Camera connection kit help,

Hi I am trying to use camera connection kit to import photos using sd card but nothing happening. I can transfer my photos via i tunes as i have tried this but wanted to use the camera kit any help would be appreciated

Most digital cameras use a standard naming format when they write photos to their memory cards, and the iPad and its camera connection kit only accepts that format i.e. directly off the root off the card should be a directory called DCIM, and underneath that are the photos, whose filenames should be exactly 8 characters long plus their file extension e.g. IMG_0001.JPG
DCIM
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0002.JPG
etc
(Digital cameras quite often have another directory between the DCIM and the actual photos, but it's just the DCIM one that is important.)
For direct transfer from your camera, you may need to change a setting on your camera - I know that some Canon DSLRs have a menu setting on them to enable 'PTP' (picture transfer protocol) on them, not sure about other makes.

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.

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.

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

I want to buy the camera connection kit but not sure if it will work with my camera it's a Sony dsc w35 can anybody help..

I want to buy the camera connectivity kit for my iPad 3 but not sure if it will work with my Sony dsc w35 camera can anybody help.

That camera does not have an SD card. It uses Sony's Memory Stick™ DUO Media.
The camera does provide for USB connection, however, some cameras require too much USB power from the iPad. Suggest you take your iPad to a camera store and ask to test it with your iPad.

Camera connection kit doesn't work...help

I bought the camera connection kit and tried using 2 different SD cards to load my pictures onto my ipad and nothing happens when i plug it in. the USB piece works fine when i hook it up to my other camera but why can't i get the memory card piece to work? any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!

Hi Kathie and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How are your SD cards formatted? If memory serves, the iPad wants to see the cards in DCIM. Since the USB to camera is working, it sounds like the format of the SD cards is not what the iPad wants to see. What kind of camer are you using, and if you look at the card on a computer, what does it show you...what is the name or label of the top level folder?

HT4101 I am trying to get pictures from my I phone to my I pad with the camera connection kit but nothing happens on any of the devices help anyone

I am trying to connect my I phone to my I pad so I can import pictures from one to the other but neither one seems to react to this connection. How should I proceed?

The Camera Connection Kit USB component attaches to the iPad and the iPhone connects to this through the USB cable. The iPad should recognize the iPhone as a Camera ans show the photos on the iPhone. You can then import the photos you want.
Other ways to do this:
You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between iPhone, iPad, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iPhone, iPad, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device.

HT4101 Lost all Photos while Using Camera Connection Kit to Nikon D70 -HELP!

After using with my Nikon D70, the photos are not on my camera - says now incompatible file format. And they cannot be seen on iPad. on iPad there is a gray box that says 'jpeg' in it. Where are my photos? Can I get them back?

You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

My IPad 2 doesn't recognize the camera connection kit

My ipad2 does nit recognize my camera connection kit. Actually the kit is recognized but when I put the chip or plug in the USB camera cable nothing happens. I'm using a Sony Dsc-Tx10 camera. It worked before but now it doesn't. Please help. I'm trying to upload my pictures to my iPad.
Thank you,
Josie

Check it to make sure the card and tray are free of dirt or dust. (You can blow into the empty slot to clean out any dust.)
Put the SIM card back in the tray, and slide the tray back into the slot.

Camera connect kit

Camera connect kit will not show video on iPad running iOS 4, it just shows a file with AVI. The wifes iPad which has not yet been updated to run iOS 4. Will run the videos no problem anyone help please?

I understand the above replies but how come the camera kit works with the wife's iPad and not mine all it shows is a picture of a file with AVI printed on the icon, I have done nothing different loading onto my iPad than I did with the wife's. I tried to load mine first and it did not work then tried the other and it was fine. I have tried removing the files and trying again still to no avail. The iPad has 60% of the memory available. Any other ideas?

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.

Camera Connection kit Questions

A few quick questions. I am thinking for a small project for my business I am going to try the following and want to know if it works.
Get the camera connection kit and use it to import my Nikon D7000 pics from it to the iPad. Will I be able to directly import to photogene app? Or does it have to go to the native photo app first then I have to import to photogene?
After I edit and export, can I connect a usb hard drive to the usb adapter and copy the files off? Do I really need to use a computer to get them off?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Well, yes, in the sense that you need a computer to send them to. There are, however, a few apps which will more image files in other ways, say over wifi. You can look at those options once you're set up with getting them onto the ipad, moving them around, editing them, whatever.
