To get the photos from your iPad to your computer you have two options in iPhoto:

  • Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
  • Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
• Tap Done.

• Open iPhoto or Aperture, and import your photos from the Camera Roll on your device.

2. Save photos to your computer using iTunes

• Connect your iOS device to your computer.
• Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.

  • Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
  • Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.

I don't think you understood the quesstion. lowemaine was asking about syncing a "Project" created with iPhoto. A project could be a calendar or a book.

This has been some time ago, but I think I listed all sharing options in my answer.

The sad thruth is, there is no way to sync "projects" from an iOS device to the Mac. You can only "Share" to Flickr, etc.

If you created a book on your iPad, the only sharing option is to buy the printed book. See above.

If you want the book on your mac, send the photos in the book album to your Mac and recreate the book on your mac.

For other projects (Journals, slideshows) you could try to publish them as webpage and download the webpage on your mac.

It is easy to get photos and albums fromm your mac to the devices, but there are not (yet) many options for the way back to your mac.

There is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and iPhoto on a mobile device except their name. They are two separate applications with no communication between the two.
