Is there a way to transfer photos from a mini ipad to an external hard drive?

I'm looking to back up my photos and was thinking of getting an external hard drive, is there a way to transfer from mini ipad to an external hard drive? Or... Is there a better/simpler way of backing photos up? Thanks!

It's a great idea to back up your photos. Connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with. Instead of starting iTunes start the image capture software you use with your camera. That software will allow you to copy photos taken with your iPad or copied using the Camera Connection Kit or copied from websites or emails to your computer.
Once on your computer you can back them up to an external hard drive. Having your photos in more than one location is also a good idea.

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
1. with the help of any android app
2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
I did try some of the options:
1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
Thank you!

If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

How to transfer photos from a MAC to a USB external storage drive?

How to transfer photos from a MAC to a USB external storage drive?

Just the Photos? Or the Library?
If it's the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export -- https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive

What's the easiest way to transfer photos from PC to ipad? I've tried using itunes, but adding more photos erases photos already loaded. Help!

How to transfer photos from PC to ipad without erasing photos already loaded. The only option I find in itunes is to synch, which only transfers into one album on the ipad. I'm sure I'm just missing an easy step. Transferring photos from PC to android is a snap, can't be this hard with ipad.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I am not able to transfer pictures from my Iphoto file to my external hard drive. When I drag and drop to the external hard drive, I get the universal circle with a line through it.????

For some reason, my computer will not let me drop my pictures from the Iphoto location to my external hard drive.

The drive is formatted for Windows. To write to it from a Mac, you will either have to reformat it or install third-party software to enable writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

Is there a way to transfer photos from a ipad to storage without a computer

I will be travelling oversea's and will use my ipad mini (with 30gb free space) to store photos from the SD memory cards from my camera. The ipad will be used to edit the photo's whilst travelling. As I will be shooting in RAW the photos will take up a considerable amount of memory (800 photos per 64gb) Is there a way to transfer the photos to the ipad to edit and then save all the photo's to an external portable hard drive or cloud to free up the space on the ipad mini for more photos to be transferred for editing.

I have all my old photos from my PC on a Maxtor external hard drive. How can I transfer them from this to my Macbook Air?

I'd like to transfer my old photos from my PC which are stored on a Maxtor external hard drive to my Macbook Air. Is there an easy way of doing this? I don't know if the Maxtor hard drive is Windows specific or if it's compatible with Mac. Anyone know?

It should be fairly simple. The Maxtor should be recognized as "read only" since it's formatted for windows. Connect it and in iPhoto select, iPhoto > File > Import to Library.. > Point to your external hd.

I want to transfer most of my photos from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I have been getting the message that my start up disk is almost full. I want to transfer and then remove them from my computer and have them only stored externally.

My start up disk needs more space and I have tons of photos on my computer that I want to transfer to my external hard drive and remove from my computer to free up space. How can I do this and make sure all my photos are still properly saved and transferred. I dont need to transfer my whole iPhoto library just some really old albums.

Here is some help.

After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space.

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

Is there a way to transfer photos from an iPhone 4S to a flash drive (via MacBook, of course)? There are way more photos in iPhoto than just what is on my phone, and I really just want to have a flash drive of "iPhone 4S photos."

I know how to move things from iPhoto to a flash drive, but I'm hoping there is a simpler way to get the photos from my phone to a flash drive, because there are so many photos in iPhotos that I don't need on the flash drive.
Thanks

There isnt a simple way. You could create a whole new libaray, move all your pictures to that, then move the libaray to a flash drive.
From what you have said, can you not just create an album/event and move all your iPhone photos into that. That would seperate it from the rest of your content, then as part of that process delete all the photos imported off of your iPhone..... just an idea

Is there really no way to transfer photos from PC to ipad

Forgive my ignorance. Im coming from a Android Tablet. I went and got the new iPad specifically for iPhoto and the high resolution screen..
I have over a TB of Canon raw files in lightroom on a Win7 PC. What would be the EASIEST way to get a days worth (3GB) onto to the ipad to edit with iPhoto? I was under the impression I could drag and drop the files but that seems to be a nogo as the DCIM folder is read only in Explorer..
I dont want to use "sync" in iTunes because I dont want a synched static set of files . i want to swap out the files i have on the ipad as I process them.
The fastest way I done it so far is to use dropbox and email. Needless to say this is a chore especially when I have the PC, a cord and the ipad right here in front of me.
I hope this isnt a convoluted question but I am somewhat stunned that there isnt a simple way to do this. Am I missing something?

Your right in that there is no way to simply copy them to the iPad.
Option 1:
In iTunes, after choosing your iPad under devices on the left, click the Apps tab. Towards the bottom under File Sharing you'll see iPhoto listed there. Clicking on that icon and then you can drag and drop into the Document box, or click Add and select them.
Option 2:
Camera Connection Kit will allow you to tramsfer the files directly from the camera to Ipad.
Your biggest disappointment though is going to be the fact that iPhoto for iOS does not read RAW images. You can get them on the device but what you will be looking at is the small jpeg embedded in the RAW file. How big this is depends on the camera and at least on Canon cameras cannot be user changed.
Secondly, when you do finish editing the image in iPhoto it will save the 'new' image as a new jpg. It does not create any sort of sidecar file of the changes made so there isn't any way for Lightroom to read those edits. If you wanted the 'new' picture in Lightroom you would have to import it, and it will be a small jpeg.
It sounds like what you really want is some sort of iOS version of Lightroom. PhotoSmith is the most powerful one I know of on iOS but it isn't even close.

I'm pretty sure there's one or the other in most US households.
That being said, as Thom_D said, there's no need to post your full name and location in any public forum.
I've asked the mods to remove that personal info.
