I have updated my iPhone4 to ios5. tried using the photo lib, camera roll and creating new albums. I have also transferred photos to the new album and it great.Is there a way to delete a photo in a single album and not everywhere?

Hoping to get an answer

You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

    Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

    The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
    Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have?  Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess.  If you  did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

  • How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too.  It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
    You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc.  But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?!  If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

  • HT204022 Is there a way to delete unwanted photos from an iPad?  The Photos app on the iPad 3 has no option to delete photos that are synched into it via iCloud or iTunes.

    Is there a way to delete unwanted pictures from the Photos app on an iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to the photo sheet page (the one with the thumbnails) tap the edit button in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete to select them, tap the delete button in the bottom right corner.

  • Is there a way to delete a photo library from the phone?

    Is there a way to delete photos from the photo library so I can have more space on my phone. I have already copied the pictures to my computer, but now I want to get rid of the pictures all together on my phone. Is it possible? Please help!!!!

    Yes, you are able to remove a photo library in your albums. what you have to do is unsync the album from your phone in iTunes. Find your device in iTunes, then select the photos tab at the top of the page, uncheck the box that says sync photos, the click on apply at the bottom of the page, let it sync and then all that photo album will be removed off your phone.

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos on iPhoto?

    Is there any way to delete duplicate pictures on iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 ?  Thanks

    Yes.  You can use one of these apps:
    iPhoto Library Manager, 
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto Applescript to Remove Duplicates - free
    Personally I use iPhoto Library Manager as it offers other features that are very useful.

  • Is there a way to delete an ebook from my iPad a and just leave it in the icloud

    I have books in my iPad from Kindle.Is there a way to delete the read books from my device and just leave them in the iCloud ?

    They are actually the same. If you delete the book and then tap on the Cloud Button at the bottom of the app - you will see that the book has disappeared from the device and is now in the cloud in your Amazon account. If you tap,on the arrow on the right side across from the book icon - it will download again to the iPad.
    Try it a few times. I just deleted four books and downloaded them again. They will come back - honest.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple photos from your iPhone?

    I'm trying to free up some space on my iPhone by deleting photos. It is taking me forever though because I have to select them one by one to delete them and then do the same thing to permanently delete them. Is there a quicker solution?

    Greetings Emmzy088,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like a faster way to delete photos on your iPhone other than selecting each one. One possibility that you may not have considered is importing your Photos to your computer and choosing to delete the items after import. Please reference the attached article for more information. 
    iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
    Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
    Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
    Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
    Tap the Action button.
    Tap each photo to select it.
    Tap the Delete button.Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Is there a way to delete all photos from phone at once, or does it have to be done individually?

    How can I delele all photos from my iphone?  Can I delete all at once, or do I have to go through and delete each one-at-a time?  I'm trying to free space for more photos, and they are already in the cloud and on my computer.  Thanks

    Are these photos in your camera roll? If so, you can't delete them using iTunes, & if you've already imported them to your computer, but left them on your phone...you're not clear on that...I suspect whatever program you used to import them doesn't see them anymore...is that correct? If so, you'll have to either mark to delete one at a time, or use third-party software to delete them.

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

  • Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

    My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll.  After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

    "Why doesn't Apple fix this ?  "
    Because it is not broken.  it works exactly as intended.
    "If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
    Apple has it figured out.  That is what is on the iphone.

  • I have updated my iphone4 to IOS5 but all my text messages have disappeared.  How do I get them back?

    I have just completed an update to IOS 5 and restored by phone from back up but all the text messages have disappoeared.  How do I get them back?

    Not for the iPhone. Go to Safari, go to maps.google.com, then add the bookmark to the desktop and you have most of what was in the native Google Maps app.

  • Is there a way to erase duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in I photo in bulk?

    As long as you're seeing the duplicates via the iPhoto window and not the Finder these applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • Is there a way to delete certain messages that have already been deleted?

    I have some deleted messages that I want permanently deleted. Is there a way to delete individual messages permanently?

    If you do not have a backup, it's gone no matter who deletes the messages.
    If you have a backup, you can restore from that backup to retrieve the messages.
