I can't delete an album on my iPhone 4

You are the one making stupid comment. I was reply to the OP problem and you bulge in insulting like you know better. You are also hijacking the thread. If the thread's tips and replies are not helping you, you can start another so it's not about you. Get it now? I have my points from helping other but not to an arrogant idiot who doesn't have any manners or etiquette and also name calling. This is my last reply to you. Like you said if you habe half a brain.

Let me see if I can ask an intelligent question. If I'm missing anything, please educate me. I have an iPhone 4 running iOS6 (just downloaded). I synch it to iTunes on a laptop running Windows 7, 64 bit. I have 3 Photo Albums,

1. Camera Roll
2. Photo Library
3. ForPhone

I created the "ForPhone" album and I can play around with it, add/remove photos, etc. Regarding number 2 "Photio Library", is that one part of the hardwired iPhone software and as such protected in some way? I don't it when searching for it from iTunes and I cannot find a way to remove anything from it. It's not catastrophic. I just have to understand that whatever I put in there is permanent, or so it seems.

Photo Library comes from when you sync with iTunes Photos tab. Select and de-select in computer iTunes Photos tab and sync is how you refresh the iPhone Photo Library folder.

Michael it can be deleted we just need to figure out how. And as for the last reply the problem is the photi library no longer exists on the pc

Adzi: its windows vista its an iphone 4s and its a pc. I do have the option to select and deselect but not any of the folder or albums off the i phone

There is no photo library in my itunes. Its only on the i phone

That's the same with me. It seems whatever I "go find" through iTunes goes into "Photo Library" on the phone and creates a duplicate of it with the Folder name I selected. I cannot "deselect" Photo Library in iTunes, as it isn't there. I'm probably missing something or doing something wrong, so I'm staying tuned here. 😉

Michael!!!!! I got it. Either we We're not understanding or everyone here was not explaining it correctly I finally figured it out and did it here's what I did: Connect your iPhone to your PC allow it to sync and then open your iPhone under devices in iTunes. Then click on the photos tab. HERE IS THE BIGGIE WHERE EITHER WE DID NOT UNDERSTAND OR IT WAS NOT EXPLAINED CORRECTLY! Select or place a checkmark in the box next to" sync photos from". Then Underneath that you will find: all folders ,selected folders ,include videos click on "selected folders". It should then open up a folder box with any and all folders/ photos you may have on your PC that's also in iTunes. Make sure none of those photos or folders are selected. Then hit sync! A window will open up explaining and telling you what you are about to do and make sure you allow the operation to complete don't cancel it! don't worry nothing in your camera roll will be effected any and all photos/ folders you had previously synced onto your phone will now be erased and u can start from the begining again to sync photos to ur i phone. Ur welcome!!!

Photo Library (album/folder) came with the iPhone to house your photo events and albums you synced with iTunes. So Photo Library is the snapshot (photos that are checked) view of your iTunes' Photo Library. If the links are corrupted somehow, you need to restore from backup using iTunes (might help if backup has the links) otherwise restore as new without the backup. To put back missing links.

I think we're close to being in the same "album" (hah hah hah). How can I synch photos from a folder on my laptop into "Photo Library" on my phone without creating a duplicate of those photos in a new album (that has the folder name I searched for in iTunes)? What should I choose in iTunes? Here's the scenario: In iTunes, I check "Sync photos from:" and I browse to a folder, say "Stuff" that has 4 photos. When I sync my phone, those 4 photos come into "Photo Library" in my phone, but it also creates an album called "Stuff" with the same 4 photos.

First of all, there're no duplicates, they're just links. You can refer to the same photo in different folders/albums. If you delete the original then all that linked to it are also gone.

OK, I think I got it. The reason I was initially concerned is because I thought there would be a space issue, IOW dupes take up space. But if these photos I think of as dupes are just links, then there's no space issue, correct?

Correct.

I think that does it for me. I need to learn how to manipulate iTunes photos better. Your answer was a big help. 🙂

You're welcome.
