Camera dot on IPad?

Maybe I am missing something but I just noticed that at the top of my 64GB iPad three is a dot that look almost identical to camera dot on my MacBook Pro, obviously the iPad does NOT have a camera so what is this dot there for?

Graham beat me to it. But if you want more detail, see step 28 on this site:

iPad Wi-Fi Cellular 32GB MD517LL/A
SD card 4GB Kingston SDHC
SD card 32GB Lexar SDHC Class 10
Nikon D5100
Fry's build desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition
Files type:
*.jpg
Desired outcome:
Transfer *.jpg images from desktop to SD card to iPad for use Photos (camera roll)
Successes:
iPad recognizes and displays *.jpg created in-camera.
Problem statement:
File origin: all image files created with camera listed above.
Files created in camera (*.jpg & *.NEF (RAW), then transferred to desktop. *.NEF files converted to *.jpg. Reload files to SD card in *.jpg format only, iPad does not see / display images to be imported from SD card to iPad.
Problem resolution attempts:
Format SD card using desktop, result - iPad does not recognize SD card
Format SD card using camera, result - iPad recognizes SD card
Try a different SD card (used two, see equipment above)
Test shot photo (*.jpg) in camera work only (no transfer to desktop), result iPad recognizes and displays image
For *.jpgs on desktop
1st convert file names to same nomenclature (system of names) created by camera (DSC_001.jpg) (DSC underscore 3 digits file extension).
2nd load file into same folder that was created by camera on SD cards, result displayed one desktop originating test photo once only. Subsequent attempts failed.
No difference in performance between the 2 SD cards. In camera work displays but not transfer files from desktop to SD card
E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll. I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software. The operating system was updated to what I have now. I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.

Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad. I read prior to purchase what image files were supported. I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.

There's a step by step in the manual
http://support.apple.com/manuals/
There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera.

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive. One of my cameras does not use an SD card. How can I do this?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive. One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line. Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory. Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive? Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad? Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips. Internet and WiFi are not available. Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad). I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC. I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips. Is this possible and how would I do it? I'd appreciate any guidance.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

My camera on my iPad is vert grainy, bad pictures. How can I fix it. It's a ipad2

Help, if you can my camera on my iPad 2 is bad ! Very grainy, every scents I updated the picture is bad.

Don't expect too much from a 0.7MP back camera.

If you want better quality go for the iPad (4th generation)

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
Peace, Clyde

On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

Changes in LRmob are not saved to camera roll on ipad...

I just have been working on a batch of photographs on ipad and saved all the worked on images on my camera roll in ipad. When I opened my camera roll none of the changes had been saved, the photographs were the ones I had synced from desktop to ipad.
The changes have been saved on my desktop though.
Is it not possible to save the file with applied changes to camera roll for sharing with Instagram and Foap? If we can't save changes to camera roll I might as well stay with VSCO cam in ipad then...
A work around is of course that I can pluck them back off probably from the Adobe cloud, but that is another step added to my workflow.
I was hoping to use LRmob because the syncing is wonderful, and I start with LR for all my photographs.
My current workflow is to import pics in LR, then drag the ones I want for Foap and Instagram via iPhoto and shared stream to get them onto ipad or iphone. Import in vsco and from there send to instagram or Foap. I know, rather heavy workload.
I had hoped that LRmobile would have cut this load in half...
I wonder if it is possible to make the changes applied in LRmob savable in camera roll... Since LRmob has been designed for idevices, it does need a saving option on the device. Otherwise it's missing a major feature.
I must admit that the filters and processing are fab... My pics do look so smashing on ipad air.
I am very happy with LRmob apart from the question title...

Thanks Rikk, that is how I understood it. Thanks for your speedy answer, I really appreciate it. And that is exactly how I shared, I just thought that the changed images did not go to the camera roll. I will try again!
Thank you so much!

How do I download my Camera to the ipad and then to iphoto on my G5?

Lets say that I'm on vacation and the memory card on my camera is full.
How do I download my camera to the ipad2?
And then when I get home how do I transfer those same photos to iphoto on my G5 running Leopard?
Thanks!

Thanks,
And I just read this on the camera adaptor link in the apple store, which answers part 2 of my question.:
With the iPad Camera Connection Kit, it's incredibly easy to download photos and videos from your digital camera to your iPad so you can view them on the gorgeous iPad display and share them with family and friends.
The kit includes two connectors, each with a different interface:
The Camera Connector features a USB interface. Just plug it into the dock connector port on your iPad, then attach your digital camera or iPhone using a USB cable (not included). iPhone 3G is not supported.
Use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from your camera's SD card. Connect it to your iPad, then insert your digital camera's SD card into the slot.
After you make the connection, your iPad automatically opens the Photos app, which lets you choose which photos and videos to import, then organizes them into albums. When you sync iPad to your PC or Mac, the photos and videos on your iPad are added to your computer's photo library.
iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW, along with SD and HD video formats, including H.264 and MPEG-4.

Sending photos from the camera w the iPad

From my camera on my iPad, I select a picture and then want to forward it to someone via email. The email comes up but the picture is not there and I cannot type the email address. Any suggestions?

I don't know why that is happening but you can send photos from the mail app as well. If you tap and hold down in the body of the email area you will get a black options bar that has insert photo or video as an option.
To troubleshoot the photos app, try closing or completely, and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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.
