Transfer photos after already having synced from a different iTunes

Here is the current situation:
I had a bunch of photos on a PC
I synced these photos to my iPad through iTunes on the PC
The PC died and there's no way to get the photos back
I have a Mac that I want to sync the photos from the iPad (now the only copy of the photos) down to.
How do I do this?  So far it seems as though any images synced from the original PC don't exist from the Mac's perspective (though the photos are still clearly on the iPad).
What do I do?

No backup of the computer?
You will need a 3rd party app to get the photos off the iPad.
Search for 'transfer photos from iPad to computer'.
Note that photos sync'd to the iPad are not the original resolution as they were on the computer.
iTunes "optimizes" them to 2304 x 1536 (~3MP). so you do not get the same photo quality as you had with the original photos on your computer.

  • I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos

    I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

    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.)

    Photos than came from computer will need to be uncheck on computer then do a sync to delete.
    You can only delete photos from your Camera Roll directly.

  • Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

    Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

    Two ways:
    1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
    Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
    The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

  • Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    From what I can tell this is a bug.
    A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
    When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
    Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
    If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

  • Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook).

    Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook). They show in my iTunes but are grey so can't click on them. I need to put voice memos on a CD. Can someone help please?

    First of all what PC type do you have, then what IOS are you running and finally what  Itunes are you running.
    Oh and if this helps, check it out how to upload voice memos from iphone to iMac.

  • Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found."  CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

    Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
    "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found." 
    CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

    I have the same problem.  I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'.  I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in.  I have seen no fix for this problem.

  • My iTunes just started like I've never used it before clearing all 7000 songs and playlists. My ipod said it's synced to a different iTunes?? HELP!!

    Someone please help!! I just started my computer and opened iTunes and it looks like a brand new iTunes that's never been used before. All of my 7000 songs and all playlists are gone. When I tried to sync my iPod it says it's synced to a different iTunes. What do I do??

    I have a similar problem - transferred from an older iPad to a newer one.
    Once over the hurdle of the backup being encrypted with a password that was never set, the new iPad thinks it is synced with a library on another computer that will not be up to date (it was an old backup made on the original device).
    Some of the backup information has not fully restored the new iPad to the same state as the old one - if I connect and sync to the computer with the older library, will this;
    a) erase any data - i.e. should I not automatically sync?
    b) will it recover the missing data - or is it 'lost'?
    c) will it always require synching to this library - I intend for the device to be synched with another PC because it is faster and more convenient - this is the one where the backup and restore has been carried out rather than waiting for an iCloud sync.
    The old iPad has already been reset - will this process have to be completed from scratch again? i.e. is there a way of divorcing the old iPad from it's old library then backing up and getting a full transfer.

  • Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

    Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

    Hello JLGBone,
    It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:

    Any items that are not purchased from the iTunes Store will need to be re imported to the iTunes library manually.

  • Is it possible to load an IPAD from two different ITune accounts?  When I try it says it'll delete all the other account first.

    Is it possible to load an IPAD from two different ITune accounts?  When I try it says it'll delete all the other account first.

    This is correct.
    Ipad wilol sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • Can't see photos after iphone is synced

    after downloading and installing Itunes 10.5, I did the software upgrade (os5).  My phone was backed up and then it asked me if I wanted to restore as a new phone or from backup from the computer.  I selected backup from computer (windows XP). 
    Sync was complete and I ejected devide from computer.  I then checked and had all the folders but there were empty.  None of the photos were in the individual folders.  I only had the photos from camera roll. 
    Can someone help?  Don't know what to do.  I even purchased extra storage (10 gb).
    Would appreciate any help
    thank you

    Hi all,
    After much research I managed to find a way to get the iPhone photo library working again, however any photos you had previously took will be lost in the below process.
    Before you begin ensure your iPhone data has been backed up onto the iCloud. Do this manually by going into Settings, iCloud, Storage & Backup, Backup now. (You need to be connected to WiFi to do this)
    Once everything has been backed up you need to delete your photos from iCloud, by going into Settings, iCloud, storage & backup.
    The next screen should ‘show backups’ with a picture of your iPhone underneath, tap on this image and you will now be presented with your backup options where you see quite a few of your apps set as ‘On’. These are applications that have been backup up on your iCloud.
    Find the ‘On’ switch for your Camera, turn this off. By doing this iCloud will inform you that all your photo backups will be deleted from the iCloud.
    To restore your iPhone to the factory settings go to settings, general, reset, erase all content & settings. Or connect to iTunes and do a factory restore. Once the restore is complete the phone will then give you the option to restore your iPhone from your computer or iCloud, choose iCloud. Be warned this process does take quite sometime to restore your apps, music, contact etc. Apart from your photos as you deleted the back up.
    Apparently the iPhone photos become corrupt if you save a picture image when you browsing the web on Safari. In future don’t click on a picture and choose save image. Screen shot it be pressing the home & power button together.
    I hope this has helped you both. Any questions please feel free to ask.

    how can i tranfer photos in a HDML folder from flicker to iphoto

    thanks, should I delete all the phones on Itunes and re sync the old phone, then resync the new phone to get the pictures?  Will they go to camera roll instead of a folder?
