Another I-Pad2 Question
 
I bought a I-Pad 2 yesterday for work and when I synched it with my home desk top I messed up and put 9100 pictures on it. Is there an easy way to remove them safely? Thanks

Connect it to your computer if you have a PC, and go to "My Computer" and click on it and it will let you select as many as you highlight to delete. (Assuming it works like my iPhone.)

That is what I do.

Thanks. The pictures were pulled from my desk top and were not already in I tunes.

In the general settings there is an option to let you you wipe the pad of all media and start from scratch.

Id just take it back to square one then reload what you wish through Itunes.

Lol. I wish. Many duplicates I think.

Let me take this a step further -- photos are the ONLY thing that allows your ipad to act just like a portable hard drive (unless you jailbreak it of course). These guys are right just select "my computer" the ipad acts like it's another drive (ipad, or whatever you named it) and delete them.

They probably explained it better than I could so here:

"jailbreaking" and ipad, iphone or ipod in very simplistic terms overrides the apple softwar so you can use it as a portable hard drive -- there is no longer a need to use itunes. You can transfer music/movies/whatever between computers freely. The problem is, each time they update software you need to "re-jailbreak" it unless you continue using the old software or then you don't get all the new functionality.
