Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

  • Is there any way I can recover deleted pictures from Camera Roll and iCloud? Please please help me. All of my precious pictures are gone that I can never EVER get back. I dont have any iCloud or Camera Roll backup; and my PC can't download more software.

    Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.

    Please please help me, if you know how.

    I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?

    You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
    Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
    Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
    I do this often.
    But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM.

  • IS there any way I can view Adobe Flash sites on my iphone?

    Is there any way I can view Adobe Flash enabled sites using my iPhone?

    Search the App Store. There are some browsers that process Flash at their servers, then sent it to the iPhone. They are generally slow and unreliable, though.

  • I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the original sim card in america as i live in ireland is there any way i can unlock ios 5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 ?

    I have   updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the orginal sim card in america but as i live in ireland an american simcard wont work here is there any way i can unlock ios  5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 so i can use my iphone ?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

    If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies.  Apple does not offer replacement parts.
    Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results.  There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.

  • Is there any way I can view internet pages that can be viewed only with explorer browser?

    Hello, there is one site that I visit extremely often for work, but it works only with explorer browser. Is there any way I can open it using y iPad?

    If its only for explorer browsers, the company who owns that website doesn't know how to make a website. most of the sites out there now are using HTML5 which is cross-compatible on all browsers.
    The reason it needs internet explorer is because it will probably need to use some sort of active x plugin.
    I disagree that "the company who owns that website doesn't know how to make a website." You do not know the requirements; technical, contractual, or environmental that led to the design of the web site. There may be a valid reason the site is designed to use IE only. For example, many multimillion dollar government web sites are IE only because of policy, security, or other restrictions.

  • I restored my ipod 4th generation but i lost all of my photos. I used iCloud but i have never synced with itunes. Is there any way I can get my pictures back?

    On the settings I went to iCloud then went to storage and backup and it saus total storage 5.0 gb and avaible storage is 2.7 gb but all of my photos arent there. Then when I click manage storage it says camera roll 2.0 gb is there any way i can get my photos back? please help

    If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
    It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
    What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.

  • Is there any way i can receive a text from one number and reply to another on the same conversation?

    I have a friend who has 2 phone numbers, he sends texts from one and i have to reply to the other one.
    Is there any way i can configure the SMS conversation so: it receives texts from his 1st number and when i reply it goes to the 2nd number?
    Thank you

    I don't think it is possible to do what your friend is asking.
    He would need to call his phone carrier.
