TS3274 How do I remove hundred of photos and videos from my new iPad mini, that were downloaded via my iMac from an earlier iPad2 backup?

When restoring my old iPad2 (32G) via itunes on my iMac, thousands of pictures/videos from the last 2 years were downloaded along with apps and mail. The new mini is the 16G version and I am eating up memory with all these photos and videos. Selecting the photos in the iPad mini wont let me put them into trash.
How can I get rid of all these other albums and revert to just storing photos in my camera roll?

You have to connect the iPad to the Mac and deselect the photos in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync in order to remove the photos.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Select your iPad from Devices in the upper right or in the left sidebar of iTunes, if the sidebar is enabled.
Click on the Photos tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Uncheck all of the albums and videos that you want to remove under the Sync Photos from heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you want to remove all photos, uncheck the "Sync Photos From" heading and then click on Apply. If you can't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.

    CAn you please tell me how I can get all the photos and video from my iPad and iPhone that aren't in photo stream so I can get them from my iCloud onto my PC please.

    If you don't physically have the phone then there is no way for you to get the photos or videos.
    Have you been backing up your phone?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  if so, you can restore that backup to your new phone and get all your contents back.

  • How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

    How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
    Thanks
    Tony

    Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup.  Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
    Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later.  It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account.  If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up.  Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
    If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings.  You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad.  Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again).  They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

  • HT1535 how do i delete photos from ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop

    How do I delete photos from an ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop.Apple told me to reset my daughters ipad mini to factory settings because of a fault but when it was reconnected all the photos on laptop were transferred and we cannot get rid of them Pse help

    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 - so you will need to re-connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 and you don't have the sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side use the Photos tab to de-select the folders that you don't want and then sync (if you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder).

  • How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

    I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

    You don't move them to iTunes or an iTunes account.
    You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • How to download photos and video from cloud to computer?

    How do I download my photos and videos from Verizon Cloud to my computer, more specifically, my external hard drive? I'm out of cloud storage.

    I just did this after struggling with it for a while. When you are viewing your pictures on cloud go to all files. I suggest doing one folder at a time because it takes a while. Check the box on the folder then click on download. After that a pop up will appear click open. Highlight your downloads when it's finished and save in a folder on your pc. Hope this helps!

  • How to transfer photos and video from MacBook to ipad

    How do I transfer photos and video from laptop/MacBook Pro to my iPad. Also how do I download videos from internet to my iPad.

    You can sync photos and videos to your iPad via your computer's iTunes.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If the videos are films that you want to go into the Videos app then you first need to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then use the Films/Movies tab to select and sync them
    Syncing media : iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    What format are the videos in that you want to download, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports that format ?

  • Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

    Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto.  Thx

    Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
    As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

    When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
    every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
    in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:

    Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.
