Get Photos off supervised iPad

Hi All,
I have about 60 iPads that have all been setup with Apple Configurator.
Although the configurator provides us with some good options one big issue I'm having is that it seems to block devices from downloading photos onto any machine that wasn't the one configurator was setup on.
You just get recieve an error message stating the iOS Device is supervised by another machine.
Has anyone else experiences this problem? Anyone got a work around?
Thanks,
Josh

I had a conversation with a Senior Advisor on Apple Support Live Chat today. The short answer is: it's not possible via USB.
TRANSCRIPT EXTRACT:
Me: I was just wondering if there is a way to copy photos and videos from an iPad which is supervised to a computer (not the computer that supervises the device) via a USB cable?
Me: I have done lots of Googling and searching of the Community Forums, but I have not been able to find an official apple response.
Me: If you look at this link, you can see lots of people on the Community Forums have the same problem [link to Community search results for "supervised ipad photos"].
Apple Senior Advisor: Ahh, wow, this can be a difficult one. Essentially, iOS devices setup with a profile using Apple Configurator can only be used completely with the computer they were setup with. For importing photos, syncing, and other concerns this can make using them physically with a computer difficult.
Me: I realise that a supervised iPad cannot synchronise with another computer, but I cannot find if it is possible to just copy photos and videos.
Me: Is there a way to copy photos from a supervised iPad?
Apple Senior Advisor: It will not interface with any other computer by USB, except the one it was configured on originally. This includes importing Photos and Videos.
Apple Senior Advisor: The Profile used on it would have to be removed for full access through USB, with other computers.

Get photos off an iPad without a PC

Hello all
Firstly, sorry if this has already been talked about on the forums
I did search for an answer to my question but to no avail
If there are threads already discussing this, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
My question -
How the heck do you get photos OFF an iPad (mine is iPad 2) without a computer?
Mac/PC doesn't matter, irrelevant to the question
The reason I ask is because I'm a photographer and I'd like to use my iPad out in the field
I've found it to be a super-cool device to show clients portfolio work
But I'd also like to start using it to do basic post-work and editing on-the-job
For the editing part, there are heaps of apps in the app store that are just great
But once I'm done, I'd love to be able to give a digital copy of the photos to the client before I leave
Any ideas?
I'm very happy with the iPad as a professional tool for this industry
And even if what I'm asking can't be done, I'll still keep using it
Just wondering if there's any ideas I haven't come across yet
Many thanks!

yes, soon after I posted, I went into the photo gallery to have a play
found that if you click the share button you can select multiple and email them, indeed to yourself
or in my case, to the client
here's my thinking...
for jobs where a really special emotional response is needed, i'm better off going home and packaging a dvd and posting to the client, such is the case for weddings etc
for time-critical jobs, like insurance and particularly real estate, emailing to the client would be perfect
one question though - when emailing, are the photos sent at their original quality?

How to get photos off an iPad 2 that are not from the camera roll?

I have photos from previous iPhones and digital cameras on my iPad 2. I do not have the original laptop I used to put them on the iPad. How can I transfer them from this iPad to a different laptop? I do not want to lose them.

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them to a computer 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 to get photos off iPad 1st gen

Anyone know a way I can get photos off an iPad 1st Gen? It is not recognized by iPhoto 9 that is currently running on Mavericks.
This should have been synced a long time ago but my wife never did and now has photos on it that she wants.... I know, I know....
Tried:
- Using Image Capture - does not see it
- When I launch iPhoto, it says "Loading" and never does anything.
- iTunes does see it but that doesn't help to get photos off of it.
- Saw a program that let's you transfer files off but it cost $30 and thought there might be a way to do ift for free.
Thanks, Jeff

The iOS version has nothing to do with importing photos.
Where are the photos located? iPhoto will only get photos that were saved to the iPad like saved from an email attachment. Those are in the Saved photos album
If the photos are in another album they were synced to the iPad. To get those you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy

2) Open “My Computer”
3) Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
4) Open iPhone to find your Photos
5) Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/ paste them into the desired location on your PC.

Can't get photos off ipad to pc

When I connect my ipad to pc,I can't get the photos from the ipad to the pc. I have over 500 on there and no backup.
My photostream is working over icloud but I only have about 100 photos on that. I understand pre-icloud photos won't sync to cloud. But I can't get my other 400 photos off the ipad. I had transferred them somehow from an old pc to the ipad but that pc is fried so the only copies I have of the photos are on my ipad.
I open itunes and then my ipad but that shows 0 photos.
I open my ipad from my PC under "my computer" and go to the dcim folder. There is only some weird folder there, 860OKMZO, with 4 random pics from my photo stream
There is no way I can get to my pics. Not even my photo stream from my pc

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you can use third-party apps such as Simple 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 e.g. their file size and dimensions may be different, colours might look different etc

How do I get photos OFF the mini iPad?

How do I get my photos OFF my iPad mini so I can print them?...please

The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
From now on, all future photos taken by the iPad will automatically upload to the Dropbox folder. You can then download your photos from Dropbox to your computer by going to http://www.dropbox.com, logging in to your account, and downloading the photos. You can then put the photos on a USB drive or burn to a CD or upload them to a photo processing website.
Hope this helps!

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

You can use the camera connection kit.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD822ZM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?f node=3a
If your camera has an SD card
or the lightening to USB for your videos
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
(might also work for your camera)
The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

How to take photos off my ipad mini

How to I take photos off my ipad mini if I don't have iPhoto or any other photo sharing sight? I would like to take them and put the photos onto a cd

You need to get the photos synced to a computer to archive/protect them. Once there, do whatever can be done by the computer (you haven't indicated what brand computer or even if you have one) and burn to CD.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

HT4101 How do I get pictures off my ipad

How do I get pictures off of my ipad?

The easiest and most universal woudl be to look into an app like Dropbox, or there are photo transfer apps, I just don't use them so I'm not familiar. The apps would enable you to upload the photos off your iPad to storage on the internet, then you can download them to any computer.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

Getting photos from my ipad back to my Mac that are NOT in camera roll.

Our hard drive failed and my back up files were corrupt so I lost my entire digital life including my iphotos. I had set up my ipad to sync several folders from iphoto to my ipad when I did an itunes sync. All of these photos and folders are currently viewable on my ipad. When I plug the ipad in to sync, i can only transfer the photos that are currently in the camera roll (355 photos) There are 5000 photos on the ipad via the folders I previously synced.
How do I get these photo back to my mac? Is it even possible?
Image caputer doesn't work because it only looks at the photos in the camera roll (ie taken by the ipad).
To sum up: Basically starting with a new mac and trying to get photos from the ipad back on the mac.
Thank You!

If you have iPhoto on your iPad, you can save the photos back to the camera roll: you can select complete albums or events at once to do that.
Save photos to the Camera Roll on your iOS device
Tap a photo, album, or event and tap > Camera Roll.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save:
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap up to 100 photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Tap Done.
To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
For other sharing options from iPhoto see: Ways to share photos
But a third-party app, like Terence Devlin suggested wll probably quicker and safer, since you have 5000 photos to transfer.
my back up files were corrupt
Have you tried data recovery software on your backup drive? Software like
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
might still be able to restore jpeg files at least.
