Transfer photos from PC to iPad

Transfer photos from PC to iPad

I am trying to transfer some photos I have on my PC to my iPad. I don't want to email them as there's loads to transfer. I found a similar question and tried to follow the instructions but they didn't work, possibly because the iTunes version I am using is more up to date.

I am using iTunes version 12.1.2.27 and an iPad with retina display running iOS 8.3.

I hooked my iPad up to my PC, opened iTunes and clicked on the Photos link to the left of the screen. However, the only thing which came up said 'iCloud photos is on' and I don't really know where to go from here.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

iOS 8.3

Well, I have not met the same problem with you and i made it to transfer photos from PC to iPad. Here is my way and i hope it can be helpful. Arrange all items you want to transfer into a folder. Plug your iPad into your computer. Once it has detected, Open iTunes and select the "Photos" tab. Check the "Sync Photos" box at the top to sync the entire folder you have created before to the device.

HI Mario49

The link does indeed seem to be what I'm looking for. However, when I click on the photos app in iTunes, I just get 'iCloud photos is on' and nothing about Syncing anything. I assume I need to change a setting somewhere but I'm not sure where.

Thanks

Jacqui
