Missing photos in Photos on ipad 2

I have an iPhoto library of 7500 pics stored in the shared folder on my imac so that my wife's iphone 4 and my new ipad 2 can both access them from our separate accounts. Both the devices are now running iOS5. ALL of the photos appear in iPhoto and on the iphone but there are many images that don't appear on my ipad - they just show as empty rectangles. Seven albums were totally missing. I've tried numerous things including:
I updated the ipad to the latest OS (iOS5) - the 7 albums appeared but were all empty.
I did some research then repaired and rebuilt the iphoto library - some of the missing photos appeared but some existing photos in other albums disappeared!
I dumped the ipod photo cache (in iphoto folder) - no difference.
I edited the missing images within iPhoto - This had a limited degree of success as many of the images reappeared (but not all), but I have noticed a factor that links the problem pics, they were all taken in raw on my relatively new Nikon D90. I didn't import them as raw, I converted them to jpeg in photoshop first, and they all show fine in iPhoto and the iPhone, but not the iPad!
Ideas anyone?

I've done some more testing, and it would appear that iPhoto is at least partly to blame, I have to modify the imported images in some way in iPhoto before the ipad will recognise them, but even with these mods, they're still not all importing!

  • Missing photos in iPad after syncing

    Using Photos, with REFERENCED files. Syncing ALL 5500 photos to my iPad. All albums are present in iPad but SOME albums are missing some photos. All in all, my Photos Library on my mac contains 5500 photos, and the list of photos on my iPad contains 4800 (missing 700 photos). No error message. When syncing in iTunes, I see photos going b: 1 of 5500, 2 of 5500... up to 4800 of 5500, then the progress bar jumps to completion instantly and the syncing stops normally.
    I did a sync to iPad with zero photo and a resync with Photos (success, as expected) to start afresh. Same error.
    I did a sync to a different iPad. Got a slightly different result, but still missing a few hundred photos.
    No iCloud syncing involved.
    Please?

    The problem seems to be "self healing". I did 4 syncs in a row without success last weekend (always missing the same number of photos), but a few days later, one more sync, and now an additional several hundred photos are being transferred. I think I have them all now. Waving a dead chicken over the computer, while dancing, does work.

  • Is there a way to recover missing imported photos to IPad 3??

    I imported 1500 photos to my I Pad today, now they are gone, They were saved in my imported folder and now they are gone. Is there any way to recover these missing photos? IPad 3

    You can restore from your iTunes or iCloud Backup if you have one.

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • Missing Photos in Photo Stream

    I take pictures with my iPhone 4s and they go to my iPad just great but I only get about 50% of them to my MacBook Pro.  They are radomly not there.  There will be five or six that are there then 5 or 6 that are black no photo.  All the warythrough the 200 photos I took on my latest trip?  Is there any reason for this random messing up of photos?  Is there anyway of getting them on the MacBook short of syncing my iPhone 4s through iPhoto?  I am not liking this Photo Stream right now to many missing photos.
    Thanks
    Pat

    Never mind, figured out the solution turn off Photo Stream in iPhoto them turn back on and all the pictures are there.

  • How do I remove a photo from iPad camera roll taken by the camera?

    How do I remove a photo from iPad air camera roll taken by the camera?

    I took 2-3 hundred pics on my trip with my iPad mini and have downloaded them to iPhoto.  How can I get rid of them on my iPad now...do I have to do it one picture at a time?   When I first downloaded them iTunes asked if I wanted to delete them from my iPad and I foolishly said no.  Am I now forced to do it them one at a time or is there a setting I am missing that will do it?  They are using all of my memory!!

  • Sync photos from ipad to iphoto

    OK - here is my problem.
    First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
    Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album.   So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
    Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application.   I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
    I cannot figure out how to do the third thing.   I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac.  The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
    Can anyone figure this out?

    Alex, any response from Apple?
    The only solution to this I can think of:
    1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
    2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
    3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
    Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
    So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself.  <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
    I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
        https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
    returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them.

  • Aperture library corrupted - have photos on iPad; how to get them back on my Mac?

    My Aperture library became corrupted after a Time Machine restore. For some reason, half the photos are missing and videos are all scrambled.
    I still have my complete Aperture library on my new iPad (in iPhoto for iOS). Does anyone know if there is a way to get the photos off my iPad and back onto my Mac so I can restore my complete library? I will never rely on a Time Capsule for Aperture backups again, learned my lesson!

    deepey,
    have you tried the usual trouble shooting after restoring your Aperture Library from Time Machine? If you invested a lot of work into your Aperture library I would try first to fix this, before giving up on it.
    If your Aperture Library is referenced you probably need to reconnect the missing masters (select the images with missing masters and select File->locate referenced file).
    If your Library is managed, the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools "(repairing permissions and repairing/rebuilding the library) may help, see Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Transfer from the iPad (sorry, I do not have an iPad available right now to try it, only an iPod): Do you have Photo Stream enabled? You can transfer via PhotoStream or use the sync cable - Aperture can see the iPad as a camera and import like from a camera, see: Re: Importing photos on iPad to Aperture

  • Photo stream has missing photos?

    I have photo stream up and running on many devices, and was working fine for years?, then just recently I have had only 200-300 of my photo stream photos showing up on my iOS devices.  All 1000 photos are in my photo stream in iPhoto, but most of them are missing from my the feed on my devices, iphone, ipads ect.  I didnt change any settings, and I can't find any settings to limit the photos.  Help

    Are the missing photos older photos or random photos.

  • Organising/Syncing photos between iPad & folder on Mac mini

    Hi folks.
    Hoping somebody out there can help, though judging by the sheer volume of complaints I've seen here with similar problems, I'm not too hopeful...
    Trying to keeping my problem simple & to the point here:
    1) I regularly import photos (which I have painstakingly re-named) from a designated sync folder on my Mac mini, via iTunes
    2) No matter what I've re-named my photos, they are obviously not organised by name when viewed in the 'Photos' app on my iPad3. From what I have read, apparently they are displayed by modified date... (VERY helpful Apple!!! Not).
    3) Following some tips here, I purchased 'Photo Manager Pro'. However, when I import the photos from an album on my iPad, into 'Photo Manager Pro', all the file names are different, so using its extra organising options is hopeless, as my original filenames are gone! Now, are my photos being renamed from the initial sync between iPad and Mac mini (via iTunes), or between the import between iPads 'Photos' app and 'Photo Manager Pro'???
    So my question(s) are:
    A) When you sync photos between a chosen folders on a Mac, and the iPad (via iTunes), are the files renamed when transferred to the iPad? If they are, is there a way to retain the original names?
    B) Why are the filenames shown within 'Photo Manager Pro' different to the ones I named/imported? (i.e. should say 2013_06_12.JPG, but instead will show, IMG145.JPG for example). Is this a fault of Photo Manager Pro, or the initial Mac/iPad photo sync process?
    C) Is there any way I can EASILY do something as simple as wanting to import photos into iPad, WITHOUT have to use iPhoto to organise things so they at least display in the correct order? (Sorry Apple fans, I do NOT like iPhoto, and want to keep it out of my work-flow...)
    ANY help or advice would be truly appreciated, as I'm soooo close to giving up on my iPad now. Something as utterly simple as this should not be so complicated to work around, surely?! On the iPad I miss the drag & drop conveniance of Finder on the Mac, and the ability to just simply hit a menu button and organise things they way I want to see them (being as I own and paid for the gear!). I am stunned it is so 'messy' on the iPad...
    Thanks muchly folks.
    - John

    This can be done but its a bit tricky.
    If you want to retain files names when importing photos into photo manager pro you need to use iTunes not the "photos" app.
    1) open itunes
    2) click the iPad button
    3) Apps tab
    4) at the bottom of the pane look for "File sharing"  select the PhotoMgrPro icon
    5)  the the pane next to it should now be called "PhotoMgrPro Documents. Click the add button.
    6) Slect the desired images for import, click "add."
    I need to manage multiple large collections of sales photos in PhotoMgrPro and I found that importing one collection at a time was the easyest way to manage.
    7) Open PhotoMgrPro
    8) create a new folder
    9) Open it and then click the import button on the bottom left.
    10) Select itunes.
    11) import. ( original file names should be intact )
    12) the images should remove themselves from the itunes que after import.
    13) repeat

  • How can I transfer photos from ipad 1 to pc

    I have an ipad 1 - ios 5.1.1
    I want to transfer the photos on the ipad to a windows 8 pc.
    Should be a really simple operation - yes? wrong.
    After visiting 30+ webpages, downloading various 3rd party software (and deleting them again) - I am still unable to transfer photos from my ipad to a windows pc.
    I connect the ipad 1 to a pc using cable.
    PC shows ipad.
    Then you get the option to import photos (Which 20+ websites just repeat).
    Contained in the DCIM Folder is 2 thumbnail photos. Yes - just 2. Two.
    Stored on the ipad is nearly 3,000 photo's. NOT 2!
    So how do you move photos from an ipad to PC?
    Next problem.
    Someone recommended using Syncios - wonderful.
    All photos found.
    All photos copied - except they are copied as thumbnails.
    It would seem that ipad stores your photos as a thumbnail - but when you email the photo the true size is sent. (Thumbnail is 11kb - when I attach the same photo to an email it shows it as 1.1mb)
    So - apart from creating and sending 3000 emails - so that I can transfer photos at their original resolution - HOW DO YOU TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM IPAD 1 TO A PC.
    Apple really couldn't have made a 30second operation more difficult - or deliberately impossible.
    There is NO option to do this via iTunes.
    I can transfer photos from a PC to iPad using iTunes - but not the other way around.
    So - please - does anyone have a degree in astro-physics that can explain how a person is supposed to transfer full sized photos, that are stored as thumbnails - from an iPAD 1 to a Win 8 pc?
    ps... and yes I am irritated. This has taken me 2 days so far, and still unable.
    pps... and no, I really don't need people posting - oh yes I have the same problem... I need answers.

    HHow did the photos get on your iPad? since the original iPad does not have a camera, the photos were either received in emails, copied from the web or synced from your computer. If they were copied from emails or the web they should be available to copy off the iPad using whatever Camera or image capture application you have on your computer. Connect your iPad, start the application and transfer the photos.
    if the photos were synced from your computer, they should still be on the computer used to sync from.

  • How do i transfer photos from ipad to MacBook Pro about 100

    After update to yosemite i have about 150 photos that are on my ipad and not on MacBook Pro.  Is there a way to sync the photos from ipad to computer

    I did sync thro iTunes so will have to import them where i can find them...yuck
    The synced photos should be in an album in the "Albums" tab of your iPod.
    As long as you did not transfer  the synced photos to your computer do on no account activate "iCloud Photo Library Beta" on your iPad. That will wipe all synced photos from the iPad.
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    Email them from the device to yourself.
    Copy them from the emails to your computer.

  • When I'm streaming photos to ipad from my PC, those will be in a streamed area. They do not show up in "pictures", and I'm not able to put them into an album. I'm using icloud. Are there any solutions of my problem?

    I would like to make an album at my Ipad. The first pictures I transfered, did get into "pictures", and I could make a photo album. Later I did get them into streamed areas, but they did not get any ways to make an album. They did not apply to "pictures", and when I make an album and tries to import the pictures, the streamed pictures do not show up. What can be done?

  • Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView

    I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
    Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
    After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
    Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
    5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
    Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
    Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?
