I accidentally synced my computer photos to my phone and when I tried to delete them, while following apple care instructions, I got stuck when I wasn't able to press the selected folders button on my apple laptop while on iTunes, Please help
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2
I am having the same issue By sync. It will delete all the photos but what if someone want to delete selected photos only
And i think apple should have give the option in iphone to delete sync. Photos without connecting it to pc
Thank you!!! Have been searching all morning to the solution and yours was the only one I found that explained exactly how to remove iTunes photo library
You are a life saver
THANK YOU for the solution! Indeed it was very helpful. Apple Care Helpdesk doesn't even have an answer for me citing that there must be a better way of dealing with this issue . It has been more than 24 hours and I have yet to hear from them again.
i don't understand why did photos remain uneditable after I copied them from computer (MBA) to device. I will have to make a duplication before I can use them - taking up space.
you need to use same computer or Mac you used to sync the photos,IOS 8+ ***** and does not give you the option to delete photos from your iphone that are synced but you can only do it with Itunes from your Mac or PC.... had that same problem for months... but after some hard internet searching found the solution.. just hope it helps
Many thanks, had a small video which I couldn't remove and was really bugging me. Success!!!
WOW THANKYOU SO MUCH, I HAVE WANTED TO KNOW FOR ALMOST A YEAR!!! THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
This works perfect...thanks again!

Hope this will help 😉😉
thank you so much this actually helped me I went to apple store and they could not figure it out I tried so many things and the last resort was to reset my phone and didn't want to and I found this THANK YOU!!!
I can't believe Apple has made such a complicated system for getting photos on to an iDevice. My daugther wanted to copy her vacation photos from her DSLR on to her ipad so she could review them, so I synced them from a folder on the computer with itunes. But now she can't delete those photos individually or at all on her Ipad??? Why Apple, why?
hey, when i click 'photos' on itunes, no pictures or folders are coming up, they only wrote that i can now access the photos on icloud. btw, i'm using ios 9. please help! thank you 🙂
I used a different laptop when syncing the videos, and I can't click the selected albums. Please help 😟
Trying to delete photo albums from iPad. These were synced from iCloud. I've now deleted the albums from iCloud but when I sync again in iTunes, albums aren't removed on iPad.
I still can't get these pictures off my phone. Why is this so difficult?
Fantastic, many thanks! This was driving me up the wall until I read your answer just now.

I can't delete my synced photos!
