Can I import photos from iPhoto to my iPad?

Just a quick question, would it be possible to download photos and videos especially, from iPhoto to my iPad?


I have a few videos that I would like to keep on my iPad, but are too big to send via email.


Thanks

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

You can connect your iPad to your computer and transfer via iTunes.


Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.


Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

Yes. Sync the movies and photos using iTunes, use the CCK or use a WiFi transfer app.


You can add the movies to iTunes via File>Add to Library and that will put them into the Movies Tab of iTunes. Then you can sync them to the iPad.



Or you can create an Album in iPhoto for the movies that you can sync to the iPad in the Photos tab of iTunes. Any albums or events that you already have in iPhotos for photographs can be synced using the Photos Tab in iTunes.



There are WiFi transfer apps that will let to send the movies to the camera roll on the iPad without using iTunes.



I have used this one. There are others in the App Store.
