Issues Syncing Photos to PC from iPad with ios5 with Solution.

As far as transferring pictures TO your PC FROM the Ipad2 (in my case) with Windows 7, I have a done a lot of testing with the new IOS5. As far as I can tell, only pictures taken with the device can be uploaded. So pictures to the iPad using Dropbox; iCloud or services like that cannot be re-uploaded.
Having said that, it appears to me that syncing photos is a one-way sync operation, from the PC to the Ipad. I cannot get pictures taken on the Ipad to sync to the PC. I thought the camera roll was synching, but I was wrong. There is an 'IPOD Photo Cache' but there are no jpg's in there. I also took a photo with the IPAD and moved it to a new album with the new features of the Photo app. I then sync'd. This new album was NOT uploaded to my Pictures folder. The new IPAD IOS5 user guide does not even mention this. It only talks about the optional camera attachment kit.
I did some research and found this article:

This shows that you have to use Autoplay to upload your photos. I tested this and it works, but only from the camera roll and not from any created albums, so don't delete any photos from the camera roll until you have uploaded.
This goes against conventional wisdom of the sync process and surprised me. I always assumed my camera roll was syncing .. I never tested it!! Sync is also dangerous in that if you delete on the PC and resynch, it will be gone.
(Note sync may restore the camera roll in the event of a problem. I have not tried that. I am talking about making sure you can access them on the PC later, or in the event of an issue and you lose them).
Another knock against Apple .. how convoluted can they make it?
Another option is to use a service like DropBox to upload photos to your PC. iCloud claims to do it as well, but only 1000 photos (quite a lot I think) but only for 30 days and then they are gone. Make sure you transfer them out on your PC if you use this. Sync does not do it.
Dropbox is great, but one photo at a time.

With the .avi. you'll need to import the videos into itunes which will optimize them for the iPad (if the .avi's dont work, look into something like Handbrake, mpegstreamclip or format facory(pc only) to convert the video to mp4 or m4v files. Then try syncing them via the video/movie tab in iTunes.

  • Issues syncing photos to the new iPad

    I just got the new iPad and wanted to transfer all my pictures and videos from my windows 7 toshiba laptop.
    I connected with the setting sync all photos including video checked. The sync wouldn't transfer all photos and kept missing one album and none of the videos (avi format).
    I then changed to sync only selected and checked all the albums manually. However some of the photos appear to be corrupted. In the album view the right thumbnail appears. But when I click on it it changed to another picture.
    Also when I add new files to the Folders that have been marked for syncing and connect my iPad it doesn't update the album.
    What can I do to fix the corrupted images?

    Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line.  Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it.  It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

    You don't need to double post with the same question.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

    Hi there China2,
    If you are using Windows, then head to Windows Explorer, plug your device in, select your device and you can copy the images over from the device to any location on your computer as normal.
    On a mac, plug your device in, launch iPhoto, and click import.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan

  • I can't sync my iPhone with iOS5 with my Mac Book Pro for Wi-fi.

    I can't sync my iPhone with iOS5 with my Mac Book Pro for Wi-fi. The message error is: that's not compatible or something like this. But in the iPhone and the video of iOS 5 says that this it's possible. What can I do? Thanks for helping

    Might be easier to post numbers so other people with exact same settings can compare directly.  Also helps to post screenshots before and after getting the error.

  • Issue Syncing photos from PC to Ipad 2

    I am trying to sync photos from my PC to my Ipad2.  All my albums that were already on have disappeared somehow.  Now when I try to replace them two issues are happening:
    A message pops up that says "poer 3b" was not copied...
    It syncs an album but seems to be limiting me to 4 albums.  When I try to add any it delets one that is there.
    Help!

    How are you trying to sync them ? If you are trying to do them one or two at a time then you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including them in a subsequent sync is how you remove them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).
    If you are getting an error message when trying to sync them (e.g. file could not be copied, file not found) then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

    How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

    When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
