Transferring photos from iPad to PC

Hi.
I have the original version iPad and am trying to transfer photos (8,000 of them which I downloaded from camera to the iPad) to my PC. I've spent hours and hours looking for a solution, but am stumped. I take full responsibility for not checking into this sooner. I just never considered that the photos would be trapped on the device. It's just so dang convenient to download them to the iPad when traveling, rather than hauling my PC! In any event, here's what I've tried, in a nutshell.
1. I had assumed that the iPad would be recognized as an external devices (as are my iPod and iPhone) and I could grab and file the photos directly to my desktop. However, my PC does not recognize the iPad. I had an Apple Genius Bar appointment last week and could not resolve the issue. (Strange experience, actually. Left me thinking it was the particular representative who was unable to help, rather than that a solution didn't exist.)
2. I attempted to use DropBox to transfer the files, but discovered that while doing so, the original resolution of the photos could not be maintained. Discussion forums confirmed that this is a "glitch" in DropBox - no solution at this time. Discussion forums also pointed out that this issue also exists on iCloud.
Any ideas? Seems like I'm left to teach myself a lesson my emailing each of the those photos to myself to then save to my desktop--ultimately backing up and filing with other archived photos.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

You may want to look into third party apps for your PC used to recover files off an iPad/iPhone.

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.

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.

Transfering photos from iPad to a non-Mac PC

Hey, short of emailing them to an address and going through the process of saving each and every single one, 5 at a time per email, is there a way I can export the photos onto a PC? Or even send them back to the card which I imported them from?

Is there a way to move imported photos to saved? And I thought Syncing only worked from PC to iPad instead of the other way around?
The "Saved Photos" need to be imported to the PC. Examples of these are screen snaps, photos saved from emails and web pages, etc.
The other albums are what is synced from the pc to the ipad.
Don't confuse import with sync.
You import the saved photos album (ipad to PC).
You sync all others (pc to ipad).
Hope this helps....

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

Can some photos from ipad be transferred to mac or external hard disk

can some photos from ipad be transferred to mac or external hard disk

Photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be copied to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You can't connect an external drive directly to the iPad, you will need to copy them to your computer first.
Photos that originally synced from a computer can be copied back to a computer via third-party apps such as Simple Transfer (which also has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when iTunes syncs them to the iPad, any that are copied back to a computer may not be exactly the same (file size, dimensions etc) as they originally were on the computer.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Transferring old photos from Ipad to Imac using usb cable or local wifi?

Can anyone tell me how I transfer old photos from Ipad to Imac? These were originally on a PC (now disposed of). I can see how to transfer new photos from Camera Roll using Iphoto, but my 10 year archive with 1000s of photos appears stuck on my Ipad. I have a very slow internet connection, so I can't send them across by email and would like a solution involving the usb cable if possible.
Worryingly this question appears several times in old threads but appears to be unanswered, but I will be pleased to be referred to the right thread with all the answers - if it exists!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Connect the iPad (USB) to your Mac then launch the Image Capture app. It's located in your Applications folder.
You can import photos from the iPad using that application.
You can even designate where you want to the photos stored on your Mac and which app you want to use for editing from the bottom of the Image Capture window.

Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView

I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?

TS3274 How to transfer my photos from ipad to pc or memory card?

Please help if you can - I have transferred photos from my cameras memory card using an adaptor into the ipad but now cannot get these photos off to use on my PC to create a photobook URGENTLY. I see I can sync my ipad and tranfer photos TO it but not FROM it. Please walk me through the steps. I can't see why it couldn't be done given that they are my photos not copyright from elsewhere. I don't have the photos on the memory card anymore so they are only on my ipad and I need to make use of them. Thanks in advance of assistance.

You can use 3rd party apps like Photo Transfer App.

How do I transfer photos from iPad to ipad2.

How do I transfer photos from iPad to ipad2?

With your computer.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync process should remain on your computer. You transfer these photos to your iPad 2 in the same way - via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad 2 sync preferences with iTunes.
For any photos on your iPad that were saved from a received email or from a website or that were imported from a digital camera with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, these photos can be imported from your iPad by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Import these photos from your iPad with your computer, and then transfer the photos from your computer to your iPad 2 via the iTunes sync process.

How to transfer photo from ipad to pc

how to transfer photo from ipad to pc??

If you want to transfer photos that were originally synced from your computer then you'll need to use a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which also has a free 'lite' version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can transfer photos off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when iTunes transfers them to the iPad, what you transfer back may not be exactly the same as what your originally synced.
Perhaps from now on you'll take backups of your photos ?

Update on transferring photos from Droid to iPhone

I'd like to share some information on transferring photos from an old Droid to iPhone 5, a problem I've wrestled with for the last few days. Even though I got some good tips, and have learned that I'm not the only person with this particular problem, I still had no success making the transfer. In desperation (thinking I'd get no help) I called 1-800-734-5870, the Motorola help line. Was bumped up to "level 2" of problem-solving and was told that a possible solution might be to use a USB connector cord specifically made for Motorola phones (I'm not sure the one I've been using is that type). The rep is sending me a courtesy cord to use to see if that will make a difference -- if no, t I'm supposed to call Motorola back. My point is that the Motorola people were exceptionally nice, especially considering I'll no longer be using their phone. I did not get this type of support from the Apple help line. Will send an update if this simple "cord fix" works!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Roaminggnome. I have to say, though, that the answer, while not unexpected, is disappointing. The iPhone is, like the iPad, a data storage device as well as a cellular phone. One can store and retrieve music, contacts, documents, presentations in Keynote, videos, podcasts, and a host of things on it. And one can also store photos, which can be transferred from a digital camera or media card via a computer or iCloud. So why, one has to wonder, would Apple not provide an alternative, and more direct, way to upload pictures from a camera without requiring the intermediary of a computer, as it does with the iPad? But I guess that's what we're stuck with. Puzzling, for a company as innovative as Apple. Surely they know that folks are asking these questions.
