I'm trying to import "old" photos from my iPad to my MacBook.

I'm trying to import all of the photos from my iPad to my laptop. Although I can clearly see TONS of photos on my iPad, when I plug it into my laptop all that are showing as available for import are two that I already imported and 86 "new" ones.


How can I import other "old" ones?


Not sure how much difference this makes, but my iPad is an older one (first iPad) as is my MacBook, although my MacBook has all of the updates available for it.



Thanks,

Kim

What you are seing on your Macbook are just the photos in your Camera Roll on your iPad.


If you wish to transfer other photos get an App like Photo Transfer.

Ok, I will try. Just checking, does it matter that these pics were not taken with the iPad (it doesn't have a camera) Rather they were synced (I believe) by my husband when he synced his iTunes. I tried looking for the pics in iTunes, but they only show up under the "photo" icon on the iPad. Would you still recommend using the transfer app in that instance?


Thanks again!

Kim
