Is there a way to sync multiple photo locations with an iPad.

I have an iPad that I share with my girlfried.
I would like to sync both of our 'My Pictures' folders on our Windows 7 PC with the iPad.
I tired creating a new Windows user account for the iPad, then in the 'My Pictures' folder for that accout, I created a symbolic link to my 'My Pictures' folder and another symbolic link to my girl friends 'My Pictures' folder. The problem is that when this syncs to the iPad, the pictures on the iPad are not divided into serperate albums per sub folder. There are just 2 albums - one of my pictures and one of my girlfriends.
Can anyone think of a way to do this that would preserve the sub folders of both mine and my girlfiends pictures.
I suppose I could copy all of my pictures and my girl friends pictures into the iPad's user account on the PC, but this would waste a lot of hard disk space which I would rather not do.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I had a similar problem. If you create linked folders it will work. Use cmd.exe, go to the directory that iTunes syncs the pictures to the iPad from (using cd "pathname"). Then type
mklink /J "her pics" "c:\users\heraccount\My Pictures"
This makes a folder called "her pics" in the synced folder.
mklink /J "his pics" "c:\users\hisaccount\My Pictures" does the same for you.
Hope that helps.

    Unfortunately not if you use separate ID's for your iCloud accounts.

    There's always a catch
    Check the two sites I mentioned - you should be able to specify the 'freeware' category when performing/narrowing down your search.

  • Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
    There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
    Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina  file format that does.
    But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
    In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    Is there a way to sync my google calander with my iPhone/iTouch with itunes as you can sync contacts? or atleast how can i sync my google calander with iCal?

    That's not how it should work.
    As paulsalter noted, you should add Google calendar to your iCal on the Mac and Calendar app on iPad.
    If you sync the iPad calendar with iTunes, it would only get updated when you sync it.
    If you sync it with Google calendar, the iPad and the Mac will both get updated when you update one.
    To add Google calendar to yrou Mac, see this  -> Get Started with CalDAV - Sync with iCal
    Then add the Google calendar to your iPad.
    See this -> CalDAV: CalDAV Calendar Sync

  • Is there any way of syncing mail on mac with mail on iphone so if you open an email on one it is marked as read on the other?

    The title speaks for itself. It's very anoying opening a message on the iphone and when you get to the mac all the messages you read allready on the iphone are not opened yet. Is there any way of syncing them so if you open a mail in iphone its marked 'read' in mac?
    Thanks in advance

    Such behavior requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Sounds like you have a POP account & that's the way that POP accounts work. POP was designed for an age when users had only one device...a computer, thus POP doesn't play well in the modern world where users have multiple devices.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Is there a way to sync only the calendar with the new control panel?

    I did the iCloud control panel update on my work machines this morning and it looks like it will only sync the calendar with outlook if you let it sync your contacts and tasks as well. The main reason I use iCloud is to sync my work meetings/events between my work PC and my phone. It liked the way it worked before, but now the user has less control over what it syncs. Is there a way to sync the calendar only?
    Also, it's made outlook quit unexpectedly on both machines, but I assume they'll have bug fixes eventually. I'm running one machine with Office 2007 and one with 2010.

    The iCloud Control Panel 2.0, just release with iOS 6, forces users to upload Outlook contacts to iCloud in order to sync calendar and reminders with iPhone. This is unacceptable to me.  Because of this and bugs in the Outlook/iCloud plugin, I have discontinued use of iCloud and will sync my iPhone with Outlook using itunes. I will have to forego using Outlook task syncing with iPhone reminders because iTunes doesn't sync them, which is unfortunate.

  • Is there a way to sync word docs from MacBook to iPad?

    I've read through some forums about this but they all seem to be pretty old with a lot of back and forth about whether or not this is possible. I'm trying to see if there is a way to sync my word documents between my iPad and Macbook. I've tried pages but am not a fan and honestly have trouble transferring from a word doc to pages doc so I can edit it on my iPad then convert it  back from pages to word once I'm back on my Macbook and I have way too many documents to spend the time doing that and unfortunately they have to be in word.
    Anyway, just curious any help would be appreciated and please keep it friendly (I've seen a lot of bashing in these forums too)
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to send multiple photo attachments just from my iPad 2?

    I took a bunch of photos and am trying to figure out a way to attach them to my e-mail instead of just e-mailing them one at a time.  Is there a way?

    In thumbnail view in the Photos app you should be able to use the icon top right of the box with the arrow coming out of it to select up to 5 photos and then use the Share button top left to attach them to an email

  • Is there a way to use multiple canvas tags with the ToolKit for CreateJS for Flash in one HTML5 doc?

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction for solving this. I have created 5 short animations using Flash and when I published each ".fla " (with Toolkit for CreateJS extension) I get 5 different html5 files with their own respective javascripts. Is there a way to get all those canvas tags in one html5 file and still have it work. I'd love a hint on where to begin so I can begin researching the solution.
    Thanks!

    Why do you think that one will be over written?
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one computer.  Each is different and will only sync what you select.

  • Hi, is there a way to sync my iPod classic with my iPod touch without using a pc? I have also have an iPad2 if that can help??

    HI, I have an iPod touch with all my songs on it and also have a 5th gen classic which is connected to my car. My laptop died on me a while back and I replaced it with an iPad 2.  I now am unsure how I can keep updating my classic seeing as I no longer have a pc with iTunes on it?
    IS there a way I can continue purchasing music via my iPod touch/iPad and then sync them with my iPod classic for he car?  I don't really want to have to buy a new laptop just for iTunes!
    I have seen iTunes match being talked about and am wondering if this could be a solution, but again not sure how I will get new purchases on I the classic as its not wireless etc?!
    THanks in advance for any help.

    No.  You can sync content directly from an iPod to another iPod or iPad.  The content you wish to transfer needs to be in your iTunes library first.
