Copy pictures from my iMac to my ipad

How do I copy pictures from iphoto to my ipad.  I do NOT want to sync, only copy certain pictures from various events to my ipad. 

The sync method, by definition, means you replace all the pics, with all that you want.  Mentally, you are using your computer as the master, and just copying down what you want.  So if you really only want to just add specific pics, you cannot do that with the sync option. Although, once you get used to the routine, it is virtually the same.  Assuming you want to add 1 picture, and assuming you have the photo section set up as you left it last time, you simply x the additional picture and push sync.  It recopies everything that was there, plus the new picture.
But I can understand if you want to add and remove certain pics on the fly that you need a different solution.  And Dropbox works great.
There are other options that might not fit into your free approach, but when you get a buck or two left over, take a look at photosync.  I use that all the time to send picts to and from the pad, phone and desktop.  Buy the app once and you can install it on any I devices.  There is a desktop app as well, I think it is free, but not real sure, as it has been a year since I got it.   And if you are using a brand x phone, there is a version for android.  And they all talk to each other.      Not free, but a worthwhile couple of bucks if you really want an easy way to flip pictures around.  ( there are other similar apps, this just happens to be the one I am familiar with)

  • Why is it so hard to copy pictures from my iPhone to my iPad?

    I want to use iCloud to backup both my iPhone and iPad, but not any of the pictures on these devices.  I want to backup the pictures to my iMac, since they take up so much space.  What is the best way to do this?  What is the correct way to copy pictures from my iPhone to the iPad without using any 3rd party apps?  I figured out how to import pictures from my iPhone into iPhoto.  I unplugged my iPhone and plugged in my iPad.  Then I tried dragging and dropping the pictures, within the iPhoto application, onto the iPad.  This doesn't work.  Then I tried dragging and dropping them onto the iPad in iTunes.  This also doesn't work because I get a message telling me that my iPad can't play jpegs.  I eventually figured out I had to open my ipad in itunes and change my backup settings from icloud to "this computer".  Then I click on the photos tab at the top and find my album and sync it.  But when I sync it is also syncing everything else to the computer as well, which is something I wanted to handle with the icloud.  It seems like it is intentionally difficult to succeed in the way I want to, just so I am forced to buy extra storage space on icloud.  This is very frustrating.  Any help is much appreciated.

    I can't see why it has too many steps? I transferred all my camera roll to my PC (yep, not a Mac) when I needed to do a restore. Then told iTunes to sync that folder, and wow, they're back on my iPhone! I'll get to the point where I'll will put them into their own folders according to the event, and syncing will magically sort them out on my iPhone too. If I later want to add more photos to that event, I just drag and drop into that folder. iTunes will pretty much sync my iPhone everytime it's connected anyway, so it's no effort at all.
    With the amount of hard drive storage space available to pretty much every PC/Mac these days, it's not really an issue having a backup of wallpapers, is it? Will it honestly affect the space you'll have available for everything else?

  • How do I export pictures from my IMac to my iPad.  I have only certain albums I want to export and not all my albums?

    How do I export pictures from my IMac to my iPad.  I have only certain albums I want to export and not all my albums?

    You can select only the albums that you want to sync in the photos tab of iTunes when you sync your iPad. If you are using iPhoto it is very easy. Simply select iPhoto in the Sync Photos From heading and then select the albums that you want to sync.
    If you are using iTunes 11 - enable the side bar by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes Menu. This explains how to sync photos.

    If they were taken with the iPad, simply plug in the iPad, and it should appear as a regular digital camera in Windows Explorer or in Control Panel/Devices and Printers.
    You can then either use the Scanner and Camera Wizard, or simply open the DCIM folder and drag the pictures to which ever folder you want them in,

  • HT1430 I would like to share and email pictures from my album in my ipad but I don't see the logo of email. I can only choose FB, print and copy. What happen to my email logo?

    i would like to email pictures from my photo album in ipad but the logo of email is not there to send. I can only choose FB, copy and print. what happen to my email logo?

    I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

  • Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

    Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
    They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
    You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
    For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

    I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.

  • Copying iPhotos from my iMac to my Nook Color

    How do I copy iPhotos from my iMac to my Nook Color?

    File -> Export. Select the format that the Nook supports - probably Jpeg - and complete the export to the desktop. Then you'll need to consult the Nook manual for how to get it on there.
    Right click or control click on the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, Finder > duplicate it and move OriginalsCopy out
    1. This won't get any edited versions, only exporting will
    2. The folders are renamed in iPhoto 11.

  • How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    Are they in an iPhoto Library? If so:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
