  • Getting photos from my ipad back to my Mac that are NOT in camera roll.

    Our hard drive failed and my back up files were corrupt so I lost my entire digital life including my iphotos.  I had set up my ipad to sync several folders from  iphoto to my ipad when I did an itunes sync.  All of these photos and folders  are currently viewable on my ipad.  When I plug the ipad in to sync, i can only transfer the photos that are currently in the camera roll (355 photos)  There are 5000 photos on the ipad via the folders I previously synced. 
    How do I get these photo back to my mac?  Is it even possible?
    Image caputer doesn't work because it only looks at the photos in the camera roll (ie taken by the ipad).
    To sum up:  Basically starting with a new mac and trying to get photos from the ipad back on the mac.
    Thank You!

    If you have iPhoto on your iPad, you can save the photos back to the camera roll: you can select complete albums or events at once to do that.
    Save photos to the Camera Roll on your iOS device
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap > Camera Roll.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save:
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap up to 100 photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Tap Done.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
    For other sharing options from iPhoto see:  Ways to share photos
    But a third-party app, like Terence Devlin suggested wll probably quicker and safer, since you have 5000 photos to transfer.
    my back up files were corrupt
    Have you tried data recovery software on your backup drive? Software like
    Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
       might still be able to restore jpeg files at least.

  • Sense I have updated my Ipad my back camera is blurry and front isn't , need help on the back camera.

    Why is my back camera blurry ?

    Close the camera app and reboot your iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the camer app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4101 Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

    Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

    No, it only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app on the iPad, not from the iPad. You can copy photos that you've copied to the iPad via the kit to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • HT4623 Trying to do an IOS upgrade on my Ipad 2.  It was running, then came up with an Itunes icon and is just sitting there.  I'm not sure what I need to do to get my Ipad back

    Trying to do an IOS upgrade on my IPAD 2. It was running then came up with an ITUNES icon and just sits there.  How do I complete this upgrade and get my IPAD back??

    It sounds like it's gone into recovery mode. How were you trying to update it, directly on it of via your computer's iTunes ? If directly on it then have you tried conencting it to your computer's iTunes ?

  • Can I skype with Ipad 3 and use back camera?

    I would like to use my Ipad 3 to skype and need to use the back camera.  Is this possible?  How do I activate the back camera while in skype?
    Thanks-

    Probably best to refer this question to the Skype creators.  Or, Skyperators, if you will.

  • Ipad 4 front and back camera ipad 4 not working after updating to ios 7

    I just updated my ipad 4 to ios 7. After the update I noticed that both cameras are not working anymore.
    I can start the phote app butt I anly get a black screen

    I have been experiencing this exact same problem (back camera not working, switching to front camera it works once then freezes and screen goes black). I tried the fixes everyone has suggested and no luck. I took my iPad to a Genius Bar and let me spare you all the frustration of that experience. The "geniuses" solution at the Apple Genius Bar was to offer to sell me a new iPad for $299. After attempting to restore the iPad I was told they couldn't determine what the problem was and that there could be a "million" different reasons why the camera would stop working. When I asked them about the problem possibly being related to the IOS 7 I was told that "people say a lot of things on the Internet and that the IOS 7 is getting blamed for a lot of things." Nevermind that it's on Apple's own discussion boards that it's being talked about.
    I'm so ****** off and so disappointed with Apple and their crap products. There are posts about this dating back at least six months, but no fix or patch? This iPad is barely more than a year old. It has never been dropped or mishandled in any way. The first time it was ever even taken out of our home was today...to take it to the Not-So-Genius Bar. My 5 year old uses this iPad and is in tears over the fact that it will no longer take pictures or video.
    Hey Apple you could have locked in a customer for life, but now my 5 year old will only think of Apple as the compay that makes crap products that break and won't stand by them. Congratulations! Awesome job with cultivating customers for the future.

  • Ipad 2 Back camera does not open

    Just bought an ipad 2. the back camera does not open! can't take pictures! any suggestions?

    The only other thing I could suggest is restoring the ipad. Here is a link. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 I have heard of cases where the camera was malfunctioning and they have had to replace the ipad

  • My iPad 2 camera isn't working! (back camera)

    When I go to take a photo it goes to the front camera then when I switch to to back camera it freezes and the shutter stays closed! Is their anything I can do?

    Quit the camera app completely. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera again.
    Or ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • IPad Mini 2012 reduced back camera quality??

    Hi,
    It seems like my 2012 iPad mini's back camera suffers a reduction in quality. Images now look granier, washed out and just plain bad to the point I had to dig out myold digital camera. I've tried a clean restore and it seems like it is a hardware problem. Is there anything I'm missing? It especially struggles with bright lighting condition, where the bright light bleeds into the space around it. I also know that this is isolated to this particular iPad mini because my dad also has one(also bought in 2012) and that mini's camera still rocks. my model is a1432. I live in the Philippines so no Geniuses nor Apple Stores.

    Also, the pictures imported from the mini in question only has a resolution of 700 x 900 or something like that. Not sure what to make out of that??

  • My ipad 2 camera stop functioning when i switch from back to front? Anyone can help me? i have already restore my ipad2 but the problem is still recurring.

    My ipad 2 camera stop functioning when i switch from back to front? Anyone can help me? i have already restore my ipad2 but the problem is still recurring.

    Abelynn-
    Does the problem occur in both Camera and Photo Booth Apps?  If you run the FaceTime App, does the front camera work?
    If the front camera never works, you may have a defective iPad.  If you are near an Apple company store, the Apple Store Genius can verify the problem, and may replace it on the spot.
    If the front camera works for at least one App, try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  After a couple of minutes, the iPad will restart.  Rebooting will not hurt anything, and may correct your problem.

  • How many megapixels is the front and back cam on ipad 2?

    i wanna no how many MP are the fron and back cam in an ipad2 3G and Wifi version

    While those numbers seem low its important to remember what the ipad cameras are for. They are not for taking photos. Who wants to hold up a huge ipad to take photos anyway when the chances are we all own a camera phone with much higher resolution or better yet, a real camera.
    The cameras are designed for video. The front camera is good enough for facetime only while the rear can handle 720p video. Again, enough for a video call but thats about it.

  • IPad 2 front and back camera is not work after update iOS 7.0.4 it gives like the resolution is not adjusted

    After updating my ipad 2 to iOS 7.0.4 , front and back camera is not working it gives like very small dots or dash. I did restore from iTunes and reset by holding on the home and sleep button, I also tried to close the app from the task bar but still all trials didn't solve the problem.

    I haven't heard of this before so I doubt it's a bug. Probably something happened during the 7.04 download.
    Backup your iPhone to iTunes and restore it as a new iphone, then restore from the backup. This will give you a fresh copy of iOS 7.04.
