doug Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Having treated herself to an iPad I was wondering what sort of gizmo I need to get so I can show her photos stored on my PC, could never get her to come and see them. I thought I could copy them onto a USB pen and plug it into the iPad. Now 3 questions:- 1. does this make sense 2. what sort of gizmo to I get? a USB socket to socket lead? 3. will the iPad read the file formats or would I have to convert them from jpeg to something else? I'll bait my breath and await replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just a sugestion, why don't you try it that's if you have a USB pen and I would think jpeg would work or the iPab would be usless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonkersuk Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The file browser app from the apple app store will allow you to browse files. Or you can get a device to plug into the bottom of the ipad to take a usb or memory stick, you can get them from ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Doug. Yep ! I'm afraid it is never as easy as just a lead with Apple or Sony products. :( You've always got to get something else, - they like to tie you up into many knots if they can.There are ways around it all though. You could always email the pictures to the iPad of course, or upload the pictures to a host like photobucket and let her download them herself. Read the links below for more ideas: (First link, - fooling the iPad into thinking a USB stick is a camera is the cheapest if you dont go the internet way.) http://52tiger.net/i...sb-flash-drive/ http://www.pcworld.c..._your_ipad.html http://www.ipadtomac...os-to-ipad.html http://www.gilsmetho...es-to-your-ipad http://software-down...r-jpeg-to-ipad/ John.

-pops- Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The easy way is to set up an email address on your Ipad, put your pictures on an email as an attachment from your current computer and send it to your new email address on the Ipad. Best of all, this is free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
