Iphoto remove photos from iphone not working

For the past couple months iphoto will not delete the photos from my iphone. It successfully imports them, prompts to delete, appears to delete but doesn't actually remove them. They are still on my iphone. iphoto recognizes that they have already been imported and asks to delete them again the next time I plug in my phone, I accept, looks like something is happening but they are still there. I've tried image capture as well and there is no way to delete off the phone in image capture. Help!?

Can it be, that you have enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.3?  Then you can import photos from the phone, but deleting from Image Capture or iPhoto will not work, if the photos are in iCloud Photo Library.

Delete the photos directly on the iPhone or using the icloud webpage -
Use the "Photos Beta" app on your iCloud page:

    Pictures synchronized to your iPhone or iPad using iTunes can only be deleted by resyncing the iOS device with iTunes and unchecking the photos you don't want.

    You un-sync them by plugging the phone into the computer and changing the options for photo syncing in iTunes.

  • Iphoto corrupting photos from iPhone?

    Some others have mentioned similar problems: anyone find a good solution?
    Running iphoto 08, when uploading photos from iphone 4s about 1 in 4 get corrupted: lines or washed out colors and many videos fail to import.
    It seems hit or miss: does not always happen.
    Is Apple aware of this?
    Getting sort of old.
    What is a better program than iphoto?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

    The same way you put them there.  The sync process.
    Deselect the folder in itunes and sync.
    or
    Remove the photos from the selected folders on your computer and sync.
    or
    Delete the photos from your computer and sync.

  • HT3965 Why are my photos from iPhone NOT coming up on my iPad.  Same account for iCloud??

    I can't sync photos from iPhone onto iPad. I have same iCloud acct for both

    If you are talking about PhotoStream then it only transmits newly taken photos or just saved saved photos. Of course you have to turn PhotoStream On on each of your devices. See Settings > iCloud > Photos > Photostream.
    If you just want to move selected photos between devices you can use an App like Photo Transfer:

  • Removing photos from iPhone, removoing photos from iPhone

    how do I remove photos from IPad and IPhone

    If they are in the Camera Roll then just press "edit" in the top right of the screen and touch each photo to be deleted - then press Delete - bottom right.
    Photos in other albums cannot be deleted.  You have to remove them from the selection in iTunes sync.

  • Need to remove photos from iPhone 4

    I have 4011 photos that i took on my iphone and have sync'd to my imac. How can i remove them from the phone without doing a restore or deleting each one manually? seems like this out to be easy but im not that bright!

    I thank you mightily. Been looking for that trick for a long time.
    BTW, the delete key didn't work. After highlighting the photos I used a button on the bottom bar - a red circle with slash through it. I did get a confirmation to delete. Thanks again. Why doesn't Apple just tell us this in some organized way? Or better yet, just make it easier and more direct - a button in iphoto to delete the whole camera roll on the phone any time you want.

  • HOW do i remove photos from iPhone to make more space

    how do i remove photos and movies from Iphone to make more space

    You can delete photos that you have taken with the phone by highlighting them and tapping delete.
    If these are photos synced from a photo library (like iPhoto Library), those photos cannot be deleted from your photos app. Those must be removed by the photo library or "un"synced from your phone. I don't know why this decision was made by Apple, but that is something you have to do from the computer.

  • Photos from iPhone not showing on iMac

    I have taken several pictures today with my iPhone and after several hours, they are not showing in Photos on my iMac.  Pictures that I have imported to the iMac are showing on the iPhone.  I have set up both devices to use iCloud and both devices appear to be set correctly.
    How long should it take for pictures from iPhone to appear on the iMac?
    Help!!
    Thanks!

    A couple of thoughts here - have you updated both devices to latest OS operating system? Then make sure that you have signed out of iCloud on both devices at the same time.  You might check to see if you have any photos on the iCloud website as well.  If you do, decide if you want to deleter them or not?  I used my iMac as the base file since it had all of my picture history.  When this is done, turn on iCloud Photo on your Mac either using System Preferences or opening Photos and turning in iCloud Photo.  If you have a large number of photos and videos, the sync process the first time is going to take time. I have over 9500 pics and videos in my collection, and it took almost 4 days to get through this.  Also - check to make sure you do not have energy saving settings that disconnect the Mac during this process.  Let it run - it should complete.  You can check progress in Photos and see when this is done.  Then when all photos and videos are sync'd,, then turn on the iPhone and let it run until done.  This will also take time depending on the size of your file.
    If you are not getting connected - make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.
    Here's hoping this might work!

  • Best way to remove photos from iPhone camera roll

    what is the simplest method for removing a LOT of photos from my iPhone 5S camera roll. I am trying not to remove them one at a time.

    So, I am a bit confused.  But, thank you for being succinct.  I appreciate that very much!
    1.  I have imported them to Aperture; so they are on my iMac.
    2. What I do not exactly understand is your next instruction: "your computer should read your iphone as a camera, you can navigate to the folders that contain the picture in your camera roll and select all and delete."
    Could you walk me through that, please?  Just a tiny bit more explaining, and I think I will catch on!
    Many thanks!

    why are my photos from my iphone not on my computer?

    Someone actually responded to me in another thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16418849#16418849
    Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
    Do a sync.
    Then check the box.
    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

  • Delete photo from iPhone, NOT from Mac/iCloud

    Hello,
    I scanned a bunch of images recently, and I noticed they were all automatically going to the photo stream when I imported them.  I believe I turned that off in preferences, but the ones I've already scanned that way are taking up space on my photo stream.  I went to delete those same images from my phone, but it says that will delete them from all devices.
    How can I delete the photos in the photo stream on my iPhone while keeping them on my Macbook air's Photos?
    Thanks!
    Joss

    Icloud Photo Library is not an archive. If you wish to archive all photos before deleting some try another service like Dropbox. This also gives you another, independent, backup which is always a good idea when using a product labelled, "Beta".

  • How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.
