Hallo, I tried to cancel some pictures from my ipad, but I realized I had to do it through iTunes, I tried, but it's not so simple. I am not able to see my pictures in the iTunes page, so I can't cancel them. Can anybody help me? I need instruction for "dummies", so please explain me how to do it in a very simple way. Thanks a lot, Giorgia
iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 6.1.3
If they were photos that you synced to the iPad from your computer then they are removed in the same way as you put them on the iPad i.e. select the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then on the right-hand side of iTunes use the Photos tab to select which synced folders/albums that you want to remain on the iPad - you can't see or remove individual photos, it's done at the folder/album level.
If the photos were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites etc then that can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Edit button in thumbnail view. You can also import those photos to your computer and delete them as part of the import process e.g. on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, on a Mac you can use iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture : copying photos to a computer.

I have deleted the photo albums from my iPad using iTunes and unticking the sync photos option in the photos tab HOWEVER, all the photos remain on my iPad under a Photos tab. How do I delete these too?
Are they photos that were synced from your computer e.g. they aren't photo stream photos nor were they taken with the iPad ? If they were taken with the iPad (or were copied from photo stream) then you should be able to delete them via the Edit button at the top right of the screen if viewing the Photos tab in thumbnail view.
If they were synced from your computer (and aren't, for example, edited versions from the iPhoto app or another app on your iPad) and their albums are no longer in the Albums tab in the Photos app then they shouldn't still show in the Photos tab either. You could try closing the app via the iPad's taskbar and see if they still show when you re-open the app.
Clicking the photos icon doesn't show anything at all
What exactly are you wanting to do ? The Photos tab in iTunes is for syncing photos to a device, and removing synced photos from a device.
How do I see my ipad's pictures on iTunes?
