Q: File Sharing Using iTunes

When I open Itunes and click on File, then devices, my only options are "sync ipad", "transfer purchases from ipad", "backup", and "restore from backup". I don't see any other place to click on devices or any place to select ipad. What am I missing?

iPad, Windows XP, iPad Mini

    The iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get a document/file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi networkd, email, dropbox etc.
