I am unable to remove imported photos from the iPad.  The red delete button does not come up and synching did not help. Any ideas

I am unable to delete photos that have been imported from a camera.  The red delete button does not appear and synching with the photos ticked and then unticked does not work either.  I have also tried attaching the iPad to the PC and looking for the photos using windows file management. However the only photos that I can find are those taken by the iPad itself. I am confused about why something that should be simple is not.

If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

    If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

    I don't think so, I think it stores them on the cloud. I just did a test on my own iPad and although I deleted the source image in the Photos app the image remains in the Photo Stream

  • I've got Lightroom 3.3.  Every time I try to import photos from my iPAD 2, Lightroom crashes. Fixes?

    I can't import photos from my iPAD 2 into Lightroom.  Crashes every time.  Does anyone have a way to do this?

    Apple iPad 2 requires Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3), or an upgrade to Windows 7:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13282479?messageID=13282479
    XP SP3 update is available for free, more information here:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pa ck-3-sp3
    Make sure you backup ALL your data files and LR catalog files, etc. The only problem I encountered with SP3 update was loss of my ATI graphics card TV tuner. Apparently SP3 loads newer versions of graphics drivers, which may not be compatible with all cards. Unfortunately there is no way to "test" if your desktop/laptop will be affected, and MS does not provide the option to only install certain components (i.e. Apple iPad 2 compatibility update). In my case, reinstallation of the original ATI CD graphics drivers fixed the TV tuner problem.
    My best suggestion is to first check the manufacturer's support website for XP SP3 issues relating to your specific model desktop or laptop. The XP SP3 update is required by many new devices and software applications. If you intend to keep your current system and stay on XP, then it makes no sense to put off this major update. Upgrade to Windows 7 is an option, but many older systems have non-compatible hardware and software on them. You can run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check compatibility here:

  • How do I import photos from my ipad that are not in the saved photos folder

    I do have a saved photos album and was able to import those. However, I have several other folders and I can't figure out how to get the photos from my iPad to my new iMac. Or for that matter, into the saved photos folder. This is my first experience with iPhoto. Any help? Thanks!

    If you want to remove all of your synced photos .....
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
    Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right or in the left sidebar, if you have the sidebar enabled.
    Click on Photos at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
    Uncheck the "Sync Photos From" heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    IF that doesn't work, create an empty folder on your desktop and call it "Empty Folder". Select that folder in the "Sync Photos From" heading in the photos tab of iTunes and then click on Apply. That will also remove all synced photos.

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!

    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

  • HT201302 How to import photos from an ipad to a windows 8 pc????

    i am trying to transfer my photos from my ipad to my pc, i am using windows 8. There is no autoplay pop up available and the ipad does not come up in the computer folder. please help its really frustrating.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have no issues with iTunes...music and movies (anything purchased from the iTunes store...including books) syncs beautifully. And I almost always use my PC in Desktop mode because the new Window 8 is so odd to work with... really weird that the Windows 8 OS doesn't recognize the iPad as a device with removable storage... it calls it a USB driver instead and won't allow access through usual means. It's okay though, because... drum roll please...
    I just found the cure!! Purchase for $2.99 from the app store an app called "Photo Transfer App" by ERCLab, LLC. Pay for it once on your iPad and then it will tell you how to download the free counterpart on your PC. After doing that, it took me all of 5 minutes to do what I've been attempting for the previous four hours... and you can do it using wifi! You don't even need to connect the devices. There are plenty of alternate options, too. If the devices don't recognize each other right away, you just type in a URL on your PC's browser, refresh and drive on. It was easy peasy... and I used it to transfer video! Def worth the 3 bucks!

  • I imported photos from nikon d600 to lightroom 5. but i don't see it on bridge cs6. help?

    i imported photos from nikon d600 to lightrroom 5. but don't see it on cs6 bridge. how do i know where it was downloaded to?
    i see the folder in lghtroom under the hard drive, but can't see it on bridge?

    Hi
    Then it's not my advice.
    There are two very important things about this.
    • NEVER - move or alter any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects on DeskTop/Finder - at all !
    All changes must take place inside the iMovie Application - else connections break ! and iMovie can't find them.
    Move Events and Projects back and hope that they will be found.
    • The external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - not for iMovie nor FinalCut.

  • I need to remove my photos from my ipad to make room for movies not sure how to go about doing this.

    Hi, I need to make room for some movies on my ipad, but i have to many photos how to i take the photos from my ipad but leave them on my iphone and desktop computer? Thank you

    If the photos were synced from your computer then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the right-hand side on the Photos tab select an empty folder and sync just that to the iPad and the currently synced photos should be removed from the iPad - that won't affect your iPhone unless you also do the same de-selection when it's connected.
    If the photos were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then you can copy them off the iPad first (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and you can then delete them directly on the iPad in the Photos app via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
