Q: How to add copies of some photos from Mac to iPad

How to add copies of some photos from Mac to iPad

 

Greetings,

 

First, I would like to only put _copies_ on the iPad so they can be deleted easily

 

Second, will iCloud or iTunes  (or both) be necessary for this?

 

I'd like to be able to do this from the iPad itself, if possible.

 

Is there a better procedure with other applications?

 

With thanks in advance.

    You of course can not do it from the iPad alone

     

    You can do it using MyPHotoStream, Shared PhotoStreams or using  iTunes sync

    Thank you, Larry.

     

    Alright, I'll go to the Mac Pro and launch iTunes. Right? Let's see how intuitive the interface is - and how quick-witted I am!

     

    1. Will I drag a whole folder onto the iPad? Drop that into iPads "Photos"?

     

    2. Or drag images into a folder that I create on iPad? Any preference?

     

    Still, on a good day, I would like to _somehow_ access a large number of photos (perhaps kept in my iCloud account, or elsewhere) and drag only some of these images onto the iPad. (I may be far away from the office and suddenly need some files without warning.)

     

    If that is just not possible, does one need to carry memory cards (or flash drives) containing (numerous) images from a library?

     

    And is it an "iPad dongle" one uses to connect the card to the iPad?

     

    Or Bluetooth storage for the iPad?

     

    With thanks Larry - and in advance  to any others who wish to chime in.

     

    Best,

     

    David

    Sync photos from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes - Apple Support

     

    As to iCloud you need to define which iCloud service you are using - there are several and each has different operational caharastics
