Camera connection kit and photo stream

As many people nowadays, I don't carry a digital camera with me all the time, and most of my casual photographs are taken with my cellphone, which happens to be an iphone 4.
Since the introduction of photo stream, the process of organizing the digital photos taken with the phone, has ended being a hassle, since all photos automatically are imported to iphoto. But now, I would like to switch to another mobile platform, and obviously, I will be giving up this benefits.
I do have a 3rd gen ipad (so I won't be missing iOS), and my question is if the camera connection kit can be use to accomplish what with the iphone is done automatically. I mean, can i do the following steps?
1) Continue taking all the casual photographs with the new cellphone, regardless of it's mobile platform,
2) Connect the phone to the ipad via the camera connection kit,
3) Import to the ipad all the photographs taken,
4) Photo stream with it's magic, will automatically import those photographs to iphoto,
5) Continue (somehow) enjoying the benefits of automatical photo organization.
I assume that the answer is affirmative, but I would like that someone that already has the camera connection kit help me, before i go out and make the purchase.
Thanks!

The CCK recognizes most cameras and card readers, but the only way to know if it will recognize a cellphone is to try it out.  It all depends on how a handshake (or whatever it's called nowadays) is negotiated.  I guess it would work most of the time, but it may vary depending on the model.

  • TS3989 I do not see any photos copied to iPad using iPad camera connection kit before PhotoS Stream and iCloud were enabled.

    I had no problem importing photos to my iPad using the iPad camera connection kit, but now that they are there, I can not get them back off of my iPad.  I have set up an iCloud account and enabled Photo Stream on my iPad, downloaded and installed the iCLoud control pannel for Windows, enabled Photo Stream there, and set the download and upload folders.  In my "Photos" on iPad I curently have 3 albums: Camera Roll, All Imported, and a sigle folder with some of the photos included in the "All Imported" folder.  If I select Photo Stream, there are no photos present, and the note at the bottom explains that it uploads and stores the last 30 days of photos on iCloud and downloads them to all my devides... except.. I just enabled iCloud, and the pix were imported 6 months ago.  I really see no logical way of getting them back off this device.  Can anyone help highlight what I have overlooked?  Thanks.  -njw

    Never mind... when all else fails... use a cable.  D'Ohhh...

  • Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash

    Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash. Tried importing photo from an iPhone 4/ Panasonic DMC-FX50 via USB and SD card but without success. However, importing video from a Flip Mino HD is ok. Can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong

    Have you tried a reset by holding the power and home buttons for ten seconds until the apple appears?
    Since it's multiple different import devices not working with the CCK, it appears to be on the iPad side...
    If the reset doesn't help, try a restore from within iTunes on the computer.

  • IPad Camera Connection Kit and iPhone 3GS

    I just got home with a Camera Connection kit and while it works with an iPhone 4 and even with an old iPhone 3G I had lying around, it doesn't work with my iPhone 3GS, giving me a "The attached accessory uses too much power" error. Both the iPad and the iPhone work normally (and the iPhone's warranty expired 5 months ago). I have already tried to reset settings, reboot both the iPad and the iPhone and still couldn't getit to work. Is there anything I need to know to make it work with the 3GS running 4.2.1?

    Here are some picturres of what is happening. If it works with the iPhone 3G and the 4, it should work with the 3GS as well...

  • Camera Connection Kit and MIDI keyboard: device not supported

    I have a Roland RD-700SX stage piano and would like to be able to play sounds from my iPad 2 synth app (Sunrizer) via the real keyboard. Got the camera connection kit and plugged into the Roland, but the iPad tells me the RD device is not supported. How do I get it supported?
    I've read that there may be issues with iOS 8 (I have 8.1.2). Is that truly the case?

    After the original introduction of the iPad 2, Apple reduced to power levels of the 30 pin connector so as to severely limit the type of USB peripherals that can be used with iPads. There is no way, any longer,  to use a USB device that draws too much power from iPad's that use the 30-pin connector.
    I am not sure if that is still true of newer iPad's that use the Lightning type connector, but you can NOT use any high power USB device with any iPad OR any other older iDevice that uses the older 30-pin connector.
    This is NOT an IOS issues or limitation, but a hardware limitation.

  • TS1702 Using an iPad camera connection kit and a MIDI to USB cable to interface a MIDI keyboard with GarageBand. It works flawlessly... almost...

    I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a MIDI to USB cable to interface a MIDI keyboard with GarageBand. It works flawlessly... until I use the sustain pedal. Once the pedal is depressed while playing a given note, from then on, the pedal itself plays the note every time it is depressed. It's not the keyboard or the pedal. I've tried others. That leaves the app or the connection between the iPad and the keyboard. I find it hard to believe I'm the only person who is experiencing this problem. Anyone have a fix?

    Yes.  There are a ton of write-ups on how to do the connections.   I connect my m-audio Keystation 61 es through the CCK to my iPad and use GarageBand to control it.  Some keyboards require a powered USB hub to make things work.  I use a belkin 4 port hub in my own setup.   Here is a link to tested / verified keyboards that work via the CCK:  http://iosmidi.com/devices/

  • Does anyone know if MOV or MP4 files from the JVC GY-HM150U will work with the Camera Connection Kit and then be readable by iMovie or similar apps?

    The JVC GY-HM150U camera and others in it's line say they offer recording in two different formats:
    Native .MOV format
    Fastest HD shoot to edit workflow. Edit immediately on Final Cut Pro™ or Premiere™ without conversion or transcoding
    Native .MP4(XDCAM-EX™) format
    Native File Recording
    Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple's Final Cut Pro™ editing system. Both HD and SD MOV files recorded by the camcorder can be dropped directly into Final Cut Pro™, keeping them first-generation and eliminating the time-consuming process of file conversion.For users of all major NLE systems, including solutions from Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley, Vegas and Apple, the GY-HM150U supports the MP4 file format, which can be brought into your editing system without re-encoding.
    HD VIDEO RECORDING
    Recording media
    SDHC (Class 6/10), SDXC Slots: x 2

    and the files recorded to folders labeled "CQAV" (.MOV) or "BPAV" (.MP4), respectively, located in /PRIVATE/JVC/ off the root.
    So will the Camera Connection Kit see them properly and transfer them over to Photos, and then will iMovie be able to handle them? Or is the CCK restricted to only formats derived from DSLR cameras with "DCIM" folders, as I have heard?
    Any knowledge, especially first hand testing, would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    David

    Excuse the late post but just wondering if you came up with a solution for this problem? I experienced the exact same issue but copying the movies from Aperture into iTunes (which worked) still didn't allow them to be played on the iPad. As they had played faultlessly when imported directly from the camera connection kit!

  • 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.

  • Problem with camera connection kit and IOS 5

    Since I upgraded my IPAD 2 to IOS 5 camera connection kit is no longer working properly:
    - when importing from a given CF card for the first time camera connection kit it is working with my camera (Canon EOS 7D)
    - however, as soon as i take additional photos on a non-empty CF card, things start getting weird when importing:
       - duplicates are no longer reliably recognized (some of the photos imported before are indicated as duplicates others not), hence an incremental upload of photos is no longer viable
         - some RAW photos are corrupted during import (it shows an "RAW" icon in the photo app, but no preview and the photo cannot be enlarged)
    I never had such problems with IOS 4.x I'm really frustrated about IOS 5.0 since camera conenction kit and the ability to deal with RAW photos were my main reasons to buy an IPAD...
    Anybody experiencing  similiar problems? Any viable workarounds?
    Thanks
    Claudio

    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.

  • Camera connection kit import photo limit of 16GB fixed?

    Last fall there was a discussion of a limitation of 16GB on photos in the iPad.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12297747
    I haven't been able to find out whether this was resolved with an iOS 4.x update or the problem persists. This might not be a limitation of the camera connector kit itself, but rather the photos app, either for total number or data size of photos, but regardless this is critical for me.
    I was planning on a 64GB iPad 2 with the idea of being able to backup two cameras for at least 6 weeks of travel, which will easily go over the 16GB with raw imports and possibly with JPG imports as well.
    My alternative would be a MacBook Air, but that's at least an extra pound and obviously has a different usability and cost profile.

    I am also very interested in the answer to this question. Does the iPad 2 remove the iPad 1 photo limitations?
    I have a 64GB iPad 2 on order, but I want to know if I can use the camera connection kit to backup a 32GB SDHC card filled with jpeg images on it from a point and shoot camera. Will the software and hardware be able to handle moving around 40-50GB of images to the platform, browse them on the iPad, and then ultimately move them from the iPad to my primary machine back home? If it works - great! If it crashes and doesn't work due to the volume and size of photos (14 mega pixel), I would like to know now so I can figure out a work-around storage solution.
    Has anyone tried this with their iPad 2 yet??
    Thanks in advance!

  • IPad camera connect kit and iPhone 4

    Will you be able to use the SD version of the iPad camera connection kit with the iPhone 4 to transfer photos to the iPhone?
    TIA

    I have both iPad Wifi 64GB and iPhone4 16GB. Apple did this one right. Just plug in the camera connector with USB to the iPad, use your 30 pin to USB iPhone4 connector, and the videos/photos on the iPhone4 show right up in the iPad, select and transfer.
    This means you can record on the iPhone4, HD video, and view it on the iPad. Yes, some will grouse that the camera should be on the iPad, and one day it will be. For now, however, the two are a great duo. I'm taking them both to China, with a Blue Mikey for CD quality audio.
    I wish iMovie for iPhone4 was so good. It is not, yet, not nearly. Very disappointing.

  • Third Party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit and iOS 4.2

    Has anyone tried the third party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit with iOS 4.2? This is the connector that has both the SD slot as well as the USB slot in one unit, rather than the two separate units on the Apple branded one. The third party one is cheaper and 1 less thing to carry around or potentially lose.
    Thanks!

  • Problems with camera connection kit and charging

    I've got the iPad 1 and recently got a camera connection kit. After I used it, I tried to charge my iPad but it won't charge. The website says to just disconnect then reconnect the charger and it'll charge. I tried it at least four five times. I even tried restarting my iPad several times an it didn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Do you get the msg at the top of the screen that it's not charging? What if you plug the cable into your computer? Are you sure the 30-pin connector if fully seated?
    Try these.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Wake/Sleep (On/Off) button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad. Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and Restart does not work.
        1.    Begin by pressing the Wake/Sleep (On/Off) and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds). The Wake/Sleep button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The Home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad's front
        2.    Continue to hold these buttons until one of two things happen: either the screen will flash and go dark, or a red slider will appear at the top of the screen
        3.    If the slider appears, you can slide it to the right to turn off the iPad (or tap the cancel button if you change your mind)
        4.    When the iPad's screen goes dark, the iPad is off
        5.    Restart the iPad by holding down the Wake/Sleep button until the Apple icon appears. Let go of the buttons and the iPad reset will be complete.
    Resetting the iPad shouldn't normally cause you to lose and data or settings.
