I need to delete photos from iPad without accessing original computer

I have an iPad 4 and an iPhone 4S. I need to delete photos on my iPad which were sync'd several years ago with an old Mac and I can no longer sync it. How do I make this happen? The photos I need to delete will not let me delete them. So frustrating!

Do you have a Mac you can connect the iPad to? If so then launch Image Capture, connect the iPad and try to delete those photos with IC.

Delete photos from iPad without iTunes.

How does the photo let you do this?

Not possible with photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete photos from the iPad that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process is via the iTunes sync process - except for erasing all data and settings from your iPad.

Hey guys I need to delete photos from the very first IPad sold on the market, how I do it, when I bring the photos to be view I don't get the little garbage can to trash them. Help please!

Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView

I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?

How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad. We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream. I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook. I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad... Any ideas?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

Deleting photos from iPad moments

Does deleting photos from iPad "moments" delete them from all devices (like from Photo Stream) or only from the iPad?

It deletes the photos from the Photo Stream so it will also delete it from the Photo Stream on all devices.

Tap and hold your finger on the X
You should get a message in some cases that it will delete your stored app data - say OK if you want to proceed
The wiggle mode should stop with a press of the home button - not a hard reset
Reset your phone and see if the behavior changes - there is no data loss - Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I have experienced great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and synced with computer and iTunes and deleted from computer and then synced again but managed to get hundreds more unwanted photos.

I have had great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and connected to computer and iTunes but cannot find anywhere to click on delete I also deleted photos fro computer and synced again and then found hundreds of more photos on iPad which were unwanted at the same time I lost a film I had purchased from iTunes and The soundtrack of film from iPod

Photos that were synced from your computer you should be able to delete by movin/removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (or de-selecting the whole folder if you want to remove the entire album from the iPad).
Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. They should also appear in Windows Explorer on PC where you can delete them, and in iPhoto on a Mac you can delete them after importing.

Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

I would add that if you don't want to delete the photos from your computer and want them off your iPad, then (1) create a duplicate folder of the photos to be deleted on your computer (select the folder, then cmd-D), (2) rename the duplicate to something else (thus retaining your computer's photos under a different name), and (3) opening the original folder--the one that was synced to the iPad originally -- and drag its contents to trash. Don't drag the FOLDER to trash---drag its CONTENTS to trash. Now resync this empty folder to your iPad. The photos on the iPad will go away, but you still have them on your computer. I know this is clunky but it works. It sure your be nice to allow you to delete individual photos from a synced folder on the iPad! (and iPhone)

Is there a way to select all when deleting photos from iPad?

I am trying to delete about 1000 pictures from my iPad and am trying to find a more efficient way to do so instead of selecting each individual picture. Is there a way to select all when deleting?

How to delete photos from iPad when original pics are no longer on computer

Hi
I need to clear photos from my iPad that were synced from my computer some time agi.
Since sycing those pics from the pc to the ipad, I cleared up my pc and backed up the photos onto discs.
How do I now delete those pics from the iPad, as the the images cant be selected and resynced from the pc anymore?
Please help.
Thanks
Angela

If you create an empty folder on your computer and you sync that folder as your photos folder, that will erase the photos from the iPad when you sync. Or you can unselect the Sync Photos From heading in the iTunes window and then sync to remove the photos.
