Best way to transfer photos on an iPad 2

Hi there!
I have recently bought an iPad 2 and i'm simply lovin' it. it is my first iPad ever and i'm very satisfied with my purchase.so far.
but i wanted to ask from you guys what would be the best (or fastest) way to transfer files such as photos or home videos to my iPad 2?
would that be via an app or an adaptor for my SD/microSD card?
and do i need to download an app to view those files?
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).
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.
 Cheers, Tom

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?

    Hi!
    What is the best way (as far as highest quality and most efficient) to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?  Do I need Shutterfly to make CDs of all of my current photos?
    Thanks for any help!!

    How to make the best quality Sutterfly copies is a good question for ShutterFly support - eithere download the pohotos or get the CD depending on what ShutterFly support suggests and then import to iPhoto
    iPhoto simply takes the quality you provide and makes an exact copy of it

  • Is there a way to transfer photos from a ipad to storage without a computer

    I will be travelling oversea's and will use my ipad mini (with 30gb free space) to store photos from the SD memory cards from my camera. The ipad will be used to edit the photo's whilst travelling.  As I will be shooting in RAW the photos will take up a considerable amount of memory (800 photos per 64gb)  Is there a way to transfer the photos to the ipad to edit and then save all the photo's to an external portable hard drive or cloud to free up the space on the ipad mini for more photos to be transferred for editing.

  • What's the best way to transfer apps to another iPad?

    I just upgraded from the original iPad to the iPad 4th gen, and I want to transfer apps and their saved data as well if possible so I don't have to repurchase them. What's the best way to do this?

    apps never bind to the device they bind to the appleID you could not buy them again if you tried
    any attempt to buy an app already bought with the appleID will result in a free redownload

  • Best way to transfer photos over a wireless network?

    My husband and I have just returned from holiday. We each had a camera, and my husband brought his MacBook Pro. We downloaded all our photos to his iPhoto library as we went along. (We made a folder with my name on, to keep mine separate, in which there are 500+ photos.) Now we are home I want to import my photos into my iPhoto library on my iMac and then delete them from his laptop. We have a wireless network at home and also use Time Capsule. Can anyone tell me the best way to do it as I'm nervous about touching iPhoto libraries! Thank you.

    Chris:
    You could connect the two Macs with either an ethernet cable (and make a mini LAN) or a Firewire cable and use the Target Disk Mode. You can then copy the photos to your Mac for importing into iPhoto.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

  • For windows users,  best way to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone

    I have a friend who just purchased new iphone and she'd like to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone.
    What is the best steps for her to take?
    She has a Windows machine.
    thanks in advance!!!

    Make sure iTunes is loaded on the PC
    If all she wants are photos, she has to have the photos on her PC, not just on the old phone.  The old iPhone backup doesn't save the actual photos, just the setting pointing to where the photos came from.
    If the photos are on her PC, your should be able to sync them to the new iPhone with the Photos tab in iTunes (after the new phone is plugged in).
    If the photos aren't on her computer, she can copy them from whatever computer has them (assuming she has access to it).

  • Best Way to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac

    Okay, here's my situation.
    I installed Snow Leopard and the installation window told me I had to change my volume scheme. Not knowing why the button to allow me to do this was grayed out, I called Apple. The woman I talked to had me boot from the Snow Leopard disc and perform that action. It worked, but what she had be do seemed to delete my hard drive. Because what did say "Macintosh HD" now said "Untitled 1".
    I finished the installation and came to find out that hard drive files were gone.
    Of course Apple can't be blamed, because I should've had my computer backed up. (Ehh. I'm still very angry though..)
    Anyways, I found a nice program to transfer the music from my iPhone to my Mac, but not one single reliable to one to transfer photos.
    HELP! I really need to get these photos (amount: 2,000+) on my computer so I can sync it.

    I assume these photos are NOT in your camera roll, correct?
    If that's the case:

    Of course you realize that the photos you synced to your phone were "optimized" for viewing on the iphone & thus were reduced in size.

  • How is the best way to transfer photos to external HD

    How do I go about moving the photos from iphoto onto an external hard drive? I would like for them to be on the external drive so that they wouldn't be taking up space on my computer, but to still be able to see them and work with them in iphoto as if they were on the computer itself.
    Also, I would like for them to be in a Windows compatible format, where I could plug the external HD into a Windows computer and work with them on it if I needed to. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    MacBookGal:
    Are you running a "referenced" library? That is one where you don't copy the photos into the library during import. If that is the type of library you have you can move the "source" files to the external HD but you will lose the links to them in iPhoto. When clicking on a thumbnail with the photos moved to another HD you'll get a message that iPhoto can't find the original and do you want to find it. I've learned that finding one photo in an event and relinking it will relink the other photos in that event. You will have to do that with every event you have.
    Also you do know that with a "referenced" library you cannot move, rename or edit the source file from the Finder. Also if you delete a photo from the library it will not be deleted from the source files. The biggest downside is that if while your in iPhoto and working the external HD loses connection for any reason you can corrupt the database file for the library. That can make the library non useable and make it necessary to start over with a new library and reimport. However, following the tip at the end of my signature you can recover from that situation fairly easily. If you do a search in this forum for "referenced" you'll find some very well worded arguments against using a referenced library by Terence Devlin and other.
    You can run a "managed" library from the external HD. Just follow Niels' post for that. You can have your full library on the external with a smaller on your laptop for traveling. You can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy Events or Album between the libraries as needed and keep the keywords, comments and titles intact.
    But the original files would not be available to PC users. To make the source files available for PC users the format of the external HD would have to be FAT 32 which iPhoto doesn't not like very well and can cause problems.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

    presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
    If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.
