Photo transfer IMac to IPad

When syncing my photo albums from the IMac to the IPad, the vertical photos rotate to the horizontal. I had 260 photos on the album. I also have 17000 photos on the IPad, but I have 11.1 gb space remaining. How do I prevent this from happening?

With iTunes. Go to your iPad>Photos and check "Sync Photos" and either select all or select the ones you want.

Transfer photos from iMac to iPad

Hi Guys - can someone tell me an easier way to transfer photos from iMac to iPad.
Perhaps I've misunderstood, but this is the process I currently go through
create folder called "iPad photos" on desktop
create event called "iPad transfer" on iphoto
copy and paste items from iPhoto to desktop folder
when complete, drag photos from desktop to iphoto
then move the resultant "untitled event" to merge with "iPad transfer"
sync iPad with ONLY "iPad transfer"
This works. However, I've then got exactly TWICE the number of digital photos in iPhoto !
I have the originals, and then the duplicates imported BACK into the iPad transfer folder - so obviously I'm using up valuable memory.
Can someone suggest a simpler more efficient way ?
Many thanks.

I'm guessing that you are going through all of those steps because you have photos in a number of different events that you want to copy to the iPad and that those events also include photos that you don't want to go to the iPad?
Two options to consider:
1) Create an Event for photos that you want to move to the iPad and move all of the photos from where they currently are into that Event. This has the advantage of grouping all of the photos into one Event but the disadvantage that they are no longer in the Event where you may have wanted them for other reasons.
2) What I do. Use the iPhoto "Album" feature. A photo inside iPhoto can be in one Event and in one or more Albums without occupying any more space. Create an Album (iPhoto File menu New Album) and name it something like "iPad Photos". If you desire you can create additional Albums and drag them onto the main Album to create sub-albums one level deep for better organization. Then simply drag photos from Events to the desired Album and they will be in both places. Then when you sync, select the Album (e.g. "iPad Photos") to sync.

How to transfer old photos from iMac to iPad using iCloud Photo Library

iMac with Yosemite, iPad with iOS 8.1. New photos taken on any device are shared automatically with all other devices. But, older photos on iMac are not being shared with iPad or iPhone. The options to synch selected photos on iMac with iPad don't seem to be there any more now that iCloud Photo Library is enabled on iPad.
I imagine that iCloud Photo Library's capabilities only apply to new photos. Is there a way to move old photos over for viewing on other devices?

John,
You can share selected photos to your Photo Stream, if you enable the iCloud features, or create an album of the selected photos and transfer them using iTunes Photo sync.
For iCloud see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
For iTunes see: iTunes: Syncing photos
Or, simply mail them in high quality and save them from your Mail to your camera roll, if it are only a few photos.
Regards
Léonie

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

How to export photos from iMac to iPad.

I have a 3 year old iMac & iPad 4. I have read the discussions and the very limited iPad manual. These pictures are in my iMac not on an SD card or in my camera. They were imported to my iMac from a CD. I read about syncing and starting iTunes etc. I need STEPS & what device you start iTunes on etc. None of the discussions state this. So getting my pics from my iMac to iPad I need to do .........? Thanks

Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on "Sync Photos from" and then select the folder where your pictures are located - usually on the Mac in iPhoto. However, you can choose any folder from the drop down menu in the Sync Photos From heading that you want to use.
Click on any albums within that main photos folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If all of your photos are in one folder on the Mac, you will not have any sub folders to sync.

HT4623 ipad 1 photo transfer to the Ipad

My Ipad 1 I would like to use as a photo book to show folks albums. I cannot load photos back to the Ipad. Photo stream doesn't seem to work when I share from another device

Thanks to all for letting me know the info.
But it's crazy that older ipads are not privileged for the latest OS. It's one thing for h\w tech to not keep up with the latest app's load, but just for the heck of it, keeping at bay the older ipads with new OS is outright greed on part of Apple.
Unless, there is some hardware deficiency of older ipads that they can't handle ios 7.
Thank myself for at least buying an Android phone, instead of getting caught in this overpriced Apple products hype.

Photo transfer, SD to iPad

I would like to know how to transfer photos from an SD card into my iPad. I have the SD card in the appropriate camera connection kit reader, and that is attached to my iPad, but I don't see how to find and transfer the photos.

If you attach the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad, and then insert an SD card, the photos on the SD card should download automatically. I think the iPad presents you with a menu of "Import All" or something like that. Are you sure you made all the connections securely? Also, you may want to do a soft reset on your iPad just to be sure. To do that, hold the On/Off and Home buttons in simultaneously until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

HT201302 how to copy a folder of photos from imac to ipad

I have a folder of photos on my imac and would like to put them on my ipad , can someone tell me how to do this? thanks

There's no way to copy photos directly (e.g., via the Finder, if that's what you were hoping). Instead:
1 - Import them into iPhoto (or Photos.app if you upgrade to 10.10.3).
2 - Create a photo album containing all your pictures
3 - Use iTunes to sync your iPad, after telling iPad which photo albums you want to sync

Photo transfer to my ipad

I can´t get my mac photos into my new ipad2 I checked all the tutorials about that but no solution....... It tells me that a configuration problem of them cant make them go into the ipad, but the thing it´s that 2 of them get transfered..... No clue about this thing....

Put your photos in separate folders on your PC (with the folders off the same parent folder) - you should then be able to sync those folders (together in one sync) and each should get their own album on the iPad. You have to sync all the folders together as only the contents of the most recent remains in the iPad - not including a folder in a subsequent sync is how you delete the folder/album from the iPad.

Photo transfer PC to iPad via SD card not always successful.

Frequently jpeg files I have copied from my PC onto an SD card are not recognized by iPad Photos using the Apple accessory. I am downloading onto the card each file individually and not as a folder. Any ideas please?

Are you creating a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension ?

Can't download photos from iMac to iPad.

I have my iPad connected to my iMac. When I bring up iTunes on the mac, it does not show the iPad under devices. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Ralph,
I was too quick in responding. I had to leave the machine and now I'm back. I followed your advice and went to the VIEW menu and clicked Show Sidebar. What shows is Library, Store, Genius and Playlists - no iPad. I do have iTunes 11. Another suggestion? By the way, when I click on File and then Devices, hte Sync Don's iPad is not lit up and I'm unable to invoke that. Perhaps that will provide a clue for you. Don

Why won't my photos transfer to my ipad mini

hi all, I have just purchased a camera cable for my IPad mini retina. When I connect my camera to my ipad,I get the photos appear in the download screen. I select the pictures I want to download and the click download. the process starts but nothing gets downloaded and I don't get a pop up window asking if I want to save the pics either. I have just paid £20 for this little cable !!!! Here's hoping someone has an idea what's wrong.

OK, I am not 100% sure why this is happening...
You can try giving this a read to see if it helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4101

Old Mac Pro with 7.0 iPhoto transferred selected photo albums to my iPad. New iMac with iPhoto 11.0 will not transfer photo albums to my iPad. Why not?

I just purchased the new iMac with the latest iPhoto. Transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac Pro. Upgraded iPhoto app and then tried to transfer photo albums to my iPad. New iPhoto will not allow transfer of selected albums, while old iPhoto did allow me to sync my selected albums to my iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

I do not have Last 12 Months selected. I also do not have Events or Faces or any of those newer designations selected. I have literally thousands of photographs in iPhoto, which is why I keep the select, special few hundred or so I want on my iPhone in very specific albums. These are the albums I select to sync. However, not all of the photos in these albums are uploading to my iPhone. They were on my iPhone and synced perfectly fine until the switch to the new laptop this weekend. All files were migrated to the new laptop, and all files are there and viewable on iPhoto. Something is causing some of the photos not to sync. That is what I need assistance with....
