How to transfer files from windows to ipad

I have a huge grouping of Old Time Radio shows in a folder on my Windows XP Pro SP3 3 desktop computer.
I want to copy them to my iPad mini, or to my 5th gen. iPod Touch.
I know I can copy them on a thumb drive (the Windows computer does not "see" my iPad) to my MacBook Pro, which does see the iPad, but how do I make a file on the iPad to recieve the fiies?
While I do have an NAS unit, the iPad is not hooked into it, and Ihave no interest in getting an iCloud account.
What do I do?

You can also have a look at File Browser.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    how to transfer files from windows 7 pc to my new macbookpro

    You can use your external hard drive that is used to backup your important data to transfer the data from your PC to your Mac.
    If your Windows 7 PC is a laptop and you live near an Apple store, make an appointment at the Genius bar where they will help you transfer the data you want transferred from your PC to your MBP.

  • How to transfer files from iMac to iPad 2

    What's the best way to transfer files from iMac to iPad, like a Keynote presentation?

    It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

  • How To Transfer Files From Windows XP?

    I want to transfer some pictures and documents from my Windows XP SP3 desktop to my Mac Book.
    I have a memory stick (formated in FAT I think) and my CD burning software on the XP desktop can burn CDs in ISO+Joliet, ISOJolietUDF or ISO Level 2 formats. Can I use any of these are do I need to buy something else to transfer my files?

    A flash drive formatted FAT32 works fine since both XP and OS X can read from and write to a FAT formatted device.
    You can burn CDs if you need to otherwise save the data on the CDs, otherwise you're just going to waste them.

  • How to transfer music from laptop to ipad

    I have music in my laptop in itune folder.How do I transfer music from itune in laptop to itune in ipad2.

    If you have iTunes installed on the computer, you have to make sure it is the current version.
    Just run iTunes and go to "File > Check for Update" to check whether your iTunes is the latest one. Then, use USB cable to connect iPad with computer as well.
    After iTunes recognize your iTunes, just hit "iPad" tab under the "DEVICE" section of the iTunes sidebar. On the right screen, you can see a new window to list you all categories of iPad. Just hit "Music" tab. Check the box next to "Sync Music" and click the circle next to "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists and genres." Click the boxes next to specific artists, playlists and genres if you want to sync specific music to your iPad.
    Now, you may press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the main iTunes screen, followed by "Sync" in the same area to transfer the music to your iPad.

  • How to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    how to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    Depends what you are trying to transfer.
    Are you just trying to add content such as apps, music and photos?
    Or are these files that were created by such apps as pages and numbers?
    You can download content that was purchased in the itunes or app store by signing into same account.
    You can dowload any documents saved to icloud by signing into the same account.
    You can create a backup of the first ipad and restore the second from that backup.
    You can import or sync the content from the first ipad into itunes and then manually sync to the second.
    But this all depends on what you are actually trying to do.

  • I need to transfer files from a friends iPad to my desktop. Is this possible? If so, how?

    I need to transfer files from a friends iPad to my desktop. Is this possible? If so, how?

    Depending upon what the files are - The easiest way to do it - in my opinion - would be to email the files from your friend's iPad to you. You can't sync to another computer and email should work just fine. You email the files from within the app in which the file is saved or created. Most apps will have a tool icon or an arrow icon at the top if you tap on - it will give you an option to email the file
