When trying to delete photos from my Iphone 5s, I no longer have a trash button, please help.

I have tried "Select" and even then the only function I have is "add to". Is there a new way to delete photos that I just do not know about?

You don't get a trash can icon in the bottom right portion of your phone after pressing Select and then choosing a picture?
If not, try resetting your phone and then attempt to delete a picture.
Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data or current settings.

How do you delete photos from an iphone 5 using ios7 that have been uploaded from a computer? Hitch: I no longer have the old computer.

When I was upgrading from the iphone 4 to the iphone 5, i uploaded all of the pictures from the iphone 4 to my computer and then added them to the iphone 5. I no longer have the laptop that the pictures were uploaded to (crashed). There are several pictures that I now wish to remove from my iphone 5 that had been uploaded from the old laptop but am unable to do so. I googled it many times and everything says go back and sync via itunes yadda yadda. i get that part, but i don't have access to the photos anymore from a laptop, only on my phone. when i try to select the photos and delete them, the trash symbol is greyed out. any suggestions or am I just stuck wtith these photos on the iphone 5?

Syncing with iTunes is completely separate from and not related to importing photos and videos from your iPhone's camera roll with your computer.
Have you imported photos from the Camera Roll previously with your computer?
What are you using for the import with your computer?
When I import with my Mac, I'm provided an option to delete the just imported photos and videos from the iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If I choose no, with the next import I'm alerted about the photos/videos being previously imported by my computer - do I want to re-import and replace what was previously imported, or ignore the previously imported content and only import the new content that has not been imported.

I need to backup all of the music on my iPhone however I no longer have a computer. Please help!

Hey, this is my first post on Apple Support Communities because I'm usually able to solve any iPhone problem by doing extensive googling... However this time it seems that I've hit a roadblock. To get a decent idea of my situation, here's some basic info and a breakdown of what's been going on:
-I have an iPhone 4S
-Approximately 1 month ago I tried downloading a Gmail app and it got stuck on "Waiting" mode.
-When this first happened I tried to exit out of it during wiggle mode but there was no "X", so I just left it alone.
-Recently I've been noticing my battery has been draining terribly since the app got stuck on waiting, so I've made it a point to try just about every possible solution I could find online (hard reset of the phone, signing in and out of the apple store, checking purchases, resetting all settings, etc.)
-None of these proposed solutions worked, so I made an appointment with the Apple Store. I brought it in yesterday hoping they would be able to do a quick fix, only to find out they could not fix it, and that the only way to get rid of the waiting app battery drain issue would be to completely wipe the phone.
-The main problem I'm having here, however, is that I used to have a computer but it died a little while ago... so I've just been using the iPhone without syncing it to a computer (all of the music I got from CD's is still on my iPhone and I don't want to lose it).
-Since I can't back up my phone with a computer, I backed it up to iCloud last night for the first time. This took about 2 hours, and supposedly was successful, however I then remembered iCloud does not backup the music on your device that came from CD's. The Apple Store employee had told me I could use iTunes Match if I needed to backup all of my music and I no longer had a computer... However I looked into it only to find that you DO need a computer for iTunes Match.
So my question is, how can I backup all of my music without a computer? Is there an app that has been known to do this well? I just want to be able to backup all of my songs right on my iPhone, wipe the phone, and then be able to restore all the music back onto the phone somehow.
Any help or insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

There is no trash can at the bottom of my iphone5 when trying to delete photos. so how do you do it. it has two boxes, share and add to

When trying to delete photos from my iphone 5, there is no trash can at the bottom, only two boxes one says share the other add to. So how do you delete photos

he only photos that would have the trash can are those that you take with the iPhone camera. Other photos are handled through the sync process in iTunes.

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

After loading my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhotos it prompts me to delete photos from my iPhone. When I agree to this my photos never delete. my iPhone is out of storage due to I can't delete photos. What am I doing wrong?

After loading my photos from my iphone to my mac iphoto it gives me the option to delete photos on my phone. When I click to delete the photos do not delete from my phone. I am out of storage due to I can not delete photos from my iphone.

That problem is probably with your iPhone and not with iPhoto.
But try to download again to your Mac, this time use "Image Capture" instead of iPhoto.
Launch Image Capture from your applications folder.
Connect your phone to a USB port.
Select all the photos in your camera roll to be deleted.
Then press the "delete" key.
If there are photos on your iPhone that have been synced with iTunes, they can only be deleted by syncing again and deselecting the albums:

If even Image Capture cannot wipe your Camera Roll, you need to trouble shoot your iPhone. Try the three R's, reset, restart, restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

HT204022 I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

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.

IPhone 6plus camera freezes when trying to take photos from within other apps

Hi, 8.1 6Plus, my regular camera turns black screen when trying to take photos from within other apps or sometimes between photos in the regular camera app. I can still take a photo, I just have no idea what I'm seeing or taking a picture of. Then when I press retake (in other apps) the screen comes back on and it works. Its annoying more than anything else. Any ideas? Have done the whole close apps/restart process.
Thanks!

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

How do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone

how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

How do I delete photos from my iPhone that have been downloaded from my pc?

I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)

"I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc"
The same way you put them there. The sync process. open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone , sync
"or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)"
You can delete them when you import the photos to your computer - using whatever softare that you import them with or you can go to the pics and hit the trash can on the bottom of the screen.
