I have just purchased an Ipad Air 4th generation, which USB cable should I purchase to connect it to my laptop. I purchased a USB-C to USB and it doesn't fit:( I am not a very techy person, actually I am not even sure if I need a USB cable at all? Am assuming if I need to move documents/photos from PC to Ipad, it will be handy. Thanks
iPad Air, 14
If your laptop has USB-A (standard) ports, you need an USB-C (your iPad port) to USB-A adapter AND an USB-A to USB-A cable. The adapter is this one:--> https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1M2AM/A/usb-c-to-usb-adapter?afid=p238%7Cs1atTyezl-dc_mtid_187079nc38483_pcrid_432420052044_pgrid_103539534634_&cid=aos-it-kwgo-pla-btb--slid---product-MJ1M2ZM/A-IT

Thanks for your reply Giulio. I think what I have purchased is the adapter (as it looks exactly like the pic in the link you sent) so it seems as though I need to purchase the USB A to USB A cable part?
Can I just confirm that the cable is not an Apple product, as I couldn’t find one online at their store. So I can just buy any make of cable?
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

My pleasure, Manon :)
Yes, the USB-A to USB-A cable is a common male-to-male USB cable. Buy a good one.
Take care.
