Question

iPhone photos

by Oct 23, 2014 8:24AM PDT

I have an iPhone 5s. My iMac is OS 10.8.5.
When I delete photos from my iPhone is there a way to delete many at one time without having to individually select each photos? Now, I select each photo I want to delete then trash it. This is very time consuming.
The next big problem is when I hook up my iPhone to my iPhoto to add new photos, ALL THE PHOTOS I JUST DELETED FROM MY IPHONE HAVE BEEN UNDELETED.
They are all back on my iPhone. I have not checked the synch photo on iPhone. Don't know why they come back. Help!

Go to "Photos ", find a file named "Recent Deleted Photos". All photos you deleted are listed in it, select them and delete again.
