HT6154 How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were not taken on my phone, but somehow got synced with my computer?

I have many photos on my phone that I want to delete. They were taken with a camera and imported to my MacBookPro. When I synced my iphone, the photos got added to my phone. I cannot delete them. How do I get rid of them?

You delete them by syncing again using iTunes. If you want to delete all previously synced photos, remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (after you have connected the phone and before you sync). If you just want to remove some of the photos, change the selection of photos to be synced in that same page on iTunes. Each time you sync via iTunes, the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone are set to match the current iTunes settings.

    how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were transferred from iPhoto to my phone?

    I recently transfered most of my photos from my iphone to iphoto on my macbook. A couple of days later I transfered some of them back onto my iphone, but now when i look at them on my iphone there is no way to delete them there. Ive tried everything but nothing works. I simply cannot delete photos on my iphone that were transfered there from iphoto.
    I thought apple was supposed to make things easier, but apparently not.

    Correct. You need to Un-sync them using your Computer.
    Basically do the opposite of what you did to get them on your Device.

  • How do I delete photos from my Iphone that were originally on my computer

    How do you delete photos that were imported from my computer  from an Iphone?

    You'll have to remove the photos from the album on your computer and then sync the iPhone again, or choose the option to not sync that album in iTunes.
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

    How do you delete pictures on your iphone that were downloaded from your computer or memory card?

    There is NO other way to get photos off your phone, that were synced to your phone, other than through the iTunes sync process. Just make sure there are no checks, in any boxes, for any photos, that you do not want on your phone.

  • How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How do I delete photos from my iPhone that have been downloaded from my pc?

    I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)

    "I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc"
    The same way you put them there.  The sync process.  open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone , sync
    "or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)"
    You can delete them when you import the photos to your computer - using whatever softare that you import them with or you can go to the pics and hit the trash can on the bottom of the screen.

  • How do i delete photos from my iPad that were imported from a camera

    On a recent vacation, I backed up some 1,100 photos onto my iPad each day.  Now that I'm home, I've imported the photos into Aperture (or iPhoto) from the camera and no longer need the photos on the iPad.
    I can't find a way to delete them except:
    one-by-one.  VERY time consuming
    importing them into a photo app again, selecting remove photos, then deleting the new redundant photos from the phot app
    There must be a better way...

  • How do I delete photos from my iPad that were synced with my old mac?

    I understand that I have to delete synced photos by unchecking them in iTunes on the Mac I synced the iPad with, but what do I do when I have a new mac that doesn't have the same photos as the iPad? How do I delete them then?

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
