Syncing photos FROM ipad to computer- suggestions?

I dowloaded photos while on vaction TO my ipad - now I can't seem to get them from the ipad to my computer. When it starts to sync it appears it's going to overwrite the ipad with the computer photos so I discontinue so I don't lose the photos. Suggestions?

Open iPhoto while the iPad is connected to the mac.  There will be a "Devices" entry in the left panel where the iPad is listed.  Click on that and you'll see your photos on the iPad.  You can then drag them to the "Photos" entry in iPhoto.

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off 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.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Syncing photos from iPad to macbook and vice versa

    I recently synced my ipad with my new macbook air. I successfuly imported all my photos from my iPad to iPhoto on my laptop.  However, now everytime I connect my ipad and laptop iPhoto opens and asks me to import all the photos all over again, despite the fact that they are still all there.
    I haven't synced my photos with another computer before. I want to be able to add a photo onto my ipad and have it on my laptop and vice versa.
    This doesn't have to be done wirelessly, I am happy to only have it happen when I plug them togerther, but I want the same photos on both my laptop and iPad.
    I havent really messed around with anything as I am afraid of wiping my photos. I understand that I may have to do this via a third party or something, any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Connect the iPad to your Mac then launch iTunes.
    Select the iPad under Devices then select Photos from the menu.
    Deselect:   Sync Photos from
    You probably have iPhoto selected from the pop up menu.
    Deselecting Sync Photos from should prevent the prompt to sync every time you connect the iPad.

  • Syncing photos from iPad to iMac

    I have tried several times to sync my photos from iPad to my computer and I get to a point when the import just stops and it is stuck on the picture and it doesn't finish syncing. Every time I tried to sync, it seems that it creates a duplicate of the photos on my computer that were transfered. Very frustrating. I'm not able to sync all my photos from my iPad.
    Any ideas how I could do this?

    Pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  they are not part of the sync process at all.

  • ONLY sync photos from iPad to iMac folder; automatically how?

    I have 50 GB of pictures in iPhoto on my iMac (10.8.4) along with an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3.
    I would like new pics from the iPhone and iPad to be automatically downloaded into the folder I have set up to get pics from those devices "iPod Photos"
    How do I do this?
    Alternatively, I would like the folder "iPod Photos" to stay sync'ed both ways but only with iPhone and iPad.
    I do not want my fat pics being sent via my 3G Vodafone account to iCloud etc while I am out and about - ONLY via WiFi when I am home.
    Is there a way to set this up?

  • Syncing photos on ipad and computer

    Everytime I sync my computer and ipad I get multiple copies of the photos.  I end up removing them individually from the computer and ipad.  Is there an easier way?

    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync/transfer process is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPad.
    Photos in your iPad's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes and has nothing to do with the iTunes sync process.
    Depending on what you are using for the photo import on your computer, it should include an option to delete the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.
