Thank you I knew there was a way to do it .

Can I just extract some of the pics from the folder ?

this is really rather stupid - but I can't see how to do it

OK - running MacBook Pro, Aperture and my little iPad2.

Now last time I had to do this I did it from the camera card via the little adaptor thingy and they all tumbled into the iPad but then I had to try and edit them on it - not as good a result as I wanted.

However this time I don't have the card [ it's in London 'cos my mate snaffled the camera and went a bit trigger happy with it - he had an absolute ball using it ]

Now I have the pics I want to put on it both on my desktop and in Aperture [ they have all gone through PP ].

I synced the iPad and while it was connected tried to drag one of the pics over and drop it onto the Pad - no joy [ it told me it couldn't play it ]

There doesn't seem to be a way to export the 16 I want directly from Aperture to the iPad.

Any of our Macheads got an idea ? I really feel rather stupid - I'm sure there's an easy way to do it - but I'm blowed if I can see it.

I'm told that Princes Street will be re-opened to traffic this weekend - so that should help .

and the next is Olympivision

That's interesting

The addy [email protected] - it doesn't appear on the Pentax e-mail I got in this morning

Oh flipping heck Tony - that was not the best of breaks for you all.

My commiserations and condolences to the families

And it's midsummer into the bargain !!

Summer - what's that ?

Oh the cards are not re-used - and yes are a form of storage but my MacBook is backed up in two ways to various external drives and as I say Aperture has it's own dedicated external drive [ also backed up ]

One defunct Hard Drive that wasn't backed up taught me a lesson
