How to transfer pictures from iPad to PC?

Hi.


Want to tranfer pictures from iPad to PC. Normally when you connect it, a Windows prompt appears asking if you want to transfer media. (Win7).


But Autoplay is not working in my PC although already enabled it through Control Panel. (Windows 7).

Dear Tom.


Thanks for your response.


However, if you note, the link that you posted is already given by me in my initial post at top.


My question is that when I change settings from the Control Panel as instructed in the link, nothing happens and there is no device detection by windows. Altho my iPad is connected Ok throuh iTunes.


I hope u know my problem now.


Regards.

How did the photos get onto the iPad i.e. were they taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites, or were they originally synced from a computer ? If they were originally synced from a computer then they won't appear in windows explorer - you will need to find a third-party iPad app (e.g. Simple Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network, but as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you copy back may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

If your computer doesn't see the iPad there is another way to transfer photos.

I use Dropbox, with free Dropbox you can transfer and share files like photos and documents from and to your computer and iPad.


All you should have is an Internet access via Wi-fi or 3G. Dropbox will grant you 2 GB free space to copy your images such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, RAW, BMP and others.

First create here a Dropbox account, install Dropbox on your computer and then install Dropbox App on your iPad.


THen you can open the Dropbox App on your iPad, go to uploads left below, choose + left up, choose Camera Roll, below choose create a folder, then tap all photos you want to transfer.

Uploading the photos can take some time, after uploading you can find the folder with photos in the Dropbox program on your computer, copy them to a folder on your computer.
