Wired transfer

iTunes sync
A fantastic way to move a high number of photographs from the Mac (or even a camera, which you need to link to the Mac) is by simply syncing them with iTunes and Photos. Follow the following steps:

- Unplug the system that had the pictures on.
- Plug from the iPad with the Lightning or USB-C cable, and open iTunes. Click the iPad icon at the top bar to find the apparatus’s summary page.
