Photo operations between iPad and PC

I'm a PC guy who has just purchased an iPad for travel.  Here's what I want to be able to do:
Take pictures with my iPhone or Canon.
Move those pictures to the iPad.
Edit the pictures on the iPad.
Add keywords to the pictures.
After the trip, move the pictures to the PC.
Here's what I've done so far:
Ordered the camera connection kit which should allow me to copy pictures off the camera onto the iPad
Purchased the Photo transfer App which permits me to copy pictures from the iPhone to the iPad and from the iPad to the PC.
Keywords appear to be out of my reach.  I know iPhoto supports them, because I found that feature on my wife's Mac.  But iPhoto for iPad does not appear to allow you to add, view or search by keywords.  Is that correct?
I'm a little concerned about what the iPad is doing to the photo files.  Using iTunes, I downloaded several albums from Photoshop Elements onto the iPad and using Photo Transfer, I attempted to send one of these photos back to the PC.  I compared the original photo with the photo that made the round trip and found that:
It had been renamed.
The keywords that I had attached to the photo in either Windows 7 or Elements had been stripped from the file but properties like Date Taken were preserved.
The dimensions were preserved (3456 x 2304) but the file had shrunk from 2.52 MB to 1.46 MB.  Some of that can be accounted for by the stripping of keywords, but that would represent hundreds of bytes, not over a megabyte.  What went missing?
Any ideas on how to apply and/or preserve keywords on the iPad?

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
On your Canon camera, you may have to do this to import pics from the camera. Switching from Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) [Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.] to Mass Storage Device Mode or vise versa on the camera.

  • Sharing photo tags between iPad and Windows

    We just got a new iPad and we are working out sharing data between our Windows machines and the iPad. From reading the forums, my understanding is that iOS uses tags rather than a folder hierarchy to view subsets of pictures. Is there a common format for tag info? I read a post from 2007 that said there was not a common tag format yet. I'm hoping that in the interventing time something common has emerged.

    Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
    I hope this information will help.

  • Photo syncing between iPad and Lightroom?

    iTunes supports Adobe's Photoshop Elements as a source application for photo albums to sync to iPad. I'm thinking of switching from PSE9 to LightRoom 4, and have downloaded a trial copy. I currently sync PSE albums to my iPad2 via iTunes (Windows 7). I don't see any way of doing the equivalent with LR. Does anyone know a way, other than by using another piece of s/w like Photosmith? Is iTunes likely to get support for LR?

    Lightroom is a non-desctive photo editing platform (which is a huge step up from PSE by-the-way). Part of this is that you will need to export your photos before you can use your edited photos. After exporting them to a folder, you can have iTunes monitor those folders.
    Another app you should consider is Mosaic View is which is better than Photosmith at providing instant automatic access to your Lightroom photos.
    Something tells me that with Aperture/iPhoto being a direct competator to Lightroom... automatic Lightroom access is not in the cards nativly in iOS anytime soon.

  • Pages won't sync between iPad and Macbook

    I cannot get my pages to sync between iPad and Macbook.
    I regularly go back and forth between the two because it's easier to read/edit on iPad and easier to type/copy-paste web info on Macbook.
    I'm finding right now that I have done a multitude of edits on my iPad that are not showing up at all when I open the same document on my Macbook.
    I have closed the document on my iPad so I expected there to be no problems when I opened it on my Macbook.
    Not sure why or what to do....?

    I had this issue too - I have been playing around with it for a few days - turns out you need to save the documents on your mac not under "documents" but rather under "Pages - iCloud" (or "Keynote - iCloud" etc.). After doing this, the document appears on my phone, iPad, iCloud.com etc. with the changes.
    One way to do this is by clicking the dropdown arrow (it shows up when you mouse over the title) to the right of the title of your document on the grey title bar (the thing at the top of the page - above insert, table, chart etc.) and then editing the "where" column.
    Hope this helps! If it isn't clear enough, please let me know!

  • HT5631 how do I verify my apple id? I can't sign in to it in mail and I can't make a new one because it just will not process I'm trying to set up iCloud between iPad and iPhone and having ALOT of difficulty pleAse help need it done by later on today!!!!!

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • TS4036 I received a message that my iCloud storage was almost full. So I went in settings and turned off most of the apps that we're set to back up in the cloud. I deated many of my photos on the iPad and MacBook. No change in cloud storage. How do I clea

    How do I delete items stored in the cloud and clear it so I can get it working? It will not store any more photos. I cannot use it. It is almost full. I don't want to buy any more storage at this time. I delegated some photos on my iPad and MacBook and nothing changes.

    # Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
    # Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
    # This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
    I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

  • Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone

    Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone (IOS 8).

    Hi raydela,
    I understand your calls aren't being transferred between devices.
    Check out the troubleshooting in this article.
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8
    If a call doesn't transfer to your other devices, or you don't see the Handoff icons
    Make sure that your devices are using iOS 8 or later by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
    Check your settings:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
    Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and turn on Handoff.
    Go to Settings > Phone and turn off Wi-Fi Calling.

  • Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

    I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder.  This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

    I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes.  So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab

  • My question is to anyone that can help..I downloaded 2-300 photos on my iPad and want to reload a few hundred more. The last time I did this I lost the first batch of photos I loaded a week before. How do I just add without losing what is already on iPad?

    You need to add the new photos to the ones that are currently on the iPad and (re-)sync them all - only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).
    You can use third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to the Photos app via your wifi network, but they will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album, and not into a 'proper' album.

  • Printing edited photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll using HP eprint app

    I edited and saved photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll. When I use the HP eprint app to print the photos to my HP 5514 Photosmart printer, the edited photo that I select does not show up in the preview, (the original shows up not the saved edited version). I am stumped because in the photo book and on the camera roll the edited version is the only one visible. I don't know what the problem may be. Why is it reverting to the original?

    Hi jdanrok,
    I did some testing on my iPad and found that after you edit a pic in photos and save it, it will only show the edited version. However, if you go to edit the "edited" photo, you can "Revert to Original", which means it is not really saving the "edited" version, it just "remembers" what you have changed.
    When you go into the HP ePrint app, it is only seeing the original, and not the "edited" version.
    If you are printing over local wifi (using Airprint) you can actually print the "edited" photo directly from the Photos App by touching the arrow towards the top of the screen and choosing Print.
    If you are wanting to use the ePrint app, and you are not on your local wifi (through ePrint), you can email the "edited" photo, save the "edited" photo from the email and it will be just the "edited" version. The old psuedo "edited" version will still be there also.

    Is the numbers app compatible between ipad and macbook for syncing?

    I think i have found how to solve the problem. I went into address book preferences and i noticed i didn't have icloud enabled here. As long as i use icloud contacts rather than 'on my mac' contacts it now seems to delete and add across the 2 devices. Many thanks

  • My mother has an iPad and I have an iPad.  I have successfully sent her photos and videos.  She took a photo with her iPad and sent it to me.  I have her mail with the word, "attachment" as well as the paper clip symbol - but there is never a photo!

    My mother has an iPad and so do I. I have successfully sent photos and videos to her.  She took a photo with her iPad and sent it to me.  I receive her mail with the word, "attachment" and with the paper clip symbol - but there is never an attachment!  No photo!  How is this possible if she is doing the exact steps that I do when mailing photos?   Is something locked?  Thanks for help.

    Scroll down to the bottom of the email. Is there a message there to download the rest of the email?
    Quit Mail and try again. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

    I have just connected my computer to my iPad to import photos to my iPad and have imported the wrong ones and wish to delete them. Does anyone know how I do this please. I am a novice at this as I have ony just acquired my iPad,

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Uncheck all of the albums that you want to remove under the Sync Photos From heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 and you can't see the sidebar go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.
