How to export photos from iMac to iPad.

I have a 3 year old iMac & iPad 4. I have read the discussions and the very limited iPad manual. These pictures are in my iMac not on an SD card or in my camera. They were imported to my iMac from a CD. I read about syncing and starting iTunes etc. I need STEPS & what device you start iTunes on etc. None of the discussions state this. So getting my pics from my iMac to iPad I need to do .........? Thanks

Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on "Sync Photos from" and then select the folder where your pictures are located - usually on the Mac in iPhoto. However, you can choose any folder from the drop down menu in the Sync Photos From heading that you want to use.
Click on any albums within that main photos folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If all of your photos are in one folder on the Mac, you will not have any sub folders to sync.

    You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
    I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
    I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
    Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
    For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

  • HT4906 How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

    How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

    You can do it by manually adding those photos to My Photo Stream and let the iPad access them and copy to the iPad's Camera Roll for permanent residence on the iPad. The photos will be viewable in the Ps for 30 days. 
    Or create a Shared Photo Stream which will leave the photos up indefinitely and access the Shared Photo Stream (private or public)  with the iPad. 
    Of course both devices must be signed in to the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled.
    the My Photo Stream is not a permanent situation wereas Shared Photo Streams are.

    How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

    I had no trouble finding the "Export" tools in the "File" menu. They are greyed out when no photo is selected, but they are functional after selecting one or more photos.
    I agree that it would be nice to have the "Reveal in Finder" option back, but they probably don't want us mucking about inside the Photos library structure.

    Sending the photos over WiFi might be the easiest way for you to accomplish this. The Wireless Transfer App should work. You will both have to download the app on your own devices. Read about it here.

  • Transfer photos from iMac to iPad

    Hi Guys - can someone tell me an easier way to transfer photos from iMac to iPad.
    Perhaps I've misunderstood, but this is the process I currently go through
    create folder called "iPad photos" on desktop
    create event called "iPad transfer" on iphoto
    copy and paste items from iPhoto to desktop folder
    when complete, drag photos from desktop to iphoto
    then move the resultant "untitled event" to merge with "iPad transfer"
    sync iPad with ONLY "iPad transfer"
    This works. However, I've then got exactly TWICE the number of digital photos in iPhoto !
    I have the originals, and then the duplicates imported BACK into the iPad transfer folder - so obviously I'm using up valuable memory.
    Can someone suggest a simpler more efficient way ?
    Many thanks.

    I'm guessing that you are going through all of those steps because you have photos in a number of different events that you want to copy to the iPad and that those events also include photos that you don't want to go to the iPad?
    Two options to consider:
    1) Create an Event for photos that you want to move to the iPad and move all of the photos from where they currently are into that Event. This has the advantage of grouping all of the photos into one Event but the disadvantage that they are no longer in the Event where you may have wanted them for other reasons.
    2) What I do. Use the iPhoto "Album" feature. A photo inside iPhoto can be in one Event and in one or more Albums without occupying any more space. Create an Album (iPhoto File menu New Album) and name it something like "iPad Photos". If you desire you can create additional Albums and drag them onto the main Album to create sub-albums one level deep for better organization. Then simply drag photos from Events to the desired Album and they will be in both places. Then when you sync, select the Album (e.g. "iPad Photos") to sync.

    To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
    WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too?  I just turned photo stream on on my computer.  Thank you.  Liz

  • How to export photos from ipad to sd card

    For some reason my ipad doesn't recongize readers attached.  Or maybe a better question is how do I know if ipad recognizes reader? How do I export photos from ipd to SD card?

    You can only use the kit to copy photos from a card (or direct from a camera) to the iPad's Photos app, you can't use it to copy content off the iPad.
    To copy photos to the iPad via the kit, then if you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer then you will need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    To copy photos taken with the iPad, copied to via the kit or saved from emails/websites etc from the iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
