I can't delete or download my iPad photos

I have had this iPad for over three years. For some unknown reason, I am unable to download an album off the iPad or delete those photos. On the iPad there are two albums, Camera Roll and untitled album. Camera Roll is just whatever I take a picture of, and currently there are only 3 photos in it, but in untitled album, there are around 400 that do not show up in Image Capture when I want to download them all (only the three from camera roll).

I also am unable to delete those photos on the iPad, so at the moment I am stuck with a storage full iPad that I am unable to use.

I hope to hear from someone soon,

Kind Regards,

Connect your device to I tunes and start sync to your photos and pictures. try to delete them r find specific path that where they saved in iPad now try to delete them.

If you still unable to delete then backup your iPad data and setting to iTunes except these photos, after you can factory reset to ipad and sync your data again

If the photos were synced to your iPad from a computer then they won't show in Image Capture (nor Aperture or iPhoto) for copying off - and they also can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, only by reconnecting to a computer's iTunes and changing your photo sync selection.

There are iPad apps such as Simple Transfer Pro that can copy those images back to a computer via your wifi network, but as photos are 'optimised' when synced to a device they may not look the same as they did on the computer that they were synced from. To delete synced photos : Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
