Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I can't get my computer photos off of my iphone. I click remove photos previously synced, but once I sync the photos are still on my iphone.

I was quick to hit sync when I was messing with my itunes for the first time, because I had assumed it would put photos taken on my phone onto my computer. Once I took my phone off of the wire I had went to take a photo and was told my storage was full. Come to find out my phone is now completely full with my computer photos. I attempted to unsync my photos, but when I click removed previously synced photos... They are still in my gallery.. When click sync, still in my gallery. When I restart my iphone, still there! I'm not sure I can live without being able to take photos 😟 This is not good. I need them to go away.

iPhone 4

If that happened to me, here's what I would do:


1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. After syncing, while plugged in, go to the Photos tab in the iPhone's summary area. Uncheck "Sync Photos". Then click "Apply" at the bottom. That should remove all photos from your iPhone.


2. Select those photos you wish to sync from the same summary - Photos page in iTunes. Click the "Sync Photos" button to sync only those photos. Apply again.
