How to import photos to iPad that are not device created

I wanted to move photos from my Mac to my iPad to display as a slide show on the iPad. I have the SD card adapter but the iPad won't read files that were not directly created on the card by a camera. What is the best way around is? Thank you.

iPhone 4, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

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.)
