Iphone remove multiple photos

how do you remove large amounts of photos from iPhone?  I see no way of doing this from iPhone itself..
and when I connect iPhone to my MacBook Pro I cannot see it in Finder or anywhere else (********)

it says you can do it by hitting "share" button in camera roll, but I don't see how you can select multiple photos then delete them...
my gosh, will I have to connect the Iphone to a windows machine because I can't do this with mac OS? 
I don't know what this says about mac OS, but it's not something very smart or practical at all...
I simply cannot understand at all the mac os rationale for this..   either the iPhone or my Nikon camera, when I connect them to the mac I cannot see them in either the Finder, in Adobe Bridge, in iPhoto, or any other program..  this is nothing short of idiotic -- and a huge pain in the ***..

Well, as I am sure you found out, if you want to delete multiple photos while on your phone, you go to the camera roll...accessed by opening the camera app, hitting the button on the bottom left that lets you see the photos you have taken and then hitting the 'camera roll' button on the upper left. Now you will see a grid of your photos. The "share" button is the one on the bottom middle that is a box (or rectangle) with an arrow going from left to right. Click on this and then you will see the top of the screen will have the heading, "Select Photos". Just click on the photos you want to delete. It will highlight them and give them a red check in the lower right hand corner of each chosen image. When you are happy with your selection, press the 'delete' button on the bottom right.
For deleting more than 20 - 30 images at once, this method is just SOOO annoying and inefficient to me. The only other ways I have found (within OSX) is to go to iphoto while your phone is hooked up to your computer and if all your photos on your iPhone have been imported, a button in the middle of the window of the iPhoto app will say "Remove Photos from [your phone's name]" You can click on this and it will delete ALL of the photos on your phone. It is all or nothing because there is no option (that I can find...or that there is any documentation to date) while in OSX that allows you to select photos and delete them in large groups or specifically. It is ridiculous.
Otherwise, and there is documentation on other threads, you can hook your iPhone up to a pc and there is a program that (however equally annoying) should automatically pop up (camera and scanner wizard) and you can choose like you should be able to choose in OSX, large groups of photos to delete.
Likely one other way is to access the iphone like a hard drive (also through pc) and just delete the files in the explorer (= pc "finder"). I have no clue why this is so difficult since the main purposes of an iPhone or the main uses of an iPhone are pretty straight forward: (1) use as a phone, (2) use as a camera (3) use as a iPod & (4) use for Facebook (ha)...
In any case, if anyone can enlighten me further and better my info, I would be much obliged because this present methodology is just not intuitive or, more importantly, offering a simple usability feature that should exist.

  • Deleting multiple photos off iphone

    I know that we have the option to delete photos off iPhone after we import into iPhoto... but sometimes I want to keep some on my phone so I don't choose the delete option. Unfortuantely, I am left with having to go through each photo and erase them one by one... has anyone come up with a way to delete multiple photos off the iPhone once you've chosen not to delete them immediately after importing them? Cannot understand why this hasn't/wouldn't have come up... it seems like an obvious need. They managed to simplify the email deleting situation, why not photos?

    Putting photos back on iPhone... If you want some photos back on your iPhone, what I do is email them to myself then open the email on my iPhone, a have select save the images...
    If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera including from your iPhone and for storing all photos on your Mac, you can create an iPhoto album or multiple albums. Place the photos from your iPhoto library in the designated iPhoto album that you want transferred to your iPhone.
    Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select sync photos from iPhoto.
    Choose Selected Albums and then select the iPhoto albums that you want transferred to your iPhone. Select Apply followed by syncing.
    If you want to transfer additional photos to your iPhone, place the photos in an iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. Or create a new iPhoto album for select photos. For any photos that you want removed from your iPhone, remove the photos from the iPhoto album that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
    All photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process will be stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, and the separate iPhoto albums selected to be transferred will also be available below.
    You can view photos available in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos available on all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    The same applies to iTunes Playlists for music.

  • How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

  • How do I remove multiple duplicate photos in a catalog PSE 10

    I have multiple duplicate photos in my Photoshop Element 10 catalog - I have run across the compare a photo tutorials but I have possiblely some 200+ photos that are duplicates.
    Has anyone come across a simpler way to remove duplicate photos?

    edbarry12 wrote:
    If I use Dup Scout or another similar utility, and it removes the duplicates from the hard drive, won't I end up with many links to now deleted files
    Yes, but then using the "Reconnect All Missing Files" function in PSE will allow you to abort the reconnection and choose to delete all the missing files from the catalog.
    As always, first experiment with a very small subset of the images to see if that method will work for you.

  • How do I send multiple photos by email on my iphone 5s?

    I'm able to send photos by iMessage, but not by email.  How do I select multiple photos to send by email?

    ckuan is correct.
    Check to make sure your SMTP server settings are correct for your email provider.
    To get to these settings:
    Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Then tap on the account you need to update the SMTP settings for.
    Scroll down to the OUTGOING SERVER
    Tap on the SMTP
    Now you will see a list of outgoing servers that have been configured on your iPhone.  The one that is currently set to be used with this particular email account is at the top and highlighted: Primary Server. So click on that one.
    Now you will see the settings for that PRIMARY OUTGOING SERVER:
    Make sure you have the correct settings for:
    Host Name
    User Name
    Password
    SSL
    Authentication
    Server Port
    Tap Done
    It will verify these settings.
    If it does NOT verify, then something is wrong and you need to recheck your settings and password.

    I backed up my iphone last 2 day , my friend removed my photo by mistake , the photo are still saved on icloud ? I can restore them back

    You should be importing ALL pics/videos taken with your iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera.  particularly before any restore/update.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
    You can redownload apps if you have failed to transfer them to your computer before restore/update.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I cannot remove syncronized photos from my iphone 5 iOS8.1.3

    I cannot remove syncronized photos from my iphone 5 iOS8.1.3

    The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll.  If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • Hello, My Iphone is full with photos as it has my Photo library on it, I guess from Syncing it with my computer... How do I remove the photo Library and just keep the photos I take on my phone on my phone?  Hope that is clear.... :)

    Same way they got on your phone, through the iTunes sync process. With your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Photos" tab, deselect the albums/folders/photos you do not want on your phone. Hit the "Apply/Sync" button & they will be removed from your phone.

  • How do I remove a photo album i downloaded from my pc to  my iphone?

    How do I remove a photo album I downloaded to my new iphone from my computer? It is not letting me delete anything in the normal way. Is it because it was uploaded fomr my computer?

    You unsync them using your computer, the opposite of how you got them on your phone.
    you can't delete them directly from your phone.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple photos from your iPhone?

    I'm trying to free up some space on my iPhone by deleting photos. It is taking me forever though because I have to select them one by one to delete them and then do the same thing to permanently delete them. Is there a quicker solution?

    Greetings Emmzy088,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like a faster way to delete photos on your iPhone other than selecting each one. One possibility that you may not have considered is importing your Photos to your computer and choosing to delete the items after import. Please reference the attached article for more information. 
    iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
    Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
    Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
    Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
    Tap the Action button.
    Tap each photo to select it.
    Tap the Delete button.Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

    Joe
