How to delete the photo library

i did a sync on my computer to back up my photos for the first time... my camera roll says i have 1000 pictures and the computer said i had 2000+... are duplicates stored somplace... are pics thats deleted from the camera roll still stored somewhere?  how do you delete the duplicates?

Photos in the camera roll can be imported to the computer, not synced. There is a difference. Photos that are synced, are synced from the computer onto the phone. These are the pictures that you see in the Photo Library. Photos in the camera roll do not appear in the Photo Library.
If you have deleted photos from the Camera Roll, they are gone. If you do not want to sync photos to the phone from the computer, you do this via iTunes. Go to the Photos tab with the phone connected to the computer, remove the checkmark to sync, and sync again. This will remove the photos.

  • I need to know how to delete the photo library from my phone?

    My phone has way too much on it and I realized the photo library is the issue and not sure how to delete it.

    The same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Under the photos tab, in iTunes, deselect the albums/folders you don't want on your phone, hit the Apply/Sync button.

    thanks. i appreciate you both trying to help but that is wat gor rid of half my songs. thats what is on every post is telling of this subject. thaks soo much guys.
    Removing the tick from the box named Sync Photos would not remove any of your music. You must have done something else if half your music was removed from the iPod.

    can yo delete other libraries unable to delete?
    I assume you mean "can you delete films/movies or Podcasts etc. from your iTunes Library". Yes, you can delete anything from your iTunes Library by using the conventional delete method or you can delete (or remove) any of the songs, films, Podcasts etc. from the iPod. Usually this is done by un-ticking the song, film etc in iTunes and then Syncing the iPod to iTunes. That will remove the song form the iPod but leave it in iTunes unless you specifically delete it form iTunes .

    If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK.  Just deselect the photos when you sync.

    how can i delete the photo library in my iphone 4 with ios6

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

  • How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?

    Hi,
    How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?
    I have emptied the iPhoto Trash but the photos in network folder are still not deleted.
    In iPhoto Preferences, Advance, Importing, I have UNCHECKED "Copy Items to iPhoto Library."
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/philipcs/Screenshot2009-10-26at120221AM.p ng
    Please help. Thanks.

    iPhoto is a relational database management program and manages only items that it controls - items within its library - it does not and will not do anything with any photo that is not in the library except to delete photos from cameras after import - and this is not recommended
    You are running a referenced library and it is not recommended - it makes deleting photos more difficult as you are seeing, it makes importing photos more difficult and it makes replacing or upgrading hardware much more difficult

    how do i delete the photos on my phone in the phone library? it has dupilicated itself now I have over 1000 pic and no storage

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Before you start deleting photos from your phone, you need to discover why they had been duplicated. Have they been duplicated because you now have a camera roll and a photo stream album with the same photos in both.

    Are you talking about photo Library?
    This is how Apple handles photos.  ALL synced photos are in teh Photo Library.  you can also access those exact same pics ( not duplicates) from the album which you selected to sync; just as your music is in your library and ca also be accessed via playlists.

  • How to deletes the photos from iphone 4?

    How can I delete the stored photos from the iphone 4.

    I am so thrilled to report that, YES, in fact you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!
