I want to transfer data from my early 2015 13” MacBook Pro to my new 10th generation iPad. The cable that came with my iPad is not compatible with any of the ports on my MacBook Pro. Do I need a special adapter or something to facilitate this data transfer? Please help me :(

Presumably your iPad10 was supplied with a Lightning to USB-C charging/data cable - whereas your Mac computer may only have the older USB Type-A ports? If so, you simply require a Lightning to USB Type-A cable to connect your iPad to your computer:

If instead your Mac only has USB-C ports, you will instead require a Lightning to USB-C cable:

Where USB-C connections are involved, always use the correct cable. Don't be tempted by simple plug-adapters.

There are two possible solutions.
With old cables, the connection may not be adequate to transfer dada to your devices. The obvious solution, in this case, is to get a replacement cable.
But the Cloud could be your savior, since you don't need a cable, and your Mac Book should be Cloud-capable.
