How to transfer photos from iPad to Mac

[4miler]

I need to transfer photos from an iPad onto a computer, and I have access to a friend's Mac.

The Apple website provides instructions here

however, it just says to connect the iPad to the Mac, and I have no idea how to do that.

Can someone give me step-by-step instructions that do not assume any prior knowledge, e.g. I need to know how to connect the iPad to the Mac (Apple's instructions assume that newbies would know how to do that).

Also, it is a friend's Mac, and I would prefer to have a simple way of transferring the photos, rather than using iTunes, since I would prefer not to meddle with my friend's iTunes settings for his own computer.

Follow these instructions below:

• Turn your PC and iPad on.
• Connect your iPad with your PC.
• Open iTunes and select "Photos" under iPad.
• Click and drag the desired photos to your desktop and it will be transferred to your PC

Step 3 is wrong. Don't open iTunes, open My Computer. If there are any pictures on the iPad that can be copied to a computer, then iPad will show up as a removable drive. Drill down through the folders until you see the pictures, then drag and drop to where you want them on your PC.

Also, connect to a PC/Mac means plug the connection cable that came with the iPad into your iPad, then plug the other end into a USB port on the computer.
