Transfering photos from iPad mini to macbook air

How can I transfer movie clips (or photos) from my iPad mini to a MacBook Air?
I have AirDrop on both devices however they do not see each other.
The AirDrop on the MacBook sees an iMac, however not the ipad mini - so the AirDrop on the MacBook works.
The iPad Mini's AirDrop works with another iPad Mini - so that works, and the function is "on"
I also tried connecting the ipad to the MacBook using the Lightning to USB connection, and am able to backup the ipad mini, and synch items
However I do not seem able to "see" and move the photos or movie clips from the ipad mini to the MacBook.
Thanks.

AirDrop does not work for an iOS device to a Mac. It works Mac to Mac or iOS device to iOS device. Strange, I know, but that's how it works currently so don't try any longer using AirDrop.
You cannot transfer photos using iTunes either. It's not supposed to work that way. You can import the photos to iPhoto, Image Capture or Aperture on the Mac.
this is explains how to do it.

I have a problem with transfering photos from iPad to MacBook Air, how do I go about doing that?

Photos from iPad to MacBook Air, I am currently trying to use my USB cord to transfer photos, but how?

You can only import photos in the camera roll, not synced photos. So I assume that you want to transfer the photos that you shot with the iPad camera. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture on the MBA.
Just connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two apps. Your iPad should appear under the devices heading in the left sidebar of the app. Click on the iPad name just like you do when you sync with iTunes and the camera roll photos should appear in the window on the right.

How do I transfer photos from iPad mini to my Macbook Pro?

I have about 30GB of photos on my iPad mini (which were added from a SD card through the SDcard cord with the lightning cable end) and i am trying to take them off my iPad mini to free up space, but still need to keep the photos. I tried importing them through iPhoto on my Macbook Pro but it said all the files were corrupt. I tried putting them back through the SDcard cord onto an SDcard but that didnt work either. Is there any way to get these photos onto my Macbook Pro or even a USB stick? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Image Capture is a built-in program and should be in your Applications folder, Aperture I bought from the Mac App Store.
For Simple Transfer it's an iPad app, so you would download it on your iPad from the app store.

How do you transfer photos from iPad 1 to macbook?

I have iCloud, but can't seem to be able to xfer or pick up my photos from the old iPad 1.
shame on me, my Macbook died and I had not backed my photos up and the only place I have them is on this old iPad......
Help!

Hi,
My challenge is that the photos that I am trying to transfer from my old iPad1 were taken with a camera, not an iOS device. These instructions say that only photos take with an iOS device
can be transferred. There must be a way to get them back onto my mac.
Please tell me that I am wrong.

Switching from Mac Mini to Macbook Air

Hello, this is my first post in this forum and I hope that I chose the right category.
Right now I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 Base model, that is the one with an 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and I have also upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
I know want to take a step further into the Mac laptops and I have my eye on the Macbook Air but I have some questions.
The work I do is mostly writing code and light photo editing with Photoshop, no heavy photo editing or video rendering. I want to know which Macbook Air I should pick to get about the same performance as the 2011 Mac Mini that I'm running right now because I'm very happy with my Mac Mini.
Here are some questions:
1. How do the processors stand up to the Mac Mini? The latest Macbook Air of course runs the new Haswell processors but I'm uncertain if I should pick the upgraded i7 processor that's available. The Macbook Air has a lower clock frequency than the Mac Mini and I was wondering if the Macbook Air can stack up.
2. Should I get the 11 inch or the 13 inch screen? I will be doing most of my work hooked up to an external monitor but sometimes I feel the need to sit down at an more comfortable place. Is there anyone who has any experience with web design/coding on an Macbook Air monitor?
I'm already planning on getting the 8GB of RAM upgrade and probably the 256GB SSD too.
I'm very thankful for any answer whatsoever!
Sincerely,
Fabian Lindfors

Mac Mini is great isnt it? Got a couple of them and typing on one now.
My new base model 2013 macbook Air I5 with 8gig of ram
vs. what im currently using now,... this Mac Mini QUAD CORE with 16 gig of ram.
Honestly on simplex Photoshop editing I notice NO difference between my quad core 16gig RAM Mac Mini and my Macbook Air 13" I5.
Ive had both 11" and 13" macbook Air, I really wouldn't go back to the 11".
Also the battery life in the 13" is a lot more than the 11". Much larger Lithium Polymer battery packs on the 13"
Yes, get the 8gig of ram regardless
Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

How to transfer photos from blackberry phone to macbook air

I just got this macbook air and want to upload pictures from my blackberry phone. Is it just as easy as plugging into the USB port and transfering a file?

iPhoto will import photos from any device that "looks like" a standard digital still camera - consult your manual of Kodak tech support to see if your Kodak Pocket video camera has such a setting -- if it does not then yhou will need to use Kodak software or the finder to get your photos and then import them into iPhoto

HT1535 how do i delete photos from ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop

How do I delete photos from an ipad mini that were automatically synced from my laptop.Apple told me to reset my daughters ipad mini to factory settings because of a fault but when it was reconnected all the photos on laptop were transferred and we cannot get rid of them Pse help

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - so you will need to re-connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 and you don't have the sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side use the Photos tab to de-select the folders that you don't want and then sync (if you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder).

Moving photos from mac mini to macbook...AH!

So I want to move all my twos years worth of photos from my mac mini to my macbook. I tried just putting the actual folders for 05' and 06' from my mac mini onto an external hard drive and then dragging then into iPhoto on my macbook, but it didn't organize them well at all. There doubles of some of the photos and some of them are way out of place. Is there a better way I can transfer these fills and keep them organized?

Bananaeatsmonkey:
All you need to do is copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the Macbook and place it in the Pictures folder unless you have a library there with additional photos in it. If no then a simple replacement is all you need to do. When you open iPhoto it will open that library.
Note: Just to be sure all permissions/ownership are correct on the copied folder download and run BatChmod on it as follows before opening for the first time:
download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

Delete photos from iPad mini

I downloaded photos from my PC using iTunes onto my iPad mini. Now I want to delete some and I can not.

If it was synced from your computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select it from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.
