IPhone Photos App Photo Library has no Delete button

iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 Photos App Photo Library Album Pictures have no Delete button in the bottom right bottom corner like found in Camera Roll Album Pictures. How do I delete obsolescent photos on the iPhone Photo Library Album without sync deleting it on my computer's iPhoto and other sync devices?
Hurry—only 60.6 MB Available!

The same exact thing happened to me but on IOS7. What i did was take a very long video that took up my entire hardrive. That over writes that photo because the iphone thinks its already deleted and techinically its not.

Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library". Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

HT201317 Is there any way to get a photo back once it has been deleted?

Is there any way to get a photo back once it has been deleted?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That depends on whether you have it backed up somewhere.

Can't delete photos on my iPad2. The delete button shows on screen after checking pictures I want to delete but doesn't do anything when pressed. Any ideas?

Any hints on deleting photos. When selecting photo to delete the delete
Button lights up but does nothing when pressed.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

Can you re install the camera app if it has been deleted?

Can you reinstall the camera app if it has been deleted?

The Camera App cannot be deleted.
Someone have probably restricted the use of the Camera.

Photo.app crashes. Can not delete or sync photos. Stuck!

On my iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1:
Photo.app crashes whenever i try to delete certain photos from my camera roll. It freezes and I have to exit the app with the front botton. I have the crash logs on my computer.
The iPhone appears in iTunes, however photos do not sync.
The iPhone does NOT appear in Image Capture, iPhoto, or other photo importing programs.
Now I am really stuck - ! I have no way to delete the (presumably corrupted) photos from my iPhone!
If I "Erase all content and settings" from the iPhone, it once again appears (empty) in Image Capture. However, if I then restore the iPhone from a backup, the photo roll is restored and it has the same problem. If I do not restore the iPhone, I lose all my apps, contact info, etc.
I am an Apple developer (MacOS, iOS) so I have expert skills tackling problems like this, but now I'm stumped!

I had the same problem and spent 4 hours troubleshooting with Apple Tech Support. We uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, drivers and checked every setting that had anything to do with my iPhone. As usual I was told that I need to restore my phone which is always my last option. I actually read your post and began to panic as it became clear that even after a reset I would get the same photos back when I synched and restored. Last time that I restored to new it took me 3 solid hours to tweak my phone back to the way it was. When I realized that I was basically screwed and was going to lose my photos I began to email them to myself one at a time. When I got to one picture I discovered that I had found the corrupt photo. I was not able to send it as it turned into a question mark when I tried to send to myself. I tried to delete 50 times but it froze my phone each time and wouldnt remove itself from my camera roll. I tried to select photos but each time that photo appeared in the window the app crashed and shut itself down. I had scheduled an appointment with the genious bar and figured I would call tech suoport one last time before I went through that nightmare and while I was on hold I pluged my phone into my computere and tried to delete the phote while plugged into my laptop and out of nowhere an error window popped up notifying me that my photo app experienced an error and would repair itself which within four seconds it did and the corrupt photo dissapeared. I cant tell you how relieived I was and my phone works perfectly well now. I tried to explain the results to the tech that finally answered but he didn't seem to care that much. I hope this works for you next time.

Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
Thanks for chiming in.

Will Aperture support new Photo app's library?

New Photo app (comes with OS X 10.10.3 beta) has changed iPhoto library name and structure, since Aperture uses the same photo library as iPhoto uses, does that mean Aperture will no longer work when OS X 10.10.3 is officially released to public?
Will existing Aperture's filters be compatible with new Photo app's editing function?

You can open the versions with the filename extensions "migratedphotolibrary", e,g, iPhoto Library iPhoto.migratedphotolibrary.
While you are experimenting, make sure the filename extensions will show for all your photo libraries, so you know which version you are dealing with.
If you try to browse the main "Photos.library" in Aperture or iPhoto, those applications will simply open the last library they could open, and if you have deleted this library, Aperture or iPhoto will come up empty.

Non iPhone camera app photos not showing up in iPhoto

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, iPhoto only shows thumbnails of photos taken with the camera app.
Thumbnails taken with a third party app show up as empty hash border boxes and I am not able to import them. Why is this? It's dam annoying. I should be able to get hold of any images on my iPhone regardless of what app I used.
(Note photos are always stored on the iPhone in the Photo Gallery)

It's a bug, I think. Many people have reported it on the iPhoto forum, so you might search for a solution there.
See if Image Capture in your Applications folder lets you download all the photos to your hard drive. Worst-case, copy and paste them into an email to send yourself.

IPad Photo App Photo Album

On the iPhone the Photo app has a Camera Roll album and a Photo Library album. Basically the Photo Library album contains the images from the iPhoto iTunes sync on the Mac and the Camera Roll contains iPhone local images. That is what one might expect.
However, the iPad 2 does not have a Photo Library. It has the Camera Roll album similar to the iPhone and a Photo album. In contrast to the iPhone Photo Library, the iPad 2 Photo album contains the images from the iPhoto iTunes sync on the Mac PLUS the images from the iPad 2 Camera Roll album.
Anyone know why?
Does anyone else see the same thing on their iPad 2?
Anyone know how to get a Photo Library on the iPad 2 that contains only images from the iPhoto iTunes sync on the Mac?
Thanks.
Mike

The Photos album on my iPad 2 IOS 5 contains links to Camera Roll images as well as those photos sync'd with iTunes (i.e., it shows ALL images).
ITunes on my MBA has 3 albums: Last Import, Last 12 months, & Photo Library. These same albums are on my iPhone; however, my iPad 2 IOS 5 does not have the "Photo Library" album.
The "Photo Library" shows just the iTunes images from iPhoto. I see this album on the iPhone 4 IOS 5, but do not have it on the iPad 2 IOS 5. Thus the iPad 2 does not give me an album that contains just the iTunes iPhoto images.
As an aside, the iPhone 4 IOS 5 does not have the "Photos" album only the "Photo Library" - a much more useful arrangement for me.
Could you please post a screenshot of the album list on an iPad 2 IOS 5 that shows tha albums? None of the iPad 2's I have looked at have the "Photo Library" album.
Thanks
Mike

Yosemite Photos App Shared Library

Just downloaded 10.10.3 and am migrating to Photos. On iPhoto I used to have the iPhoto library in the Shared folder, and all logins pointed to that library when they opened iPhoto in their own account.
Then Apple stopped this, and I went through lots and lots of pain until I realised this, with broken permissions, rebuilding libraries, recovered photos and the like.
Now Photos is here, I would like to be able to share one library across all our accounts. This would mean that all our photos were in one place, but our own photo streams would be visible when we logged in to our account, and when we wanted to share photos to Facebook, Twitter, etc, it would do it to our own accounts linked to our login.
Does anyone know if Apple has enabled this again, or whether it is still blocked?

I have not seen any indication, that sharing the Photo Library on a Mac in a shared folder has been brought back.
The Sharing options for Photos are pretty much the same as for iPhoto and based on Shared albums.
See the Photos Help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/
And look at the section "Share your photos and videos".
To share your Photos library on the Mac, use the same cumbersome procedure as before with a sneaker drive: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

My whole iphoto library has been deleted! ***!

all my photos in my iphoto library are gone after updating iphoto

There's a forum for iPhoto issues and I suggest that you bring your query there. But before you do, have a think about what you've written. Is there anything in there that might allow someone to help you? The only possible answer is to restore from your back up if that's all you're offering.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhone sync to iTunes library has free space issue

The iPhone “~’s iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 69.9 MB required).
I have 239 GB available on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5 with iTunes11.1.2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1.3 and the memory nearly full — 57.2 MB Available. This now happens over 50% of the time. These two issue might be related. If the error statement is misleading, that should be fixed.

OK, I deleted a bunch of pictures and it completed.
Instead of "The iPhone “~’s iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 69.9 MB required)," I think I'd have understood it effectively if it were "The iPhone “~’s iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to copy all of the items into the iTunes library (additional 69.9 MB required)." What a difference two words can make.
Who know how to get this across to Apple, Inc?

Can you get an app back that has been deleted

ididnt back up my phone yet and i had a video recorder app on my iphone and my 2 year old erased the app and i have now lost all the videos since she was born is there any way to get the app back or the vidoes that were recorded

If it's not in your iTunes library and you've not synced the phone, I'm afraid you can kiss this stuff goodbye. App data is stored in two places: on your phone, and in the iPhone backup. I was taking a chance that by re-downloading the app directly to your phone, the app data "might" re-appear...really depends on how the app was coded. But, that's not possible, given what you've posted.
