How to transfer files to Ipad 2 from windows pc ?

Hi,


Just a few weeks ago I got Ipad 2 as a gift. While for browsing and reading newspaper it is good, it is frustrating that I can not connect a USB flash drive as there is no port.


  1. Pl advise as to how can I connect/transfer files using USB flashdrives? Should I buy a cable?
  2. I have I tunes in my Wondows XP PC. I want to sync with my PC's music files; And it does not recodnize Ipad. Where do I get drivers for that?



Thanks in advance.

Here is the link for the User Guide http://support.apple.com/manuals/ have a quick read at that.


You cannot transfer with a USB flash drive.


Try reinserting the iPad cable into a different USB port on your computer, even a number of times. If that does not work see here -

When you have your iPad connected to your computer you can easily add files to the app using iTunes.


Click on your iPad under "Devices" in the left-hand menu in iTunes. Click on "Apps" at the top of the screen (between "Info" and "Music"). Scroll down to the "File Sharing" area. Listed under "Apps" are all of the programs that can share files...files you can add on the iPad or move from the iPad to your computer. Just drag and drop your presentation or other files into the right-hand document area. You can also use the "Add" button at the bottom.


With regard to transferring files via a USB thumb drive using the iPad's USB Connection Kit, no that's not possible at this time. There are other methods (and apps), both wired and wireless that allow files to be transferred, but I think for your purposes doing what I described above should work fine.
