Importing photos from my computer, running windows, to iPad Air is extremely slow!

Hey guys,
I am syncing about 30 GB of photos and videos from my computer to my iPad using the latest version of iTunes (just updated today).
It's not my first time syncing my photo library. I've done it on my iPad 2, iPad 3 and even the iPhone 4S and this has been by far the slowest: almost two hours and I am not even half-way through.
Has anyone else had this problem? Sure, I mean recently... I have seen many other discussions on the issue.
Thanks in advance

I am not sure whether I can say I fixed the problem, but not including the videos made the syncing speed normal again. It is not even that much (a couple of gigs compared to 25 GB of HD photos) but apparently it has a massive effect.
So next time, just uncheck "include videos" and you should be good to go. Who knows? Maybe Apple introduced that option in the recent iTunes versions untill they fix the bug or whatever it is.

Can you help me delete imported photos from iPhone (4s) running ios 7?

I made (what appears to be) the mistake of importing photos from my PC to my new iPhone 4s using itunes. They now seem to be permanent occupants. I can select them (in the "Moments" view in the Photos app) but the trash can on lower right is always grayed out. It appears that in ios 6 they could be deleted in the Settings/General/Usage (I also synced over some music which is deletable here). Can anyone help me?

Thank you razmee, I will give that a shot and get back to you. I was just looking at that grayed out trashcan icon an thinking there was probably a way to light it up.

How do you import photos from iphone5 to pc (windows 7) without duplicating

Every time I plug my iphone 5 into the laptop (using windows 7) the easiest way is to right click on the portable device (iphone icon) and import to my pictures, BUT every time I do this it wants to import ALL photos and videos. Is there a simple way of plugging the iphone in and importing any photos and videos that have NOT previously been imported as so not to leave me with a load of duplicates?

And when you do this, it should ask if you want to import the pictures that have already been imported. Select No.
Then, after you import, the photos should be deleted from the Camera Roll.
After the photos are imported and deleted from the Camera Roll, you can import using iTunes, only the photos you want on the iPhone.

How do I import photo from my computer to my ipad

No clue what I am doing. We have a new computer all my photos are there I want to import all files but having a hard time figuring this out. Please help

Can pick up plenty of free apps in the app store, or buy the ipad camera connection kit, cheap compared to the amount of times you will use it, and have much more control over what you want transfered.

How do I import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom on mac book air?

Iv'e read in several forums that to do this you must go into the finder right click on iPhoto. Click show package contents. This pulls up a file named contents. All of the forums say to either look for a masters file or a original file and copy and paste it to the desktop. This is supposed to then allow lightroom to see the packaged file. I can't seem to find either file. Im not sure if its because the forum is outdated or if they just completely changed the name of the file with a newer update. Either way I tried to do this with a couple of the files I thought might work i.e.. library, mac os. Nothing has worked. I am very new to using mac. I just literally bought this computer yesterday so I really don't want to try to much blindly but being able to edit images with professional software is the whole reason why I bought it. Pleases Help!!!!!!

I just looked on my computer and it appears that they moved the folder location. In Finder, go to the "pictures" folder and then right click on the iPhoto library and select show package contents. I was then able to find a Masters Library with a bunch of sub folders that contained the files.
I think the issue is that you were selecting the iPhoto application.
Hope this helps.

Importing photos from old iPhone into iPhoto

I've just upgraded an iPhone and am trying to get the photos off the old one onto the computer. Using iPhoto because that's what I've used before. The iPhone is connected via USB and iTunes recognizes it but iPhoto doesn't show it at all, so there's no chance to import anything. Any ideas why the device is not showing up to iPhoto, even while it does show up to iPhoto? Be advised, I have not backed up to the Cloud at all so Photo Stream is not enabled.
And a secondary question: why in the heck would iTunes be set up, under the Photos tab, to import photos FROM the computer TO the iPhone? That's all I can get it to do at least. Why in the world would I want to move photos in that direction, if the iPhone is the camera and the comptuer hard drive is the storage device?

So you can view pics from your computer on your iphone. For most, then iphone is not the only camera they ever use. In fact, it is likely not the main camera you would use.

Can't Import Photos From Nikon D3 on iPad

Is anyone else having trouble importing photos from a Nikon D3 to an iPad 3G? I have no trouble importing from a Nikon D70 but when I connect my D3, it just says "No Photos To Import" but there are 30 in there?

On the D3 do you have RAW (NEF) and Jpeg or only (RAW) NEF selected?
The follow was snipped from an article at MacWorld, you may wish to read the article.
(www.macworld.com/article/150893/2010/04/ipadcamera_connectionkit.htm)
What does it do with Raw files?
With the camera connector kit, the iPad can upload and store raw image files such as .nef (Nikon) and .cr2 (Canon). While there isn't any way to edit or work with those raw files on the iPad at this time, the iPad does create an optimized JPEG version of each image. You can use that image the same way as you would any other kind of photo on the iPad; include it in slideshows, e-mail it, or edit it in third-party apps. Your original file remains un-altered and will transfer to your computer exactly as it was on the camera or SD card. These features should allow photographers to use the iPad as a storage, preview, and transfer device for their raw files.
The optimized JPEG that they refer to is 2048-by-1360 resolution and if you use the mail function within the IPad Iphoto app, this is the resolution that is sent.
Cheers,

How to import photos from multiple iphoto libraries to iPad

How do I import photos from multiple iPhoto libraries from my iMac to the new iPad? I have 4 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac.
I can import photos from iPhoto library 1, to the iPad, but when I import photos from iPhoto Library 2, created on my iMac to the iPad,
it deletes the original photos that I imported from the first iPhoto Library and replaces them with the import from library 2.
I only want to import selected photos from each library to my iPad. Can someone plese help me?

As Ralph has suggested, if you want to sync photos from your computer, you must include all photos that you want to sync - with each and every sync. You cannot import photos from another Main photo folder on the computer. You must create an all-in-one photo library in iPhoto and sync from that folder. You can select one level of sub folders from within that main folder, but all of those folders must be included in the main folder - in your case it is in iPhoto. That is just how the sync process works with Photos.
I don't know how using third party apps affects the photos that you have already synced from iPhoto, but take a look at these apps in this Google search. Maybe Wifi transfer is the way to go for you.

Once they are in DropBox you can open them in the DropBox app and then save them to your camera roll.
You can't just drag and drop files to your phone. This is part of the way that Apple protects content and and keeps people from sharing videos, songs, etc.
You could also read the manual, or the tip that I posted, that tells you how to do what you say can't be done...
