My ipad froze with a message that it had not been backed up to icloud. To gain control, I connected to my laptop and reset the ipad. This deleted all of my photos, but the backup to the computer failed. I now have some of the photos, but need to delete.

My iPad froze with a message that it had not been back up to iCloud. I connected it to my laptop and chose to reset the iPad. It tried to back up the photos, etc., to the computer, but the computer ran out of room (I normally have about 16GB of disk space free, but I have a 2nd disk on the firewire connection.

I ended up with the iPad working again, but the photos are not right--most have been duplicated and the .mov files are missing. I can reload the photos from the camera's flash disks, but I cannot delete the photos from the iPad without going thru the reset procedure again. Help!
