APOGEE Jam or BEHRINGER UCG102+Apple camera kit ?

Hi all !
So I want to plug my guitar into garageband, and at some point maybe a keyboard or other instruments.
So I was wondering if there was any difference between using an Apogee Jam (that is more expensive, and hard to find in Europe for the time being) or the behringer thing + the Apple camera kit, that will be used to connect my camera every now and then too (duhh).
Is there a quality difference between the two setups ? Any latency on either of the two ?
What would you suggest ?
I would use it at first with garageband and Ampkit+ for the iPad, and if the harware allows it (hence option 2), on the mac...
Thanx for your input !

Philippe-
I don't know the answer, but do know the Apple Camera Connection Kit could be a problem. It does not support much besides a camera or USB camera card adapter. I've heard that it may support a USB keyboard, but some do not work.
I suggest you contact the GarageBand App's author to find out if it will work the way you want to use it. Perhaps Behringer would be able to tell you.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HT4101 My Apple camera kit no longer recognizes SD cards. I'm running iOS6.1.2.

I have used the Apple camera kit with a previous verson of iOS and it worked fine, but since I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 the pad no longer recognizes the SD reader or the USB connector. However, when I go to "settings","about" the hardware is listed. Is this a software problem or is the camera kit obsolete?
Thanks
Wes

Mine works.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Has anybody with experience using non apple camera kit

I do not own ipad but intends to purchase one.
I would wish a camera connection kit for iPad and am aware of one sold by Apple.
I came across the following in Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/connection-protectors-included--similar-MC531ZM/dp/B0040 FUOUM/ref=sr12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1300954916&sr=1-2
Does anybody have experience in using such similar non-Apple camera kit on an iPad?
Regards

The reviews state that the device doesn't work with iOS 4.2. So, I would guess it doesn't work and wouldn't buy it.

IPad 3: problem downloading Nikon D3100 images off Apple Camera Kit SD cardreader

Hi All,
   I got a new iPad 3 and would like to download images taken with a Nikon D3100 through the SD card reader. When I insert the SD card (SanDisk 64 GB Ultra) into the Apple Camera Kit SD card reader, a message immediately pops up saying that "Content Not Available: Cannot Read the Connected Storage Media".
I can see the images on the camera so I know they have not been erased or corrupted.   I am traveling and do not have a USB cable. The SD card was previously formatted in the camera.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Is there a compatibility issue for Nikon with iPhoto?
I am on the road and very much like to be able to download and share images with family ASAP.
Thanks

You import photos using the Photos app, not iPhoto app.
If you can get access to your friends computer, there's another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

When will the apogee jam become available? Apple.ca always says product unavailable. Thanks.

Looking to get an Ipad 2, but was hoping to get an Apogee Jam. It appears that it is always 'unavailable' on the website. I understand there may be some problems. I was wondering when I could order one online. Thanks.

Hi David,
as always, this is a matter of where we are with development. Ramp up is a phase where we allow customers to work productively with the software, but be sure we have only limited number of users to be able to handle any upcoming incidents.
Once we're sure enough, we announce unrestricted availability. Usually the period is about 6 month. This means that the planned general availability is around end of this year.
Please be aware of the little word planned. This means that SAP could also shift the date to whatever seems appropriate.
Regards,
Benny

IPad and Camera Kit

I plan on getting the Apple "camera kit" for the iPad, so that I can upload photos and video from a camera while traveling.
Apple says that you will be able to transfer photos AND video.
But I had a question.
I will have a Canon DSLR T2i(rebel) that shoots 1080p HD video as well as 720p as well as 640 x 480 video.
I am also thinking of getting the smaller FLIP camcorders or the Kodak Zi8. They both shoot HD video, but the flip transfers via usb and the kodak has removable SD cards.
Basically, does anybody know if you'll be able to transfer 1080p video clips to the ipad? Or at least 720p HD clips?
Thanks for any and all help or advice concerning this question.
Also...not a question, but I hope Apple releases a "lite" version of iLife(imovie/iweb/garageband) for the ipad, like they did with iwork.
Peace out.

I can't comment on 1080p but 720p videos from my Nikon D90 import and play on the iPad without a problem. RAW files and jpgs also import fine.
I also have a flip video ultra HD that will connect to the iPad and I can copy the files to the iPad but I cannot view them on the iPad. So with regards to the Flip video camera, the iPad can only be used as a backup device.
The weird thing is when I connect the flip video to the iPad, in the import screen, iphoto does show thumbnails for the individual clips. Perhaps, the flip video embeds a jpg thumbnail for sorting, preview, etc. or the ipads can view that file format but apple has decided not to include it in the OS.

HT4101 Get No Photos to Import on New Camera Kit New SD Card whcih took many before. What happened ?

New IPad 2; bought Apple Camera Kit; use SD Card - copied pictures on it then Imported to iPad Photos.
Then when I placed more on SD and try to import I get message "No New Photos to Add" Over and Over Again .
I tell you if this is about these pics/vids wwere not taken with i_device, Apple needs to be sued - again.
This company was borne out of Openness - I still remember. Now it appears to be closed except iTunes and dollars, but yo don;t get that when you buy the device. This IS highly proprietary !!!!

Friend, you say "The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces)" What if one has several hundred photos/files. Renameing them on my computer each 8 characters long adds an extension (1), (2), (3), and so on. For example, "JUNE2014(1). The connection kit won't read the photos due to the extra (1). How can I fix this without having to rename each of the hundreds of photos one by one?
Thank you, Cisco.

Apple Camera Connection Kit and iPad 2 IOS7 work?

I Have an iPad 2 running IOS 7.1. I was wondering if I bought the Apple Camera Connection Kit (genuine 29$ one) if it would import photos and videos from my camera? Thanks.

Hi Breanna2405,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are curious about the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. The kit comes with two connectors, each with a different interface. The kit has a USB interface that you can use to attach your digital camera or iPhone to and it also has an SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from your camera’s SD card. The following product information can be found on the link below.

Apple Camera Connection Kit

Does the Apple Camera Connection Kit enable to use all USB audio interfaces with GarageBand on the iPad? Even on the Mac some audio interfaces require drivers. How does it work on the iPad? Is there a list of supported audio interfaces that can be used with the GarageBand on the iPad?

No. Only core audio or midi devices work. Here's a list that works for the Auria app on the iPad... most probably would work with Garageband:

Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files?

Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files? I need to import large (60MB plus) .PDF files created in Powerpoint to my iPad. They are too large to be practical for e-mail.

Open GoodReader on the iPad. Click on the wifi icon in the menu bar at the bottom of the app. A popup window will open up giving you your local URL. Open Safari on the desktop computer and place that URL in the address bar. A page will open up with directions on how to send a file. The file will be send over the wifi connection to your iPad.
To add a little... In Safari on the desktop computer. Select file to upload: Choose file--->Navigate to the file on your desktop computer---> Click on the Upload selected file button. There will be a red warning box in the popup window on the iPad. When that disappears the the transfer is complete. If you get a warning can't find page in Safari you don't have the wifi connection in Goodreader turned on. Just click on the wifi icon button in Goodreader to fix. You can bookmark the URl in Safari fir later use.

I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transfert it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

If you are adding the photos yourself, then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. in the same format as if your digital camera had written them.

Have you tried resetting your phone and/or your iPad? Hold down the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears. Might help. Can't hurt.

Apogee Jam No longer working after 1.1 update?

My apogee jam is no longer working after updating to Garageband 1.1. I have an Ipad 2 with firmware 4.3.3.
Specifically what happens is:
1. I open the garageband app
2. I select the guitar amp
3. I plug the Jam chord into Ipad (guitar is already connected to cord)
4. Jam light goes green, blue, bright green then green
When Jam light goes bright green, the monitor button in garageband goes dim and doesn't work.
I've tried plugging my guitar in first, then starting garageband, no difference in results.
I have tried turning the monitor "on" prior to pluging in the jam, when I do this the monitor/sound gate window stays open until the Jam bright green goes on, then it disappears and the monitor button goes dim.
Outside the garageband app, the ipad does recognize the Jam in settings, general.
What's worse (for me...) is that I backed up the Ipad in itunes thinking that app data would also be backed up (as I read that in a description of backup). I then deleted garageband from the ipad and then restored it from itunes. Guess what, lost all my songs... Bummed out... Why wouldn't my songs be backed up???
Anyway, any ideas on the Jam issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I am just overlooking a setting?

Unfortunately, I don't believe that Apple keeps prior versions of Apps available at the store. GB was the first app I purchased there day one of my Ipad, incredibly worth the $, and I did actually look to see if you could go back legitimately.This is just one of the many reasons to JBreak your devices, so that you can go backward if you need to. This is a perfect example of why Apple should make prior versions available, but they think they know it all and never make mistakes, so that will never happen. Again, this is why folks take things into their own hands and why the scene exists. There are plenty of abuses, more than not IMO, but here is a perfect example of how people are screwed and can't use their Jams any longer without a JBroken device. They obviously know that this issue exists, they have employees on these forums. It will be months if ever they fix this issue, because the number of owners of Jam, although in the thousands, is small potatoes compared to the Apple owner universe. I believe it will only be fixed if Apogee is able to put enough pressure on Apple. If you see the Jam removed from the Apple store and GB site you know that Apple is choosing not to fix it, because they won't sell or promote it directly and then have to deal with complaints and returns. But even this will happen slowly...
Actually it occurs to me that Apogee may have to redesign the Jam AGAIN in order to get it working with 1.1 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s (devices with the newer processor). I wonder if they will recall or replace the Jams for people who now have Jams not compatible with Garageband. Again, Apple should be posting a warning for Jam owners on the Garageband download page, but that will never happen because Apple doesn't care about small potatoes.

IPad 3 ios 6.0.1 Causing camera kit issues

Hi there,
I would like to point out that earlier this month we got an update for the iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1, which I promptly updated mine. Everything was working fine, until yesterday.
Yesterday I had clicked few snaps during the evening and wanted to edit the same on my iPad 3 and transfer the same via the apple SD Card reader camera kit which I have just recently bought a month back. When I connected the SD card reader to the iPad 3, guess what nothing showed up, usually the photo app comes up with the SD photographs.
Apparently the SD card was not recognized by iPad itself. I thought the SD card was faulty so I switched over to the USB connection kit and connected my Nikkon D3000 to the iPad 3 over the usb cable, and guess what, nothing happened here either.
This brought me to the point that, how can both of the connection kits won’t work at the same time, and then it struck me that I had recently done and iOS update to 6.0.1 and that could be one of the possibilities of it not working properly. Normal function of Apple is to kill the old version of the kits / connectors / docks when there is an update of the software, that’s what I have seen and suffered in the past with my docks.
Since my cousin also has an iPad camera kit but is using an iPad 2 with iOS 6.0.1, I used his kit on his iPad 2 and to my wonder the SD Card reader read my memory card and showed up all the photos on the photo app. So I then used his SD Card kit on my iPad 3, after 2 - 3 tries it worked. So at that point I imported all the pics I required.
Now I switched back to my SD CARD READER and tried it on my iPad 3, vola it worked, but it took it time to show up. With few more tries of removing and inserting the connector kit again to check, it worked every single time. I guess the kit I am using got hung or something and just required another one to clean / remove the hang/bug.
Now I wanted the usb connector to work as well, so I used a usb 2 gb Sandisk fat32 formatted stick and made a DCIM folder and added few files from my computer and tried it on, and this time the iPad 3 read the usb stick and showed me the few files on it.
After which I tried to connect the SD CARD reader again to check if it would work after the usb connection, it worked but was apparently showing me the usb stick files on the screen rather than the SD Card pics. On re inserting it, it came back to normal. Same thing happened when I tried the usb connection next time, it would show the SD Card files and not the USB files, but with reinserting it would solve the problem.
And this is the issue I am facing at present, if I use the SD CARD reader first and import my files, the next connection via USB or again SD CARD or via USB and camera cable, it will first show me the images of the previous connection and not the current ones. I have to reinsert it again to clear the old file cache and to show me the new current pics which I want to import fresh.
Soo could you please advice me on the follow:
Why did the connectors did not work at first on the iPad 3 ?
Could there be a bug in the iOS 6.0.1 for the iPad 3, as this problem is not seen on iPad 2?
Do advice.
Connector Details:
USB Connector Model No.: A1358
SD Connector Model No.: A1362
Bought in October 2012.
iPad Deatials:
iPad 3 64gb + Wifi + 3G Cellular, bought in June, Australia Airport.
