Dragging photos onto iPad

Following intructions in a booklet entitled 'An introduction to the iPad mini' I tried to drag a folder of photos onto the iPad through the devices area of iTunes. iTunes did not reject the idea, but just said that (all) the photos had been rejected because the file type was not supported on the iPad. File types were JPG and TIFF. I am amazed if JPGs are not supported. Any comments?

You can sync photos via your computer's iTunes via the iPad device's Photos tab.
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), 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 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.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • Home Share photos onto iPad?

    I have an apple tv that is capable of home sharing my photos from iphoto on my macbook pro, why can't i do the same thing on my ipad?
    I'm able to home share my music onto my apple tv. I'm able to home share my photos onto my apple tv.
    I'm able to home share my music onto my ipad. Why can't i home share my photos onto my ipad?
    I DO NOT WANT TO SYNC MY PHOTOS TO MY iPAD OR USE PHOTO STREAM. I HAVE A 16GB iPAD AND ABOUT 46GB'S WORTH OF PHOTOS/VIDEOS IN IPHOTO SO HOME SHARING IS THE BEST AND ONLY CHOICE.

    The videos don't share because they are just too big. Most videos are dozens to hundreds of megs and don't transfer well, so they don't transfer at all.
    You'd have to maually do it, either via the syncing computer or using a service like Dropbox, where you upload then download them. (personally I'd stick to local, uploading and downloading hundreds of megs will take time)

  • Unable to drag photos onto folder in desktop

    just recently i have been trying to drag photos from iphoto onto a folder in my desktop and am unable to. it will show the circle with the white line prohibiting this move. i attempted to look for permissions, etc. but can't. please help.

    Thanks for the response but this does not solve the problem. Regardless of the collection selected I still get the full circle with a line through the center.  When grabbing the photo the thumbnail appears but as soon as I drag the photo into the collections panel the thumbnail disappears and the full circle with the line appears.

  • Trouble syncing photos onto iPad and need help

    I recently purchased an iPad for a family member for Christmas and it had been working fine until last night. When they attempted to add another photo album to the already existing ones on the iPad, itunes ended the sync, when it says "syncing photos," saying "the required file could not be found" and took of all of the photos that were on the iPad. The photos are stored in the main 'Pictures' gallery in folders where it normally syncs fine; however we do not know how to fix this or get the photos back on. There is plenty of room left on the iPad to store the photos, we have updated the iPad and itunes, and it always works when we sync our iPods.
    Any help would be much appreciated; thank-you!

    Hey AlanaRama:
    It could be that one of the photos that you are trying to sync is corrupted (or something).
    Try dividing the photos in half and try to sync each half to see if that helps to find the problem photo.
    This may help also:

  • HT4101 Exclamation point in red when I try to import photos onto iPad from SD card

    I get an exclamation point in a red circle when I try to import photos from my SD card using the CAmera Connector accessory. I have successfully used this method for over a year, but all of a sudden, I'm unable to import. I have installed iOS 6. Please help!

    Hi mpt95,
    I have the same problem with met 3rd gen iPad.
    I tested with 2 camera's and 2 different sd-card. Here are the results:
    Canon Ixus: SDHD class 4: Connection oke, Import just fine
    Canon Ixus: SDHD class 10: Connection oke, Import just fine
    Nikon D3500: : SDHD class 4: Connection oke, no import! Get the red Exclamation point
    Nikon D3500: : SDHD class 10: Connection oke, no import! Get the red Exclamation point
    Problem is not related to the SDcards, but the combination with the Nokon D3200.
    Read on the net that pictures should be in the DCIM folder, and should bet no longer then 8 Characters.
    I checkeg this, and it was correct. The red exclamation mark is a mystery and I cannot find the solution on the net. So far.
    What camera are you using?

  • Containing Folder Opens When Dragging Photos?

    When I drag photos onto my desktop or into iMessage, a folder will open showing the contents of the folder the said photo is in. (Does that make sense?) Anyways, it's never done this before, and it's getting really annoying. Especially when I have to use multiple photos.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how to turn it off? Thanks in advanced.
    -Angelique

    We may have a terminology issue here
    The window on the left the the source pane - the source pane contains folder if they exist and albums and keepsakes (especial kinds of albums)
    Photos go into albums - albums may then be placed in folders - the photos for keepsakes are in albums - not in folders
    To add photos to a keepsake albums drag them from an event in the library on the right to the keepsake album on the left

  • Suddenly I cannot get photos from iPad onto my Mac.

    From the beginning, I simply connected the iPad2 to my Mac with the USB, and all photos were uploaded onto my Mac. I've followed all the directions to get updates for both Mac and iPad2. Now none of my new photos upload onto the Mac. Can you help?

    I'm not sure how you were importing the photos on your Mac but the two ways that I know of are with iPhoto and Image Capture.
    Open iPhoto and go to Preferences>General>Connecting Camera Opens - and you can select iPhoto or Image Capture.
    Connect your iPad to your Mac and Open Image Capture. Click on devices and then at the bottom of the left side you can select - Connecting this iPad Opens - and choose the app of your choice from there. These are copied and pasted from Help in the two applications.
    When you connect the iPad now, one of the chosen applications will open and let you import the images.
    To import photos from iPad:
    Connect your iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB cable that came with your iPad.If iPhoto wasn’t already open, it opens for you (unless you changed this preference in iPhoto or your iPad is locked).After your iPad is connected and turned on, iPhoto opens in import view and your iPad appears in the Source list.
    By default, iPhoto divides photos into separate Events during the import process.You can optionally enter a description in the Event Name field.If you don’t want iPhoto to automatically create events, deselect the Split Events checkbox at the bottom of the window.If you want to change the time frame used to sort your photos into Events, you can change it in iPhoto preferences.
    If you don’t want to see photos that you’ve already imported into iPhoto, select the Hide Photos Already Imported checkbox at the bottom of the window.
    Do one of the following:
    To import all the photos shown in the iPhoto window, click Import All.
    To import a selection of photos, press the Command key while clicking photo thumbnails, or drag to select a group of photos, and then click Import Selected.
    To cancel photo transfer at any time during your import, click Stop Import. Then, in the dialog that appears, choose to continue importing the photos, keep the photos that have been imported and stop importing the remaining photos, or delete the photos that have been imported.
    After the import process is finished, drag the device icon to the iPhoto Trash, and then disconnect your iPad from your computer by unplugging the Dock Connector to USB cable.Important:  Before you disconnect your iPad, wait until all photos have been imported into iPhoto (or until you click Stop Import).
    This is from Image Capture. I'm assuming you used Image Capture.
    Transferring items automatically
    You can automatically transfer items from your camera to your computer whenever you connect the camera to your computer.
    To transfer items whenever you connect your camera:
    Connect your camera to your computer, and turn the camera on.
    Select the camera in the Devices list at the left of the Image Capture window.
    From the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu, choose AutoImporter.If you don’t see that pop-up menu, click the “Show device settings” button in the lower-left corner.
    The next time you connect your camera, Image Capture transfers images from the camera to the AutoImporter folder in your Pictures folder (in your home folder).

    Welcome to Apple Communities.
    You need to migrate some files to your Mac using Windows Migration Assistant. Migrate your Music folder and the folder with the photos. Then, in your Mac, you will have iTunes as you have in your old computer. After that, open iPhoto and drag the photos to it. Finally, connect your iPad to your Mac and sync it

  • Photos loaded directly onto ipad air do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    Photos loaded directly onto ipad air using Apple camera connection kit, do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    They won't show in iTunes (iTunes is only used to copy photos to a device, not copy them off), but you should be able to copy them off either manually via My Computer (the iPad should show as a camera) or via windows camera wizard or windows live photo gallery depending upon your OS version.

  • I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad.  I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work?  Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running  10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad.  I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work?  Any suggestions?

    For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
    You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
    If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams  (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library.  And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay.  Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

  • I cannot load more photos onto my iPad as I'm being told there is not enough storage. I have bought an extra 20 GB storage plan from iCloud so how can I now load more photos onto my iPad. Surely there is enough space!  Do I need to delete previous photos?

    I cannot load more photos onto my iPad even though I have bought an extra 20 GB storage plan from iCloud. As I am on holidays and taking loads of photos I thought  a good plan was to load them onto my iPad and then regularly back them up to iCloud. If I do this, do I then delete those photos from the iPad that I have backed up to iCloud and if I delete them from the iPad are they gone forever or can I somehow get them back from iCloud? I'm only new at all of this so I hope someone can assist me. I'd hate to lose all of my photos(I know they are still on my memory stick) but I would like to have them safe and secure and able to retrieved whenever I wish.

    You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
    Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

    Sounds like you synced the photos instead of importing the photos.
    In iTunes with your device plugged in, go to the photos tab and uncheck the photos that were synced over, then sync again. This should take the photos from your coputer off the devices leaving just the camera roll.
    If you have a Windows computer, go to mycomputer and right click on your device and select import pictures and video. If its a Mac computer, plug in your device and go to iphoto and select import all.

  • How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created a desktop file for photos and SD card in Finder, dragged photos to card, but when I try to view them in the camera, it says "No valid photo to display"

    How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.

    No one can help you any more than has been done
    Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
    And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is
