how to delete all photos on iphone 4

Hi Allan,

Even though I delete all images from iPhone (4S in my case) I keep getting "events" in iTunes that are no longer in my iPhoto. Take a look at this link:http://screencast.com/t/qQf0DLqx Why is this? More keep appearing as I take more pictures. Does this have to do with iCloud? Nobody has been able to help me on this and I've been asking for quite a long time now 🙂

Somebody heeeeeelp!!!!!!! 😀

Thankx!

i figured it out, it works on the iphone 2G but i think it will work for the newer iphones too.

This is what i did

-connected my iphone to my mac

-open preview

-file > import from iphone

-command + A to select all photos

-hit the delete symbol on the bottom

then it just deleted all photos that were taken from my camera roll.

WORKS GREAT! THANK YOU!

you have to sync your iphone with selecting an empty folder instead of the pictures you imported

easy ! do it via itunes ^^

hope it works with you ..

awesome tip. was driving me crazy... thanks tandoantd!

How to Delete or Orgenize

Iphone Photos Using Mac Preview

Plug in your iPhone and open Preview, then select File > Import From [Your iPhone’s Name]. A window appears showing all the photos on your phone, and you can move them around, save them to disk, and delete them from the phone individually or in batches.

I am so thrilled to report that, YES, in fact you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!

Only a couple hundred more to go.... Thanks! I like this method.

What to do when you have albums that have been transferred from your previous phone which you want to delete? If I press edit I do not have the option to delete the album just to change the order of the albums and I really need to delete some albums. How do I do that?

@ Darkfox89

Command plus A on your keyboard will select all images for deletion.

or

select 1st image plus hold down the command key then select the next image to group them for deletion.

Very good answer!

Tks!

omlyallmacs: You the man (or woman)! Thanks

ps: the swiping trick did nothing on my iphone 4 running iOS 6.1.3

you are a genius.
