Remove pictures that were synched from my computer

I have pictures on iPhone 6 that were uploaded when I plugged the iPhone into the computer because the auto sync was the default setting.   How do I remove them?  Selecting the pictures and the trash can is greyed out.  I can copy and then delete the copy but can't delete them from the phone.

You need to do another sync. Do not use Auto Sync. Before you click on Sync or Apply deselect all the albums of photos you no longer want on your device. Then, when you click on Apply, the deselected albums will be deleted from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer. If the albums are no longer on your computer clicking on sync will remove them from your iPhone.

    There is NO other way to get photos off your phone, that were synced to your phone, other than through the iTunes sync process. Just make sure there are no checks, in any boxes, for any photos, that you do not want on your phone.

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

    How do I remove photos that were downloaded from my laptop to my phone?

    You sync with the computer again using iTunes but using the instructions quoted below from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201313
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • How do I acess my pictures that were synced to my computer?

    Is it possible to find my pictures that were synced from my phone to my computer? My iphone died in water and I desperately want to recover these pics. My 9 month old puppies were poisened by someone and they both died yesterday. Every pic we have (probably 100) of them but two were on my phone. I've searched throguh every file possible and can't find them.

    Your pictures were not synced from your phone to your computer.  This is not a feature of iTunes.
    The device is designed for the user to copy the pictures off of the device to the computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  If you have chosen to not do this, the pictures are likely gone.  The only hope of recovering them would be restoring the most recent backup of the device to the device or a replacement iPhone.

  • If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

    If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie  take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

    Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
    More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
    Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

  • HT4623 how to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer

    How to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer?

    Resync the iPad with the computer, but before doing so, click on the device once it is hooked up to iTunes. You will see the Device Profile to the right with several tabs - Photos being one of them. Select the Photos tab, and either uncheck the Sync Photos box at the top (if you don't want any of the photos to be on your device), or uncheck the selected photos you no longer want to sync.

    Hi QuisB123,
    If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L 

  • How do I delete photos on iPad that were copied from a computer?

    How do I delete photos on iPad that were copied from another computer or SD card?

    If they were synced from a computer then you can't delete them directly in the Photos app on your iPad, you will have to connect your iPad to your computer and use the iPad's Photos tab in your computer's iTunes to change your photo sync selection to exclude them
    If the photos were copied onto the iPad from an SD card via the camera connection kit then you should be able to delete them in the Photos app e.g. via the Select button top right if viewing the photos in thumbnail view in Photos.

  • How can I remove pictures from my ipod touch that were downloaded from my computer?

    Hi... How can I remove pictures from my IPod  (4th generation) that were downloaded from my

    If the pictures were synced from a computer to the iOS device then they are removed the same way.  Connect the device to the computer.  Tell iTunes what to sync and sync.

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • Hi I originally had my itunes on an old computer, but now I put it on a new computer. My iphone 4s still has pictures on it that were synched from the old computer, but are not on my new computer. My iphone will not let me delete them.

    Hi my iphone 4s still has pictures on it from my old computer. I recently put my itunes on a new computer and the old photos albums can not be deleted off my iphone. It is taking up too much room and I want them off. How do i get rid of them if they are not on my new computer?

    Yes.  You can import those current pics on your phone to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    then you can sync it back to your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    If you don't want to do this, then you will have to live with those sync pics on yoru phone.

  • HT4236 There HAS to be a way to get photos that were synced from the computer on to the iPad OFF of the iPad in a different way than having to email each individual photo back to oneself. And you can't delete them either, using up vital storage

    My Ipad2 has photos synced from my main computer on it, taking up vital storage.  I cannot remove them at all, and the folks at the Genius Bar can't help either.  Apparently there is no way to remove them unless they were originally taken by the Ipad2 camera.  And the only way you can get copies of those photos back on to the computer or another device is to individually email EACH photograph.
    There has to be a way to remove these pics to free up the storage.
    I almost was unable to load the new operating system because of the amount of photos on the iPad,which ended up on the iPad as a mistake in the first place during an early syncing when it was first purchased.
    This is a HUGE glitch in the system.  If you know otherwise, please advise!

  • How to combine the contacts from my iPhone that were synced from a computer with the ones on iCloud

    I had my contacts earlier in my old Mac laptop. I synced them to my phone. Later on, I formated that machine and sold it. Now, my contacts are labeled (on my computer) while the new ones are being stored at the iCloud. How can I marge the contacts to the iCloud so I can see them all from my other IOS devices.

    Get rid of them the same way you got them on there in the first place--by synching.  Connect your iPhone to iTunes and deselect the photos folder you don't want synched.
    You really should read the User Guide.
