How do I delete photographs from an iPad?

Then I have the option of deleting those files, all quite simple. Perhaps, not efficient when trying to manage/delete 100's, or 1000's or image files as one might when using a desktop or laptop computer, but simple enough. Not a matter of simplicity, it's usability. Touching each photo is fine if you have a small number to delete, but I take a hundred photos a day or more when on holiday, and I don't expect to have to touch a thousand images or more at the end of the trip. A select all option, or the ability to delete a day at a time is an obvious requirement which Apple have missed. Crazy! What is crazy is taking a hundred photos a day with an iPad or iPhone. For that I use my D300S and/or G11. I transfer D300S and G11 shots back to the iPad to place in albums for side shows and other sharing. My primary backup storage is my 500GB Colorspace UDMA not my 64GB iPad or 32GB iPhone. I remove images from the iPad as needed, I concede that a delete all option would be useful. -- Regards, Savageduck |

At least with Android, once you connect it via USB, it becomes a mass storage device, allowing you to do whatever you want efficiently. as i said before, if you plug the ipad into a computer, it shows up as a standard digital camera and then you can copy and delete photos as you would with any other device, using whatever software you prefer. why is everyone making this far more complex than it needs to be? It's not complex, it's just a pain to have to tap 1000 photos individually when using an iPad alone. No computer.... -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

[] aren't you going to want to copy the photos to your computer? Not necessarily, no. I may be using my iPad as an in-the-field backup storage device, reading from the camera's SD card. after you copy the photos and with the ipad still connected, select all and delete. in fact, some software can be configured to delete the photos automatically when you copy photos, so there's nothing additional to do. I didn't take a second computer with me - hand luggage only, so the iPad was /all/ I had. It is functionally lacking you have to admit, when it needs a thousand taps to delete a week's photos. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

The hundreds of photos are coming from various other cameras, with the iPad being used both for backup storage and display. You might also load pictures /onto/ the iPad to have albums to show to others. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

You do mean a "Delete All" option don't you? ;-) The hundreds of photos are coming from various other cameras, with the iPad being used both for backup storage and display. That is tough to do if you are filling 16 & 32GB cards to the limited space on a 64GB iPad. If your iPad is of lower capacity, even more so. My 64GB iPad currently has 25GB taken up with Apps and data related to those Apps. That is mainly stuff such as maps and Evernote documents. Then I have 3GB of audio files & 4.7GB of video files, and 0.10GB of PDF manuals and other books, along with 2.8GB of "Other" for a total of 35.6GB. Since the 64GB iPad has a total available space of 58GB after basic format and iOS is accounted for leaving me with 22.4GB for image files, and as I said I am shooting RAW onto 16 & 32GB CF cards, that makes the iPad a not particularly roomy in the field backup. As I said my primary, "on the road" backup storage is a Colorspace UDMA. That becomes part of my triple redundant travel backup protocol; CF card-- UDMA--Laptop-- outboard FW OWC HD. http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive-...-UDMA-s/64.htm ....and then I also use a 1TB PogoPlug device and DropBox for cloud storage. I don't use iCloud. You might also load pictures /onto/ the iPad to have albums to show to others. ....and that is exactly what I do. I use the Photo Transfer App to move processed and resized images wirelessly to iPad albums to use as a portfolio. http://www.phototransferapp.com/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

The iPad should be capable of that without making the user jump through the hoop of touching each and every photo. sure it would be nice to have a select all, but it's also a piece of cake to delete them from a computer. in fact, it's even easier to delete them on a windows pc than on a mac. It's still more complicated than it need be even when you have a computer. Having folder names in hexadecimal is not friendly! The fact of the matter is that the iPad lacks a function which many people would expect it to have, and saying that someone doesn't need that function or that they could do it if they have a computer is just making excuses for this omission. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Not particularly great as a primary in field backup where 2 x 16GB cards would stress the iPad to its limit. Among those albums and images in both my iPhone & iPad, I keep a backup of my travel documents in an album; passport, drivers license, medical insurance card, auto insurance & Law Enforcement ID. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's still more complicated than it need be even when you have a computer. Having folder names in hexadecimal is not friendly! copy the lot and sort it out in lightroom. the names of the photos or the folders are irrelevant. what matters is the tags within the photos, namely the exif data. The fact of the matter is that the iPad lacks a function which many people would expect it to have, and saying that someone doesn't need that function or that they could do it if they have a computer is just making excuses for this omission. i said it would be nice to have a select all, but the lack of it is not as big of a deal as it's made out to be. if you are going to be saving photos in the field, get a device designed for that purpose. the ipad isn't that device. |
