Sep 18, 2012 11:47 AM in response to smhelmsby King_Penguin,When you sync photos the sync process creates an 'ipod photo cache' directory under the folder that you've chosen at the top of the Photos tab - is the folder that you've selected on your external drive to sync from write-protected ?

Sep 18, 2012 1:36 PM in response to smhelmsby Texas Mac Man,Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
