Is there a way to import photos to iPad without syncing to iTunes?

I have pictures on my MacBook Pro that my friend would like to have on her iPad. There are A LOT of pictures. I have read the article about syncing photos via iTunes. In that article, it says that "syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device." Deleting current photos on her iPad is not an option. Emailing the photos and then saving them on the Ipad would take too long.
Is there a way (other than emailing or syncing the iPad via iTunes) to get thoes pictures from my MacBook Pro to her iPad?
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) with OS X Mavericks (10.9)
iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3

Yes there is. Use iCloud Photo Stream. You can share up to 1,000 photos in one album, up to 100 albums with up to 100 people per album.
You must first make sure you have iCloud Photo Sharing switched on in iPhoto.
1. iPhoto Preferences > iCloud > Photo Sharing (check box ticked)
2. Create an Album with the photos of your friend (up to 1,000 photos)
3. Follow instuctions from this Apple Help link to "Create a shared photostream" http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#phtf7fe6394
4. Your friend will receive an invitation to accept your shared photostream and once accepted all the photos will appear on your friends iPad.

  • Deleting Photos on ipad without syncing to itunes

    I have an ipad, I have pics that were synced from a computer which crash and I do not have any more - how do I delete those images from my ipad -

    You cannot delete those photos without removing them using iTunes or unless you totally erase the iPad using Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.

  • Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.

    Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll?  I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR.  When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

    You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
    In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

    If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

  • Is there any way to import photos directly from Blackberry bold smart phone

    Is there any way to import photos from my blackberry bold to the my ipad 2?

    Not directly, no, not that I've seen. You need to get the photos from your Blackberry into your computer. From there you can sync them to your iPad.

  • Is there a way to save photos from lightroom without the original file?

    I recently imported photos into lightroom, but I failed to save the original files on my computer and they are deleted from my card.  The pictures are still showing up in lightroom.  Is there a way to save them from lightroom without the original file?

    Your images aren't - and never were - in Lightroom, they're just referenced in Lightroom's database.
    Lightroom does generate jpeg previews of the originals though, and you can export those using Rob Cole's Preview Exporter plugin: robcole.com - PreviewExporter.
    To be clear though, these aren't the originals.

  • Is there a way to import photos into iPhoto '11 from MobileMe Gallery?

    I am soon to take a trip with a digital camera, iPad2 and camera connection kit. I know I can store a great many photos on my iPad during the trip. I have a MobileMe account, so I know I can export the photos to the Gallery easy enough. I would like to know if, when I return home to my iMac, there is a way to import those photos directly into iPhoto from the MobileMe Gallery. If yes, then I can delete the photos from the iPad2 periodically as they mount up, knowing they are safe in the Gallery and available for further use in iPhoto and elsewhere. If no, then the Gallery is really of little use to me and I won't spend the time uploading to the Gallery.
    My apologies in advance as I am also posting this exact question in the MobileMe forum.
    I depart very soon and hope the Community here can offer some quick advice! Thanks!

    If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

  • HT1296 Is there a way to import photos from an iPad to a computer, that were originally synced with iTunes?

    I recently had to reformat my computer, and unbeknowst to me, i only made a short cut to my directory, not a full copy.
    Now my only copies of rather important images are on my ipad, however I am unable to download them as they were synced using iTunes originally. I've tried everything i could think of, including viewing hidden folders.
    I really need these photos, I even tried sending them to myself via photostream, but I can only view. not save.
    Please, if anyone has any advice I'd be forever greatful.

    There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them back via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer e.g. their resolution may have changed, colourse may look different etc

  • Is there any way to import photos from my iPad to my computer without using iPhoto?

    I have a lot of photos on my iPad which I'd like to import onto my Mac Pro.  Because I'm not a fan of iPhoto is there any other way to do this and import my photos to a specific folder?
    Thanks for any advice.  I appreciate it!

    Sure.  Use image capture or aperture or whatever photo management software you like.

  • Is there a way to import photos stored in iPhoto into Adobe Bridge CS6?

    I am having a problem opening my iPhotos in Adobe Bridge or Photoshop. Any help would be appreciated.

    1. Bridge or iPhoto: take your pick. The both do the same job so using both makes no sense. Trying to use them both will add confusion and complexity that you don't need.
    2.  You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> Advanced -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
