Can you get a picture from the photo booth, then get a local computer shop to upload it?

Our local Tesco has a photo department where they give you hard copy and a digital code, would that not do?

Surely, the OP could take a photo of themselves using their iPad or mobile phone? They don't need to go to a photo booth or Tesco to get a photo.

To ensure the photo taken on the iPad is in the correct format, go to 'Settings', select 'Camera', select 'Formats', and then select 'Most Compatible'. Or see the following:

That will save any photos taken from that point on in JPEG format.

Just make sure the photo you take complies with any rules the visa application has (plain background, no hats, facing forward, etc). Take a photo using your iPad and then you should be able to upload it to the visa application website.

(BTW, download usually means copying or transferring a photo from an external website or internet location onto your local device. Whereas I assume you want to transfer a photo on your iPad to the visa website - i.e. upload?)
