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 backup pictures from 'photo library"

I've been to 3 different stores across the US and no one can answer my questions or just say that my pictures are pretty much lost.
I had a 3G and a 15 MBP that had pictures of my daughter on them at birth. I had to send my MBP back to apple to get fixed and at the time the rep at the store asked if I had backups. I told him the only thing that mattered to me were the pictures on there at the time and that I had a copy of them on my 3G phone and I could synch them to my 17" MBP.
Fast forward, and A) my time machine backup doesn't work from my 15" MBP B) I can't figure out how to get to the pictures to get them off.
Now let me clarify B some.
When I go into the photo albums I have "camera roll" "photo library" "last 12 months" and "last import". I can back up Camera roll to iTunes or download pictures directly from the phone in windows - what I can;t figure out is how to get the pictures out of "photo library". That's where my daughters pictures are.
I have a copy of these pictures on my 3GS phone from previous sync, but the upgrade to the iOS 4 has completely ruined them (the blurry image issue) and the only originals I have left are on the 3G.
I could individually mail each photo to myself if I swapped out my SIM card, but that's a lot of photos to email.. an easier solution would be appreciated.

Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which is where photos that are captured by the iPhone are stored, can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera even though these photos are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone alone for these photos as with any other digital camera, and the same for the iPhone's backup which stores a significant amount of other data.
Photos in the iPhone's Photo Library include photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone only via the iTunes sync/transfer process, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are not included with the iPhone's backup. These photos should be included with your computer's backup. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are a number of 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.

How to choose a picture from photo library on iPhone ?

Hi guys,
I am trying to upload a picture in "Photos"(I mean phone photos library) from the app. Actually I don't know how to code it.
Can you suggest me for this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Well this is a 3-part project:
1) To allow the user to select a photo from the iPhone library, create an instance of [UIImagePickerController|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ UIKit/Reference/UIImagePickerControllerClass/UIImagePickerController/UIImagePickerController.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40007070]:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
2) To get the data from the selected photo, implement [imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:|http://developer.apple.co m/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIImagePickerControllerDelegateProtocol/UIImagePickerControllerDelegate/UIImagePickerControllerDelegate.html#// appleref/doc/uid/TP40007069-CH3-SW8] in the picker controller's delegate:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
UIImage* image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
NSData *jpegData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation (image, 1.0);
// dismiss controller and start upload here
3) Upload the jpeg data. Of course the details will depend on the site (E.g. see [ObjC - Post a UIImage by using NSData and NSURLRequest?|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/743903/objc-post-a-uiimage-by- using-nsdata-and-nsurlrequest]).
If you've never uploaded image data or an image file to a web site, step 3 is going to be the hardest, and in that case I would rcommend another thread with a title like "How to upload image to URL". Hopefully that will get the attention of programmers who have more experience with that topic than I do. Anyway it's an entirely different subject than you've described in the title of this thread.
Even if you have experience uploading data, I would recommend working on steps 1 and 2 first. You could check your work by adding these lines to the delegate example above:
BOOL result = [jpegData writeToFile:@"/Users/Raiden/Picture.jpeg" atomically:NO];
NSLog(@"jpegData=%@ result=%d", jpegData, result);
Once you get the desired picture into your test file, you can work on the upload, confident that your source data is correct.

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

Syncing pictures from photo version 1

On my MAC, iPhoto is no longer available and has changed to Photos. I have been syncing my iPhone in iTunes with the option to sync pictures from iPhoto. This apparently is no longer working. I have selected the "Copy photos from:" to Photos, but no pictures are coming up to sync with. What am I missing?

You won't be able to copy them via iTunes or iPhoto - only photos copied via the camera connection kit or saved from websites/emails can be copied via iPhoto (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). I think the assumption is that if you've synced them from a computer then you've already got a copy of them.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 :
+Pictures that have been synced from your computer to your device cannot be reimported back to your computer. Only pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos can be imported from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email them directly from the device to yourself and then copy them from the emails to your computer.+
Depending on how many photos you're talking about, and whether you've got access to the computer where they came from, I don't know if there is an easier way of doing it other than emailing them.

Cannot remove pictures from photo library

hi everyone... somebody can help me to delete pictures in photo library?

To remove images in the Photo Library you need to use iTunes.
iTunes puts those images on the iPhonel it syncs them from a source on your computer.
So you need to use iTunes to 'unsync' those images to remove them.
Hope it helps.

Deleting photos from photo library on iphone

Hello people,
i am a new user of iphone and i am not able to figure out the solution for deleting photos from the photo library of iphone.please help me out with this.i will be very glad if i am provided with the solution.

To add even more details and help
One thing about the iPhone and Windows users (not sure what happens with Mac users) is when you first get your iPhone and hook up to your computer and go into iTunes to go do your first sync. The default for where it will get your photos to sync is the "My Pictures" folder for your user profile.
Many realize after that first sync that they just synced tons of junk they never really wanted on the phone (as for many Windows users, there are sample pics, temp pics, etc all in that folder and subfolders.
You will find it far easier to go make a folder someplace on your computer.
For Example:
C:\IPHONEPICS (though I personally wouldn't make it at the root like that, but this is just for example)
Then COPY pictures you want to go to your iPhone into that folder.
Then back in iTunes for the Photos option (tab) for the iPhone, choose the option to select a different folder other than "My Pictures" (drop down).
Browse and select that folder you made.
Now when you sync it will sync with that folder that you explictly put photos you want on your iPhone.
The reason I said put copies there is that later if you want a photo off your phone, just delete it from that folder on you computer then sync. And when you want new pics on your phone, just put copies in that folder and sync. Far easier to manage.
As a final tip. In that folder you are allowed to make sub folders to make Libraries on your phone. But note, you can only go one folder deep.
For example:
C:\IPHONEPICS is what you made to sync to.
Now you can create in there
C:\IPHONEPICS\FAMILY
C:\IPHONEPICS\PARTY
C:\IPHONEPICS\MISC
C:\IPHONEPICS\GIRLNEXTDOOR
And put copies of pics into each of those folders. They will be different libraries on your phone. But note you cannot create:
C:\IPHONEPICS\FAMILY\WIFE
As that is two subfolders deep.

Is it possible to export pictures from photo library to a notebook or PC?

I have been tryin to export folders of photos to my new HP notebook computer. I transferred the bulk of photos to a memory storage stick. But I had deleted the photos from my previous Dell Inspiron 1705 computer. When I try to sync up through ITunes, I can't do any exporting of the folders. Can I store them on an internet site? How can ot be done?

The photos contained in the photo library are not accessible. These pictures were synced from your computer to your iPhone via iTunes. They should still exist on your computer.
The photos in the photo library are a reduced resolution (i.e. not the original photo).
If you truly do not have the originals and have no backup, you can email those pictures to yourself. You might also be able to find a solution by searching google.
There is no Apple/iTunes way to pull the pictures out of the photo library.

How can I upload from photo library in my iPhone

I recently added pictures from my mac (iphoto) back on my phone (after getting a new phone etc.) Now I have pictures in camera roll album, which I understand are the pics I am taking with the phone, then I have photos in the photo library which are photos I imported back from iphoto.
What I don't understand and need help with is that photos that are in the photo library on my iphone I am not able to upload in say..facebook or instagram.
Is there a setting I need to turn on? It only gives me an option to choose pictures to upload from the camera roll but not any other folder. HELP!!
Thanks!

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
