I´ve got a boring old Nokia phone. I want to transfer photos to my nice new Ipad4. How? P.S. never used Bluetooth in my life - no idea how to use it.
iPad, iOS 7
How are you able to get those photos off your phone? Can you e-mail them off? Or are they on a memory card that you can plug into your computer?
The easiest would be to e-mail them to yourself, open that mail on your iPad and save the photos out of that mail.
Second easiest would be to get them on your computer and then use your computer to either e-mail them to yourself or sync them onto the iPad using iTunes. (although you should know that any photos synced onto the iPad using iTunes have to be unsynced off, you can't delete them, which is why I prefer the e-mail method)
Another way is to upload the photos from your phone to something like dropbox (presuming it's a smart phone and can use dropbox, if not, get them onto your computer and use your computer to upload them to dropbox) then use the dropbox app to download them onto your iPad.

Thank you very much. But I´ve never put photos from my phone to my computer. No idea how to do so. Then how to use Itunes from my computer? - Even more - no idea. I have never connected my Ipad to my computer. Is there an easy way?
Forgive my ignorance of the Nokia phone. Does it run on the Android OS? Is it a smartphone? If it is, look at this app. I use it myself and it works really well and it is extremely easy to use.

I'd try old school before I messed with bluetooth. There's a very good chance that bluetooth isnt' meant for data transfer as much as simply hooking the phone up to a hands free in your car.
Does your Nokia have a memory card? Can you get the photos onto the memory card in your phone? (I have a dumb phone and I can tell the camera to send all photos/videos to the memory card)
Once those photos are on the memory card, turn your phone off and remove the card from your phone.
Did that memory card come with an adapter? Most mini or micro SD cards (which is the most common type) come with an adapter to make them fit into the slot for regular SD cards. If they don't have that adapter then you may need to look for one.
Use the adapter to hook the card to your comptuer then pull the photos off the card and onto your computer
If there is no adapter you might look on the Nokia site, they may have some sort of program you can install on your computer to allow it to access the phone's interface.
Doubtful that you can use bluetooth. You probably need to download the pics to your computer and then, using iTunes, transfer to the iPad.
Cheers, Tom 😉
Is this a typical Apple response?

No. As I said - it is a boring old Nokia. Not a smartphone. But it does has bluetooth.
