I can't delete the photos in iPad 4G

Question

I can't delete photos in my iPad 4G, I tick the photos I wanted to delete but the red delete word didn't light up. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Syncing with an empty folder would just require creating a folder - with no photos in it - and then selecting that folder only with which to sync in iTunes.  If you sync an empty folder - it replaces all of the photos on the iPad that are on the device as a result of the sync. You do not want to remove all photos I'm sure.
The bottom line with unsyncing photos is that you have to uncheck the albums in the photos tab in iTunes on the Mac and then sync again. When you uncheck - or deselect the photos - that erases them from the device when you sync.
But where are the photos that you have edited on the iPad? What album are they in? I do no photo editing so where they reside on the iPad dictates how to remove them.
Any photos in the camera roll can be deleted with the trash can icon or the arrow icon in thumbnail view on the iPad. Any other photos must be removed via the sync process. Photos in the camera roll can be imported into iPhoto or Image Capture on the Mac and then deleted from the iPad to save space on the iPad.
Here is another copy and paste from another experienced discussion poster - Texas Mac Man. There are instructions galore that should be helpful.
