PhotosInfoPro and metadata on iPad

I didn't see it mentioned here as I struggled with metadata import and organization (I'm moving from Aperture to LR5).
But for those of you who use an iPad in the field this app is great. It's designed to edit metadata in RAW and JPEG files on the iPad and then to export that info. Of course the metadata isn't written to the RAW; it's exported as a sidecar XMP. Which is nice, since you can send all the XMPs to Dropbox. Or email or ftp them. You can also export JPEGs with the new metadata embedded. Not all the metadata can be edited, but for me the facility of using keywords and GPS data away from home is invaluable.
I have been using Photo Shack Pro, and it doesn't quite cut it in this regard. I think the HD version might do more, but the developer couldn't specify the difference so I passed.
Indirectly this app also helps me cull photos. I only generate XMPs for the files I want to keep. So when I'm done, I delete all the photos off the iPad and import the XMPs into a folder with the files I copy of my SD card. Then I also delete all the files that don't have an associated XMP. I can use the keywords and other metadata to then construct the folder structure from within LR. Very nice compared to Aperture (ironic: if Apple had better integration with an iPad in Aperture I might have stuck with it).

There are many articles that describe how to this on the web.

  • Itunes will not open and sync my Ipad after Imac update.  Why?

    I had a computer udate on my IMac yesterday and now I cannot get into my Itunes at all.  I have no access to my music or videos, but my pictures pop up when I plug in my Ipad to the IMac.  There is a message that comes up on my screen when I try to click into Itunes and it says; "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."   I'm not sure what to do to be able to get back into my Itunes and sync my Ipad to it.  Any suggestions?

    If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

  • Ok! so i tried updating my ipad 2 software to I.O.S 6.1 and it failed then continued to shut down and put the plug into itunes logo on my screen! I then i have been trying to update and restore my Ipad 2, then it says corrupt file and stops any advice?

Apple Corporation needs to fix what ever went wrong with IOS 6.1 update and they better do it soon or theyre going to have a mob on their hands!! i have been continuosly restoring and updating my iPad 2 and it always says corrupt file then restarts the whole process! im going out of my mind and im about to say to **** with it and call apple themselves and make so many complaints that theyll fix it within the hour or i will go to new york city at the head of the corporation and make the most skeptical and most embarrissing seen that they will end up ashamed to even be working for a company with the supposedly "SMARTEST AND BRIGHTEST TECHNOLOGICAL PEOPLE IN THE U.S." who cant even get a software update correct so that it doesnt make some of our lives harder then they need to be! and if its already known to be corrupt then should take it off the whatever update liost and fix it before anyone else has to go what ive gone through, cause its pure torcher!! i paid good money for a product for easy use whenever and thats not what im getting when they cant even make a simple update thats supposed to help but only makes my product worse and make me wanna never buy from them again!

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.

  • An embarrassment of riches - too many tablets! Should I consolidate and get an iPad Air?

    Currently I have the following tablets:
    - Nexus 7 2013 wifi only
    - iPad 2 32 GB wifi + cellular, but no longer in contract
    - iPad 1 wifi + cellular, no longer in contract
    - an extra iPad 1, also wifi + cellular, not in contract that I got for free for helping somebody with some computer stuff
    That same friend who gave me the iPad 1, wants to upgrade from his iPad 4th generation to an iPad Air, and he want to give me his 4th G iPad for free. It is a 64 GB wifi only model.
    The reason I never upgraded beyond the iPad 2 was because all the later models got thicker and heavier, and I thought my iPad 2 was already too heavy, which is why I got my Nexus 7. I hardly touch my iPad 2 these days. They are both within arm's reach, but the Nexus 7 is easier to hold, and allows voice input, which I often find convenient, and most of the time I reach for it. I like the voice input on my iPhone 5 too, and I feel like something is "missing" when I pick up my iPad 2. Plus it feels like it weighs a ton next to the Nexus 7.
    Well, anyway I have too many tablets. And soon I'll have the iPad 4th G. So I was thinking of selling the iPad 2, the two iPad 1s and the iPad 4 and getting an iPad Air, wifi + cellular with a data sharing plan with my iPhone 5. After all, compared to the iPad 2, the iPad Air is (1) lighter, (2) has Siri, (3) has a retina display, (4) has much better specs and (5) now the cellular model is universal, so if I take a trip to the U.S. it would be easier to use there.
    Yet there are things I now prefer about my Nexus 7 with Android 4.4 over iOS 7. Like it has better sharing features, the ability to send all kinds of attachments, more customization, better "hooks" into the UI from 3rd party apps, the ability to choose your own default mail apps and browsers. It seems just more flexible overall. And the Facebook app runs "smoother" than on my iPad 2.
    But I like iOS 7 too.
    I wonder if I would use an iPad Air any more than I do my iPad 2 since it is lighter than the recent iPads. The screen being larger might make reading magazines and news sites easier. And Siri is still better than the Android voice dictation in my opinion. Or will the weight and size actually keep driving me back to the Nexus 7?
    I guess I still haven't found the right place in my life for using a tablet for anything other than casual use. I don't want to get into a religious argument about whether tablets are production devices versus consumption devices, but basically I am in the camp that does not see them as true productivity devices. My iMac is for that.
    Conundrums, conundrums. I do have too many "devices" right now though. Within an arm's reach I can count 12 computers, tablets and phones all on wifi! Who needs that much stuff?!
    And if I do get the iPad Air, do I need 128 GB? The way they sell here in Japan, you don't put any cash down at all, and basically get an interest-free loan for 2 years. So "for just a few hundred yen more a month" you can go from the 32 GB model to the 64 GB model. And then "for just a few hundred yen more a month" you can go to the 128 GB model. It seems a waste not to get the 128 GB model. But in my current iPad 2 I only use a little more than half the current 32 GB.
    Decisions, decisions. Any thoughts?

    The weight is somewhat of an issue for me. I find the iPad 2 irritatingly heavy whenever I pick it up, and the iPad 4th generation is heavier even than my iPad 2.
    But for the amount I use it I could get used to that. That option is certainly the least headache, contract-wise, and I would avoid the ever-present possibility of dealing with AppleCare if something is "not perfect" (which it never is).
    I guess the only "practical" reason would be that I would be getting rid of all my iPads with a cellular option. So if I did make a trip to the U.S. in the spring, it would be harder to use the iPad 4. Here, in Japan, of course I could use the free tethering option on my iPhone 5.
    So I guess it is just the cellular option I'm giving up that is in the back of my mind.

  • Normal text messages to and from my iPad (through my iPhone 4S)!?

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • My iPad is disabled and won't connect to iTunes on any computer; I went to my iCloud and removed the iPad so it will erase all data when the iPad is connected to the internet (the original problem was a restrictions passcode we forgot)

    Here is the order of what I did to my iPad:
    1.  A restrictions passcode was put on and we couldn't remember it.  Despite numerous attempts at righting this, I couldn't. The iPad would not sync with any iTunes on any computer, Mac or PC.
    2.  I put a, 'use passcode after one minute' passcode on it and deliberately put in 10 wrong passcodes so it would disable the iPad.  Now it still will not connect to any iTunes.
    3.  I connected to my iCloud account and removed the iPad from the cloud; it says it will erase all iPad data when it connects to the internet.  I am fine with that, I need to know what to do now, though. iPad says, 'Connect to iTunes,' but it won't.  Please help this amateur of all amateurs!!

  • I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. when I open up itunes, it seems to just sit there, never going to itunes store. when I connect my ipad, I check update and it starts, but then I get this message:backup can't be saved on

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?

  • HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

    My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?  I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel.  I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes.  I have reset my photo stream.  Not sure what else to try...   I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa.  Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not.   Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.
