Q: how do i transfer photo's from computer to my ipad

There are several ways. There are apps specific for photo syncing/transfer. I don't use them so I can't recommend any.

You can use iTunes. Put your photos in a folder on your computer. Open iTunes, connect your device and navigate to the folder you just made. Choose to sync that folder and do a sync and the photos move over to your device. That particular method has a pit fall in that what you sync on you have to use iTunes to sync off. You can't delete them.

If you only have a few photos you can e-mail them to yourself and save from that e-mail. Or you can look to a service like dropbox, where you upload them and use your device to download them.

If you have Macbook the Itunes are downloaded automatically. If you don't have a Macbook than you have to download itunes. Once you download you'll se a little button on the top right hand corner and it says Ipad. After that go and click and go to pictures. Then sync and all the photos will be in your Laptop or Computer.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.

Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
