How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

iPhoto '08, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

This workflow may do what you want:


1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.

2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.

3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.

4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.

5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.

6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.

7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.

8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.

9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.

That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.
