos by selecting Photo Library.

How to get photos that are saved under Events in iPhoto to external drive

Hi,
I do photo slideshows on my Windows PC. I have all my photos under specific names Events in iPhoto on my Macbook Pro. How do I get a group of photos onto my Simpledrive external hard drive. I have tried to save it to desktop then drag the folder in the Simpledrive but it does not work.
I was hoping someone out there could help me please.
Thanks
Dave

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mount the external drive and then open the destination folder
Run iPhoto and select the Event then 'Select All' (command-a) and drag those items to the destination folder (just tested this on a zip drive and it worked as expected)
Make sure the external drive is correctly formatted for the Mac to write to, while it can read NTFS it must be FAT32 for writing.

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

For example, if I delete a photo from my iPad, doesn't it stay in the cloud?
If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll. If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup. If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them. Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

How to delete photos that i backed up before in all of my devices?

Same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Photos tab, remove the check marks next to the folders/albums you don't want on your phone, hit the apply/sync button.

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.

It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.

Where do I find my photos that are saved when the backup is done?

Where do I find my photos that were saved when my latest backup was completed on my device?

Backup -- from what device to what device?
What device are you looking for the photos on?

HT201302 How to import photos that are imported from itunes back to iphoto?

I had imported photos from Itunes( Iphoto ) to my iphone and i deleted all the photos in Iphoto. Now I wanted to control some of the photos but I can't! If I sync photos again, all the photos will be gone. So I wanted to import the photos in my Iphone back to Iphoto. Anyone knows how?

The iTunes transfer process for photos from your computer is a one way transfer process only. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution is changed/lowered, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but the original resolution of these photos deleted from your computer will be lost and the 3rd party utilities are not supported by Apple.

Deleting photos that are in Smart Previews

I observed that when photos are deleted while in a smart preview collection the photos are not removed from the smart preview collection. Resulting over time in a large smart preview file with unused photos, consuming your hard drive space.
It is therefor important only to delete photos when they are first discarded from the smart preview catalog.
When eventually photos are removed while they were available in the smart preview catalog the work around to delete them is to locate the catalog named: "Lightroom 5 Catalog Smart Previews.lrdata" and to open it with Lightroom. When opened you can select the photos and remove them. After that you can remove the folder from your Lightroom folders and the file itself will consist of only 0 bytes.
It would maybe a good idea that removing photos automatically would discard them from the smart preview.
I hope this was helpful.

Smart previews are discarded upon startup if it's been more than an hour since photo was removed from catalog.

Deleting photos that are assigned

If you delete photos in the camera roll, that are asigned to contacts for call id, will they also be removed from the contact? I remember if you erased the photo on a nokia it was still left asigned to the contact even though the photo was deleted... Havent tried it yet and since i havent got my phone now i was wondering if someone could let me know. Also please try closing and opening the phone just to make sure it wont leave the contact info after restarted.

How to put photos that had been copied to iPhone back in computer???

How do I copy photos that I had stored on my iPhone back to my computer?
This is what has happened:
My hard drive recently died.
My TimeMachine iPhoto library was corrupt after the restore and, after I opened an earlier backup, some photos disappeared from my iPhoto library. Luckily I had transfered some of these missing photos to my iPhone.
Only the latest camera roll from my iPhone shows up in the import window in iPhoto.
When I click the sync button for photos in the iTunes window, it warns me that all photos in the iPhone will be wiped and replaced with the new iPhoto library (which is old/incomplete since a recent hard drive failure) but there is no way to merge photos on both devices nor to transfer my photos from my iPhone to my computer...
Anyone know how to get photos from the iPhone to my computer (not just the last roll, which can be imported easily when phone is plugged in)???

There are no options really to get access to the photo files unless you use some 3rd party tool that we cannot help with here.
Also note, when you synced photos over, they got "optimized" for the iPhone (made smaller) so even if you got them off, they will not be the original quality.
One option you can do is go to your photos, when looking at the thumbnail view of them tap the icon in bottom left (arrow looking icon).
Then start tapping all your pics to select them.
Do NOT use the Share option (as that will make even smaller copies to email). Instead when done selecting all the ones you want, choose the Copy command at the bottom.
Then leave and go to Email.
Start a new email to your self.
Paste the images in (will take some time if you picked a lot).
Once it has finished processing, email it.
This will send you the size/quality of the image you have on the phone (as mentioned not the same as original).
Then on computer check email and save out the files.
