Image capture deleted unselected photos from iphone 4s

I've always used image capture to download photos from my phone to my computer. I select a month's worth of photos at a time, save them to a folder and "delete selected after import" when done.
this time there was an error during a video clip, the process crashed. I didn't notice and disconnected my phone. then I noticed my camera roll was empty save 3 random photos and a video. I checked, and all my photos from January were backed up on my computer, but 2 weeks of feburary (over 300 photos) were just gone.
I searched all the forums and used several search and backup programs to try and locate them and nothing worked. poof, gone. they weren't even selected. why would this happen?

There is a similar discussion here: Re: My iPhone 5 camera roll is empty, but under usage says 3.1GB - how can I delete?
I've found a partial solution (outlined in the discussion I've linked to above) but there has GOT to be a better way to solve this.

  • Using Image Capture to download photos from iPhone--Date Sort

    Hi,
    I have over 2000 photos on my 3G iPhone and I use Image Capture on the Mac to pull them off.
    Since I have so many photos going back a couple years, the file names have repeated, so if I sort by File Name, stuff from last year is mixed in with this year, etc.
    Also, if I sort by date, Image Capture sorts by MONTH-DAY-YEAR, therefore my latest photos are NOT at the top/botttom of the list!
    How can I change the date format in Image Capture so that I can sort by YEAR first?
    Thanks!

    OK, here is my new strategy:
    A new feature of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 is that Image Capture (and iPhoto) will put a green check mark next to any photos already downloaded. Therefore, it makes it much much easier to figure out the new from the old.
    In addition to that, I went into my iPhone using PhoneView and reset the images back to IMG_00001. This required me to get rid of my thousands of photos on the iPhone, but oh well.
    So starting over seemed to be the best way to manage this mess.

  • Delete imported photos from iPhone camera roll?

    In iPhoto, after importing photos from my iPhone I would get a prompt to delete the photos that had just been imported from the camera roll. Since the Photo Stream was implemented though, most photos would have already been imported through iCloud before I connected the phone to my Mac. iPhoto would then give an option to remove all photos that had already been imported.
    The new Photos app no longer appears to have this option. I can tick to delete items after import, but I can't automatically remove all items in the camera roll that have already been imported. If I go and manually delete those photos from the camera roll on the phone, it also deletes them from the Photo Stream, and they disappear on my Mac and iPad as well.
    I'm not subscribed to iCloud Photo Library. How can I make sure that all my photos continue to import onto my Mac and stay there, without keeping all the originals on the phone forever?

    Yes... a real surprise (not a pleasant one)
    Only workaround I know of (and have used already in testing and getting setup) is to use the Image Capture app in your main Applications folder (a standard OS X utility).
    After you've imported your pictures manually from your iPhone to Photos, you can run this app and then delete what you will.
    I imagine the reason for this is that PhotoStream should be taking care of this. You don't need to have the iCloud Library turned on for this to work, and photos should import automatically.
    However, there are three issues with this:
    Buggy: I found (at least prior to iOS 8.3) that not all of my photos on my iPhone went to the Photo Stream... never did find out why some didn't make it.
    Buggy again: Many people are having issues with the latest releases getting Photo Stream to sync from an iPhone
    You don't want your photos in Apple's domain.
    In which case, using another app to mass delete your photos on your iPhone is (for now), your only choice.

  • How to delete photostream photos from iphone?

    how to delete photostream photos from iphone4?

    Just look at the many other threads on this subject.  See the 'More Like This' box on the right hand side?
    Basically, you can only delete all or none.  To delete all, reset your Photostream on iCloud.com and switch off PS on your device.
    You can temporarily remove the photos by switching off PS on your device, but when you switch it back on, the photos will return unless you reset as previously mentioned.

  • Can you help me delete imported photos from iPhone (4s) running ios 7?

    I made (what appears to be) the mistake of importing photos from my PC to my new iPhone 4s using itunes.  They now seem to be permanent occupants.  I can select them (in the "Moments" view in the Photos app)  but the trash can on lower right is always grayed out.  It appears that in ios 6 they could be deleted in the Settings/General/Usage (I also synced over some music which is deletable here).  Can anyone help me? 

    Thank you razmee, I will give that a shot and get back to you.  I was just looking at that grayed out trashcan icon an thinking there was probably a way to light it up. 

  • I've transferred. Some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app ''simple transfer'' but I can't find the option to delete those photos from iPhone, if any body knows let me know please??

    I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.

    I have a suggestion, noted below,  but I'd like a little more information please.  Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone?  If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
    I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad.  I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad.  The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame.  To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want.  After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way.  I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
    A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync.  It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper.  It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do.  After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them.  There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
    I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone.  I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
    Good luck.

  • Image Capture to import photos from a Sony Ericsson phone

    So I have a Sony Ericsson T715, which has triangulation geo-tagging for photos, I can see their location through the phone no problem.
    However, when I import them via the Bluetooth File Browser to my Mac and import them into iPhoto '09, their location does not show up
    Why is this? How should I import them so that this information stays? (Was a reason why I bought this phone.)
    I tried looking at the phone/importing through Image Capture, but it doesn't seem to work... keeps randomly opening iPhoto and showing nothing. In Image Capture it shows the photos, but I can't import them - just says it's importing, but does nothing in the end. How do I do it right?
    (I do have the iSync plugin for my phone from SE.)

    Anyone?

  • How to delete double photos from iPhone 5

    why i phone 5 double the photos in the photo app
    why is no trash button or bin
    how i delete the doubles
    thanks

    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct on the iPhone. These photos are removed the same way they were transferred to the iPhone originally - via the iTunes sync process.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. Photos in the albums transferred below are not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space. Photos in the albums below Photo Library include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This was you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library.

  • How to delete synced photos from iphone 5

  • How to deletes the photos from iphone 4?

    I am so thrilled to report that, YES, in fact you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!

  • Can't delete old photos from iPhone - sync doesn't finish

    I don't sync music (iTunes Match instead). I got the iPhone 6 largely to show photos, synced with Aperture. However, there are two kinds of problems: sync no longer finishes, so nothing new is synced to the phone; and I can't delete thousands of photos on my phone from earlier syncs.
    I have tried many things that have sometimes worked for other people, including unchecking the Sync Photos box, checking it and syncing with an empty folder or an empty folder with one image, syncing the phone to iPhoto instead of Aperture, syncing with a different computer, resetting the iPhone, and more.
    I also Restored the iPhone from a backup, which at first that worked - no old photos on the iPhone. But once I checked the box to sync with Aperture, all the old events and albums reappeared even though they don't match my current Aperture set-up.
    When I try to sync, I get messages saying "Waiting for Changes to be Applied" and then eventually "could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish" though sometimes  I've had to just interrupt it.
    The bar on the bottom of the iTunes Summary page jumps around from session to session, showing either the number of images I want to sync or a much larger number that probably matches what's actually on the iPhone. But right now the bar in iTunes shows 17.34 GB of photos, with 26 GB Free; on my iPhone, Storage says I have 4.2 GB Photos & Camera; with 38 GB available.
    The Other bar in the Summary line has at times been 5 or 6 GB; right now it's showing 256 MB.
    Suggestions?

    Mine appear to be on-and-off.  Same with my wife.  Changing PC (or Mac, if you will) or browser doesn't make a difference.
    My case is still open - senior advisor verified that his wasn't working either - but no response.
    I guess they're too busy.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone to mac without iPhoto / image capture and preview doesn't see device

    Hello. I'd like to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I read (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083) that iPhoto is the standard application for that; I'd like to do without. I read that image capture (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8954/copy-photos-off-iphone-without-iph oto) or even Preview (http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/10/transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer/)  could help. Neither of them see my iPhone although cable connected and iTunes does. So my question is two: If Preview and Image Capture are ineed supposed to, why don't they? And is there any other way?
    Thanks

    I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
    Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
    Have a good luck!
