To that end, these are *viable options* for WinXP:iPad file transfer: 1. Test out the Imazing use model (& compare to the Evernote use model) Two very different things. 2. Load a working MTP driver on Windows (similar to how Linux works) 3. Figure out how to Bluetooth between iPad and Windows (as Android works) 4. Figure out how to WiFi between iPad and Windows (as Android works) Other options which would likely work but with *far more overhead* a A. USB cable & iTunes on Windows (far too much overhead!) Actually the least "overhead". B. The cloud (why use the cloud to move a file five inches?) ....because it works, and works well. C. A special iPad USB adapter (if it works, but this requires hardware) D. Email (but the 800MB files would need to be broken up into pieces) -- Regards, Savageduck |

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). itunes. this isn't the first time you've been told this either. itunes is nowhere near as horrible as you claim it is. it has some issues, especially with the latest version, but you don't need to use it to where you'd even notice any of it. |

I realize you don't mean to troll, but the use of iTunes is clearly off topic since it was stated very clearly in the OP that there is absolutely no way iTunes will be loaded on someone else's Windows PC without them wanting it, which isn't gonna happen for two files (iTunes is a rathole, which only *you* want to go down). hundreds of millions of people use itunes every single day without issue. it may not be perfect (nothing is) but it works quite well. calling it a rathole and repeatedly whining about not using it is trolling. |

It's two movies because the friend with the Windows XP laptop doesn't even live in the same state that I do. then why is he asking you? Clearly iTunes and dropbox are both ratholes that are best left for those who enjoy ratholes. clearly you're full of ****. |

While these boneheads are still futzing around with their computers, the rest of us have already synced our devices over WiFi through iTunes without even clicking a button, and have already left the house to enjoy life. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

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. |
