Impossible to delete images from iPad

Dear all,
After importing my photo into iPhoto and then sync to iPad with iTunes,
I would like to choose the best photos and to delete some other photos using the iPad.
Then, I would like to apply these changes to iPhoto library.
But this is impossible. Why make a light and good product like the iPad but with a sync
procedure that doesn't do anything ?
Is the iPad only a digital frame?
I'm thinking if I need to sell the iPad and go to use some netbook..
Bye
Alberto

That is right. You can only delete from the iPad photos that you directly imported into the iPad (e.g., via mail, CCK). I you want to make a suggestion to Apple go here:

Deleting images from iPad after they were imported w/Camera Connector Kit

so I loaded images on my iPad using the camera kit and subsequently copied those over to my Mac using Aperture. How do I now remove the images from the iPad itself? I see no way to delete the Last Import or All Imported albums. It's not practical to use the delete option in the Photo App as I would have to manually delete hundreds of pictures. Using Image Capture on the Mac does not seem to be a better option.
Thanks in advance.

I posted this on another thread, I hope it is of some help
Firstly, I am assuming you have a copy of these images stored safely elsewhere ?
What I am going to describe is not the most elegant way of deleting your images, it is a variation of deleting one at a time but much swifter.
Open the photo app on the iPad, select the left hand photo button which should then display all the thumbnails of the images you have on your iPad, click the top right hand button with the arrow, on the left three buttons appear, one of which is delete. If you put your finger on the first image you want to delete the blue & white arrow is seen, without taking your finger from the screen run your finger over the other thumbnails and in succession the tick will be seen against the images, the delete button will show the number of images you have selected, when you are satisfied click the delete button.
As I said not elegant !

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?

Deleting images on ipad

I am not sure I understand how ipad treats images based on where they have come from i.e. taken by ipad or copied from a PC/MBP, downloaded from the net directly onto the ipad. There are a few 100 images on my ipad now and I am trying to organize them into albums. I tried to follow the steps/guidelines provided in the ipad manual, but not one step written there matches with what I see on the ipad.
1. Some albums are deletable, some are not: When I select the 'Albums' tab and then click 'Edit', some albums show an 'x' in a black circle at their top left corner, some do not. Is the 'x' to be clicked to delete an album? If yes, how do I delete the other albums which do not have an 'x' on them. If not, what is the process to delete an album. (Note: As per ipad manual, to delete an album, Tap edit and then Tap a '-' in a red circle, however I do not see the red circle on clicking edit)
2. Same question as above, but now at an image level. Some images are deletable, some are not: From the 'Photos' view (or even while viewing photos from inside an album), some images have the trash can at the top right, whereas some do not. How do I delete images that do not have the trash can.
Beyond the above items, I have a larger question on the usage of the term 'Syncing'. How do I transfer/copy images from my MBP to the ipad (i mean transfer, and not sync). And after transfering them, I usually edit/reorganize images in the ipad. Next time when I connect my MBP to the ipad, I want to be able to choose what I transfer from the MBP to the ipad (or vice versa). I dont want iTunes to automatically sync the two devices to their earleir state, and hence undo all the changes I made in the images in my ipad. Is this possible? How do I do it.

Another way to import. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do i delete images from camera after importing

how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

Deleting Images from Photostream

How do you delete images from Photostream?? Can you??
Thanks
Sky

Seems from what I've read even the reset option in icloud.com doens't actually delete anything. another forum mentioned that what it would do is this:
Let's say you have an iPad with photostream off. and with your iPhone photostream on, you take a picture, it uploads to the cloud. Then if you do a reset to the cloud, then turn on your iPad, that photo you took on your phone won't download to the iPad. So it's not like the photo really is ever deleted on the cloud (until 30 days). It's more like it's resetting the old versus the new with devices that enable the cloud.
Another tip I saw was if you turn off wifi, then your photos won't auto upload to the photostream so gives you a chance to review before they go up so to speak. I think someone put it best that it's not intended to store your photos forever. It's intended to allow multiple devices to get to one photo and save it off.
my 2 cents!

How to delete images from folder which are not in the database

I am created windows form
i wont to delete images from the folder where i have stored images but i only want to delete those images which are not in the data base.
i don't know how it is possible . i have written some code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "select * from tbl_pro";
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
int count = Convert.ToInt32( dt.Rows.Count);

I have to change anything .Will It work alright?
pls help me

Hi Fresherss,
Your del is Local Variable, it can't be accessed out of the if statement. you need to declare it as global variable like below. And if you want to collect the string, you could use the List to collect, not a string. the string will be split to chars
one by one.
List<string> del=new List<string>();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
del.Add(arrays[j].ToString());
else
foreach (var value in del)
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\" + value;
File.Delete(filePath);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

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?

Is there another way to delete photos from ipad 2, other than sync. i want to delete one or two photos every now and then.

when sync, you lose all photos.. and have to start over. i am using picasa to get my photos.. i noticed when you take a pic from the ipad 2, you can delete
any photo you want.. i would think that it should be the same no matter how you put photos on the ipad... has any one found a solution to this..
I will keep try different ways..

You only lose photos when you sync, if you don't have the photos you want to keep on your iPad checked in Photos in iTunes. And no, the only pictures you can delete directly from iPad are those you took with iPad. All other pictures are managed through iTunes.

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.

HT5517 How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad

How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad on my Apple TV airplay

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

IPhoto preferences - delete images from camera after upload???

Is there a preference setting in iPhoto 6 to delete images from my camera's card after upload? Can't find it...

Hi, buzzworms. Yes, it's there — but don't use it.
Too many users of iPhoto have selected that option and then had an import go awry for some reason, only to discover afterward that even though the pictures weren't successfully imported, the card was erased and the pictures were gone.
Much better to leave that option deselected, so the contents of your card aren't changed by your Mac whether or not they've been imported successfully. It's free insurance against the loss of your pictures. Erasing the card in your camera only takes a moment after you've confirmed that the pictures are safely stored in iPhoto's library.
