Problem deleting photos using ios7 on ipad 2

I updated my iPad 2 with no problems. I then went to the apple photo app, selected a photo which correctly put a checkmark on it, but the trash can icon stayed greyed out, making it impossible to delete that photo. selecting multiple photos results in the same problem. Please log this as a bug and fix.

Ok, more details.
1. When in the iOS 7 Photo app you tap Photo button in the bottom toolbar.
2. Then you tap Select in the top right Navbar
3. Then find a photo which is NOT in the Photo-stream and NOT in the Camera Roll. I have a bunch of these for some reason after updating to iOS 7. These photos will get a checkmark, but will not turn the trash can blue.
4. You can then select a photo that IS IN Photo-stream. It will also get a checkmark and the counter will display (2), and the trash can will turn Blue.
5. You can then tap the blue trash can. The Photo-stream selected photo gets deleted BUT the photo the selected photo that is NOT in Photo-stream and NOT in camera roll IS Still There!
I think the issue is that these photos that show under Photo but don't appear in the Camera Roll or Photo-Stream are "Orphans". So the real issue is how do I "adopt" them and get them into either the Camera Roll or zphto-strem? Still ths appears to be a bug that needs an Ape fix.

  • Problems deleting photos

    Has anyone had the same problem I have, deleting photos downloaded to my iPad? I mark them and then press the delete icon and nothing happens.....

    No problem for me. Pressing the trash icon brings up the Delete option key. Pressing that then immediately deletes the picture. You can't delete photos in the Photo Library from the iPad. You can only do that from a desktop running iTunes.

  • Can't delete photos using Image Capture

    I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to 5s....all of a sudden I can't delete photos using Image Capture like I used to.  The "delete" menu item is grayed out.  The "delete after import" checkbox in the lower right is available, but I don't need to download all of these photos videos.  I poked around in the iPhone settings but didn't see anything which seems to control this.

    Hey guys, I had the same problem on iOS 8.0.2, I couldn't delete any pictures from my Mac neither in Image Capture nor in iPhoto. I've just figured out how to resolve this. You have to disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) under Settings > Photos & Camera. Since it seems to be an iOS 8 related issue, I'm not sure if I am referring to the same problem as in the original post but I thought I'll let you know anyway.

  • HT204022 I've tried everything to delete photos from my new iPad and nothing works. Help!

    I want to delete all photos on my new iPad...I've tried several times but they won't delete frm photo stream. Can anyone help??

    Herbaltickiing, please help me to understand...I am having the same issue in trying to delete photos off my original ipad.  I just bought a new generation ipad and have already synced my pics from my mac desktop.
    when you say creat a new folder in the PC, are you referring to a computer that is not an apple product?  Can I made a new folder on my iMac desktop to do this?
    thanks for any help.  I want to give my orignal ipad to a friend who has dealt with two types of cancer and had a brain tumor removed

    It's the password for your outgoing mail in your Mail account. You need to set it up in your Preferences.

  • How to delete photos gone to the iPad via  with PC?

    I can delete photos Shot with the iPad but not otheter photos (synchronized). If I tap the synchronized Photo there is no button to delete, only for copy and send.
    My Space has Gröne, what to do?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • I cannot delete photo's from my iPad., i cannot delete photo's from my iPad.

    I cannot delete photo's from my Ipad that are in adobe file.

    Scenario:
    I give my iPhone/iPad to a relative in a different city.
    He or she wants to put his or her own photos on the device, but can't.  All the space is taken up.
    So, he or she must bring the iPhone/iPad back to me to delete the unwanted photos.
    There has to be a work around for this, but I haven't found it yet.

  • How do I delete photo albums from my ipad?

    How do I delete photo albums from my ipad?

    If you created the albums on the iPad you can delete them there.
    If the albums were synced to the iPad via iTunes you must unselect the albums in iTunes and re-sync to remove them.

  • HT204022 how do i delete photo albums from an ipad?

    how do i delete photo albums from an ipad? (Not Photo Stream)

    Hi,
    If you have created album with iPad say in Photos App then simply hit the edit button and an X will appear in the top left corner of the album icon and you simply tap this to delet. It does not delete the photos, just the album.
    Recetly this stopped working for me and I had to do a complete shut down, not just a quick sleep, and when restarted iPad it was working again.
    If you created the album in say iPhoto or Aperture and synched it to iPa via iTunes then you need to delete it in iPhoto/Aperture or remove it from synch list in itunes to keep on Mac but remove from iPad.

  • Problem synching photos from PC to iPad air. Using iTunes it gives me option when I connect iphone to synch from ' my photos' however with the iPad it just gives me option one folder at a time. And once it has synch it if I try to synch another it just

    Hi I'm not very computer literate so pls be gentle! I bought an iPad air two days ago and synch my photos using iTunes just fine.
    Today for some reason I noticed all these white thumbnails on my laptop in the photos section. Stupidly I deleted all 600 of them and all my photis on the iPad immediately vanished. Later I restored the photos from the recycling bin to my photos
    However now I try to re synch them there is no option to synch from ' my pictures' just each little folder ( whereas before I had a drop down box and could select which folders I wanted) however when I synch iphone it does offer the option
    Anyway even if I synch each folder it will kep replacing the last one so I can only ever have one folder of photos on the iPad if u see?
    How can I transfer my photos please?
    And how can I get the option back of the drop down box and tick as many folders as I want?
    Many thanks

    or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
    maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

  • After deleting photos, memory in my iPad is still used. WHY?

    When connecting my iPad mini to iTunes on my MacBook Air it shows that I have 2489 pictures on the iPad and am using 28.4 GB for all those pictures. When I open the Photos app on my iPad it shows that I do not have ANY pictures on the iPad, which would be correct, as I have deleted them all. So why are they still using up all that memory? How can I clear the memory to make it available again? BTW, My iPad Settings>General>About agrees with iTunes. It shows that I have 2452 pix (why not 2489 as above?), and am using 28.4 GB for them. So again, HOW CAN I CLEAR THE UNUSED MEMORY, or get rid of the pix if they are indeed still hiding somewhere on my iPad?
    My iPad mini is running iOS 8.1.1
    Thanks for any help....

    Hi, Tahunga,
    May be you need to do a comprehensive first.
    Firstly, be aware that the phone can sometimes take a while to update free space after deleting large items. I have often wondered whether iOS is making the user experience a bit 'nicer' by reporting the item deleted instantly, while doing the actual deleting in the background. Or perhaps its just the time taken to update databases used to record/report used/free space. In any case, try giving it a few minutes (maybe an hour) and see if its 'settled down'.
    Next up, in the Photos app, check the albums 'tab'. Is the camera roll reporting entirely empty? Are there any other albums?
    Finally, plug the iPad into your computer, and open up an app like Apple's Image Capture or whatever you use on Windows/Mac/Linux to import photos from a camera. Check that there's actually no photos in the 'camera' that is your iPad. After clearing out my pad, I found a bunch of small, unreadable movie files and a few photos left over in this app. I don't know how or why, given the iPhone wasn't showing them, but they were clearly taking up space. You may have somehow ended up with a lot of these.
