Can anyone advise me how to transfer photos from my iPad to my laptop. Goggle says to connect iPad to laptop and the go to find iPad on the laptop, go to DCIM and then copy photos, but my DCIM says empty but I have loafs of photos on the iPad. The laptop is wndows 7 vista. Would be grayeful for any help.

If you can see the folder on the IPad, that is a start, do you have an SD card plugged in and is it possible you are looking for photos in the wrong folder? In DCIM are there other folders?

Do you not have the pics in iCloud?

If not upload to icloud from ipad

Then simply log in to icloud on laptop and download

or better still use 'Google Photos' on both devices

they have to be inside a folder somewhere on your device. can you search for file format jpg etc.

alternatively install google photos on phone and access photos from laptop. unlimited storage is free for photos < 16 megapixels

If as so often happens to me, there is no internet then only small versions of the pics is available!
So one of these is handy to put the pics on when internet is available then they are OK to use on iPad and Macbook.

I'd also recommend Google Photos too-far easier than Apple's offering.
