How to manage photos on an extended trip with iPad & iPhoto?

I will be traveling with a camera and ipad and plan to takehundreds of photos and videos clips.
As I go I'd like to cull, edit, and organize the photos into albums.  While the iPad should be great for this purpose (the display is fantastic and showing the photos immediately is great) there are several roadblocks that Ive encountered.  Does anyone know how to either solve these problems? Or you can recommend a way around them?
1)iPhoto can't create albums. Photo can but the sorting isn't preserved when viewed in iPhoto.  Likewise the editing possible in iPhoto is lost when the album is viewed in Photo.  So it seems you can have your photos edited or sorted but not both.  Apparently iPhoto and Photo don't communicate too well.
2)There doesn't seem to be anyway to export the album you've created from the iPad to your home mac and its iPhoto app.  The individual photos can be transfered but not the album.
So, if I take 1000 photos I can screen and cull them on the iPad with either iPhoto or photo and the surviving photos will sync to my mac when I return. :-)
However all the work done in creating albums for viewing as I go on the iPad will be lost. :-(
Can anyone see a way around these problems?
Anyone have tricks for managing a lot of photos and video while on the road with an iPad?

Same question.
I'm currently using the iPad pretty much just for backup: have the photos still on the SD cards, but also now on the iPad.
Sending a few photos to family once in a while is nice but not important.
I'm not going to do any editing, because iPhoto for iPad will just send the edited version to my iMac, unless I mess around with duplicates. No thanks.
What I really want to do but apparently can't: organizing. Add keywords, give star ratings, do batch file renaming with the date, give the photos titles because NOW I remember the name of that monument or church or whatever, because I was just there a few hours ago, but I won't have a clue when I get home.
Are there other apps out there good for adding metadata that iPhoto on my iMac will then read? Because that's the main thing I want on the iPad when travelling, and unless I'm missing something, it's not possible.

  • I am confused about how to manage photos between my iPhone, iMac and iPad.  How do I avoid using all the storage pace on my various devices?

    How do I manage photos between my ipad, iphone and imac without using all the storage on the various devices?

    If enabled, iCloud Photo Stream ensures all new photos are sent to all your devices. Then you can simply add the ones you want to each one's Library, and delete any photos you don't want.
    One technique is to designate one device as the "master" containing all your photos - probably your iMac, since it is likely to have the greatest available storage - and make sure you have a backup strategy for it. That way, any photos you choose to keep on your iPad and iPhone are redundant copies that can be deleted as you wish, or as required should you need to restore your iOS device. If your iMac breaks and its Library irretrievably lost, the importance of its backup becomes critical. Therefore, consider having more than one backup, and more than one geographical location for them.

  • How to manage photos from multiple accounts

    Hi,
    i am trying to solve one problem. I have one iMAC where i have two user profiles connected to different AppleIDs. Next to it there are two iPhones and two iPads. I am trying to find out, how to manage photos from all these devices using one account on iMAC. Second question is if there is any finction in iPhoto that can publish images to NAS server? Second alternative for me is to byu iCloud drive space and use Family sharing for publishing photos. Bellow text schema is attached, it is only my idea and i dont know if this could work like this. Did anyone somehow solved this configuration? Thanks

  • How to Manage Photo Stream & Apple TV

    Hi! I have apple TV, and I love that I can use pics from Photo stream as a screen saver. I just can't figure out how to make Apple TV draw the pics from the photo stream folder on my computer instead of the photo stream folder on my iphone. Any help is appreciated!

    Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?
    IOS 7 supports writing of persons with different AppleIDs to the same  shared photo stream.
    And I expect that iPhoto and Aperture will soon support this too.
    From the IOS ipad user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.

  • How to manage photo stream from 2 iCloud accounts in Aperture 3

    For the time being, my wife and I used to share the same iCloud account,
    This was very convenient to share the family's calendar, contacts, and photos!
    But from iOS 7, the sharing of Apple ID for the family looks compromised, iMessage and FaceTime are using common IDs on all devices connected with the same account...
    I'm now considering creating an account for each of us and could find a solution for calendar, contacts, BUT not for photos!

  • How to upload photos to picasa web directly from ipad

    does anyone know how can I upload photos that I transferred to my ipad using the camera kit, to picasa web directly from ipad?

    I havn't tried either, but this app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mypics-picasa-web-albums-manager/id351297486?mt=8 says that it supports :

  • How to transfer photos and video from MacBook to ipad

    How do I transfer photos and video from laptop/MacBook Pro to my iPad. Also how do I download videos from internet to my iPad.

    You can sync photos and videos to your iPad via your computer's iTunes.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If the videos are films that you want to go into the Videos app then you first need to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then use the Films/Movies tab to select and sync them
    Syncing media : iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    What format are the videos in that you want to download, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports that format ?

  • How to search photos by title and or keywords on iPhoto for iOS

    Maybe I'm not I'm not seeing things wright but I can't find any possibilitie to search photos by name, title, keyword with iPhoto (1.0.1) on my iPad 2 (5.1.1)
    How can I Search? I don't want to beleive that's not possible...
    Miguel

    Rob,
    as Frank Caggiano said. There is not really any Apple-provided application on the iPad that will support a full-fledged photo database like the Mac-versions of Aperture or iPhoto. Even the IOS app iPhoto is nothing like the Mac version of iPhoto. The iPad version is not a photo database but a tool for editing, sharing, and viewing photos - the iPhoto Help is saying:
    With iPhoto for iOS, you have everything you need to view, edit, and share your photos on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (with iOS 7).
    You can organize your photos in iPhoto IOS in a limited way by tagging them, so that they will apear in albums: What are albums?
    To tag them with flags or keywords see: Flag, tag, hide photos
    Considering the limited space on IOS devices, the designers probably did not expect anybody to try to store so many photos on an iPad that it would be necessary to search for them other than using the predefined Views (Moments, Places) in the Photos.app, or iPhoto's albums. And any library organization you are doing in the Photos.app or iPhoto will not sync back to your computer.

  • How to import photos older than 18 months from ipad

    How do I import Photos from my ipad to my computer that are older than 18 months old?

    Hi Terence,
    thanks for your reply.
    i've scrolled, oh i've scrolled, I've gone through every individual picture that is displayed in the photos option, and through the events option and while it's true there are photos past 18 months, there are lots of photos that used to be in my iPhoto library that are now missing in action. 
    I also tried the Smart Albums, thanks for the suggestion, and nothing came up that was older than 2009.  I definitely have photos older than that and desperately need them.  Thoughts?
