Feb 21, 2015 6:05 PM in response to Alec660by Matt Mcgregor,Hi Alec660,
Do I use my iCloud address for this? I understand texting to a mobile device, not sure about the how to access texts on a MBP.
I have actually emailed the images to my email account. But this is ridiculous. BOTH devices have
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- Airdrop
- Made by Apple and purchased within the last 2 years.
Why on earth, should I have to email images between devices that are sitting next to each other on the same Wifi network!!
Appreciate the response, so thanks, but I'd like to find an easier way.
Oh, and I also tried iPhoto via USB which doesn't work either.

Sorry for the late response. Click here to learn how to set up iMessages on an iPad:
https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/ (Scroll down to the bottom of the page)
To set up messages on a mac, click on the messages icon and sign in with your apple id.
Many users have reported air drop not working well for them. It doesn't work for me and my devices are practically right next to each other.
Hope I helped,
Alec

Just a thought, but based on the fact that Image Capture and iPhoto did not see any of the images, that leads me to beleive that the images that you are trying to transfer are not in the camera roll on her iPad. You can only import images to iPhoto and Image Capture if the images are in the camera roll album on her iPad. If the images are in Photo Stream, she can save them to the camer roll and then you can import them.mAynced photos cannot be imported using this method.
If the images were synced to her iPad from another computer, you can use a WiFi transfer app to move the images from her iPad to your Mac. I use this one.

DropBox would be another way to transfer photos from her iPad to your Mac.
