Why is this your problem? Give them their photos on a thumb drive - then they can deal with them.


I agree. Too many solutions here involving too many connectors. I always transfer mine with an app called PhotoSync. incredibly fast and easy to learn in about 2 mins. I transfer images between iPhones, iPads, to and from my iMac.

WOW! Lot's of help here.

Although I haven't seen the Ipad in question, I did find out they only have that one Ipad and nothing else. I'm thinking the best answer is to give them an SD card storing the images although several other options sound very doable.

Thank you everyone!

Good idea. They can either use a computer to transfer the photos, or they can use a dongle with a slot. I'd give them a micro SD card so that this option would be available to them. My iBridge iAccess dongle works well for this, and requires no investment from you, they buy the gadget.

After a lot of time spent trying to make my ipad act normal ie like a laptop, to find that Apple really has a peculiar idea of what is usefull to a user I flagged anything to do with photography and just use it for email and reading.

Interesting that you say that because I do use my iPad a lot for photography. After I take pictures with it, I edit the images with PS Express app and it gives me a lot of options for improving contrast, highlights, shadows, etc. Afterwards, I store the final image in it's appropriate album. If I want to send it to my iMac, I use an app called PhotoSync which transfers to my desktop, MacBook Air, or iPhones.

You can also buy a keyboard that attaches to your iPad, which will make it perform like a laptop, so I understand. I've never tried this, but I've seen others using these.

Hope this helps you.

Maybe I should have been a little more specific. My earlier camera used CF cards. All the adapters designed for use with ipads to read CF cards didn't work because Apple had decided that to enable the ipad to run longer on a charge they deliberately limited the current available to the adapter on the bottom so there wasn't enough power to run the CF card reader. Worked great with some SD cards however. BUT I had a Nikon and it used CF cards. So just like that they knocked out the ipad being useful to me. And a whole lot of other people I found out. I was able to get it to work eventually by using external powered CF reader attached via a powered USB hub but it ended up being a wired nightmare and every so often the ipad popped up a message claiming I was using none Apple approved hardware (which I was) but it wasn't my fault since it was them that made the current cut in the bottom adapter. Ended up paying quite a bit of money trying to make that work.
In other words I wasn't letting Apple dictate to me which camera cards I should use with the ipad. And in case you hadn't worked this out yet Apple doesn't listen to users because we don't know s...
Since then I tend not to use Apple products for my work since I like to see what is happening and Apple hides stuff. It is my opinion that Apple products suit a certain type of mind and I don't have one of those so I stick with PCs. Also save a few bucks and get my work done faster but that is a side issue. I am not going into what a "certain type of mind" is since those with that type of mind might not like it.

Yeah, you should have been a little more specific at the very beginning and that would have saved a whole lot of replies and folks with their solutions. But, that's what happens with folks that don't have a "certain type of mind"-----lmao

This is the card reader dongle for an I pad. This is for an iPad Pro, but may work on other iPads too. Amazon prime.


I have used it on several iPads, not just the pro.

Dump the IPad idea and get an actual camera.
