The BEST way to solve this problem is to install iTunes.


The only ones who are suggesting that are those who do not understand
the problem set. Do you realize what "installing iTunes" means, when
you're putting it on someone else's Windows PC (that someone who doesn't
own a single Apple product) just to copy two files one time only?


As explained that is just stubborn objection (or more likely an argument
piece for no other reason. You originally accepted Evernote as a
solution ... yet that also meant DLing and installing s/w.

As also noted, in the time you've wasted on this iTunes could have been
DL'd, installed, used and erased. Several times for that matter.

Remember, it's trivial to do this using Android.
And, it's even trivialier (if that's a word) to do this with Linux.


Why is it that all Android and Linux evangelists who poke their noses
into non-Android and non-Linux forums, allegedly seeking a solution to
a problem, refuse to accept the simplest and best solutions?

...even more amazing is they all seem to use the same verbiage with
words such as "trivial".


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. ; )

Because it has nothing to do with Linux or Android...

Most excellent. You've proven the point. 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.

Silly attitude, Dropbox and Box will do the job.
Silly attitude, iTunes is the best way to get this done.

The entire task should be done in the time it takes to connect
a cable and move the mouse (as it works with other systems today).


Did you even search on "mtp for xp"?

Good grief.


He's a numbskull troll. So of course not. ; )

It's his modus operandi, and it's well-known to regulars here.


I regret adding to the noise. Kindly accept my apologies.


No worries. : )

If the files aren't huge, you could email them to yourself as attachments.

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.

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.

Clearly, "rathole" to you means, "Something I don't want to do, and
I'll hold my breath until I turn blue in the face instead of doing it."

It's two movies because the friend with the Windows XP laptop doesn't
even live in the same state that I do.

Clearly iTunes and dropbox are both ratholes that are best left for
those who enjoy ratholes.

I, for one, simply want a clean solution, which, to date, is either:
1. MTP drivers on Windows (kindly suggested by Mayayana)
2. Bluetooth between Windows & iOS (nobody suggested how yet)
3. WiFi between Windows & iOS (nobody suggested how yet)
4. Evernote (kindly suggested by Alan Browne)
5. iMazing (kindly suggested by Savageduck)
6. USB iPad hardware (kindly suggested by Big Al)

What would be best, probably, is one of the first three, and, if
that's not possible with the iPad, then one of the next three as
a second best option for easy file transfer from a guest Windows XP
laptop to the iPad.


I thought about 2 & 3, but since I basically know nada about iOS, I kept
my mouth shut. LOL

I have my Mac and Windows systems on the same network, hardwired, and it
was a PITA to get them to talk to each other. I finally got it done,
but not the way I wanted it to. Which is another way of saying, it's
not working the way I think it should work. G

It does exist; it's called "iTunes".

there is a very simple way, but he refuses to use it.

functionality that should, by common sense,
exist. Yet hordes of people are jumping in to

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.

i don't know what you did, but it's very easy to get a mac and windows
system to talk to each other.
