I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?

I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?  I go to the photo app, then albums and 2 show up, I tap edit and nothing happens...  I just want to delete these...

How did they get on the iPad ? Only albums created directly on the iPad can be deleted via the Edit button.
Albums/photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync, or you might be able to delete all synced photos/albums by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button, but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

    If you created the albums on the iPad you can delete them there.
    If the albums were synced to the iPad via iTunes you must unselect the albums in iTunes and re-sync to remove them.

    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.

  • How can I delete photo albums from my iphone

    I uploaded albums from computer to my iphone and now it's in there twice, one as the actual album and then the entire album is copied to my photo library. I dodn't need to have all the pics in 2 albums and I can't delete them individually.

    If I understand you correctly they are not in there twice your photo library is just everything on your phone, the photos albums and the photo library are just accessing the same picture.

    How do I delete photos on my iPAD?

    To delete photos, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Delete.  To delete albums, to delete an album, tap Edit, then tap the black "x" on the corner of the album.
    Note: this will not delete photos or albums (folders) synced to your iPad from your computer.  Those can only be deleted by deselecting them on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

    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.....

    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.

  • Is it possible to upload an entire photo album from my iPad to Facebook? I can upload photos one at a time, but cannot figure out how to share an entire album.

    Is it possible to share an entire photo album from my iPad on Facebook? I can share photos one at a time, but cannot figure it how to share an entire album.

    Not direct with the FaceBook app, but there are some 3rd party photo uploading apps that work in conjunction with FaceBook allowing the upload of multiple photos at once. Check an app named iLoader for this.

  • Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Those are photos that were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, and they can only be removed by syncing them off.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and uncheck the photos you want to remove, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  If you want to remove them all, uncheck Sync Photos.  If you only want to remove some of them, remove them from the folder that you are syncing your photos from.
