How can I transfer and store data from my PC on the ipad without using icloud

I am a new user having received the iPad air/2 from my family as an 80th birthday gift. (at my request).
At this stage my principal usage is to transfer photos for PC to show family when visiting. I tried iTunes but it caused many problems with my PC, so I un-installed it. I found an ap which did the job simply and easily via wi fi transfer.
My other main usage is to be able to play my music transferred from my PC to the ipad and held in it's memory so that it can be used even when off line.
In other words iCloud doesn't seem to be able to do this.
I sent myself a song via an email, downloaded it on to the ipad, listened to it, then closed the email.
I cannot now find where that song has got to to retrieve... ipad search says it can't find it.
Basically I want to transfer a folder of music into the ipad and play them back at will.
Can anyone help me?
Sorry to be so longwinded.. cheers Ted
My PC runs Windows 7 64 bit.
iPad is IOS8 I believe with 64 GB memory.

You shouldn't be worrying about 'hackers'. Apple have good security & so long as you pick good passwords the data should be safe.
There are parts of using iOS & iTunes that requires an Apple ID & iCloud, however you can disable many of the feature you do not need, and avoid syncing any files into iCloud. It can be annoying, but a lot of the services help to make backups easy.
You may want to visit into an Apple store if you are near one, they may try to sell you on the benefits of iCloud (it's kind of their job), but they may also be able to help you get the iPad under control. See if you can get the PC setup with iTunes, that is probably where you need to start.
Good luck with it

  • I am brand new to the Ipad.  I can't use ICloud unless I upgrade my 10.5 Leopard.  Is there a way to sync documents created in Pages to the IPad without using ICloud?

    Hello.  I am a newbie to the Ipad.  I am currently working with an OS 10.5 Leopard MAC.  I understand that in order to use ICloud I would need to purchase OSX Snow Leopard and OSX Lion.  I am attempting to avoid the expense and to the extent possible sync my IPad with my MAC.  I have created documents on my MAC in pages.  Is there a way to have access to those documents on the IPad without using ICloud.
    A second question concerns web browsing, sometimes you'll open up a page or image and not know how to go back to the previous page. So do I just close and reopen safari altogether or is there another way to get to the previous page.
    Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

    Actually you can use iCloud with the Mac running OS X 10.5.8. You don't sync the documents - you upload to or download them from iCloud.
    You can open a browser on your Mac - Safari is preferred - log into icloud.com, enter your username and password, click on the iWorks icon, click on the Pages section at the top - and then you can drag documents into the browser window to upload files - and you can select a file in the cloud to download to the Mac. I do this on my iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11. It's kind of slow - and you will get a warning that you may be using a supported browser - but it works.
    In any event, you can use iOS file sharing to send the Pages docs to your iPad. you have to connect to the Mac and do this via iTunes.

    Just tap the arrows in the toolbar in Safari to go back and forth. You can open multiple pages using tabs. tap on the + sign to add another tab in Safari.

  • How can i transfer al my data from a Sony laptop to a new macair?

    Hoy can i transfer all my data from a Sony laptop to new Mac airé?

    Just to add one extra explanation to simplify things:
    grab your (if you have one) external HD and move files (pics vids etc. documents) to same and load it to your macbook Air.
    Unless you are running bootcamp, I assume obviously there are no applications you're moving over from Win to Mac OSX.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

    Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

    Hi Vanessa,
    There are two ways to solve your problem.
    1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
    2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

    Hello,
    Please allow me to explain my situation:
    I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
    I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
    Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
    I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
    How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
    Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.
    Edward

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • How can I sync a (one) song from my computer to my iPad without syncing the entire library even though i have my iPad set to manually manage music?

    Whenever I try to move just one song from my iTunes library to my iPad, it will start syncing like 300 other songs randomly so I cancel everything. I have my iPad set to manually manage music but it still does that. And what's worse, I never get that one song I chose in the first place. The same thing with photos. I'll sync a photo and it starts syncing music as well. But at least I get the photo just fine.

    Easy solution when on itunes simply go to the music tab and press on music library then browse what file which contains the music you want to be added same with photos
