You share very little information upon which to provide a definitive answer. Assuming that you have either a PC or Mac computer, the computer connection will either be the older/larger USB Type-A - or the newer smaller USB-C.


The tags appended to your post indicate that you have an iPad Pro 10.5”. This iPad has an Apple Lightning connector.


If the above assumptions are correct, you will require either a USB Type-A to Lightning cable - or a USB-C to Lightning cable:


  • Lightning to USB Cable (1m)
