I took a bunch of pictures on vacation and copied them to iPhoto. Now I don't know how to clear the camera roll short of deleting the pictures 1 by 1. Is there an easier way?
If you are using iPhoto, when you are asked to download the photos, you are given an option to delete the originals. It does this with my Cannon, as well as with my iPhone. I ususually have it delete the originals, and then I will transfer what, if any, of the photos I want to keep on the phone.I took a bunch of pictures on vacation and copied them to iPhoto.

I have one pic on my phone that my daughter took of herself that pops up every time, the 'delete original' suggestion is so easy, why didn't I think of that? Duh.so i had 100 pics...and for whatever reason i didn't mark that the pictures should be "deleted" after importing to iphoto on my mac. So now i have all the pictures on the mac and i have not deleted them from the iPhone? Is there anyway to delete them all rather than indivdually?
I guess i could experiment with different ways...like importing again with the " delete" option on and then also deleting these duplicates from iphoto..but is there another way of deleting them all from the iPhone?
Go to photos(not camera)>camera roll>top right button>select photos>deleteI tried this but be aware if you have synced you photos before and when iphoto ask you to reload and you click no and click delete orginals, it won't. I have photos on my iPhone that won't go away since I refuse to reload them, don't want doubles.
Go into Photos and read my post ^I have double photos in my Photo Library. How can I delete one of each? It doesn't show a delete button on the bottom of the screen.
Too dangerous. I know someone with an Android who accidentally hit the delete all button. He was devastated as he had no backup of the photos and had never synced them to a computer. I agree with Apple on this one. Placing tick marks next to the photos you want to delete doesn't take long at all, and with a two-step delete, it's not something you are going to accidentally do. Even then, they now have a recently deleted folder.Years later and still no 'Select All' option.
You bring up a very good point. I never thought about how easy it would be for someone to delete their entire library. With kids carrying their parents phones, I could see that happening.Too dangerous. I know someone with an Android who accidentally hit the delete all button.

But we now have the recently deleted album. So if you did accidentally delete all, you could so restore them, No?You bring up a very good point.

I do think it should be an option, maybe deep within settings and have it require a password. Similar to deleting all content, but have it apply only to photos.
Sure, but only if they survived the heart attack that would occur right after accidentally deleting it.But we now have the recently deleted album. So if you did accidentally delete all, you could so restore them, No?
I see a lot who upload all their photos to elsewhere, then want to delete all from the camera roll. I never upload all my photos at one time, unless I'm going to restore as new.Sure, but only if they survived the heart attack that would occur right after accidentally deleting it.
My question is how often do people want to delete their entire camera roll? I never have and I don't think I ever will want to. Tick marks are perfect, IMO. You can bulk-delete really fast with that without wiping the entire camera roll.
