I sync photos from my comp onto my iphone 5 and it made my phone create two new albums which won't delete. HOW DO I DELETE THEM?

I uploaded photos from my laptop onto my iPhone 5 through iTunes and when I went into my photos app on my phone, I went into "Camera Roll" to see if they were there which they weren't. So I went to where all the albums in my photos app are and I saw that two new albums called "iPhone" (name of folder with photos in I wanted to transfer that was in my documents before I sync them) and "Photo Library". When I went into both albums I wanted to see if I could delete them, so just like every other photo there is a trash can on the bottom right corner but for the photos in these albums didn't have it. I then went back to the list of albums and clicked on edit, hoping the little red circle with a white line would come up so I could delete it, just like I do with any other album, but these two albums didn't give me the option to delete. I tried going into iTunes to see if I could delete the few selected photos from there but it wouldn't let me. I tried going into the devices thing which was suggested for iPhone 4s people but it didn't have everything else people told me to do. I am an extreamly fussy person and want them to go away but I just can't delete them because they won't let me. Is there anyone who has been through the same situation and ended up deleting the albums off their phone? PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!! (I'm not talking about albums we choose to make because that's easy and actually lets me delete them as these two albums won't)

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

  • HT4236 Is there a way to sync photos from my computer onto my Ipod touch 'Camera Roll' album?

    Everytime I sync photos from my computer onto my ipod they go into two different folders, and not the camera roll. I really want to have them in the camera roll and was wondering if there was a way to do so,
    Thanks.
    Georgia.

    There is, but I would avoid that method if I were you.
    The Camera Roll (on an iPod Touch) is where photos taken on the iPod, screenshots taken on the iPod and also saved images are located.
    Although other people may alternative suggestions, I regard the Camera Roll a temporary loctation, until the next Sync with iTunes. At that time, it is wise to move the pictures from the Camera Roll and put them somewhere on your computer. This means that when (rather than if) the iPod requires a Restore, you don't lose your pictures, since a Restore will remove all content from the iPod, and only put back onto the iPod what is on the computer.
    For safety, I copy the Camera Roll pictures, into a folder which will then put them back onto the iPod in the Photo Library, and only once sucessfully copied, do I then delete them from my iPod' Camera Roll.
    As for the two different folders...
    You can only choose one folder on your computer to Sync with your iPod, named for instance, "Piccys" and in there are (for example) general photos. However, also in that folder, you can have sub-folders, named for instance "Family" which have only photos of the family. Once the folder "Piccys" is Synced with your iPod, when you look in the Photos App on the iPod, you will see a list of sections;
    Photo Library
    Family
    The "Photo Library section" will have all the photos, both from the "Piccys folder" and the "Family folder" listed as one list. However, if you look in the "Family section", you will see only the photos in the "Family folder".
    So in your situation, I suggest that you create a sub-folder in your chosen "Sync folder" and place all the Camera roll pictures in that. What you certainly should not be doing is leaving photos in the Camera Roll or trying to put other pictures into the Camera Roll. That will be a recipe for disaster.
    By the way, in my experience, the more pictures in the Camera roll, the slower a Sync becomes.

  • I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking?  Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
    The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
    The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox.  When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
    All users are in the folder "/Users/"

  • Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The  Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

    Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone.  Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices. 

    I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
    The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

  • How do i sync photos from my iPhoto to my iPhone camera roll?

    I want to sync my 'last 12 months' album only iPhoto into my iPhone camera roll. But whenever i try it makes it a separate album.

    You don't.
    Camera roll is temporary storage for pics taken with the iPhone.  You should be importing these to your computer regularly.
    When you sync photos from your computer, they go into the Photo Library under the folder name that you chose to sync.

  • HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

    If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.

  • Syncing photos from iphoto on imac to iphone 4

    I have a new iphone 4 32GB. A lot of my photos in iphoto are in RAW format. The size is 3.9 GB. Can I sync these with my iphone or is it better to change them to jpeg images first (which would be a lot of work). Do I have 32GB of space in this iphone. I am not good at this stuff. Also can i sync the photos into my iphone and delete the ones I don't want from my iphone or when I sync again will they all come back again. Am I making sense? I love the technology but do not understand how all this magic happens. Thanks anyone.

    I could very well be wrong, but I do not think the iPhone recognizes RAW. I believe you will need to convert to jpg / png or another recognized format. Use a program that will bulk convert images from RAW to JPG. On a PC I use ACDsee, not sure what is available for a Mac.

  • Syncing photos from iTunes to my iPod Classic and iPhone

    Hi, here is the issue....when im syncing my iPod and iPhone, everything syncs over except my photos. Under the photos tab the box is checked and the folder is chosen on what I want to sync, but iTunes is not sending them. I didn't have this problem originally and the photos were syncing to my iPod just fine. When I upgraded my iTunes, now the photos are missing on my iPod and they will not sync to the new iPhone (which I love!!) Any suggestions?

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
