Copy iPad photo albums to Mac

Is there any way to sync the photo albums I create on my iPad to my mac. Photo only seems to sync the photos but not my own albums. Any idea?
My dad has taken a heap of photos and put them in albums yet I can't copy those albums to the Mac so I can burn them on a DVD for him to give to a friend.
pain in the neck to copy the photos across and build new albums especially when it is already all there
thank

Good morning
The programming is set-up with the logic that the albums on your iPad were transferred in from iTunes, so their isn't a way to move them to your computer through iTunes.
There are a number of 3rd party apps that do this, I have never used them myself but here is one that Google gave me for your problem

How to transfer iPad photo album to mac

I had my old imac photo albums sync. to my ipad. Right now, my imac is crashed. Has it any solution to trasnfer those ipad photo albums to another mac?

You can not transfer albums - you can only transfer the photos to the Mac and then use them there
You either use PhotoStream, an iTunes sync or connect the IOS device with a cable and import to iPhoto on the Mac

Transferring ipad photo albums to mac pro

Hi,
I have over 3000 pictures which are saved in individual albums on my ipad. I would like to transfer these albums to my mac pro. However it is only wanting to transfer the full 3000 pictures and not in their albums. It will then require me to meticulously put these pictures into albums on my mac. Is there any way of transferring the albums to my mac?
Thanks

IPad Photo Album interface

Did the iPad Photo Album interface (where there is a black background and you can pinch to expand albums) come from the Mac OS? I think I've been seeing that interface before the iPad came out but I cannot do it on my MacBook Pro. Can you help me clear this?

That system belongs to the iPad etc.. It was advertised extensively so that may be what you are thinking of.
You can change iPhoto on your Mac to a black background in iPhoto preferences > Appearance and can make other changes from the menubar View option.
Best..

How do I sync/copy a photo album from iPad2 to Mac?

Hi,
Sorry if this was asked before but, how can I transfer a photo album from my iPad2 to a Mac computer using Lion? Somehow iPhoto on my Mac can't find my photo album on the iPad. Album doesn't show up in iTunes either.
Thanks in advance for helping!

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.

How do I maintain adobe photoshop albums when importing into ipad photo albums

How do I maintain the adobe photoshop albums when importing them into the ipad photo library?

Do these albums on the iPad have the cloud icon next to them? If they do, they are albums that you have previously purchased from iTunes. You can remove them from the Music app by going to Settings>iTunes &App Store>Show All>Music>Off.

Copy iphone photo albums to Imac = Iphoto

I have made the mistake to erase all my photo albums from my Imac (I photo). I do still have most albums on my Iphone 3G. Hoiw cvan I move them to Iphoto on the Mac???

You'll need third-party software to do so. The photo sync is one way: Computer to phone. Bear in mind, the resolution of photos synced to your phone was reduced for display on your phone. There is no way to recover their full resolution.

Transfer desktop video files to iPad photo album without iTunes?

Hello,
I'm looking for a very easy to transfer video files from a desktop PC to the iPad's photo album.
We can't use iTunes sync because the iPad is synced with a home computer (we're in an office environment). Need the video file in the photo album so that it can be imported into Keynote.
Currently we email the video file to ourselves, open the email on the iPad, and save the video into the Camera Roll. A bit cumbersome of a method and can't be used for large video files that our email server won't handle (20 MB +).
Any suggestions? If a special app, would prefer if it was free .
Thank you!

Having Difficulty in downloading photo albums from MAC PC to Ipad

I am having difficulty in downloading phot albums/pictures from MAC PC to I-Pad. Plugged in the I-PAd went through I Tunes, created album hit sync etc, and it is not working, any suggestions would be helpful.

The options your configuring in iTunes are to sync the photos back to the iOS device after you import the photos using iPhoto. iTunes does not import photos. Launch iPhoto and connect your iPad to your Mac. iPhoto will determine what photos need to be imported and then click Import in the top right corner of the iPhoto window. Hope that helps

Ipad photo album transfer

I have an "album" of 82 photos in my iPad 1 that I need to burn to a CD to send to a client. All photos from my iPad are also in my iPhoto library on my IMAC but this specific album is not designated as such in iPhoto, it is just part of the huge picture download from my ipad. Is there a way to just import and save a specific album from the ipad? Please advise.

Albums created on the iPad are for use only on the device - TTBOMK - they will not transfer back to the Mac that way. The new album feature on the iPad is just a way to reorganize photos on the device itself.

Transferring photo album between Macs

I've created a photo book on my husbands mac (iMac G5), and wish to move it to mine (G4 Powerbook) in order to finish working on it. I currently have the correct album, but can't figure out how to transfer the actual book file to my mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Design&Conquer,
There is no way easy way to transfer a book between Macs. The reason is because the book info is in a data file, there is no hard copy of it in the Finder. You can copy your entire iPhoto Library folder to your PB and open it on the PB and finish working on your book there. You can also follow the next suggestion from Old Toad on backing up the book, which will give you a library with just the images from the book and the data files, which you can then copy over to your PB and work on it there.
You would use the Option launch to navigate to the book library and open it. You also might have to change the permissions of the iPhoto Library folder to you. Instructions for both will follow after Old Toads info:
Backing up an iPhoto book
This is a method that was suggested by Old Toad, our iPhoto forums guru:
Close iPhoto
-If you have enough room on your hard drive duplicate the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder by highlighting it and hitting Command D.
-Launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you see the message window. Choose to open another library and navigate to the duplicate library and highlight it and click "open"
-Now delete all photos that are not in your book or that you are not planning to use in your book. Empty iPhoto's trash often so as to to have iPhoto choke on too many images to delete.
-Once you have just the photos you want to use in the book and everything is running fine, close that library.
-Each time before you open the book library you might want to duplicate that library in the Finder to have a safe copy to use if the book library crashes on you and you lose the work on your book.
In the future, you can File>export all the photos you want to use in the next book to a folder on the desktop.
Create a new book library by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and choosing to create a new library. Name the library after the book you are going to make.
Follow the same procedure above to make duplicate copies of the book library before you do any major work on the book.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.
Get info on the iPhoto Library folder

Can't delete SOME photos from my iPad Photo Album

Hello there,
I need a bit of help. I'm using an iPad 2 OS 6.0.1.
There's a few photos that I'm not able to delete from my Photos folder.
I click on the Photos App
Then click on Edit
I then get the option to put check marks on the photos. At that point I can click on the Delete button and delete SOME of them, but not all.
It's strage because some of the ones I can't delete, just seem to be duplicates of some of the ones I CAN delete.
In the past, I was syncing my iPad to my computer. Since moving to the iCloud, I've stopped plugging my iPad into any computer. I've read some message boards that say that this is because those photos were added by syncing to the laptop and that in order to remove them, you have to re-sync to the laptop.
One BIG issue is, that laptop is now not functioning. Assuming these photos were added through that laptop, is there a way to remove them without syncing to that laptop? Also, why would there be some duplicates. Would it have been an error in the sync process that created the dups?
I'm thinking MAYBE the answer is going to be to sync the iPad to my NEW laptop. If that's the answer, is that safe to do without risk of losing stuff? (music, movies, apps, app data, settings)
Thanks,
Bill

Photos in my iPad photo albums don't match photos in iPhoto

There were photos in my iPad and iPhone albuns that were not in those albums in iPhoto (and vice versa).
After lots of futile attempts to fix the issue (including rebuilding the photo librarary on my iMac,) I finally figured out how to do this . . .
NOTE: This worked perfecty for me. I hope it does for you.
You've got to remove your "iPod Photo cache." (Don't worry; a new one will be created next time you sync.
To do this . . .
1) Open Finder
2) Click on your User Name
3) Hold down the Option key while you click on "Pictures"
4) Find the folder named "iPod Photo Cache"
5) Move it to the Trash
6) Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone/iPod Touch) to iTunes
7) UNcheck sync "Photos" for all devices
8) Sync device(s)
9) Check "Sync Photos" for the device(s), indicating which albums you want to syb\nc from your iPhoto library TO those devices.
10) Sync your device(s)
The albums on your device(s) should now be in total synchronicity with the albums in iPhoto.
Good luck!

The only thing I can think of beyond what I originally posted is that you try rebuilding your iPhoto library by holding down the Command AND Option keys as you open iPhoto. When you see the dialog box, check all the boxes and continue.
The process may take a while, depending on how many photos you have in your library. (Example: 3,000 photos could take an hour or a little more).
Then . . . follow steps 6-10 from my original post.
Here they are again without the embarrassing typo . . .
6) Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone/iPod Touch) to iTunes
7) UNcheck sync "Photos" for all devices
8) Sync device(s)
9) Check "Sync Photos" for the device(s), indicating which albums you want to sync from your iPhoto library TO those devices.
10) Sync your device(s)
Hope you have luck!

How to export iPad photo album into iPhoto.

I had my Windows laptop and iPad 2 stolen in a house break-in . The laptop had my iTunes library and photos. I have an 1st gen iPad with several albums on it that are not part of the camera roll or photo stream. I want to export these to my beautiful new MacBook Air but when I connect the iPad to the Macbook it doesn't appear anywhere even in iPhoto or remote devices.
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
TIA
Jo

Hi Tom,
thanks for the tip - i did as you suggested and yes my old ipad showed up but only the pics that were taken on the ipad it self showed up for import.
The albums I am trying to retrive were put from my old laptop onto my ipads through iTunes. As my library was on the laptop that was stolen I suspect that this is the root of the problem.
