IPad Security on DCIM folder while device is locked

I am able to browse the DCIM folder through windows on iPad while the device is in a locked state with password. Because this is an enterprise environment, this is not acceptable. Is this how the device operates?

I am getting an error message that "no photos could be found on this device" when I plug in my ipad to my windows 8. I open the dcim folder and it shows up empty, although I clearly have photos on my ipad. I was able to do this just last week. HELP!

Help, I am trying to get my pictures from my ipad to my computer (windows 8) and I get the message that "no photos could be found on this device." When I try to open the dcim folder, it shows up empty. What can I do? I have previously been able to import pictures easily.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hi Centreless,
If you have difficulty with your iPad not being able to connect to iTunes in order to sync, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in this article -

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.

Why can I only view the DCIM folder?

Im trying to back up my music from my ipod to my windows 7 but when i go to the folders in the ipod i only see the DCIM folder and I noticed it's categorized as a digital camera... Is there anyway i can change this so i can move my songs back onto my computer?

Did you install iTunes? iTunes is the only way to back things up and sync content, unless your device is jailbroken. But that's a different story.
The reason why you only see the DCIM folder is mainly for security. You don't want a virus on your computer to mess around with the system files in your shiny iDevice, don't you? What you see instead is just a list of photos that you have saved from the internet or taken with the camera.

How can i change DCIM folder in my N8 belle?

Any ideas how to change the DCIM folder? Can i make the camera save in the images and the videos folderes as it was in s3^? I really dont like the way camera saves in the DCIM, photos are mixed with videos and there is no secondery folders arrangement.

@yzamara
AFAIK you can't as DCIM was supposed to bring it into line with other photo taking devices.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.

IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB. No problem with my iPhone. Anyone else with this problem? Any solution? (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it. Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link. So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Blank files in DCIM folder

I wanted to copy the photos / videos from the iPod Touch onto my PC's external hard drive. When I opened one of the folders, I noticed that there were 82 "files" that had no name, no extension, but all in the range of 700 - 740 kB each. They won't open.
What are they, and how to do I safely clear them from the device?

What shows under the Photos app on the iPod?
Can you delete them from the DCIM folder?
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.

What would you have done if you didn't have an iPad?
Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. The iPad is not designed to intended to be a backup storage device.
The transfer of photos from a computer to an iOS device via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer only - from the computer to the device. Photos are optimized for viewing on the device the photos are being transferred to - the original resolution of the photos is changed, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.

This is Linda again. The new iPad actually as not restored on my employees computer. I thought it was working. Message said the device is in recovery mode and can not be restored. I have been at the Apple store for a total of 6 hours and on the phone with support for at least 4 hours. And now the replacement has crashed??? Has this happened to any one else?

Can I make iPad Security Copies on Time Capsule?

Can I make iPad Security Copies on Time Capsule?

Sorry, I am not sure what a Security Copy might be, but if you are asking about backups, the iPad and other iOS devices back up to iTunes on your computer.
Then, if you have the computer setup to backup to the Time Capsule, the backups of the iPad are copied over from the computer.
So, the iPad backs up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
The iPad can also back up directly to iCloud if you prefer.
See this Apple support document for more details abut iOS backups.
