Can a CD be downloaded onto an iPad Tablet?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just use iTunes. File -> add file to library or add folder to library. Then drag the files I want to the iPad icon. Can be done tethered or Wifi. This is for pdf files only, but I put them in a service manual folder in iBooks on the iPad.
Sure beats dragging a ton of service manuals in the field.

Until it was hacked by several apps in the app store...

It'll be rectangular connector if you have a current iPad. Otherwise, a flat 30 pin connector for past models.

Mine matches the picture on the left. Thanks....

Take a look at the photos on this Apple page. You'll have to scroll down to the Connectors section.

My iPad2 has the wide 30-pin connector. It looks like the other models have Lightning.

If there is, the Apple Store has it. Does your iPad have a Lightning connector or a 30-pin?

Then you need an App called iFiles ($4)

And make sure you buy what tou think you're buying because there are two adapters: one with USB, and one with a SD slot.

Or you can buy one with both for $5 delivered from China
