HT1386 removed photos from ipad and itunes still syncing them

I had photos on my PC that I synced to my new iPad. After a month I decided I wanted less photos on the iPad. I connected the iPad to the PC and went into iTunes. Under my d evice, i went to the Photos tab. I unchecked the Sync Photos checkbox. It showed that the photos were removed from the iPad. perfect...but then iTunes said "Syncing Photos to Kim's iPad". It says it is copying photos (960 of them!)
What is it copying where?? help-please
thanks

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

I would add that if you don't want to delete the photos from your computer and want them off your iPad, then (1) create a duplicate folder of the photos to be deleted on your computer (select the folder, then cmd-D), (2) rename the duplicate to something else (thus retaining your computer's photos under a different name), and (3) opening the original folder--the one that was synced to the iPad originally -- and drag its contents to trash. Don't drag the FOLDER to trash---drag its CONTENTS to trash. Now resync this empty folder to your iPad. The photos on the iPad will go away, but you still have them on your computer. I know this is clunky but it works. It sure your be nice to allow you to delete individual photos from a synced folder on the iPad! (and iPhone)

Does deleting iCloud account remove photos from phone and iPad?

I know this has been answered, but I am still confused.
Will deleting my iCloud account remove photos from my phone?
I've read just "iCloud"- but where is this?
Long story short, I got married the month before I got my iPad, being a newlywed I wasn't thinking I would find my husband impregnating another woman and moving in with her behind my back so I figured creating an iCloud name with his last name would be good to go. Obviously not. Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them. The games are whatever, I plan on starting those over because I'm sure that I can't keep my progress. Do I have to re-download them?
Also is there a way to uninstall an update? The 7.1 removing of full contact pictures when recieving calls was a bummer

> Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them.
Transfer them to your computer to keep them safe. If you lose or break your iPad you'll lose them without a backup.

Trouble removing photos from iPad

I'm having trouble removing photos from my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1. In iTunes I've told it not to sync ANY photos. When I first changed this it asked me if I wanted to remove the photos currently there, I said yes and they disappeared. But when it finished syncing they had reappeared despite the fact that it now claims I don't have it set to sync any photos. I don't have photostream enabled. I've tried syncing a couple of times, but no luck. Any ideas? (I searched the forums but everything I found was people who didn't understand how to use iTunes to manage iPad content...that's not my problem..) (also it is like 3 gigs of pics so I don't really want to delete them all by hand since there isn't a way to batch delete...)

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then select and sync an empty folder to the iPad and see if that removes them - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Remove photos from Ipad

I have thousands of photos on my ipad (most not even taken with the ipad) and I cannot remove them. I am not sure how they got there. I think most of them are on my desktop and icloud. But not sure how to verify because I do not want to lose any. Photos are taking up too much space on the ipad and preventing me from loading music and movies.

Which iOS version are you using?
Are you also using iCloud?

I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

Can remove music from iPad via iTunes, but space remains consumed

Hi,
I'm trying to remove music & photos from my iPad, so I can make space to backup my GoodNotes files. I have ~3gb free, but apparently this isn't enough. So, I managed to delete all of the music from my iPad via iTunes, and it is now completely removed off of my iPad. However, there is still ~3gb free. The space the music consumed is still not free and I don't know why.
Attached is a screen shot of the issue. As you can see, all of the music has been deleted, but the bottom bar still dedicates that amount of space to 'audio.' There are no songs in the music heading under 'On My Device' either. I managed to make it so that the bar showed 8gb of free space, but when I synced nothing changed and 3gb was still all that was free.
What do I do? I don't know if my GoodNotes files will remain intact if I restore my iPad.
Thanks in advance.

iTunes no longer says my space is consumed by audio. I did a software update and now most of the space is in the 'other' section.
I usually try to back up GoodNotes to Google Drive, and no, there are no files in the file sharing area on iTunes. The issue with backing up the GoodNotes files is that it gets maybe 30 minutes into the process and then I get a message to say that there is no more space left to continue. Storage usage says GoodNotes consumes 3gb of space on its own, but I don't believe it is accurate.
I really don't know what to do, and these files are important for my university work, so I'm hesitant to risk losing them.

Computer crashed, can't remove photos from iPad

Hello all.
I got an iPad 3 this past summer, and synced some photos to it through iTunes on my Mac. Unfortunately, a few months later that Mac crashed and I had to get the entire harddrive replaced. (On the good side, I didn't lose anything because I'm a master of backing up my files.)
Anyway, the problem I have now is that I no longer want many of those synced photos on my iPad, but I cannot delete them the way that I know from research that we're supposed to...by connecting it to the computer that the images were synced from...because that computer technically no longer exists (the outsides to, the insides don't.)
So how am I now supposed to delete these images? I've connected the iPad to my new-harddrive computer and my laptop, but of course the synced images on the iPad don't show up in iPhoto on either computer. I don't sync my iPad to any computer anymore. I'm strickly iCloud, which I love.
I've spent a few weeks doing internet searches to help myself, but keep coming up against the same answer, which doesn't apply in my situation since the computer no longer exists. Help? Thanks.

There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

Hello all!
Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
Thanks!

The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

Is there another way to delete photos from ipad 2, other than sync. i want to delete one or two photos every now and then.

when sync, you lose all photos.. and have to start over. i am using picasa to get my photos.. i noticed when you take a pic from the ipad 2, you can delete
any photo you want.. i would think that it should be the same no matter how you put photos on the ipad... has any one found a solution to this..
I will keep try different ways..

You only lose photos when you sync, if you don't have the photos you want to keep on your iPad checked in Photos in iTunes. And no, the only pictures you can delete directly from iPad are those you took with iPad. All other pictures are managed through iTunes.
