deleting photo on ipad/ipad mini

The "red delete " butoon to delete a photo on the ipad and the ipad mini doesn't work. After I select a photo to delete, the red button shows up , but does not seem to work.

Anyone having the same problem? If so, how can this be fixed.

thanks for any help.

How did the photos get onto the iPad ? 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. 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
