There are plenty of apps that will send photos from the iPad to the computer, but not the other way round. I have been getting teachers to use Dropbox to transfer selected photos but it is time consuming. Does anybody know of a way/app to transfer lots of photos to iPad but not using iTunes sync?
Am wanting to also know how to manage photos sent to email on iPad. I click "save image" but don't knwo where they go??? Not in photos
We have created emails for our ipads so can email photos to ipads. We did 10 photos the other day and you can save them all at the same time. They were then in Photos ready to use.
I use Photo-Sort for iPad [$2.59] - uses ftp to transfer bulk photos from computer to iPad wirelessly.
theres a Photo Transfer app.. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
and probably a few others too..
also you can get a bit of apple hardware that allows you to slot in your sd card and it automatically displays the photos on the card and you can bring over the ones you want. Its about $50 tho and plugs directly into the iphone/itouch/ipad connector.
I use photosync, does both way using free app on mac/win. Will do a ton of other ones as well. i.e. dropbox, ftp etc. http://www.photosync-app.com/
I have also set up our iPads with an email address and have found this the quickest way to get photos onto the iPad. Really easy to select an image or all images and they save to camera roll.
Thanks all for your suggestions, this is what I tried and what worked well starting with the best
So the free option of emailing worked the best but I think that I will also recommend using Photo sync and/or Photo transfer as well for the other choices they offer. Thanks for all your help!
