Problem getting photo library off iPad

I wiped my hard drive. I backed up my iPhoto library to a friend's computer. But when I put it back on mine it came over wonky. I used iphoto library manager and extracted the photos but only got some of the pictures. How can I take the photo library from my iPad and put it on my Macbook Pro? All the photos were synced prior to the hard drive wipe.
*Not talking about the camera roll photos.

There are iPad apps such as Simple Transfer that should be able to copy them off the iPad to your computer via your wifi network - but as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any photos that you copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer

Problem getting photos into an iPad Air

I plug my previously working Apple Camera Adapter (holding SD card containing photos) into an 30-pin/lightning adapter and this assembly into my iPad Air (model MD786B/A) - but photos now don't show up to be transferred. So how do I get photos into the iPad from an SD card ?

1. Was the SD card used in a camera and is that how the photos got onto the card?
2. Did you previously use the 30 pin SD Card Adapter with the 30 pin to Lightning Adapter successfully?
The SD card readers (either 30 pin to SD Card adapter or the Lighting to SD Card Camera Adapter) are designed to be used with SD cards that have been formatted and used in a camera. The iPad expect to see a specific organization of the photos. First there must be a folder named DCIM. In side that folder photos must have specific naming structure. IMG_xxxx.jpg is correct where xxxx refers to a four digit number.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

Try here:
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

How do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

how do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

You can extract the drive; put it into an external enclosure to mount it to another computer by USB or FireWire (if available) to acess the files. Copy and paste (Windows-style) or drag and drop (Mac-style) to another destination-- another external HDD or another computer.

Getting photos from my ipad back to my Mac that are NOT in camera roll.

Our hard drive failed and my back up files were corrupt so I lost my entire digital life including my iphotos. I had set up my ipad to sync several folders from iphoto to my ipad when I did an itunes sync. All of these photos and folders are currently viewable on my ipad. When I plug the ipad in to sync, i can only transfer the photos that are currently in the camera roll (355 photos) There are 5000 photos on the ipad via the folders I previously synced.
How do I get these photo back to my mac? Is it even possible?
Image caputer doesn't work because it only looks at the photos in the camera roll (ie taken by the ipad).
To sum up: Basically starting with a new mac and trying to get photos from the ipad back on the mac.
Thank You!

If you have iPhoto on your iPad, you can save the photos back to the camera roll: you can select complete albums or events at once to do that.
Save photos to the Camera Roll on your iOS device
Tap a photo, album, or event and tap > Camera Roll.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save:
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap up to 100 photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Tap Done.
To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
For other sharing options from iPhoto see: Ways to share photos
But a third-party app, like Terence Devlin suggested wll probably quicker and safer, since you have 5000 photos to transfer.
my back up files were corrupt
Have you tried data recovery software on your backup drive? Software like
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
might still be able to restore jpeg files at least.

Since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload?

since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload? anyone else havie this problem? I did finally get a message that the format was wrong, but I have changed nothing on my camera. Only change was the installing of LION.

This is from the Kodak site which says there is no Lion compatible driver/software yet, but it is coming in late August:

Problem getting photos

I insert my card reader into the USB port. The path for the photos is into my C: drive. The pictures are successfully shown in Organizer and in fact are in the C: drive. Now comes the problem; I click on each photo in Organizer, and Elements 6 cannot locate the file. When I did a metadata on the picture it shows a different path, into my H: drive which is my external hard drive where my photos are backed up. As you can imagine, I will be happy to hear the solution so I thank you in advance.

I took a screen shot placed it into wordpad but was not able to copy and paste into this email.
What appears is as you have below with the exception of the first line "C:>volumeid c: 66de-00da" and the last line "Volume ID for drive c: updated to 66de-00da"
On the command line I enter the path and "volumeid h: f828-50df g: 595b-27b7" and I get the response as I've just described.

Subject: Problem getting photos
When you type the command:
volumeid h: F828-50DF
what exactly is the response? It should look similar to:
C:>volumeid c: 66de-00da
VolumeID V2.01 - Set disk volume id
Copyright (C) 1997-1999 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals - http://www.sysinternals.com
Volume ID for drive c: updated to 66de-00da
If it doesn't, either type in the exact response or post a screen shot.
I forgot to mention that in c:\windows the file appears as volumeid and not volumeid.exe.
That's because your Windows Explorer is configured (by default) to not show the extensions (e.g. ".exe"). It shouldn't matter.
Next I have been attempting to run the psedbtool which is still on my desktop.
You need to use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder c:\psedbtool and then double-click "run.bat" (which may show up as simply "run").

I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
Thanks!

OK....I'm stumped. The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account. Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

How to delete photo library off iphone 5s

I only have 221 photos saved on my 32 GB iPhone 5s, but in Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage it shows that 8.9 GB are being used by 'Photos & Camera'!
Of that, 'Photo Library' is taking up 8.8 GB of space and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I went into iTunes and removed the check mark on 'Sync photos',, then re-synced my phone, but that didn't do it. How do I remove the 'Photo Library' from my phone? That's an awful lot of memory usage for what appears to be nothing.
Thanks for any advice you can provide!

How to manage my photo library on iPad

Hi, I've been traveling and now i have a few GB's of photos to select. It would be easier for me to import and select these photos on my iPad
and then an then export them to my library. My photo library its stored on a PC.
I've been testing the best way to it but i'm in a dead end. Already tried with Google drive but i'm not able to work offline.
Do you have any sugestion
Thanks in advance!

In order to be able to delete them on iPad e need to copy them to a new album. Then when I sync againg my expectation is that this new album gets sync to iTunes... but it's not

Sync problem with photo library

Hello,
I am not sure to post this question here, but since it happens with my apple tv i hope to be in the good section.
Most of the time when i start iTunes fresh and i want to sync my apple tv, which start at starting up iTunes, i get a error that it could not find the photo library.
When i go to the photo library tab i indeed see no events, or pictures at all. When i start up iPhoto and i look again, the problem is solved, but the worst thing is at has to resync my comleet photo library. This also happens with my iPod.
First i thought it was a update wich i was waiting for, but now, since the last 08 and 10.5 update and still no progress i hope somebody could help me out.
Thank you in advance
Edgar

That really sounds like ownership and/or permissions.
While everything is working properly, can you do a "Get Info" on the iPhoto Library in the Finder and write down what it says about ownership and permissions?
Then when it misbehaves, look again and see if it has changed?
Unfortunately, my library lives on a networked drive, so the ownership may be different. But in case it's useful, here's what mine says about the iPhoto Library folder:
Owner: system (read & write)
Group: wheel (read & write)
Others: (read & write)
Hmm, that got me thinking, so I purposely created a new library on my MacBook HD (note that I am running 10.4.11). Its permissions are:
Owner: {my username} (read & write)
Group: {my username} (no access)
Others: {blank} (no access)
