HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again.  How could save them onto my iMac?

I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1).  Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad,  iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
WHOA.
I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
Many thanks!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

    Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
    If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

  • How do you add music to the ipad

    How do you add music to the new ipad?

    Purchase and download music in the iTunes app or sync your iTunes library from your computer.
    iTunes 11 for Windows - setting up syncing.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    A brief synopsis.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • Can you add 3g to the ipad mini later if you purchase the non cellular model?

    I am interested in buying an ipad mini but I'm not sure whether to get the ipad mini with cellular data. So does anyone know if I can add the 3g later to the ipad mini if I purchase the non cellular model?
    Thanks,

    No you can't, and the ipad mini is 4g LTE. It doesn't come with the hardware to enable cellular if you don't buy one with cellular

  • I want to delete photos on my ipad but not delete them from my main computer?

    After deleting my photos from my iPad to make room for more, does this automatically delete them from my main computer or is there a mechanism to prevent them from being deleted from the main computer?

    If you are referring to photo stream, then if you set your computer up correctly to have photo stream photos automatically imported into iPhoto events, then deleting the photos from your photo stream album, on another device, will not delete them from the computer.

  • My photos on the iPad and not transferring to the iMac

    I have an iPad with lots of albums on, I have done a recent back up to the cloud and have photo streaming turned on.
    I have just bought a mac and I thought the photos would transfer over from the cloud, but only one of the albums has (album is not the most recent)
    I have plenty of spare iCloud storage.
    Can anyone suggest what the issue may be?

    Have you tried quitting iPhoto, restarting your Mac and resetting your iPad? A fresh start approach, if you will.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Have you tried using Image Capture instead of iPhoto? Connect the iPad and launch Image Capture. That won't solve any problems that you might be having with iPhoto, but it might let you import the photos to the computer for safe keeping and backup purposes.

  • Can I use iBooks for the iPad while I'm on an Airplane?

    Can i books be accessed on and airplane? Is it allowed?

    Yes - as long as Airplane mode is enabled with the iPad which disables wi-fi and bluetooth access and the same for 3G access for the 3G model - no different from being able to use an iPhone or iPod Touch during flight with Airplane mode enabled first.
    Some airlines offer wi-fi access during flight - for longer flights, which is available at an additional cost.

  • How do I delete imported photos on the iPad in less then 2000 clics?

    Hi.
    I've been using the iPad to collect photos form my digital cameras.
    I have a few thousand of such photos on my iPad.
    Today I wanted to delete them (because they take a lot of memory and are synched anyway after correction).
    I could only find how to delete them by selecting them one by one on the iPad .
    On the Mac, I use Aperture, which has no option (AFAIK) for deleting imported photos.
    How stupid is that that you can import thousands of photos on the iPad and not delete them in under 1000 clics?
    I just found out that I still have iPhoto on my Mac, so I am going to import pictures from the iPad to iPhoto and use the option to delete them.
    Anyone with a less ridiculous solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jerome.

    The iPad's file system is hidden and not accessible unless perhaps you have jailbroken the iPad.
    Not jailbroken. The OP asked about photos that were imported, not sync'ed.
    Quote: "I've been using the iPad to collect photos from my digital cameras.

    The import photo albums generated using the CCK are accessable just like the "Saved Photos" album.
    As far as "clueing you in on how I do that", see my previous post.

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Yes you can use a USB drive to transfer photos to the iPad, this is how...

    To transfer photos from a USB thumb drive to the iPad you need to:
    1. Plug the USB device into a Mac.
    2. Open the Disk Utility app.
    3. Pick the USB device in the left hand window.
    4. Click on the Erase tab
    5. Pick MS-DOS (FAT) and hit Erase.
    6. After the formatting is done. Click on the USB device to open it up.
    7. Make a new folder a name it DCIM (that an eye i)
    8. Drag your photos to that folder. 
    9. Connect the USB kit to the iPad and plug the USB device into it...done.
    Now you can on the fly transfer photos to the iPad using a USB thumb drive. No syncing to iTunes. For Windows computers use FAT-16
    I've written up on how to play Flip videos on the iPad without converting the video.  Yes it can be done. I will post this later today. (I'm getting old and tend to leave out nouns, adjectives and verbs when writing. I hope you understand the above.)

    I made a mistake. The one USB drive that did not work was a 4GB not 2 GB. It is formated in FAT 32. The FAT 32 format is not the issue since II have successfully connected both FAT 16 and FAT 32 formated USB drives. I think it is just too big (too many chips inside) and draws too much power.
    Doing a Google search it appears that the maximum drive size with FAT 16 is 2GB (one place hinted it was 4 GB). Since many SD cards are bigger that 4 GB today they can't be FAT 16 and thus FAT 32 has to be acceptable with the CCK and the iPad..

    I did this with a two year old 4 gig USB thumb drive. Did you format the drive on a Mac using the DOS format? If your on windows you need to use fat-16. If you use fat 32 or the wrong Mac format you will get an error that this device draws to much power.
    I know somebody else that made this work. If you can't get it to work then it's the drive or you didn't format the drive right. You know this is a work around and work around don't always work. I posted this for the people who come into these forums looking for a fix.

  • How to add fonts to the iPad

    Hello,
    My stolen Mac had more than 100 fonts; I do need some 10, maybe 20 but Pages only shows 5 or 6.
    How can I get others fonts? Can I get some cursive like Amazone?

    You can't add fonts to the iPad, only Apple can add them.
    If there are particuar fonts that you'd like then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

    Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.
