HT4236 How do I remove synced photos from my IPhone?

I have tried to delete my photos that I have synced from my photo library and it just won't work! I followed the Apple Support directions and still nothing, the photos are still there!!!

Hello there, Shrid.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
Additional Information
Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.
On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

How do I get synced photos from an iPhone?

I just visited a couple of friends and we took some photos with their camera. I wanted to bring the shots home with me so we loaded them into iPhoto on their iMac and created an album with the new photos. I then used iTunes on their iMac to sync that album to my iPhone (replacing everything but the camera roll on the iPhone).
I'm now home and have tried iPhoto and Image Capture but neither will get the synced album from the iPhone; they just get the camera roll. How do I get these photos off the iPhone and into my MacBook Pro?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

You can e-mail them to yourself.
The picture sync is one way - computer to iphone. There are also not of the original quality, as they are reduced in quality when synced to iphone. It may be best to have your friends e-mail you a full quality photo.

How do I remove synced photos from my Ipod back to the computer?

I had to replace the hard drive in my laptop and now I have lost all my photos that were placed in my Ipod from my files. How do I take the photos back off of the Ipod and into the laptop? Thanks!

You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
The ipod is not a backup device. The photos sync is one way - computer to ipod.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
Did you fail to backup your pics?

How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

How do I sync photos from my iPhone to my ipad?
THank you!

As user Winston Churchill told another user with your same question:
"Enable photo stream synchronisation on both devices in settings> iCloud. Note; only photos taken after synchronisation is enabled will be added to photo stream.
To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device."

How do I remove individual photos from the ipad without changing the photo album in my lap top where the photo album is stored??

How do I remove individual photos from the ipad2 without affecting the photo album in my lap top where the photo album resides?

You don't.

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

How do you remove a photo from I pad ?

how do you remove a photo from I Pad ?

Photos synced from a computer can only be deleted via a computer. If you no longer have access to the computer that you originally used then you can sync new photos (or just an empty folder if you want to remove them all) from your new computer which will remove all previously synced photos.
If you want some of them to remain on the iPad you will need to copy them onto your new computer from your backup so that you can re-sync them; if you don't have a backup then there are third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can be used to copy photos off your iPad to a computer via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
