Why don't I get the option to delete a photo album when I tap 'edit' with my I pad?

When trying to delete an album after tapping the album, then tapping edit, there is no option to delete the album. When viewing photos tapping edit shows a greyed
out delete button.

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 - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. 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.

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

  • Many duplicate photos in my photo stream, that don't give me the option of deleting them. Memory full. Help !

    Some how, many old pics and videos have a duplicate copy in my photo stream. They don't allow me the option to delete them ( no trash can symbol at the bottom).
    Need help ASAP. Memory full.

    They are the same folder - pictures I moved from my computer to the iphone but I tried the unsync thru itunes and it didn't work.  I also tried to just access the folders from libraries file on the computer thru the phone and they aren't showing up there either.
    It's almost like it doesn't exist on the phone - won't even give me the option to just delete the folders from the phone or itunes....

  • In iphoto how to get the gold you delete a photo warning message when you check the box not ask

    in iphoto how to get the gold you delete a photo warning message when you check the box not ask

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Why don't we get the choice to have an app or not

    Why do we not get the choice wether or not to have icons for app? The YouTube, game center, and the video icons just take up space and I never use them. We should have the option wether or not to keep them. I understand that you either own the companies or have partnered with them but you should not force your customers to keep the icons on their iPad and iPhones.
    Please give us the choice.
    Other than that I love the iPad but now that I am using it for school, I need the space as much as possible.
    Thanks,

    You are talking to fellow users here, not to Apple. If you want leave feedback for them then you can do so here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    You can always move them to a different screen, or, as you're on iOS 4.2, you can put them into a lesser used folder so that they are less visible.

  • Why wont itunes give me the option to delete a song from my computer as well as the itunes library??

    I want to clean up my music library, but when I try to delete a song from iTunes it doesn't give me the option to delete the file for the song from my laptop. Is there a reason why??

    If you are deleteing from a playlist, it won't ask to delete from the hard drive (unless you hold Shift and press Delete).
    If you are deleting from the library and it is not asking you, go to iTunes prefs > Advanced and tick Reset all dialog warnings.

  • How can I delete a photo album, I click on edit but do not get a delete option

    Hello
    I am having great trouble in deleting a folder from my photo album, I click on edit but do not get an option to delete the content, it just opens up showing all content. My friends Ipad gives him the option to delete a folder, have I a problem with the device?
    I note also that after adding a folder successfully, adding another folder overlays the former and changes the  title or adds only some photos causing a mixture of both folders with the same title. Has anyone any advice how to overcome these problems?
    I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer.
    Thanks for reading this

  • I've transferred. Some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app ''simple transfer'' but I can't find the option to delete those photos from iPhone, if any body knows let me know please??

    I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.

    I have a suggestion, noted below,  but I'd like a little more information please.  Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone?  If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
    I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad.  I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad.  The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame.  To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want.  After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way.  I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
    A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync.  It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper.  It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do.  After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them.  There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
    I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone.  I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
    Good luck.

  • Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

    I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

    It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)

  • When holding on a link, why don't I have the option to open in a new tab?

    I'm trying to open PDFs and PowerPoint though my school website angel. When getting to the link that opens the power point or PDF, my classmates are able to hold on the link and get options one of which is to open In a new tab. I do have the option to copy, open, or put on reading list but do not have the option to open in a new tab so that way I can open it with a app. Anyone know why?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Why don't I get the little "locked" symbol anymore?

    When I sign into a company website that I wish to buy a product from, I no longer get the little "padlock" in the lower right corner of my screen. Locked meant secure site and unlocked meant don't use it. Now I get no symbol. It doesn't matter if I have additionally signed onto their secure site. (llbean, cabela, amazon, 1800 flowers) all flopped in this regard. Even as I write this I'm not getting a little padlock so I don't even know if THIS is a secure site. This lack of a padlock symbol caused my husband to go to another company to place an order for flowers - and order by telephone. Me, too. Hope you can clear up the confusion. Mary-Anne

    Firefox ever since Firefox 3.0 has been using the Site Identity Button
    The padlock before only showed that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/security/identity/
    If you still want a padlock icon also then there is this Extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
    Also the Status bar is now replaced by the Add-on bar. If you want the Status bar then see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

  • Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

    I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
    I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
    Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • HT1539 Why do I only get the SD copy of a digital download when I bought the blu-ray HD film?

    Just bought the 3D Blu-ray version of Prometheus and was pleased to see it came with a digital copy, however on redemption in the iTunes store it only downloads the SD version. Is this standard practice? Why don't they give you the HD version of the film if you buy the blu-ray HD version?!

    When I put my redemption code in, I immediately got three downloads: HD 1080p, SD and iTunes Extras.
    Is your device compatible with HD (because if not it will default to the SD version)?
    If so, have you selected a preferred HD format in both the Playback and Store tabs in iTunes Preferences?
    If you visit the Prometheus product page in the iTunes store, do you have the option to purchase a HD version? If there is, it should say "(Downloading [format])", where [format] is what you have selected in Preferences.
    See here for more information.
    If your computer ticks all the boxes, I suggest sending Apple a support ticket.
