I can't delete some photo/video iPhone 4S iOS7.0.4 (11B554a)

Hello,
I am not able to delete some photos and videos on my iPhone 4S, (32gb, ios 7.0.4). It is 3gb worth of videos and photos. The photos are not in my camera roll (i deleted that to zero) and the videos are not in the video app. When I go to album view I cannot delete some albums, I can delete some but not others. There is a folder/album called video and that is where I have a bunch of videos.
I tried to go to iTunes and just resync my photos to nothing (sync with selected photos and select nothing) and that is not working because iTunes is saying that it is not Authorized. I try to re-authorized the computer only to be told that it is authorized. I backup and sync again and basically cant even sync my iphone anymore. Backup yes, sync no.
This must be an ios7 problem because I had no trouble before.
How can I delete the 3gb worth of photos and videos? how can i delete the albums that are not offered to delete ?
thanks for any input!
Olias

Never mind guys, I found out how to fix my problem. The problem I had was that I downloaded an app on my iMac, and used it to import videos and pictures from my ipad to my computer because for some reason, it wouldn't sync, and I didn't want to use the cloud. Anyway, I had to go on my iMac and delete it from the app I downloaded and viola! The videos that I wanted to delete are all gone

I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app.

Hi,
I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app. I tried shutting the app down and opening it again, but it doesn't help. What should I do?
Thanks

I had this problem to but I figured it out. Basically the photos are there because your photos on your computer are synced into your phone differently, not sure how it works. But plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, click on your phone, go to photos and uncheck the "Sync Photos from:" Option at the top. A message should pop up asking whether you want to keep or remove the photos already on your phone. Click remove, and there you go

If this resolves the issue of your computer and iTunes recognizing the iPhone but you continue to experience difficulties with Picasa I recommend contacting their support team for additional assistance.

How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
Suggestions?

Can't delete SOME photos from my iPad Photo Album

Hello there,
I need a bit of help. I'm using an iPad 2 OS 6.0.1.
There's a few photos that I'm not able to delete from my Photos folder.
I click on the Photos App
Then click on Edit
I then get the option to put check marks on the photos. At that point I can click on the Delete button and delete SOME of them, but not all.
It's strage because some of the ones I can't delete, just seem to be duplicates of some of the ones I CAN delete.
In the past, I was syncing my iPad to my computer. Since moving to the iCloud, I've stopped plugging my iPad into any computer. I've read some message boards that say that this is because those photos were added by syncing to the laptop and that in order to remove them, you have to re-sync to the laptop.
One BIG issue is, that laptop is now not functioning. Assuming these photos were added through that laptop, is there a way to remove them without syncing to that laptop? Also, why would there be some duplicates. Would it have been an error in the sync process that created the dups?
I'm thinking MAYBE the answer is going to be to sync the iPad to my NEW laptop. If that's the answer, is that safe to do without risk of losing stuff? (music, movies, apps, app data, settings)
Thanks,
Bill

Can't delete old photos from iPhone - sync doesn't finish

I don't sync music (iTunes Match instead). I got the iPhone 6 largely to show photos, synced with Aperture. However, there are two kinds of problems: sync no longer finishes, so nothing new is synced to the phone; and I can't delete thousands of photos on my phone from earlier syncs.
I have tried many things that have sometimes worked for other people, including unchecking the Sync Photos box, checking it and syncing with an empty folder or an empty folder with one image, syncing the phone to iPhoto instead of Aperture, syncing with a different computer, resetting the iPhone, and more.
I also Restored the iPhone from a backup, which at first that worked - no old photos on the iPhone. But once I checked the box to sync with Aperture, all the old events and albums reappeared even though they don't match my current Aperture set-up.
When I try to sync, I get messages saying "Waiting for Changes to be Applied" and then eventually "could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish" though sometimes I've had to just interrupt it.
The bar on the bottom of the iTunes Summary page jumps around from session to session, showing either the number of images I want to sync or a much larger number that probably matches what's actually on the iPhone. But right now the bar in iTunes shows 17.34 GB of photos, with 26 GB Free; on my iPhone, Storage says I have 4.2 GB Photos & Camera; with 38 GB available.
The Other bar in the Summary line has at times been 5 or 6 GB; right now it's showing 256 MB.
Suggestions?

Mine appear to be on-and-off. Same with my wife. Changing PC (or Mac, if you will) or browser doesn't make a difference.
My case is still open - senior advisor verified that his wasn't working either - but no response.
I guess they're too busy.

Can't delete some music from iPhone

I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.1.2.
Sometimes I want to change the music I have synced up with my phone, and I will try to add or delete music. When I add songs, everything is fine, but when I delete them individually, they won't always delete. The file doesn't appear in the iTunes playlist on my (broken 2009-era) PC after deletion, but it appears in iTunes on my phone and will play from time to time. I can select it from the list, too, as though it were never removed. Help - what's wrong? Is this an iPhone problem, an iTunes problem, or a file problem?

I think the problem is that all the music shows as in the cloud but not necessarily on the phone, is there a way to just show whats on the phone, its my sons phone but connected to my itunes account.

HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices. To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll). To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import. You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you only want to delete them go ahead. Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

HT4847 i deleted some photos from my camera roll on ipad by mistake trying to get more icloud storage. can i get them back?

I was trying to free up icloud storage in order to back up my iphone 5 using my ipad.

Now I read that doesn't help to free up space...not sure what does free up space so I can back up my phone again. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community bonwal.
Are you sure you deleted them from your camera roll and not from photo stream.

How can I delete some data so I can back my iPhone up to the icloud

I want to back my iPhone up to the icloud. How can I delete some data

DO NOT start iTunes. Connect your phone to a computer and then access the photo folder, should be the only folder that will appear when you access your phone through the file explorer. You are looking for the DCIM folder. Open it and then either copy the photos to a folder on your computer if you want to save them. Then you can delete them from your phone.
Or you can simply go into Pictures, Open the folder you want to empty out, Tap Select, Tap the pictures (Sorry but you have to touch each one) and then tap the trash can.
And remember that if anyone has messaged you a picture it will be in Messages and also taking up room.

Also to add to what Ana said, if you've been importing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 to your computer as you would a digital camera. Then you can sync http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 them back to your phone using iTunes.

HT201317 if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices. You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space. However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently). If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space. If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.

I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.
