Iphone, delete photos for space.

I'm trying to delete all photos from my iPhone MC921LL/A Version 8.1.2. 
I checked I will manually sync as needed.
I've already uploaded to another  Mac Book Pro 2013 late. 
I checked that I wanted the photos deleted but they were not.  Instead they were sorted.
I'm having trouble even deleting an individual photo now.
Any suggestions.

    I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
    If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

  • How to delete photos for good...

    Apple has to have the worst phone I've ever had the misfortune to use not because of the phone, the phone itself is a pretty solid device but because of apple lacking any sort of ingenuity or technical finesse in their software design other then turning everything into a marketing kiosk
    First time having and iphone and will be the last time
    Down to brass tax, before i start some god awful rant about craptunes
    Essentially i'm trying to add more music to my phone but i don't have enough space, WHY? because apparently the phone has withheld 1100 photos from existence. See when i use the photo browser on my phone we all know how we cant just look at a feed of our photos anymore instead the dullards at apple decided you can only have a 350 cap on most recent shots and its impossible to view any previous shots without delving into the god awful time consuming collections feature. There's about 5 maybe 600 photos on my phone, i'm not a big picture taker but iTunes says there's about 1100 at 1.75gb how can this be?
    I can't even see all the photos on my phone let alone see them if i tried to back my phone up...
    Even looking at my photos in collection i can confirm there isn't even that many there, I've had the phone for half a year for pete sake
    I can't get over how unintelligent a multi-billion dollar company can be, my apologies but bear with me my non-apple associates!
    So what do i do? I know i could clear up more space by delete photos i don't need but i cant even see them, **** i cant even back up photos in a clean jpeg format without plundering a handful of oddly named folders on the windows file explorer and even then i wouldn't have my space back.
    How do i delete or even access this hidden cache of said "Phantom" photos
    and on a side note why the **** is "other" so large about 2gb for me as well as documents and data yet again another mass of files i have zero control over growing in size daily
    Thanks a ****'** lot crapple.
    Any help from the community is greatly appreciated.
    And if you're an apple fanboy please withhold your flaming my opinion is my own and it was largely influenced by the crap software apple offers. 

    When you double click on of the these blank thumbnails to view the photo in a larger size do you?
    First make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
    Click to view full size
    Then see if you can drag the  thumbnails to iPhoto's trash and remove them permanently.

  • How do i import photos from my iPhone to photos for Mac?

  • IPhone 4 - photo storage space not being freed after deletion

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone could help me with this - I'd be incredibly grateful!
    I've got an iPhone 4 (32GB) and I ended up taking so many photos and videos that they were taking up over 16gig in total (I have well over 3,000 including lots of videos).
    Anyhow, they were only on the camera roll, I hadnt synced any photos through folders etc., literally just had my camera roll. Anyhow, I have deleted all of these photos but for some reason they are still being recognised as taking up over 16 gig of space on the storage bar when I connect it to itunes. I've also gone into 'settings' and 'about' and whilst its acknowledging that the photos arent there in numbers, its still saying I have only 9gig left which is ridiculous as I only have like 12 songs on there!
    Any suggestions on what to do - I've tried doing a restore from backup, a soft reset etc. etc. I really don't want to do a factor reset as I will lose all my notes etc which would really irritate me.

    Here's a Solution which works 99%.
    After giving up on studying various sources on this topics and trying to delete it from my iPhone 3GS, I gave a last chance and Vualá!
    A quick tip: simply clean your DCIM folder it via iFunBox. If not familiar with this keyword, read below:
    Step by step Solution:
    download latest iFunBox;
    install it on your PC, run it, connect your iPhone via USB;
    Click on GENERAL STORAGE, then get back to Media folder:
    Open DCIM folder:
    Select ALL folders in DCIM, right-click for sub-menu, choose DELETE:
    Wait until is done, disconnect you iPhone, go to Settings ... Usage, scroll down until you'll find Photos and tap on it.
    At last, you must see a 0 bytes of taken space:
    Enjoy.
    And please FB Share it, Twit it, Pin it...   just spread the word, as seems this issue been discussed all over, but never was easy way to solve it.

  • App to organize, sync, delete photos for offline use

    Looking for advice from the community.
    I would like one App that will import my pics from Camera Roll, organize into albums, allow me to delete individual photos, sync so pics are on my iPad & iPhone.  I want to keep the photo album on my device for offline use but delete the photos from my camera roll so it doesn't get cluttered.
    Example:  I take 20 pictures of Rescue-Sophie and decide to keep 10.  With the native app I can create an album, and delete pictures but that's really it.  The photos stay in Camera Roll with only a "copy" in the album.  I use Picasa so I can embed slide shows of the rescues and do large scale organizing/labeling.
    Now I want to sync my album named "Rescue-Sophie" so it appears on my iPad and iPhone while I am offline.  I often whip out pictures of our available and sometimes past rescues to show potential adopters and cannot rely on being able to retrieve them off the net/cloud.
    I don't mind paying for a "professional" level App if it does what I want.  I don't really care about editing, color, photoshopping, etc... Organization and keepi g my Camera Roll uncluttered are my main goals.
    Can anyone help? 
    FYI - rescues means dogs.  I belong to a non-profit and I head up the rescue committee for Pomeranians in Virginia.

    Non Windows SMB share? Computer account probably not authenticating.

  • IPhone deleting photos on its own, not playing music.

    First, some of my photos randomly wouldn't play on my iPhone. Then, whenever I tried to play a song, there was a little pink square next to it with a circle around it. I restored the phone, tried to sync it, but it said that I had nothing to restore to from iCloud (although right before I restored it, my phone said that I had a backup that I could use from February 25th). I tried to sync the phone to my computer, but iTunes froze on "Waiting to sync," after I updated my iTunes operating system, and now, when I go to my photos, my phone deleting all of them. The number of photos is slowly going down one by one. I am not a happy camper- about to call Apple and complain because this is ridiculous.

    Take the phone into an Apple store and have it evaluated. If it is under warranty it will be replaced for no cost. Out of warranty you can a replacement for $269.00. Had this happen to an iPad and the issue was with the digitizer on the screen.
    You could also force a restart on the phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. Next option is to do a DFU restore. Best bet is an Apple store.

  • IPhone deletes photos after synching!

    After synching my iPhone 4 to my computer, all of my pictures get transferred to my computer as a new folder (such as 10/21/11) in the My Pictures section.  But, all the pictures get deleted off my phone!  What's going on? How do I fix this??

    What photos?  Photo library (pics synced to iphone from your computer) should still be on your computer.
    Camera roll pics ( taken with iphone).  You should be importing them regularly, so they should be on your computer as well..  You can try restoring from backup ( if the pics were on the iphone at the time of the backup).

  • Does iCloud erase iPhone delete photos from the phone

    I hope it does

    The only connection iCloud has with photos is Photo Stream. That's where the last 1000 photos you took with your iPhone are uploaded into the cloud and synced with your Macs running iPhoto. iCloud does not erase anything from an iPhone, or an iPad for that matter.
    Please post back if that doesn't answer your question, or if I misunderstood.

  • TS1702 Once purchased, can I delete apps (for space), but then later re-download later at no charge, because I already paid?

    Once an app is purchased and downloaded, can it be deleted because of a space issue, but then re-downloaded at a later time at no extra charge? In other words, once you purchase an app, can you delete and re-load at any time on your iPad without having to pay again?

    Yes.
    One more thing to consider is that occasionally apps are removed from the App Store for whatever reason. You can connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and "Transfer Purchases" from your iPad to the computer. That way each app will be backed up on the computer should you want to retrieve it.

  • IPhone Delete Photo Library Album

    Since my upgrade to iOS 5, there has been a new album in the photos app called Photo Library. This album is an exact copy of an album called "iPhone" that I created in iPhoto on my Mac. Any photos on my Mac that I want on the iPhone, I simply drag to the "iPhone" album and then sync with iTunes. If I turn sync photos OFF in iTunes, I get the warning that all synced photos will be lost on the iPhone, which I accept. After the sync, both the iPhone album AND the Photo Library album are gone from my iPhone. I then turn sync photos ON and sync. BOTH albums come back. I've copied the iPhone album to a new album, deleted iPhone album, re sync and both the new album AND the Photo Library album are back on the iPhone. If I add a photo to the new album on my iMac, then sync with iTunes, the new photo is added to both the new album AND the Photo Library Album. Should I export all my photos then create a new iPhoto library, import the photos back in?

    "On the iPhone, every time I take a new photo, the new photo is added to the camera roll, not the Photo Library album."
    That is correct.  Camera Roll is where ALL pics taken with iphone are stored.  You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would with any other digital camera.  You can then organize on your computer and sync them to your iphone, where they will be in photo library.
    "The Photo Library album on the iPhone contains 17 photos which are the exact same as the new album (Rich) on my iPhone. During the sync process in iTunes, I check only the album Rich to sync."
    Absokutely correct.
    Again. All SYNCED ( from your computer) photos will be in photo library.  If you were to sync 10 albums with 10 pics each, then there would be 100 photos in Photo Library.

  • Iphone deleting photos

    Need to find out how to delete a single photo at a time from iphone. HELP! Thanks.

    Maybe I have been spoiled by the Zune?
    Never heard anyone say that before.
    What may seem ridiculous or not, it is what it is. You can't delete music from the iPhone either.

  • How to recover iPhone deleted/lost photos?

    I accident delete photo on my iPhone 5,ti it possible to recover deleted Photo from iPhone 5,I never sync my iPhone to iTunes.I often take photo with iPhone,I want to know is it be covered by new pictures,any way to recover iPhone 5 photo directly?

    I am so sorry to know that you deleted your photos. But it is not necessary to worry about this. Once you deleted photos from your iPhone, you should not use your iPhone anymore before you recover the lost pictures. Backup photos and other data to iTunes is the best way to avoid data loss from your iPhone.
    As I know you did not backup them to iTunes. However, you can still recover them, but the process may be a little complicated. And if you have backup the photos before, it is much easier. With this data recovery for iPhone, you can extract the photos from your iTunes backup files selectively. No need to connect you iPhone to computer, therefore, even you iPhone is broken or stolen, you can recover your iPhone deleted photos.

  • Why does iPhoto keep copies of deleted photos?

    I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 10.  When I imported photos from iPhoto (about 15,000 images) into the PSE organizer, it imported a large number of photos that I had deleted from iPhoto, in some cases months ago.  When I searched in the iPhoto library, sure enough, there were saved masters of all the photos I had thought gone forever.
    I understand perfectly well why iPhoto keeps masters of all the photos in the library, so that edits can be reverted etc.  That's not my question.  I want to know why it keeps masters of photos I deleted?  I deleted those pictures for a reason, and I wasn't happy when Photoshop imported all the old blurry shots, headless subjects and duplicates that I thought were long gone.
    Is there any safe way to make iPhoto delete photos for real, as in no longer stored anywhere on the hard drive?  Would rebuilding the library do that?
    Yes, I emptied the iPhoto trash bin.
    No, I've never altered anything in the iPhoto library using Finder, and am very reluctant to allow any third-party software to do so.  Heard too many horror stories.
    I'm currently using iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1, if it matters, but some of these deleted photos have been carried along through at least one major iPhoto update.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    iPhoto 11 requires that you empty the iPhoto trash and the System Trash as well.
    Other than that, this would be a symptom of a damaged database. Assuming this to be the case:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
