Deleting photos - Help!

[John F]

Have been loading my wife's new iPod touch (a very rash wedding and birthday present) and rather stupidly downloaded the vast majority of our iPhoto library, resulting in a gutbusting file of >4,000 photos exhausting any space on the iPod.

I need advice on how to delete the vast majority of these so that I can get back to a manageable file of approx 150. Managing the music files is easy (approx 3,500 tunes) - managing photos is a nightmare.

Well the way you get photos onto the iTouch is by specifying which folder you want to sync (as you already know). So simply make a folder within your photos folder and just copy or move only the photos you wish to sync onto the iTouch into that folder. Then specify in iTunes just to sync that folder only. All the other photos that are currently on your iTouch will be erased (from your device, not from the computer) and only the ones you specified will be synced. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Have followed your advice and have resolved the problem. From >3,000 photos to 50 in a few seconds.

It's easy when you know how!

Thanks once again
