Remove photos from Ipad

I have thousands of photos on my ipad (most not even taken with the ipad) and I cannot remove them. I am not sure how they got there. I think most of them are on my desktop and icloud. But not sure how to verify because I do not want to lose any. Photos are taking up too much space on the ipad and preventing me from loading music and movies.

I had photos on my PC that I synced to my new iPad. After a month I decided I wanted less photos on the iPad. I connected the iPad to the PC and went into iTunes. Under my d evice, i went to the Photos tab. I unchecked the Sync Photos checkbox. It showed that the photos were removed from the iPad. perfect...but then iTunes said "Syncing Photos to Kim's iPad". It says it is copying photos (960 of them!)
What is it copying where?? help-please

Trouble removing photos from iPad

I'm having trouble removing photos from my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1. In iTunes I've told it not to sync ANY photos. When I first changed this it asked me if I wanted to remove the photos currently there, I said yes and they disappeared. But when it finished syncing they had reappeared despite the fact that it now claims I don't have it set to sync any photos. I don't have photostream enabled. I've tried syncing a couple of times, but no luck. Any ideas? (I searched the forums but everything I found was people who didn't understand how to use iTunes to manage iPad content...that's not my problem..) (also it is like 3 gigs of pics so I don't really want to delete them all by hand since there isn't a way to batch delete...)

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then select and sync an empty folder to the iPad and see if that removes them - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Removing photos from iPad without deleting them from computer?

I just bought an Apple Mac air laptop. I have uploaded all my photos from my iPad and, iPod touch. I need space on my iPad. Can I delete pictures from my iPad without deleting from the Apple Mac air laptop? Do I need to change settings on the iPad device:
1. iCloud - already increased
2. Photo stream
I don't know how else to make room for more apps or music unless I remove photos. Please help!

What do you mean that you uploaded them? If you think that they are being stored in iCloud, then you cannot rely on that. Camera roll photos are backed up in iCloud but can only be restored if you restore the entire backup. You cannot selectively restore photos or files from iCloud. You restore everything or nothing at all.
If you remove the photos and then backup again with iCloud you also stand the chance of overwriting that backup that has the photos in it with a backup that includes none of the photos at all. Then you would have no photos to restore anyway.
If you imported the photos to the Mac using this method, you can safely delete the photos from the iPad without worrying about them being deleted from the Mac.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your ...
After you import the photos you can delete them from the iPad, If you import using iPhoto, you will be asked if you want to delete them from the device after the photos are transfer to the Mac.

Computer crashed, can't remove photos from iPad

Hello all.
I got an iPad 3 this past summer, and synced some photos to it through iTunes on my Mac. Unfortunately, a few months later that Mac crashed and I had to get the entire harddrive replaced. (On the good side, I didn't lose anything because I'm a master of backing up my files.)
Anyway, the problem I have now is that I no longer want many of those synced photos on my iPad, but I cannot delete them the way that I know from research that we're supposed to...by connecting it to the computer that the images were synced from...because that computer technically no longer exists (the outsides to, the insides don't.)
So how am I now supposed to delete these images? I've connected the iPad to my new-harddrive computer and my laptop, but of course the synced images on the iPad don't show up in iPhoto on either computer. I don't sync my iPad to any computer anymore. I'm strickly iCloud, which I love.
I've spent a few weeks doing internet searches to help myself, but keep coming up against the same answer, which doesn't apply in my situation since the computer no longer exists. Help? Thanks.

There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

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.

How to remove thousands of photos from ipad

Hi all,
When I was at vacation I imported about 7560 photos from my digital camera into the new iPad.
At home I imported all the photos from the ipad to Aperure and clicked "delete all the photos from the iPad".
Aperture really removed some photos (about 2 GBs from 45 GBs) and now shows me an "empty" iPad.
But the most of photos still are on the iPad. Aperture doesn't see any photos more, even after restarting.
Okay, then I tried iPhoto. iPhoto sees photos, but doesn't want to remove photos.
Then I tried my windows PC - it could remove a couple of photos but got an error after deleting multiple photos at once.
Then I tried Image Capture on my Mac - it removes about ten photos and then loses the ipad. Loses means it doesn't see the iPad under devices, even after restarting the app. After rejecting and reconnecting the iPad I can remove other 8 or 10 photos with Image Capture and it loses the iPad again.
Now, after about 2 hours I still have 6271 photos on the iPad.
Can some one help me to delete all the photos at once from my new iPad?
iPad 3rd gen WiFi + 4G, 64 GB, iOS 5.1.1
Macbook Pro 13" with OS X 10.7.4
Last versions of iPhoto and Aperture.

How do I remove a photo from iPad camera roll taken by the camera?

How do I remove a photo from iPad air camera roll taken by the camera?

I took 2-3 hundred pics on my trip with my iPad mini and have downloaded them to iPhoto. How can I get rid of them on my iPad now...do I have to do it one picture at a time? When I first downloaded them iTunes asked if I wanted to delete them from my iPad and I foolishly said no. Am I now forced to do it them one at a time or is there a setting I am missing that will do it? They are using all of my memory!!

Does deleting iCloud account remove photos from phone and iPad?

I know this has been answered, but I am still confused.
Will deleting my iCloud account remove photos from my phone?
I've read just "iCloud"- but where is this?
Long story short, I got married the month before I got my iPad, being a newlywed I wasn't thinking I would find my husband impregnating another woman and moving in with her behind my back so I figured creating an iCloud name with his last name would be good to go. Obviously not. Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them. The games are whatever, I plan on starting those over because I'm sure that I can't keep my progress. Do I have to re-download them?
Also is there a way to uninstall an update? The 7.1 removing of full contact pictures when recieving calls was a bummer

> Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them.
Transfer them to your computer to keep them safe. If you lose or break your iPad you'll lose them without a backup.

How to remove photos from the photo library

How can I remove photos from the photo library?
I searched and tried the below method.
I connected to the PC and open iTunes. I clicked "photos" on the top. Then clicked the box "Sync Photos with" and choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
Then I clicked "desktop" option and chose an empty file and click "apply", "sync".
However, it doesn't work. Nothing has been removed.
I saw there is another method - deselecting the checkbox of the photo files. However, in my iTunes, there is no files has been selected.
How can I delete photos from the photo library? Thank you.

How did the photos get onto your device (and is it an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch ?) ? Only photos that were synced from a computer can be deleted via iTunes, photos that were taken with it or saved from emails/websites on the iPad (or if it's an iPad copied to it via the camera connection kit) can be deleted directly in the Photos app, or you might be able to delete the via the import process : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.
