Ios 7.0.3 will not delete photos

I'm unable to delete photos on my iphone5 with ios7.0.3 the latest release of this poorly designed interface.
The trash can stays grayed out regardless of what i do

It looks as though I MAY have found a solution after playing with this since last night ... Let me know if it works for you!
I went through and deleted a few random songs through iTunes on the "On This iPhone" tab ... they still showed on my iPhone but not in the Music part on iTunes. I then clicked sync at the bottom next to the memory bar on iTunes and it seemed to have removed the songs from my iPhone.
However, my iPhone is saying I have 1 more song than my iTunes is saying which I still don't understand but if I can still manually manage my music I guess it's a small price to pay for the minor confusion.
Really getting tired of becoming a detective just to work my phone appropriately. Apple should really stop making all these changes and stick to what the customers know and like. Frustrated and annoyed customers won't raise their sales...

  • My iPhone 5 will not delete photos

    My fiance's iPhone 5 has an album that is taking up a lot of space on the phone and the phone will not give me the option to delete any of the pictures on it.  I can select each photo in the album, but the trash can icon does not show. The only 2 options I get is to Send or to Add To. All the photos on our PC with Windows 7 installed, so we are okay with deleting them from the phone. Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    When I connect the phone to iTunes I have the Photos "tab" blank.  There is nothing there to select.  Under options on the Summary tab, there is no Photos or Pictures option.  That would have been my first option, but sadly I cannot figure this out.

    I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
    I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
    Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
    Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
    Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

  • For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

    For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? 
    Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

    That means there's no videos left on the iPad,  and the downloads aren't really there.
    Sounds like a job for Apple Support.   They'll have to remove the downloads from the queue to clear the iPad.

  • ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

    iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
    The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'....  I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces....   I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
    Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
    If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
    I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    The photos won't get lost.
    You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
    Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
    Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.

  • How come I can not delete photos in iPhoto?

    Why can I not delete photos in the iPad or iPhone.  A few photos allow it but most don't.  Also, how to copy a photo to photo stream

    you can't delete photos that were synced to an IOS devic- apple imposed limitation, you can not delete photos from photostream - thanks again apple, maybe by IOS 6 we will be able to manage our own photos & videos!
    the work around i found if you want to transfer a photo or two at a time (emailing to yourself) is to batch upload photos using an app called "droptoroll" works great and is free, but no video support. puts the photos into the camera roll folder so you may delete them as you want! sorry no help for photostream management - hear in the future apple will allow deletion of individual photos from the stream. Again another oversite by apple photostream does not support videos, mobile me did though

  • My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3.  this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

    My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3.  this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3.   as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out.  i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose.  The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. 
    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!

  • I photo will not email photos even when my email address is correct and I am on line. Is there a setting a I have missed? It used to work :-)

    i photo will not email photos even when the email address is correct and I am online. I get a message that my server is maybe down but it is not. Anything to do with a setting I have missed? Thank you

    In iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete and re-enter the information for that account
    Or better yet IMHO set Apple Mail as the e-mail client

  • Can not delete photos

    Can not delete photos from phone

    Photos on camera roll are not stored in iTunes, they are imported to the local hard drive, folder depends on if you have MAC or PC.
    If you enable delete on transfer the photos will erase once they are copied to the computer.

  • ITunes will not sync photos

    iTunes will not sync photos no matter what I try:
    * deleting photo cache folder
    * removing apps to free more space on iPod (120MB free)
    I've tried many of the suggested remedies on this list, all to no avail.
    I've noticed that during sync, when it reaches the "Syncing Photos" step, the progress bar stops spinning … hmmm?
    When finished, I launch the Photos App on the iPod … it indicates that it is updating the library, but when it is done … voila … NO PHOTOS!
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Me Too.
    I have just updated the ipod touch software to 4.1. The update seems to have helped improve the very sluggish performance introduced with 4.0 but now photos just won't sync.
    These are the same photos that are on the ipod Touch from software 4.0. The other sync items seems to have worked.
    The sync gets stuck with either "Finishing sync" and barber-pole scroll or Syncing photos 4 of 4.
    Unchecking the "Sync photos" Allows the sync to complete.
    The "Remove photos/Keep photos" option appears when changing the "Sync photos" option. Keeping the photos leaves the previously installed images on the IPT. Using a PowerMac G5.

  • My iPod will not delete apps when I hold down the app. Why?

    My iPod will not delete apps when I hold down the app. Why?

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes. If you then sync with your iPod the app will also be deleted from your iPod.
