How do you transfer photos from ipad to imac

how do I transfer photos from ipad to imac

Depends on the photos.
If the Photos were taken with the iPad or downloaded from the web onto the iPad, simply connect the iPd to the Mac  and use your favorite Photo Application to move them, or simply use Finder to open the iPad icon, (it will show up as a camera) and drag them from there to a folder on your computer.

    How do you transfer photos from iPad to computer?

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from email/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If you want to copy back photos that were originally synced from a computer then you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video 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 may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How do you transfer photos from iPad 1 to macbook?

    I have iCloud, but can't seem to be able to xfer or pick up my photos from the old iPad 1.
    shame on me, my Macbook died and I had not backed my photos up and the only place I have them is on this old iPad......
    Help!

    Hi,
    My challenge is that the photos that I am trying to transfer from my old iPad1 were taken with a camera, not an iOS device.  These instructions say that only photos take with an iOS device
    can be transferred.  There must be a way to get them back onto my mac. 
    Please tell me that I am wrong.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPad to iMac?

    I want photos to transfer from ipad to iphoto on the imac so my photos are all in one main place.
    I've backed up once or twice and know that I have to have the ipad plugged into the mains and using wi-fi and launch itunes from the imac. 
    But after backing up which takes ages... none of the photos I took on the ipad have appeared in iphoto on the imac. 
    I have tried several things in 'Camera' on the ipad.  I've 'shared' the latest photos from 'camera roll' (edit, share) and put in photostream - which then appear in the main 'photo' app on the ipad.  But again they don't back up to the imac. 
    What exactly am I leaving out here?  And using itunes - well it beats me why we have to use that.  Why can't they develop an app that is just for backing up and selectively so.  The whole process is just not intuitive as I am used to within the Mac world.  When I take a few photos here and there on the ipad (or whatever on the ipad) I don't always want to have to back up the whole ipad again - just the photos I took!  It's just not necessary to waste all that time for a few photos.
    I've been using Macs since 1987 and feel daft not being able to work this simple one out! 
    Thanks to anyone who can save me a trip to the Apple store for coaching....

    On a Mac a backup is stored under :
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    But you probably won't be able to make much, if any, sense of the backup files unless you restore them onto a device.
    Syncing is when you copy content to the device from your computer. If you want to be able to access your iPad's files on your Mac then, depending upon what the app that they are in supports, you might be able to copy them via the file sharing section on the device's Apps tab (file sharing), copy them via your wifi network, email them to yourself, use Dropbox - for photos you can copy them as above. If you want to copy things that you've purchased directly on your iPad (e.g. music, films, apps etc) over to your Mac's iTunes then you should be able to do so via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
    Edit : got distracted half-way through typing this, so Demo's reply appeared after I started it but before I finished.

  • 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 do you transfer photos from laptop to ipad air?

    How do you transfer photos from your laptop to ones ipad air?

    You transfer photos during a sync with iTunes.
    First organize your photos. If you're using a Mac use iPhoto to create photo albums. If you're using a PC organize your photos by creating a main photos folder. Inside of that folder creat folders and sort photos into topics or dates. Do not create any additional folders inside the first nested folder.
    Then start iTunes on your computer. If you don't have iTunes on your computer download it form Apple it's free. If you already have iTunes make sure it is iTunes 11.1 or later. If it is an earlier version of iTunes update it.
    Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes. Then select Photos from the row of tabs that are presented.
    You can choose to sync photos from iPhoto or navigate to your main photo folder. Then select to sync all photos or select just the albums you want on your device.
    Finally click apply or sync at the bottom of the iTunes screen on your computer.

    how do I transfer photos from iPad 2 to a flash drive?

    You don't.  There is the Camera Connection Kit, which let's you download pictures to your iPad via SD card, but the reverse is not a standard feature of iPad.  The best method would be to connect your iPad to your computer and transfer the pictures to your computer via iTunes.

    How do I transfer photos from iPad to ipad2?

    With your computer.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync process should remain on your computer. You transfer these photos to your iPad 2 in the same way - via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad 2 sync preferences with iTunes.
    For any photos on your iPad that were saved from a received email or from a website or that were imported from a digital camera with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, these photos can be imported from your iPad by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Import these photos from your iPad with your computer, and then transfer the photos from your computer to your iPad 2 via the iTunes sync process.
