Apple iPad Camera Connector query

for starters i have a Sony Digital Still Camera so the Apple card reader wont be any good for that.
Although i do have a perfectly good USB Card reader that can cope with every memory card that was ever made, so copying from Sony Memory Card to SD card isnt a problem.
However my question is this :- if i can put my photos for the iPad2 into my PC iTunes Program why do i need the Apple iPad Camera Connector ?.
On the other hand, wouldn't it sometimes be easier/quicker to put MUSIC onto a SD Memory Card (instead of into iTunes), so why cant i transfer Music to the iPad2 using this Memory Card reader, or perhaps i can but it isnt documented ?.
Does this Memory card reader fit onto iPad1 as well ?.
i think i will have to give it a rest asking all these questions, and perhaps patiently wait until we actually have one of these iPad2 gadgets in our grubby little hands.

Hey Tim
Yep the cam connector is really only for transferring photos. To be honest I wouldn't spend money on this UNTIL you find a real need. If you are just a casual photographer then you will find it just as easy to store photos on your cameras storage card until you get back home, and then transfer them to your iPad via iTunes. Some more serious or professional photographers want to back up photos via iPad before they get home in case of loss etc. Or to display to clients.
Don't worry about asking lots of questions - the better prepared you are the more you will enjoy your iPad, plus it adds to the excitement
PS the kit does have a few extra uses that might just interest you if it's your thing

  • Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit compatibility

    I was wondering, will the iPad 2 recognize the iPhone 5s when using Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit? I saw that there are two connectors that come with the kit. If i use the connector that has the camera emblem and plug  it to connect my 5s, will it recognize it as a camera? I talked to Apple chat and they were no help as they suggested me to message myself the videos. We all know that messaging decompressed files and whatnot. Anyone has experience on this? I just want an easy way transferring pictures and videos taken with the iPhone to my iPad without using a computer or laptop.

    Yes, if you plug the CCK into your iPad 2 and plug the USB cable to your iPhone 5s and into the CCK your iPad 2 should see the photos in the Camera Roll on your iPhone. The iPhone, in this case, looks like a camera to the iPad 2.

  • Audio line out port (Apple iPad Dock Connector) not working Iphone 4 os 4.2

    For my new iphone4, the audio line out port (Apple iPad Dock Connector)is not working. Both using a cable to mini jack (3,5 mm) or in dockingstation.
    I'm using OS 4.2.
    IS this a bug?
    Thanks
    Hans

    I just came back from the Apple store.  My iPhone4 DOES have a working line out when plugged into a Apple name brand dock connector.   I don't know why my SendStation refuses to work only with the iPhone4 yet works with iPods, etc..
    Solution? I'm buying an Apple iPod dock connector for home and will try to find something with line out for the car - Apple says they do not make one.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • Buying "apple iPad camera connection kit" HELP

    If I brought the "apple iPad camera connection kit" which includes (a SD card port and a USB port) . And I use it on my iPad 2 can I plug in a USB memory stick in the USB pot on one of the connections in the kit, and transfer images from my iPad to the memory stick?
    Please help me!!!!!!!!
    Many thanks :)

    No you can't.  The camera connection kit is a one way device, which will only let you download pictures from a memory card to your iPad.  You can not then upload them to a memory stick from iPad.

  • Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, can I use it with USB speakers?

    I have a speaker system which has a USB connection so can i use Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit to listen to the music from my iphone 4 on to the speakers..will the camera connection kit support it?

    The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting a camera or SD card to your iPad and downloading photos. It is not a general USB port addition to your iPad.

  • RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

    Hi all
    First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
    Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
    I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
    For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

    Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

  • Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit.  I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad.  So incredibly frustrating.  Apple please fix this.

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

  • HT202037 Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit: Videos showing up green.

    I bought the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, the SD card one, and I can import pictures and videos to my Ipad and the pictures turn out just fine but some of the videos show up green and they won't play. I have the iPad mini and its on iOS 8.1.2 and the camera I am using is a Nikon 1 S1 model. Is there a way to get the videos to show up correctly and work?

    It is likely that the Nikon shoots in a video format that the iPad does not support.

  • IPad Camera Connector

    Has anyone tried using an iPad Camera Connector with an iPhone? If so does it work? In other words, is there a way to download photos from a camera or card to use the iPhone like a photo bank similar to how an iPad does?

    Elevator Guy wrote:> Has anyone tried using an iPad Camera Connector with an iPhone?
    Great idea. Alan Sampson is correct in that the iPad SD reader is technically not supported by the iPhone. However, using Zoomit was a really interesting approach that I never thought of.
    So, I tried it and it does NOT work. Rats - terrific idea. Conclusion: You have to buy Zoomit's proprietary $60 SD reader to upload images to your iPhone.

    I don't own the Zoomit SD reader, but it supposedly does exactly what you asked.

  • Apple iPod Camera Connector and iPod shuffle to ditch the FM transmitter?

    In the latest Wired magazine Test issue there are a number of hardwire setups for playing your iPod through your car's stereo. Most of the hardwires are for iPod and Nano. Could you use the Apple iPod Camera Connector as an interface so your shuffle will play through the hardwire system? The connector has a USB port on it and the dock connector so it would attach to the hardwire system.
    In theory that works right?

    Nope wouldn't work. IF you have a stereo with an Ipod interface though you would probably also have an AUX port you could use to plug into the Shuffle's earphone port.
