How does iPad store photos when connected to Windows?

I've recently upgraded to iPad2. A friend is interested in buying my original iPad 32gb because she loves iPhoto and would like to move her current 10 gb photo library into it. Uploading new photos from her camera to the iPad is easy with the card reader.  But how could she handle backup of photo files going forward since she works in the Windows world and her primary OS is Windows 7?
I know that when I upload pictures to the iPad in the field and then connect the iPad to my computer at home the Image Capture program asks me if I want to import the photos and where to put them.  Does a similar event take place when using Windows?

Yes - the windows camera wizard should open : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . Or they can be manually copied from the iPad as it will appear as a 'camera' in windows explorer (in a similar way to how a memory card in a card reader would).

  • How Does Elements Store Photos?

    Is just gotten version 11 for the mac.  I imported one folder of images (which has subfolders) to try out the organizer.  I think I need to understand better what Elements is doing with my images before I proceed. 
    When I look at the left pane, I see Albums (there are none yet) and My Folders.  There I see the folders of images that were imported.  They are all shown at the same level, with no subfolders.
    This leads me to believe Organizer is not actually making copies of my images and importing them, but merely creating a catalogue that points to them.  Do I have that right?  I can use Albums to organize the photos, but once again, the Albums won't contain the photos, but only point to them, correct?
    My photos are woefully organized in folders on my hard drive.  I'm almost thinking that before I import into Elements, I should get my folders organized and cleaned up outside of Elements.  Even though I could have good Album structure in Elements. it bothers me that down there at the actual folder level, it's all a piece of @#%&.  Can I use Organizer to do that folder organizing even before I start the Album organizing?
    How does Elements handle editing of images?  iPhoto (which copies photos into its catalog), keeps a version of the original when editing is done.  Does Elements do that, or is there only one version of IMG_001 no matter how many edits are applied to it?
    If the images are kept in my original folder structure and I edit an image outside of Elements, when I open the image in Elements, do I get the edited image?
    I'm trying to decide between iPhoto and Elements, mainly for organizing purposes, so answers to these questions will help me decide.  I appreciate your help.

    Under normal circumstances, the organizer is just a database: it merely makes entries for the photos you import, without copying anything. The one exception is the "from iphoto" command, which duplicates the photos in your iphoto library in another location (although, again, the copies are not stored "in" PSE). The reason for this is that poking around at the iphoto library from outside iphoto is a sure way to eventually corrupt the library and lose the photos it contains.
    If a photo is in the organizer, you can save as many PSE versions as you like. This is one advantage that organizer has over iphoto. You also have access to all the versions all the time (unlike iphoto where you must lose your edited version to get back to the original.) Overall, I would not say that organizer is a clear winner over iphoto, but this is probably the biggest point on its side in the debate.

  • Where and how does iPhoto store photos?

    I have iPhoto 2009 and tens of gigabytes of photos, maybe 10,000 in all.
    Currently, I have been dumping these photos into my Pictures folder, then importing them into iPhoto. My questions are:
    1) What's getting stored, and where?
    2) Is this the best strategy?
    3) What about duplicates? Do I just delete them from my iPhoto library, and leave them in my Picture folder? For example, I have hundreds of shots that I created as both RAW and JPEG. That's what I want to keep on disk, but I don't need duplicates in iPhoto.
    4) How do I go about organizing my photos? Should I have a maximum number of photos in a given folder? And how should I organize all this in iPhoto?
    I know these seem like stupid questions. I'm not a stupid user; I have 25 years of experience. I'm just looking for best practice suggestions and a deeper understanding of what is stored and where, and where I will hit performance problems.

    the pictures in my Pictures folder have been copied into iPhoto, (into an enormous invisible folder somewhere)
    Nothing enormous or invisible.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    How the files are stored: You have three core folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    See? No secrets.
    I can be confident that they'll be backed up with Time Machine,
    Yes, or any other Back Upmutility you choose
    and they will remain in their original format (unless I edit within iPhoto),
    Yes, as you can see from your look inside iPhoto
    and, if I later choose a different photo management program, photos in the iPhoto library are still discrete files that I can copy using the Finder?
    Yes, though the more correct way would be to export via iPhoto. Why? Because this will allow you to write any metadata you add in iPhoto to the files.

  • How does iPad handle photo sync / email re-size?

    Hi Everyone..
    I have a photo on my computer which is 3.0megabytes in size. I sync this photo to my iPad2.
    All is good.
    Now when I go to email this photo from my iPad, it seems to show up as 516k..
    What is going on? Is the iPad shrinking a 3.0 megabyte photo down to 516k to email?
    Or
    Is the iPad / iTunes shrinking it down to 516k when my computer originally synced it with my iPad, and therefore
    the photo resides on my iPad as a 516k file?
    I'm confused.
    -Frank

    Hi and thanks for yoru response -
    What you're saying seems to be the case with the iPhone but not the iPad.
    Unless I'm missing something, there is no option to select a size that I see.. Not like on the iPhone where it says 'Small, Medium, Large, Original'..
    Am using the latest iOS

  • Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • My ipad wont charged when connected to laptop. HELP?!!!

    my ipad wont charged when connected to my laptop. Anyone know how to fix that. thanks, much appreciated
    Also, just noticed this now....i have it connected and its got no battery. It will shut off like it died (while connected to the laptop) and then after a few minuted it will turn on. with the battery icon saying "not charging"

    Chances are your USB port is charging but only when the screen is off. This is e behaviour i get from our pcs.
    Make a note of the battery level, plug it in and make sure the screen is off, after and hour check the battery level.
    It should have charged a bit but very, VERY slowly.
    Your computer port normally only delivers 500mha of power. Some modern macs deliver 1100mha. Anything less than 1000mha wont charge with the screen in.
    The iPhone charge delivers 1000mha and the iPad charger delivers 2100mha.
    So it not charging via the computer is normal.

  • How does time machine work when being used with a mac pro?

    How does time machine work when backing up a mac pro?
    Considering the fact that the mac pro can hold 8TB and a external (non NAS) hard drive can hold only 2TB does time machine only backup the OS disk.

    Time Machine will backup everything by default, on every disk in your Mac.
    Choose System Preferences > Options to exclude items. You could exclude everything except your OS...but I'd think it is your data that's more important to you, if you have to make choices.
    See...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018
    While it's true you can store almost 8TB, how much do you think you'll actually store? If you have 1TB of data you want to store then a 2TB drive can do it. Also when your TM drive begins to get full it will begin deleting the oldest backups to make room.
    You could also get a Drobo with 8 bays...

  • Where does mavericks store photo files

    where does mavericks store photo files.
    This will depend on how the photos are imported to your Mac.
    For photos, that you import to your iPhoto library see Terence Devlin's excellent user tips: 
    iPhoto and File Management
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    For downloaded files see Niel's answer, and for many other applications you are free to pick a folder in the finder to store the photos.  The default folder, where most applications will look for photos is your Pictores fold run your Home folder.

  • Where does iPad store email addresses?

    Where does iPad store email addresses?

    They go away when there are other newer addresses to push them down the list.  So if you send a lot of e mail, they will dissappear faster.
    But, to change the subject, a wise man told me 'never send something in an e mail that you would not want to see projected on a whiteboard in a courtroom or in church'.  There is no expectation of privacy in an email.  If you don't want your mom to see it, don't send it.

  • With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later.  You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
    If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back.  My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
    You may have Numbers '09 installed.  Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"  if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save.  Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x
