Can I transfer photos from a pc to an SD card and then move the photos to iPad Air 2 via lightning reader

I would like to transfer photos from a PC to an iPad Air 2.  I would like to avoid iTunes if possible. I have been told that if I put my photos on an SD card i can use a "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" to read the photos on my iPad and then copy them to the iPad.  When I try this the iPad 2 brings up my photo app but does not show any of the photos on the SD card.  Am I doing something wrong or is this not a working solution to the transfer of photos?

You have to trick the iPad into thinking those photos are off a camera
Make a folder named DCIM on the SD card.
Put your photos into that folder.
All photos must have a file name of 8 characters....DSC_2345.jpg for example
You're basically mimicking the file structure a digital camera uses.

  • My mac air does not have enough memory to hold all the music I want. Can I delete songs from my library before downloading new ones and still have the old songs there when I sync my iPod?

    I have a macbook air with 60GB memory. For work, I have used up all the memory and constantly use the files, so transfering them to a different location is not a possibilty now. I have about 5GB of music on it, but would like to transfer more on my iPod classic. I would like to know wether there is a possibility for me to delete old music, get new music into its place and then sync the iPod without losing the old music from it.
    Hope I was clear enough.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • "You can not use this product at this time. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the product..."

    Hello,
      I am a U.S. citizen who works over the internet at home for a man in the U.K. My boss in the U.K. ordered CS3 from the U.K. and shipped it to the U.S.
    For almost a year, I was able to use the CS3 products until all the sudden, I get an error message that says, "You cannot use this product at this time. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the product or contact Adobe for technical support." Every time I try and talk to a customer service representative from Adobe, I am either put on hold for about 30 minutes, am asked to contact the offices in the U.K since the product was purchased in the U.K. or am told I can't get any support because I don't have an order number or a serial number or whatever these people are asking for. I do not have that kind of money to be making long distance phone calls to the U.K. only to receive no technical support at all. My job is very important and if my boss paid over $1,000 for the product then either he or I should get the support we need before I end up loosing my job over it. I was once promised a very new clean CS3 CD along with a new serial key for all the trouble I went through with technical support and never received it in the mail. I can give you my boss' contact info, but I refuse to quit until I get the support I am looking for. My boss' number is
    [personal contact info deleted by forum host]
      and he might be able to supply the order number.
                                                   Sincerely,

  • Can't transfer files from PC to BB 8800 microSD card

    I have a BBerry 8800.  As part of trying to resolve the problem described below, I have recently upgraded the OS to v4.5.0.81 (Platform 2.7.0.78)  (Rogers network version).
    I recently purchased a 2GB microSD card for this Blackberry.  The BB seems to recognize the card (when I go to Options/Media Card it shows 1.8GB total space and 1.8GB free space).  As per other posts here, I have set the other options in this area to:
    Media Card Support = ON
    Encryption Mode = None
    Mass Storage Mode Support = ON
    Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected = YES
    However, I cannot seem to transfer files from my PC.
    The BB does not appear as a "device with removeable storage" in Windows Explorer.  Nor does it seem to appear in the Roxio Media Manager - in the devices area it only shows BB internal memory.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is a bit more info that I have been able to confirm.  Perhaps this will help someone identify a solution to my problems:
    1.  I was able to get my home PC (Windows Vista) to see the Blackberry as a removeable storage device.  This is with:
    Mass Storage Mode Support = ON (and the latest USB drivers)
    and I was then able to transfer files to the BB as needed.
    2.  However, my work PC (XP Professional) still cannot see the BB (either through Win Explorer OR through Media Manager).  However, if I set Mass Storage Mode Support = OFF, then Media Manager sees the Media Card and I can transfer files via this mechanism.
    Any further thoughts on what might be going on?

  • Can I transfer data from one iphone to another (but later rather than at the same time)

    I currently have an Iphone 4 that was provided through my company but I am changing employment next month (as well as country) and was hoping to store all my current iphone software and data (hopefully on my computer) and then purchase a new Iphone 4 in which to update with said data.
    If anyone can offer insight in how to accomplish this I would be grateful!

    if the iphone have not been synced with another computer then just sync it with yours
    if it have then you cant syncing it with your computer would then clear the iphone and adding the info from your itunes to it

  • Can I use my lrdata smart previews file on another Mac and then take the edits back to the original?

    LR5 CC user. I have tried to use Smart Previews for the first time. I followed what seemed the best advice but now not sure since most of the guides feature working with a single computer and offline files. I am away travelling for over a month. I have a Mac Pro with many thousands of images. I exported my 5000 "best" as smart previews in a lrdata file to use with my macbook pro laptop while travelling. i took the lrdata file with me on a hard drive. Not the catalog file. Now it seems I can import these files (by double clicking on the lrdata file) but I am concerned that if I edit them the editing will be lost when I go back to the original. They have different file names. Have I basically lost the chance to do any editing? Or is there a way to edit and then send them back to the original catalog?

    One should not import & edit smart preview files (the lossy dngs with names like 7/7FB5/7FB580F4-00BB-4C39-8DE5-C09490BA6CB8.dng), instead of the photos they "represent".
    But if you do, here's how to transfer settings and/or metadata from imported/edited smart preview files back to the original photos which you should've edited in the first place:
    o Note: you have to import the directly-edited smart previews into your main catalog when you get home (import from travel catalog, or save xmp first and just import files - either way works).
    * Download and install RelativeAntics plugin (free by me).
    * Choose 'Imported Smart Previews' preset (in plugin manager).
    * Select the imported smart preview files.
    * Run 'Relative Antics' (File menu -> Plugin Extras).
    * Deselect all items in 'Define "Related" section, *except* 'Custom Relative'.
    * choose whether to transfer develop setting and/or metadata..
    * and do it - this will copy settings and metadata from the selected imported/edited-smart-preview to the photo which should have been edited in the first place (the "related" photo).

  • Can I perform all my layout in InDesign on a PC and then move to a MAC version for publishing?

    I have access to a MAC to do it, can I complete everything on a PC first? any pitfalls?
    Mike

    I was just looking for answer to the same question. I`m Windows user but I`m planning to publish magazine using inDesign. According to this very informative page https://creative.adobe.com/dpsse
    I found that I will need to invest in both any Mac PC and iPad. My questions are: can I add interactivity on PC and then transfer to Mac? as iPhone user, I can try to test on iPhone prior to purchase iPad, but then I would have to build for iPhone, instead of iPad, is it correct?

  • Contacts * Can I duplicate a card and then edit the info?

    I have a client group to add to contacts; about a couple dozen people. There's many fields, sure, but in almost every case only the name, title, and email address change. It's a pain to have to do a new card every time and re-enter the information -- is there a way to duplicate the card and just edit the couple of items that need to be changed? I don't see any way to do this.

    Sorry - I left something out. Check the "Company" box (step 2 below). Simple. Who would have thought?
    1. Input the info that you will use in multiple cards 2. select "Company" box under the address. This gives priority to the company name rather than the individual. 3. Copy;Paste. You should now have a duplicate! 5. Edit the detail. 6. Copy; Paste. 7. Etc.
    If it doesn't work its probably because you forgot to check the Company box.

  • Can I upgrade from Lightroom 3 to  5 and then move a catalogue into it from Elements 10?

    I currently have Lightroom 3, Elements 10, and just bought CS6.
    Is it possible / advisable to upgrade to Lightroom 5 and then move the catalogue from Elements into Lightroom? it would consolidate photos in one catalogue, at a minimum...
    any help appreciated.

    Yes it can be done and is advisable!! Upgrade your Lr3 catalog in Lr5. I would then creat a new catalog in Lr5 and import the Elements one, then Open your original Lr5 catalog and import the one with the elements images. Just to keep the importing from elements separate.

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.
