He opted out of iCloud, but transferring 10's of GB's of photos over the Internet is not a good solution anyway.
The workaround I found was to use iTunes on the PC (well, that's the only choice anyway) and have it backup the iPad to PC. Then go into Windows Explorer, set it to show hidden files, go to the user profile directory, go to the Application Data subdirectory, go to the iTunes subdirectory, go to the backups subdirectory, and then find the directory for the iPad backup you just did. In this directory, you will find the content files from the iPad individually backed up to the PC but all the files will have strings of random letters and numbers for filenames and will be missing any file extensions. Copy these files into another directory, add JPEG extensions to the filenames, and then try opening them to see if they are really JPEGs. The ones that are JPEGs, you keep and rename their random character filenames to something more appropriate. The ones that aren't, you delete, or, if you know what kind of file they are supposed to be, you rename, give it the appropriate file extension instead and test opening/playback to verify.
stuckonduhmode: Not that this was meant to be a comparison, but Android does not have this problem, obviously, because, out of box, Android doesn't restrict user access to and transfer of their own content files. A simple USB connection to the PC would have been all it took for an Android device. There is no need to fling stones at anyone else over this. I feel this is an iTunes problem. iTunes was not designed to handle photos properly, and it feels like something that was added on at the last second. The camera adapter kit also seems half-baked, in my opinion. Not only does it have this problem of only transferring files one way, it handles video files wrong. Video files are imported into the same destination as the photos, so the video files do not show up in the Movies app. I guess the real culprit there is Apple's Photo app because that is the program that handles the camera adapter transfer. Not only do the videos end up showing in the Photos app instead of the Movies app and can't be moved, for some reason, they don't play despite being Apple Quicktime .mov videos. Thanks for the app suggestion. I will let him know about it, though I was hoping to find a solution that doesn't require spending even more money on this.
