I have some duplicate photos in my Photo Library and I can't delete them.



Apple has really made a bad choice with this.

your photos are being synced from somewhere. plug in your iPhone then click your iPhone on the left and click the Photos tab at the top. what does it say next to "Sync photos from ______" and is the box next to that checked?

Yeah I have it syncing with a folder full of pictures.

How can I delete specific pics or put them in camera roll so I can delete them?

hey!

itunes - youriphone- photos - click little box to "sync photos from" - create an empty folder on your desktop - sync with that folder and it will delete the library and whatever extra folders in your albums except for camera roll. :)
