Several ways to do that, depending on what OS you have.

Ohh, thanks a lot! I was trying to make that way too difficult.

If I wanted to watch stuff on my tv through my iPad would this be the correct adapter?

email or icloud?

Does your iPad charger look like this?

If so, then that is the correct adapter.

Yup. Made a run to Walmart late last night (shudder).

Got the cord just to realize I didn't have an HDMI cord when I got home. Goddammit!

You, sir, are a prophet...

Even though this is waaaaay old input by now my most used apps are:

Pretty much the entire google app suite
Evernote
Noteshelf (for it's handwriting recognition with stylus, I also use a bluetooth keyboard heavily with other apps)
Dropbox
GoTasks
Amazon
f5 Edge Client
RDP Mocha
CloudOn
Skitch

Well that's the thing. I don't really use my iPad anymore, and I've divested myself completely of the Apple iTunes/iCoud infrastructure. But a friend put a couple of pictures on there, and I wanted them on my other computer. I figured I could just do share, and then email to myself. Or something. I just wanted the damn files. But it was giving me all sorts of trouble and frustrating me.

Of course, the easy thing to do was just plug the ****ing thing into my computer, and that worked fine. It's funny how when you go so long without using cords, you ignore the most obvious solution. And, in fairness, if I had set it up with my Google Drive account, I bet that would have made things easier as well. So mainly me being an idiot.
