I recently had a catastrophic hard drive failure on my iMac and lost all of my data. Unfortunately my last back up was a couple weeks ago and I had taken plenty of pictures since then. Luckily I have transferred all my pictures to my iPad. I was wondering if there is any way to get them off of my iPad and back on my computer. Thanks.

Simple, plug your iPad into your iMac. Fire up Image Capture, select the iPad in devices. Then you import 'em. Hazza! You're done.

Oh, and they WILL be full rez (this was tested with my iPad w/CCK and my 2 Nikons)

The are only full resolution if they were imported vis the Camera Connection Kit.....if they were moved over via iTunes they are "optimized" not full res

Photos put on an iPad from iPhoto don't show up in Image Capture. I don't think iTunes allows you to put photos back on your computer unfortunately...Using email or good reader may be your only options.
 
I know on windows the iPad will show up in the computer folder. You can access your pictures and just copy and paste them to the main hard drive. Though it may only work for photos you saved directly on the ipad it self.
