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

Many, but not all of them. "Werner" is our resident numbskull Linux dweeb troll, "It MUST be free!" and "Apple limits you!" singular cheer leading squad who constantly changes his name in an attempt to fool people into thinking he's someone else. : ) He's also gone by: Liam, Adair, Peter, Paul, Juan, Alphonse, Danny, Vinny, Tony, etc. And I suppose now he'll change it once again. Fortunately for the sane folks here, his writing and conversational style doesn't change, making it very easy to detect his posts. He's not fooling any of the regulars here. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR |

The OP is willing to explore a dozen solutions to avoid the one that works. And could have done that solution many times over in the time wasted. |

| I get it, you are moving the target and pulling the chains of the group on
an off-topic exercise. Roger that. | He's been clear all along. He wants to know if there's a simple way to be able to transfer files between Windows and iPad, with a minimum of rigmarole. It's a common sense request for functionality that should, by common sense, exist. Yet hordes of people are jumping in to tell him he's being stubborn for not using "his iCloud" or email, for not installing iTunes on the PC, or using some other method that's more complicated. iTunes is an especially bad idea. It installs something like 4 processes to run at boot and call home, without asking. There's simply no excuse for needing that kind of crap in order to transfer files. |

wrote: Why should it be any more difficult with Windows? Ask Microsoft. Just install iTunes, use it to get the job done, and then delete it. You have no idea what iTunes is, if you say "then delete it", but, I do not want to go down that rathole because saying "delete it" is like saying to just clean up after a nuclear disaster with handy wipes. You have demonstrated repeatedly that you like to do things the hard way rather than the easy way, so why should deleting iTunes be any different? Of course, you would do it the hard way. |

He wants to know if there's a simple way to be able to transfer files between Windows and iPad, with a minimum of rigmarole. there is a very simple way, but he refuses to use it. It's a common sense request for functionality that should, by common sense, exist. Yet hordes of people are jumping in to tell him he's being stubborn for not using "his iCloud" or email, for not installing iTunes on the PC, only because he *is* being stubborn and stupid. or using some other method that's more complicated. itunes is by far the simplest, easiest and most straightforward method. it's literally one click (or no clicks if configured that way). that's *it*. not only that, but it doesn't even need a usb cable. iTunes is an especially bad idea. It installs something like 4 processes to run at boot and call home, without asking. There's simply no excuse for needing that kind of crap in order to transfer files. itunes does *much* more than transfer files. it also does *not* phone home without asking and the processes you claim it installs *adds* to the functionality of the computer, such as bonjour. |
