Photo on my iPhone Photo Library that I want to delete.

It's not in iPhoto on my Mac, yet shows up in the iPhone, Photo Library and it will not delete. How can I delete it? This is one of the reasons I dislike iPhoto.
iOS 5 and OS X Lion (latest iOS's)

Thanks for responding Rysz.
When I say Photo Library, I'm referring to the file hierachy inside the default 'Photos' app that ships with iPhone.
Once opened you are presented with the following list of Albums.
Camera Roll
Photo Library
Last Import
Last 12 Months
Inside the Photo Library, if I select the photo I want to delete, my action options are: Share, Copy, Add To. Not delete. There is no way to delete a photo from iPhone once it is inside the Photo Library.
If I tap to open the photo my only other options are in a UIActionSheet:
Email Photo
Message
Assign to Contact
Use as Wallpaper
Tweet
Print
Cancel
I'm pretty familiar with Apple devices and user experience, but this seems a major bug.
If anyone has an idea, that would be great.

I have songs on my ipod that aren't in my library that I want to delete.

I have songs on my ipod that aren't in my library that I want to delete. Pressing the song won't do the job because the delete button won't pop up like it does for the podcasts.

Thank you so much for the info

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

I had an album on my iPad that didn't have a delete option. I was able to finally remove everything by connecting the iPad to iTunes and going to the Photos tab. Select sync photos. It will ask you if you want to replace all photo on iPad with sync photos. Apply the setting and then un-sync photo again. It will then remove all photos on iPad starting with a clean slate.
Be sure to backup all your photos before doing this. Hope that helps.

How do I permanently delete a photo off the iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered?

I want to permanently delete a photo from an iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered? How can I do this?

You can perform an erase all contents and settings direct on the iPhone which is a secure erase of everything except iOS and the included apps and not restore your iPhone from the backup. Start as new with no existing data or settings whatsover that is currently available on the iPhone.
If this photo has been deleted from the Camera Roll, when updating the iPhone's backup that deleted photo will not be included.

Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud. I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone. I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I only see 4 out of a 1000 photos from my Iphone photo stream on my PC

I only see 4 out of a 1000 photos from my Iphone photo stream on my PC.
How can I get all the content of my photo stream to automatically upload to my PC? this is hapening since I got a new computer, I used to have all my photos synced, I cant figure out what Im doing differently and why only the last 4 photos appear.
Thank you if you can help!
Violette

Ok so I figured out that the photo stream won't upload pas content on its own and has a 1000pics limit, so if anyone has a way to mass transfer them that would be helpful.

I have photos on my iPad that I want to delete. This is my problem. I synced them from my ex-husband's Mac. We are no longer together therefore I don't have access to his computer or iTunes account. Is there any other way to delete them?

Not sure is any of these methods will work.

It is connected to my computer, but iTunes won't recognize it... I have restarted my phone and computer, uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it, and punched a wall. idk what to do..

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

HT201269 ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud.

ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud. i would actually like to just plug it in to the usb drive the old fashioned way

I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

In my Picture Library of all of my cover artwork, there is one that I want to delete, but I can't?

In iTunes in my Picture Library (where all of my cd artwork is)---there is one cd cover that I want to delete and I cannot. I know I can go into my pictures and delete that way-----BUT, this blank white square is now in my Picture Library and I cannot get it deleted? It just doesn't make any sense. I have Googled it and it seems there are alot of others who cannot delete it as well once it is in the Picture Library when you pull up Photos. Any help will be greatly appreciated. BTW. there isn't any 'garbage can' found anywhere when I play with deleting the 'photo.'

Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.
