Transferring images from IPAD to iMac Aperture

Plug the iPad into your iMac and use Aperture to import them from the iPad to the desired project in your Library.
Open Aperture, select the photo stream in iClould, and drag-n-drop them from the iCloud photo stream to the project where you want them in your Library.
Enable auto-import from My Photo Stream inside of Aperture. This will create a project in your Library for each month and year that contains images from the stream My Photo Stream in iCloud. Those will be real projects like any other project in your Library. You can rename them, copy/move images to other projects, etc.

Hope that helps.

You cannot edit images in Photo Stream. They must be in a project. That is why Walter suggests above two different ways to get them into a project from Photo Stream (option 2 and 3) without needing to connect the cable to your Mac.

If you already had auto import enabled (the default)(option 3), you probably already have them in a project. Aperture names the projects based on the month/year the photo was taken. (e.g. Dec 2013 Photos)

Once Aperture creates a new project for the current month, you can edit the name of the project to anything you want. Aperture will still remember it is the auto generated project and import new Photo Stream photos into it for that month.
