As far as I know you can only delete them on the I pad by synching to another machine (or cloud ?) that has had the photos deleted.
BS........ Camera -> Camera roll -> Open pic -> trash. [A single finger tap will re-open the "menu" if you miss it the first time btw.] Cheers, Ian
Thanks. My approach was supplied by Apple Care. It still seems to be the only way to delete photos not on camera roll though.
Thought I was pretty cool today, taking some work pictures with my iPhone - then a few minutes later using my iPad2 and "Skitch" to mark up the pictures with labels and arrows (photos showed up automatically via the photo stream). Then I emailed the edited photos to myself to print on my color laser printer. When I was emailing them, I thought it went a little too fast. Resolution was horrible when I printed them. Aha, I see now that pictures that come via the photo stream are not full res. So I wasted all that time marking them up. Copy pictures from iPhone to iPad2 at full res? There is an app for that....
Didn't you get a choice of resolutions when E Mailing? Or did the degradation occur earlier in the process?
Photos in the photo stream are not full resolution. I didn't realize that. So when I opened it in "skitch" (from the photo stream) to mark up, it was already screwed up resolution wise. I guess it makes sense. The photo stream is not really intended to be a file transfer mechanism. It is supposed to allow you to see images on all of your devices. So instead of transferring huge files, it transfers a file size that is good enough for the device it will be displayed on.
A few things are a complete pain in the nuts on this thing, and for no good reason. 1.) iTunes sucks rhino balls for syncing. It doesn't let me see what's on the iPad, and it doesn't let me see what is on the PC that's going to get pushed to the iPad. A directory view on each, with thumbnails would be awesome. 2.) Not sure what the hang up is with iMovie, but it won't let me import movies that I've synced from my PC. They are in the correct format for Apple TV and playback on the iPad itself, but for some reason this isn't good enough for iMovie. Strange and pointless. 3.) I have no idea why I can't have control of my files within apps like Photo and Video. Why in heck can I not delete, rename, within the ipad itself? Really, really strange. 4.) I still haven't found where iTunes on my PC stashes my iPad backups so I can back them up myself...and Apple doesn't list a directory path for this. Once more, strange.
Firstly, please note I'm not jumping in here because "its perfect", it's not. Rather trying to help out a little........ Huh? I'm on a Mac, so things may be a little different for you, but it absolutely shows both. Are you saying it doesn't show up in the left hand window when you connect it? Has it ever shown up? Mine does, I click on it and then there's many tabs across the top - "Music", "Videos" "Pictures", "General" and a few others. Open these and it should be easy to figure out. I'm not using that 'puter right now but can post some screenshots later if it would be helpful? Some of the default settings seem a little strange, but can be changed. I don't want to try and teach you to suck eggs (better than rhino balls though I guess! ) but studying some of the optional settings may just give you something of a Eureka moment...... Strange I agree - I don't have iMovie on it but editing is a very different can of worms to just viewing. I'll try and find a recent review of iMovie - IIRC, "workrounds" (getting into a palatable format) was one of the topics. Got Handbrake? [on the 'puter] Dropbox is your friend!..... Having said that, I have a few movies / tvshows on it; Select the "videos" app and up comes a screen of thumbnails (albeit without a still image since the OS5 upgrade!); Then "edit" on the top right and little "X's appear -> Tap to delete. As for imported photos, I haven't done that but will give it a go later & report back - All mine are in the camera roll and are easily deleted etc...... They don't want you messing with it!..... Hopefully, you back the whole disk up occasionally so they're there somewhere!....... Cheers, Ian
Any lion battery experts out there? Should I use it until the battery is flat or plug it in when I can?
"You pays your money and takes your choice." FWIW, here's my 02c; - Li-ion batteries don't have the "memory" problem we all got used to with Ni-cads. - The charger is pretty intelligent - You can't really overcharge these things. - I let mine run all the way down about every 6 cycles and then leave it to charge fully overnight - Apple says this helps it to maintain calibration accuracy but isn't essential. - Don't leave it plugged in all the time (kinda defeats the object of the thing anyway ) For sure, it's not critical which way you go these days. Cheers, Ian
