| 1393960 | 2015-02-10 06:55:00 | Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have my friend's iPad which has 6K+ photos. stored on it.... have bought an external hard drive and want to copy those photos. over and delete from the iPad.... have tried several times and my desktop (32GBRAM - W7 64bit Professional) keeps failing to copy them.... does a few and then stops working.... am I attempting the impossible or is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help - Bryden |

| 1393962 | 2015-02-10 08:50:00 | I have plugged the iPad into the PC - USB connection.... opened the DCIM folder on the iPad which shows all the 200+ folders containing photos. and then trying to copy to the external hard drive - Control A, Control C, Control V - it copies a few and then just hangs up.... | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1393963 | 2015-02-10 08:58:00 | Try copying Less items at once., Eg: 5 folders. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1393964 | 2015-02-10 09:01:00 | Yea had this same issue today with an iPhone. Copy and paste a few folders at a time and it should work fine. |

| 1393965 | 2015-02-10 09:02:00 | Create a folder on the desktop. Plug in the ipad. Right-click on the ipad under "Computer" and choose import pictures and videos". It will scan the ipad for all pictures and videos first. Then you will see a "import settings option" Point the images and video to that folder on the desktop and import. Ignore the tagging option. See if this helps. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1393966 | 2015-02-10 22:12:00 | I have tried just copying a few folders (4).... there are 201 folders and 25+GB of data.... even with just a few folders my Windows Explorer stops working.... If I try to do a backup my computer tries to save it to my C drive but there isn't enough space there - I do have enough on my partitioned F drive, but cannot find an option on iTunes to back them up to there - and even if I do, I will still need to copy them again to the external drive so double the trouble.... I am seriously thinking of giving up on this exercise.... any other ideas please? | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1393967 | 2015-02-10 23:26:00 | Have you tried what I suggested? Create the folder on the F drive where you have space and then point the import settings to that. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1393968 | 2015-02-11 08:21:00 | Thanks for the steer to using Import.... I was able to go to Import Settings and copy the photos. that way.... it has just finished - and I started just after 11.00 am..... While it was copying I did not want to disturb anything so apologies that I did not reply sooner.... I copied them over to the external hard drive.... it did not copy the folders (of which there were 201) but copied all the individual photos.... yawn.... | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1393969 | 2015-02-11 09:32:00 | Whaaat, no folders?? Wow, what a mess. Can't imagine how anyone could handle 6,000 pics all jumbled up. | linw (53) | ||
