I am finding that sometimes in Preview, under File there is an option for Import from iPad. But sometimes it is not there at all (as of late) and I can find no way to make it appear e.g. by quitting & restarting Preview, by syncing before running Preview etc.

Does anybody here know what the deal is with Preview not allowing importation from the iPad?

Thanks.

What are you trying to import from your iPad in Preview? Why not use iTunes, iPhoto or image capture? – Lyken Sep 7 '11 at 13:21
I'm trying to get a screen shot. iTunes doesn't allow import as far as I know and I can't find the screen shot PNG file in my ~/Library folder. But I was able to get a screen shot using xcode4. – Zulu Sep 7 '11 at 13:41
screen shots are stored in your photo library on the iPad and when you plug in the iPad you can download the photos through iPhoto – Lyken Sep 14 '11 at 4:05
