SERIOUSLY FIRST: please please please ... CAREFULLY READ and think about ALL of my post and ONLY respond to the specifics of my question. Please arrest any urges to question why I am asking this, or offer 'alternative solutions' or tell me what you do instead, or the like ....... SORRY - to be specific, this is a lot of words to put what is really a simple Q. Apologies!
MY QUESTION IS: If I upgrade my MacBookPro to the latest OS (Mac OS High Sierra V 10.13.2) and I upgrade my iPad to its latest OS (iOS 11), will I - by ONLY connecting the iPad to my MacBookPro by the charging USB cable (NOT by any cloud or any other internet connection) - be able to export a selection of images (with all their develop module operations applied) IN THE ORDER I HAVE ARRANGED THEM IN LR-CC to my iPAD (as jpegs of course) as an album viewable in PHOTOS viewed in the iPAD in the LR-CC filename export order (which is NOT chronological order!). I need to be able find these images by selecting that album from within Photos (or equivalent) on the iPAD when the iPAD is stand alone, not connected to anything, and specifically not on the internet or on wifi. IF YES: Then specifically - have YOU done this? How did YOU do this please?
MY REASONS FOR POSTING THIS QUESTION IN SUMMARY: I cannot find a confident answer to my Q after hours and hours of web searching. Apple support advise what I have described in the above Q "should" work, but cannot confirm it WILL work, and cannot advise me how it would be done. Apple support have never been able to tell me how to achieve this basic bread and butter outcome, but I have developed a way using the now outdated Aperture . (In overview, I develop my RAW files and arrange into the order of images I want in LR-CC, I then export these from LR-CC as JPEGs batch renaming in a file name order sequence, then I import these JPEG's into the now unsupported Aperture as a an album specifying in Aperture "viewing IN FILENAME ORDER", then using the USB cable I connect the iPAD to the MAcBookPro and using iTunes, select the iPAD and PHOTOS. iTunes then gives me the option of syncing with Apurture albums, I select the Aperture albums I wish to have on the iPAD and sync. Job done. IN the iPad stand alone, not connected to anything, I use PHOTOS to select the album of interest, and the full resolution finally developed images are all there for the viewing in the order I want - and for airdropping to friends.) I have not updated O/S's for fear of not being able to put albums of photos on the iPAD in the order that fits the theme to topic or viewer. I am not aware of any process other than what I have just described for doing this transfer to an iPAD. I fear that since Aperture is no longer supported the iTunes syncing to Aperture feature will one day not be there in updates to iTunes.
MY REASONS FOR NOT USING THE CLOUD: I travel a lot in places where there is no reliable internet connection (eg just back from 9 weeks in India in remote areas where frequent power outages and slow or intermittent internet dictate only use the cable!) These places are where I do most of my photography (taking, editing and showing and sharing). I will continue with the new LR Classic, using my MacBookPro for all my LR work (linked to my 27 inch iMac as a monitor when I am home) and am not interested in going the more modern mobile everything everywhere adobe cloud thing.
PS - Yes ALL my files of EVERYTHING I - and my wife - do on computers (Macs and PC's), mobile (cell) phones, my iPAD are ALL backed up securely including offsite (and I don't use the cloud).
NOW GO BACK AND READ 'SERIOUSLY FIRST" PLEASE!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
