Default All I want to do is bring a file from WinXP over to the iPad

As nospam would note, that's just inadvertent trolling as it has nothing
to do with the problem set, except by way of excuse.


It is the core of it - it's just inconvenient to your way of thinking.

You have issue with using iTunes to get those videos onto the iPad via
the means that Apple provide without charge and as part of their general
walled garden approach to iOS. That in turn is because Apple correctly
consider iOS devices to be appliances that the general public they are
sold to would fail to protect by use practice.

In this morning's general arguing about it iTunes could have been DL'd,
installed and the files copies. Wirelessly if preferred.

Note that Apple do not provide the WinXP version directly but there are
various sites that do. Caveat usufructuarius.

I know you didn't mean to troll, but let's just stay on topic to
find a WINDOWS solution for connecting the iPad to Windows as nicely
as it should be (and is, with the other major platforms).


It's called iTunes. The Windows version.

As noted, Apple's method for file transfer is a walled garden to avoid
the security sieve that Android has been from the start. You don't like
that truth, OTOH you've wasted hours arguing what could have been solved
in under 15 minutes assuming a reasonably quick internet connection to
DL iTunes.
