    As soon as you sync your phone to a different computer & put a check in the box to sync photos under the photos tap in iTunes, then hit the apply/sync button, all of these photos will be erased from your phone.

  • I cannot remove photo albums from my iPhone. The tutorial shows a removal button, but there is none, can someone help me?

    I want to remove photo albums from my iphone, since they are eating up my storage capacity. The tutorial says I should be able to 'change' and then select 'remove' , but there is no such thing as a remove button... Can anyone help me?

    How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
    Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
    Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • How do you remove photo albums from Iphone4?

    I have been trying to remove photo albums from my Iphone4 which have been synced from my PC. Is there any way of doing this without taking the phone to the staff at the Apple Store?

    Connect the phone, click on the Photos tab and uncheck the albums you want to remove. Then sync.
    BTW, the staff at the Apple store won't be able to do it unless you take your computer to them.

  • How to remove photo album from IPhone 5

    I copied a photo album from my PC to my IPhone (for a slideshow at a funeral).  The photos did not originate on the IPhone.  Now I want to remove this photo album, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.  The Iphone does not appear to allow for removal, and the album does not appear in ITunes on my PC.
    The Settings>General>Usage tab allows me to delete all of my music, thus allowing me to reinstall what I want, but this feature isn't available for photos.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    An excerpt from this support document: iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • Removing photo albums from iPhone & iPad

    I Have several photo albums on my iPhone and iPad that I want to delete, but when viewing photo albums and click on "edit", there's no option to remove anything.  I've logged into my cloud account to remove them, but there's nothing referring to photos.

    How did those photo albums get on the iPad in the first place? If they were copied to the iPad by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync to delete them. Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your ad in iTunes and then click on the  photos tab In iTunes. Deselect the albums you want to delete then click on apply or sync.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??

  • Having trouble removing photo albums from iPhone 4S

    I have several photo albums on my iPhone that I would like to remove, they were created after i downloaded pics from emails, the pics do not have a trash can icon for convenient deletion, I cannot see these albums on my pc when i try to access the files in regular folders (which would be nice and convenient) and I cannot access these albums in anyway through iTunes (as far as I can tell), what can I do to remove these albums I wonder?

    If you created the albums in the Photos app, then, in Album view, touch the Edit button. Any Album that you can delete will then have an "X" in the upper left corner of its album icon. Touch the "X" to delete that album.
    Other albums that were created by syncing with a PC can only be deleted by syncing with iTunes on that PC with the album unselected.

  • Removing photo album from desktop

    I accidentally moved a photo album to my desktop and would like to remove it. How do I do that?

    cindy,
    I got you now..ha
    If you want to use a different album in iPhoto, choose another album and then hit the desktop icon.
    If you don't want to use any albums in iPhoto for you screen saver,
    Open System Preferences, found in your dock or Applications folder.
    Click on the Desktop and Screen saver pref pane and choose a different folder of images to use as the desktop and a different screen saver.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

  • Hi i have an iphone 4 that needs to be updated but my phone is using the cellular company simple mobile via gsm chip and my phone isnt jailbroken will this mess up my phone.

    hi i have an iphone 4 that needs to be updated but my phone is using the cellular company simple mobile via gsm chip and my phone isnt jailbroken will this mess up my phone.

    If your iPhone is truly unlocked - purchased as unlocked through Apple
    or through wireless provider that sells unlocked iPhones or unlocked
    by a wireless provider, then the update should not mess up your iPhone.
    If your iPhone was jailbroken or hacked to change wireless providers,
    then the update will relock it to the original wireless provider if you are lucky
    or turn it into a useless brick if unlucky.
    Back up first to protect against glitches or other problems.

  • HT4847 I no longer have the iPhone & do not need the extra storage in Icloud. How do I cancel this?

    I no longer have the iPhone & do not need the extra storage in Icloud. How do I cancel this?

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
    Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
    However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    Poster 'CCrefund' has posted a method applicable to users in the UK: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21002309#21002309
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
    and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

  • If I have mistakenly started to download a song or album from iCloud on my iPhone, can I stop the download?

    If I have mistakenly started to download a song or album from iCloud on my iPhone, can I stop the download?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Need to remove 'Returns' Qty from the plant (MMBE)

    In stock overview MMBE, there is no unrestricted qty. but there is some Qty in "Returns", how we need to remove this Qty from this plant..there is no stock in transit for this material for this plant? but there is some stock in transit in some other plant.
    I am not sure what the purchase order/STO is.  I have reviewed all of the past stock transfers with this material on them and cannot find one open, they need to get this material removed.
    Please suggest how we can remove this Returns Qty from this plant (MMBE)?
    Thanks in advance
    Suresh..

    if you have stock in returns status in MMBE, then you can move it into unrestricted status with 453, into own blocked status with 459.
    this returns stock is created when you post a goods receipt to a return delivery. returns stock is not financially owned by you, it is non-valuated stock until you transfer it with an extra movement (453 or 459) into own stock.
