HT4236 Problem deleting photo albums from device - previously synced from PC

I am unable to delete synced photo albums from my device and do not know why. I have changed my settings when syncing to try and remove the photo albums but the albums are still on my iphone.
I cannot delete the albums manually on the device either.

You have to deselect the albums/folders/photos, under the photos tab in iTunes, then hit the "Apply" button to remove synced photos from your phone.

  • How can i delete a photo album that has been synced from another computer

    I am trying to delete a photo album that I do not need anymore from an iPad 4. But the album has been synced from a computer that I don't have access to anymore. Is there anyway around this ?

    Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by connecting to a computer's iTunes and changing the sync selection on the device's Photos tab.
    Is that the only album that was synced from that computer (and you now sync the iPad to a different computer ?), or do you have other albums from it that you want to keep on the iPad ? If you want to keep one or more albums on it then they will need to be on the computer that you sync to so that they can be selected on the Photos tab and re-copied to the iPad from that computer. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder

  • HT4236 Not all photo albums i select are syncing. Anyone have an idea why?

    Not all the albums I select are syncing.  I go to Device > photos >select "selected albums" then choose the albums i want on my ipod touch then hit apply. when its "done" syncing I check my photos in the ipod and only two albums show up out of the 9 i've selected. And theres this stubborn album that won't go away. anyone know what the problem is? And its NOT a software update issue, ive updated it several times.

    Error 1009 means you are attempting to download from the AppStore in a
    country other than the one you are located in or from an AppStore other
    than the one you have an account in. That error can also mean that you
    are in a country that is blocked.
    If your government has blocked AppStore, Apple must comply. Get your government
    to remove the restriction. This is not a decision by Apple, but by your government.

  • Delete photos on my iPad that sync from my computer

    My iPad sync all the photos I have on my computer and I want to delete them from my iPad but not able.
    Trying to find the way to do it in iTunes but didn't see how... Please help!

    1. Rename My Picture on computer to My Picture 2
    2. Create an empty folder and call it My Picture
    3. Sync the empty My Picture folder with your iPad; that will remove all the pictures on your iPad
    4. Delete the empty My Picture folder
    5. Rename My Picture 2 back to My Picture

  • Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

    I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3  from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc.  I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • How do I delete photo albums from Ipad 2?

    How do I delete photo albums or photos in photo albums from IPad 2? 

    If the photos that you want to delete are in the Camera Roll, just tap on the photo that you want to delete, then tap the trash can in the upper right hand corner and select delete. If you are in the thumbnail view, tap on the curved arrow icon in the upper right corner and then tap on the photo or photos that you want to delete, then tap on delete in the upper left part of the screen.
    If the photos that you want to delete are on the iPad from a previous sync with iTunes, you have to sync to iTunes to delete them. Deselect the photos in iTunes while your iPad is connected and then sync and the photos will be removed from the device

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • HT204022 how do i delete photo albums from an ipad?

    how do i delete photo albums from an ipad? (Not Photo Stream)

    Hi,
    If you have created album with iPad say in Photos App then simply hit the edit button and an X will appear in the top left corner of the album icon and you simply tap this to delet. It does not delete the photos, just the album.
    Recetly this stopped working for me and I had to do a complete shut down, not just a quick sleep, and when restarted iPad it was working again.
    If you created the album in say iPhoto or Aperture and synched it to iPa via iTunes then you need to delete it in iPhoto/Aperture or remove it from synch list in itunes to keep on Mac but remove from iPad.
