[QUOTE="Steady Hand, post: 1629015, member: 340101"] Hello. I am a new member here and a relatively new mac owner. This is my first post on the forum. I am posting here after spending some hours looking for answers online. Unfortunately, most of the suggestions I found online were related to using newer macs (and OSX such as Mavericks or Yosemite) and some were a few years old related to sw (apps) that is now not supported. I recently purchased a 2006 MacBookPro (core two duo OSX Lion) to begin my transition from PC notebook computers to Mac. I love the Mac! :) Unfortunately, it is limited to running OSX Lion. I have a lot of sw on it. But, I cannot upgrade my OSX to Yosemite. I asked Apple Geniuses and they said I need to stay on Lion. I also have a iPad (Retina display model) and have thousands of photos on it I want to transfer to my MBP. I had been using iPhoto on both the iPad and the MBP to make the transfers. I set up many albums and liked using the iPhoto to show my photos to friends. It looked good and I spent a lot of time making the many albums. :) A few days ago my iPad prompted me to update my iOS. I did so. While it was doing this it asked me to confirm I wanted to convert my iPhoto photos to Photo. I said yes. I then found out that none of the albums I had spent many hours creating were transferred when I opened up Photo. I then read about this issue online. I was disappointed that iPhoto will no longer work on my iPad. :( But, the worst thing is that I now have thousands of photos on my iPad that are not organized as I want them to be, and many were hidden photos (not to be seen, as they are snapshots, unedited, and not my finished work). I have thousands of images that I do NOT want to be visible as it takes too long to organize them and they detract from the viewing experience. So I want to transfer about 3,000 photos FROM the iPad TO the MBP, and then I will delete them from the iPad. I do NOT want to synch those photos at all. My MPB still has iPhoto on it. But it does NOT have Photo app on it. ??? I assume that is because iPhoto was on the mac when I bought it. So, today I can use Photo (app) on my iPad (and I hate it) and I can still use iPhoto on my Mac, but I don't know how to transfer now. :( I do not know what to do now. ??? I searched for Photo (the app) on my MBP but cannot find it in the applications folder. I am not sure what to do. ??? I don't know what steps to take now to move the photos from the iPad to the Mac. Again, I am new to this and still learning so please keep the suggestions to a beginner level. :D Please advise. :) [/QUOTE]
