How can I export photos from iPad Air to PC?

I purchased the iPad especially for a 3 month holiday to Europe rather than carry about a heavier and more valuable laptop PC. I used the iPad to store my 25000 plus photos (taken on a Nikon camera and imported via an SD card reader) from the holiday (in fact ran out of storage on the iPad). I paid for iCloud storage space to add security against loosing my photos through damage or theft of the iPad. This too maxed out early when at 55Gb I learned that I could not get any more iCloud storage. So that back-up method was inadequate. Now I've arrived home with half of my photos backed up on the iCloud, which I am yet to be able to see on the iCloud and the bulk of my photos are on the iPad, which I can see yet can't work out a way of exporting them. All in all I'm feeling like I made a serious mistake getting an Apple product.These are my photos and I just want to copy them across to my PC yet they seem to be imprisoned within the Apple world. I'd appreciate advice as to how to retrieve my photos back to a more user friendly place.
Thanks, Greg.

FYI - If you go on another trip.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

    How can I export photos from iphoto to my ipad?

    Like putting every thing else on to your iPad, this is done via iTunes.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

  • How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • How can I transfer photos from ipad 1 to pc

    I have an ipad 1 - ios 5.1.1
    I want to transfer the photos on the ipad to a windows 8 pc.
    Should be a really simple operation - yes? wrong.
    After visiting 30+ webpages, downloading various 3rd party software (and deleting them again) - I am still unable to transfer photos from my ipad to a windows pc.
    I connect the ipad 1 to a pc using cable.
    PC shows ipad.
    Then you get the option to import photos (Which 20+ websites just repeat).
    Contained in the DCIM Folder is 2 thumbnail photos. Yes - just 2. Two.
    Stored on the ipad is nearly 3,000 photo's. NOT 2!
    So how do you move photos from an ipad to PC?
    Next problem.
    Someone recommended using Syncios - wonderful.
    All photos found.
    All photos copied - except they are copied as thumbnails.
    It would seem that ipad stores your photos as a thumbnail - but when you email the photo the true size is sent. (Thumbnail is 11kb - when I attach the same photo to an email it shows it as 1.1mb)
    So - apart from creating and sending 3000 emails - so that I can transfer photos at their original resolution - HOW DO YOU TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM IPAD 1 TO A PC.
    Apple really couldn't have made a 30second operation more difficult - or deliberately impossible.
    There is NO option to do this via iTunes.
    I can transfer photos from a PC to iPad using iTunes - but not the other way around.
    So - please - does anyone have a degree in astro-physics that can explain how a person is supposed to transfer full sized photos, that are stored as thumbnails - from an iPAD 1 to a Win 8 pc?
    ps... and yes I am irritated. This has taken me 2 days so far, and still unable.
    pps... and no, I really don't need people posting - oh yes I have the same problem... I need answers.

    HHow did the photos get on your iPad? since the original iPad does not have a camera, the photos were either received in emails, copied from the web or synced from your computer. If they were copied from emails or the web they should be available to copy off the iPad using whatever Camera or image capture application you have on your computer. Connect your iPad, start the application and transfer the photos.
    if the photos were synced from your computer, they should still be on the computer used to sync from.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPad to Toshiba PC?

    How can I transfer photos from my iPad to my Toshiba PC?

    Plug the iPad into your computer using the USB cable and then use whatever app your computer has for downloading images from a digital camera. When the iPad is connected, the computer will see the camera roll as a digital camera. I'm not a PC person, so I can't tell you which app to use on the computer, sorry.

  • How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

    How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

    I'm puzzled!  I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad.  For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name.  When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided.  After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album.  Now, how do I get them back to the iPad.  (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.

  • How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

    Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad.  We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream.  I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook.  I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad...  Any ideas?

  • How do I transfer photos from iPad Air to pic in icloud?

    How how do I transfer my photos from my IPAD AIR to my PC  In icloud?

    You can try setting up iCloud on your PC as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, and enabling photo stream on both your iPad (Settings>iCloud>Photos>My Photo Stream>On) and on the iCloud control panel for Windows (check Photos, click Options next to Photos and check My Photo Stream).  Unfortunately, this doesn't always work on a PC.  If it doesn't work for you, you can import them using your usb cable as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.

  • How can i Transfer Photos from iPad to an external hdd or USB drive?

    Hey everyone,
    Do you Know how to Transfer Files and especially Photos from the iPad to an external hdd or USB drive? I ll Be travelling for a Long Time and Wont take my MacBook with me, only the iPad, the Camera and an external hdd to Save Photos and Videos from the Camera. Thanks.
    Best Wishes,
    Nick

    You can't - external drives and flash drives can't be connected to the iPad for copying photos (or anything else) off the iPad. You can use some photo upload sites to store them on web accounts or cloud services, but for a large number of photographs you'll be better off with a laptop and external drives for backup.

  • How can I transfer photos from ipad - pc if pc doesn't recognise device as harddrive?

    I have synced my ipad to laptop with windows 8 on itunes - but I cant get the photos to copy across so I can delete them from ipad.
    I have also tried this  - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 - to transfer images but my laptop doesnt recognise the ipad as a hard drive and therefore as a device to import the images from.
    I have an ipad 2 - which I have had for a few years and have never been able to get the photos off (have over 20k) and I went to the Apple store and they suggested I try different laptops - which i have - just bought a new laptop - and it wont recognise it as a seperate device apart from itunes either.
    Is this a fault with my ipad? How do I get my photos off?? thanks

    Hi, thanks, I have tried all of this, my ipad is not recognised as a device in the device manager anywhere, other than in iTunes.
    This is the 4th computer/laptop i have tried to import my photos too, so I am going to conclude that its a fault with my ipad.
    thanks for your help
