Duplicate imported photos on the iPad

Regarding duplicate imported photos on the iPad:   Is there an automated way to detect and delete duplicate photos, specifically imported from the camera connection kit.  Assume no iTunes syncing, mac or PC.  First party solution preferred, third party app welcome. 
Consider the senario, Camera card contents are imported, the card is reinserted into the camera without deleting previous import, new photos are taken, "skip duplicates" is ignored on new import, all photos on the card are imported, resulting in duplicates.
Happy to add additional information, just ask.

The iPad's file system is hidden and not accessible unless perhaps you have jailbroken the iPad.
Not jailbroken. The OP asked about photos that were imported, not sync'ed.

The import photo albums generated using the CCK are accessable just like the "Saved Photos" album.
As far as "clueing you in on how I do that", see my previous post.

    Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll?  I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR.  When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

    You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
    In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

  • What I do to pass the imported photos to the iPad (via the connection kit) for an HP notebook?

    what I do to pass the imported photos to the iPad (via the connection kit) for an HP notebook? I want to move pictures to the notebook because I'm afraid to upgrade to ios 6 and losing my photos

    You don't. The CCK doesn't support the export of photos at all. You can upload them to something like Flicker or dropbox adn then download them onto your computer.

  • How do I delete imported photos on the iPad in less then 2000 clics?

    Hi.
    I've been using the iPad to collect photos form my digital cameras.
    I have a few thousand of such photos on my iPad.
    Today I wanted to delete them (because they take a lot of memory and are synched anyway after correction).
    I could only find how to delete them by selecting them one by one on the iPad .
    On the Mac, I use Aperture, which has no option (AFAIK) for deleting imported photos.
    How stupid is that that you can import thousands of photos on the iPad and not delete them in under 1000 clics?
    I just found out that I still have iPhoto on my Mac, so I am going to import pictures from the iPad to iPhoto and use the option to delete them.
    Anyone with a less ridiculous solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jerome.

  • How can I duplicate a photo in the Ipad photo program?

    HOw can I duplicate photos in the original ipad photo program? I wanted to blow up a part of a picture, but also keep the original.

    The Photos App keeps the original with editing added as changes to the original. You can always revert back to the original.
    Other photo editing Apps may also provide the capability to save the modified version with the changes incorporated. For example, Photo Editor

  • I am unable to remove imported photos from the iPad.  The red delete button does not come up and synching did not help. Any ideas

    I am unable to delete photos that have been imported from a camera.  The red delete button does not appear and synching with the photos ticked and then unticked does not work either.  I have also tried attaching the iPad to the PC and looking for the photos using windows file management. However the only photos that I can find are those taken by the iPad itself. I am confused about why something that should be simple is not.

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • How do I delete imported photos from the iPad?

    I have accidentally downloaded pictures from laptop I don't want on the iPad. I can't seem to delete them. How is it done?
    Many thanks,
    Avicia

    You will have to sync again with iTunes to remove them. If you uncheck the box like in the picture below, it will remove all photos when you sync. Or keep that box checked and uncheck the boxes next to the photos, albums, folder that you want to remove from on the iPad.
    In the example below, if I uncheck the box next to Disney 2010 when I sync, those photos will be removed. You will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window as well to sync.

  • My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad.

    My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?

    Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
    You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.

  • Importing photos to my ipad via the camera connector kit  How do I do this

    I cannot import photos to my ipad via the camera connector kit The photo app does not say import anywhere  How do I do this

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HT4101 How do I import photos to my iPad from a Nikon s10.  When I try, I get the message not enough power

    How do I import photos to my iPad from a Nikon s10?

    Does the Nikon use a SD card? if so, have you tried to simply pull the photos from the card?
    If not, is your camera on when you try to transfer the files?
    There may also be some settings on the camera to tweak.

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Uncheck all of the albums that you want to remove under the Sync Photos From heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 and you can't see the sidebar go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.

    It never seems to synch fully with the laptop?

    Ivon, when you are satisfied that you have successfully imported the new folders to the iPad you can go back (as I have described above) and delete the originals of those you copied out in order to avoid 'duplication' and also save space.
    The method I have described also has advantages over creating new albums within the Photos app on the iPad since it 'duplicates' the photos and only permits the deletion of all so called copies. King_Penguin is correct when he states you can copy out photos originally taken with the iPad etc.

  • For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

    For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

    have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
    Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
    You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported.  If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
    See:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

  • HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again.  How could save them onto my iMac?

    I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1).  Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad,  iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
    WHOA.
    I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
    How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
    I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
    I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
    Many thanks!
