IPad SD photo card not seen

Have photos on an SD card which is inserted in a "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" and connected to my iPad Lightning Connector. The manual says a photo app should open and display the photos. I get nothing! I opened the photo and see only pictures I took with the iPad. What am I missing? Yes, I am a newbie to Apple anything.

How did the photos get onto the card (and it's not an Ex-FAT formatted SDXC card) ? If you copied the photos onto the card from yoru computer then you 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

New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?

0New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?8I have a new zen 4gb unit and love it, saw it has a memory card slot so i stuck an 8gb sdhc sandisk 3 extreme memory card in there, figured I could dump more fun stuff in there on it but when i use the zen explorer i don't see that card.
I formatted the sdhc card in fat 32 and named it sd4zen yet when its in the zen and i check my computer I am not seeing the card in the windows menus to drag stuff over onto for the zen nor is it showing in any of the zen media explorer areas.
Do i need to dump stuff onto the memory card externally (thru a card reader first) then insert it and access that thru the memory part of the zen menu, or are the zens not able to read from an sdhc sd card or is 8 gb too big (compatability)?
Thanks for any help on this,
Bill

I am a dork, a few mins messing with it i realized in the main menu of the zen with the card inserted hit removable disk and hook up via usb, now my computer sees the sd4zen dri've and i can dump more fun stuff for zen on there...
Sorry to take up space maybe someone will read this and help them with the same issue i was having or mods if you choose just delete.

IPad saved photos do not appear in iPhoto*

I have about 20 photos (screenshots) saved in my iPad photo album but when I open image capture or iPhoto they both say that there are no photos available for import. How do I transfer these images over? I also have photo sync on in my iPad settings but its not syncing to my desktop.
I am using a first generation iPad.

They were automatically saved to my 'Saved Photos' album. Id really love to not have to email myself every pic one by one. Seems like it should be easy to do??
It is very easy to do when it works - I have done it quite a few times.
and @Demo, I do have iPad clicked in both iPhoto and Image Capture. Both say I have no photos.
The usual route that I take when these things happen is to quit both apps on the Mac, reboot the Mac, restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
See if that helps at all.
If you do have to email the photos - you can do it in 4 emails - but I realize that you want to resolve this issue and I don't blame you!

Photo transfer PC to iPad via SD card not always successful.

Frequently jpeg files I have copied from my PC onto an SD card are not recognized by iPad Photos using the Apple accessory. I am downloading onto the card each file individually and not as a folder. Any ideas please?

Are you creating a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension ?

IPad Air "Photos" will not start?

When "Photos" icon is tapped, the Home a Page blinks, then nothing.
Any solutions?
Much thanks.

Thank you all.
Last night, another two work related Apps would not open.
No time to mess around.
Did a full reset and the restored from iCloud.
Got most content back, but not the photos.
Have to reload photos via iTunes or PhotoTransfer.
Both tedious.
It appears that a 128GB iPad Air bogs down when loaded to 70GB!
Thanks again.

CD/DVDs Not Mounting But Drive is Recognized / SCSI Card Not Seen

Apologies for this mess in advance, but I thought it was worth seeing if anyone had an idea of what to try on either of these two issues from a system software perspective before I start breaking the computer apart and tinkering with hardware.
My G4 is the 733 MHz model which first shipped with the SuperDrive. That SuperDrive died years ago and I replaced it with an HP DVD Writer 300n which worked fine up until some version update of 10.4 though I can't recall the specific version. In any case, now the drive will not mount any CD or DVD that I insert, commercially-pressed or otherwise. The eject key on the keyboard functions properly, the tray opens and closes without problem and when a disc is inserted the activity light goes on and the disc spins for a minute and all seems normal, but the disc never appears on the desktop nor in any Finder window. The drive is still recognized in the System Profiler and I've double-checked the CD/DVD settings under System Preferences to verify that nothing is set to ignore there. I suppose it's possible the laser suddenly went bad, but as I said, the symptoms showed up following an update (though it was a while ago and at the time I had no need for a optical drive on this computer so I didn't address it then).
The second issue I discovered when I attached an external optical drive via the SCSI port I hadn't used in many years. That drive wasn't recognized at all and when I looked in the System Profiler the SCSI card isn't listed under PCI Cards. Is there a generic SCSI card driver I might be missing under OS X or will I need to open up the computer and determine which card I actually have in there?
Any suggestions would be appreciated and hopefully I've provided enough information to make that possible.

Hi K Roth, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I find Optical drives fairly short lived myself, but on the Internal, you might try PatchBurn...
http://www.patchburn.de/
Do you have another Mac with Firewire and a good optical drive?
If so you can boot the Other Mac into Target mode...

Boot this G4 with the Option key held down, see if the Install Disc in the other Mac shows up as a boot choice.

MacBook Pro 17" - Airport card not seen with certain OS

I know this isn't supported but ...
I've had to install 2 systems on my MBP to be able to use Airport.
If I use the install disks that came with the machine - 10.4.8 - then I can see the Airport card and I can connnect OK.
I also want to use the machine as a Portable Netboot server so have got Server version 10.4.7 for Intel. The system runs fine but there is no info on the Airport card and therefore no Airport connection possible, I have tried to do the 10.4.8 update (thinking newer drivers may fix the Airport issue...), but as soon as it reboots and goes thru its startup, it doesn't get to login window and just shuts down.
I can run it in 10.4.7 Server but it would have been nice to have 1 OS not 2 ...
Any suggestions ?

IPad 2 photo does not have add album option button, how can I add alu

iPad 2 does not have a button to add album, how do I add album with out this?

Then you need to connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Assuming you have been backing up your computer to your computer and iTunes, it will tell you there is an update available for your iPad and ask if you want to update. Choose yes. But be advised, upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 is a lengthy process. Make sure you have enough time. Turn off your Anti Virus/FIrewall software. And even when you see the Apps rebuilding back on your iPad screen, do not disconnect your iPad from your computer and iTunes until you are told the entire process is complete.
This link is from when iOS5 was first released. While the current iOS version is 5.1.1, you should read this as it still would be applicable to you since you are going to the new OS for the first time. http://www.macworld.com/article/1162925/how_to_upgrade_your_ios_device_to_ios_5. html

AP Extreme card not seen, new card doesn't fix, reseated connector..help!

The Airport Extreme card on my daughter's Powerbook G4 quit working last week...it wasn't recognized in System Profiler or Airport. I tried re-seating it etc, but finally broke down and bought a new one, which didn't work either. I found a guide here to open up the covers and re-seat the ribbon connector for the airport card...put it all back together and Presto! it worked...for about 2 hours, now it doesn't see the card again!!!
It's a pain to take it all apart again, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any further suggestions before I do. I'm thinking that if it works for a while then quits maybe it's an issue with the ribbon cable? Over heating and then losing connection?
Suggestions? Please!!
Thanks

Kodak photo cd not seen, won't eject

Hi using a Ti 667 with a combo drive. Installed a Kodak picture cd, it didn't show on desktop and won't eject? Any ideas what I can do other than; the eject button, drive utility eject isn't highlighted, there is no emergency eject? Help! Thanks!

Holding down the trackpad button is a hardware command that doesn't involve the OS and should be executed before the OS begins to load. If it isn't working, that suggests that your optical drive isn't getting any power, and that in turn suggests that its flex cable's connection to the logic board is loose. I would remove the bottom cover from the Tibook, discconnect and firmly reconnect the ribbon cable to the LB, replace the bottom cover, and test again by starting up while holding down the trackpad button. If you still get no reaction, the optical drive is dead or its cable is bad, and one or the other needs to be replaced.

Photos will not sync from my Ipad4 to my laptop.

Hi - first time I've synced my Ipad 4 with my laptop. I have 100's of photos but it is only recognising one photo.
I plug in the Ipad but "photos" are not listed as being on the device.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

are the photos in the camera roll? Only camera roll photos will show on the Mac. You cannot import synced photos.

Problem: Photo Gallery not working.

Hello i am new at flash. I created a simple photo gallery
using flash CS3. I had 11 photos to show and i created 11 keyframes
and put a uiloader on each one of them. Then i added buttons and
linled them to the uiloaders. I changed the source values of the
loaders. So when i clicked a button, the selected uiloader with the
photo attached to the source of it was seen. It has such a simple
logic. Because i don't know enough actionscript to do it easier.
Anyway the problem is i make it work on my computer but when i
uploaded it to my site it doesn't work properly. I can see the
buttons but the photos are not seen. I checked the files and
folders but everything seems right. What might be the problem. How
can i solve it?

Try duplicating the folder structure of your website, on your
local drive. You may need the path from where the html file is, so
you would add "/mages" to the loaders for instance. Not sure what
you setup is, but I have found that using LoadMovie, I have to set
it up so it doesnt work when I test the movie in Flash, but it will
work when I open the html file...

ICamera photos are not displayed in iPhoto

HI!
I have a big problem: Whan I make photos with the included camera in my iPad,
these photos are not displayed in the iPhoto app supplied with my iPad. I can't find
them.
I'm using IOS 5.0.1.
Any help? PLEASE!!!

After you snap the photo with the iPad, and that picture shrinks down to the corner, you should ba able to tap that little picture - and it should open in the Camera Roll in the Photos app.
I'm not sure what to suggest other than the basic, first try, troubleshooting steps.
Quit the camera app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

Missing iPad mini photo iTunes summary tab

The iPad mini photo does not show on my iTunes summary tab. Anyone knows why is that?

Just updated iTunes 11 and problem still persists. I am using iPad 4 and MBP. After update "Photo" tab still missing. Any one still facing this problem?
I can see the iPad devise in iPhoto but that is all. I cannot even synced it.
How to resolve this issue? I have searched high and low over the internet to no avail.

Some photos will not sync from iPhoto to iPad

I could REALLY use some help. For starters, here is what I am working with:
iPad3, 64 Gigs, 32 gigs free, up to date iOS
Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.3 and iPhoto 9.4.2
The main problem is that some photos can not be synced to my iPad. I have done this for years using iTunes. When I am in iTunes, I can see the albums where the photos are supposed to be. But often, the number of photos in the folder is listed as zero. Other times, the number is less than the number that is actually in the folder on my Mac. Syncing or Applying does not find and move the seemingly invisible pictures.The photos on my Mac are in JPEG format, and can be seen and emailed and edited, etc. on my Mac. I just cant get my iPad to see them and sync them. To say the least, this is problematic, I use my iPad show my craftwork photos to clients, and I can't get some newer photos put on the beautiful handheld iPad.More (potential) pieces of the puzzle:
the issues seem more frequent with new photos. Old albums seem stable and transferable
I have done some things like clearing ALL photos off my iPad, restarting it, then moving the albums back on to the iPad using iTunes. Didn't help
iPhoto on my Mac does sometimes exhibit some crankiness. It tends to crash if I choose Info on any photo. Sometimes it loses photos I have imported. Sometimes it duplicates some photos in a folder.
I have tried restarting my Mac, have done disk diagnostics, have zapped PRAM, repaired permissions.... all sorts of things like that
A few weeks ago, I backed up my iPhoto library to another drive, then run a couple of the options in the Rebuild iPhoto Library menu. None of that helped.
I think there may have been a few other anomolies in the last few months, but the ones above are the things I can remember
Any help would be super kind of you. I am a Mac user since the very original 128k 1984 Mac. And I have figured out a lot of minor problems in all those years. This one seems so mysterious and intractable. And is really putting a kink in my use of the iPad.
Thanks in advance, Peter

didn't try the reboot but when I took my first picture wit the iphone camera then all photos showed up in 'photos' album along with 'camera roll'
