How to remove photos from photo library?

I am new to the iPhone & use a Mac. In iTunes I have unticked the box sync photos from on my device, however I still have the photos showing on my iPhone. How can I remove them?

Not sure that I have the answers, but messing around with my iPhone 4 (had it 2 days) and using iPhoto on my iMac, here's what I've found...
the Photo Library is just a duplicate or reference file to any other photo synched to the iPhone. If you have 'faces' in iTunes checked when you synch, it will put those files in the Photo Library also... basically you can click Sync Photos from 'iPhoto >> check Selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include 'no events' >> choose the Albums you want synched. THEN, be sure to uncheck Faces .... this method will still combine all your synched photos in the Photo Library folder on the iPhone, but there will be a lot less....
at least that was my issue...

    Contact the person who took the photo and ask for a clean copy.
    If you don't know the photographer, chances are good that your use of the photo would be a violation of copyright.

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

    how to delete photos from photo library iphone4s?

    Nope I am using the same Photo Library, not the camera roll and by the looks of it you don't have your iphone updated to the newst version because I have an extra field in the bottom bar for photostreaming.
    When I go in any of the above folders I can remove pictures as well as you can see in the pictures below!?
    Hope this helps...

    How to delete photos from photo library?

    Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck the folder containing the photos you want to remove (or to remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your device.  If you only want to remove individual photos rather than the entire folder, move them out of the folder on your computer, then sync.

  • How do I move photos from one library to another?

    I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
    Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

    To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
    Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

    how do I transfer photos from one library to another?

    Best way is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    you can export form one library and import into the other one but this does not get all metadata or versions

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

    how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

    I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
    I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
    Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button. 
    After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
    I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.

    I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

    This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
    1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
    2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
    I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
    Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
    Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.  

  • How to move photos from one library to another?

    Hi,
    I currently have 2 libraries and I want to move photos from one library into the other.
    How do I have to proceed?
    Thx
    A

    We're thinking of adding a library copy feature soon.  Hoping you can share some info here to help us understand how this might best work fo you.   Here's a few questions I have:
    - What do you use the 2 libraries for?
      - Why do you want to copy?
      - Do you have albums, favorites, and comments associated with the photos?  Do you want them copied?
    Anything else that you are hoping to accomplish here?
    Thanks in advance,

  • How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

    how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
    this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
    thank you

    If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
    You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

    How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

    "Photo Library" is a place where you can access all photos synced to your iphone.  They are not duplicate photos.  It is simply another place form which to access the smae photos that are in your folders/albums
    Just as a book is in the public library and in the fiction section, your pics are in the Photo Library and in your folder.  There is only one pic, simply two places from which to access the same pic.
    If you want to delete pics synced to you iphone, then deselect them in itunes and sync.

    How do i avoid from photos getting deleted that were stored in iCloud photo library when i delete them from my iphone?

    You can't delete it from your purchased list, as that is permanently maintained by the iTunes store.  You can, however, prevent it from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.
