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!

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Camera Connection Kit: Some photo wont transfer

    I took a couple test shots with my DSLR thats shooting in RAW. Some of the photos transferred over just fine, but some did not. No settings on the camera were changed between the shots. Everything is just fine. But when you go into "Photos" some of them cant be viewed and just say RAW on them. I cant also figure out how to remove them either. Any thoughts?

    What is the file name? Others have said it has to be six characters and be like how a camera would name them. Some other have said that somehow the iPad cold tell if picture have been modified and would not import modified photos

    See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
    No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

  • 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!

  • Does the camera connection kit rename imported photos?

    If I use the camera connection kit to transfer photos from the SD card used in my Sony RX-100 camera, will the photos, whose names always begin with "DSC_", be renamed according to the iOS covention "IMG_"?
    This renaming *does* occur when I transfer photos to my iOS devices using Eye-Fi cards.

    You can also 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.)

  • Importing many (400+) photos with camera connection kit fails

    Hi,
    I'd like to hear if anyone came across this already:
    When I try to import a lot of images ( most recent example is 445) photos from my Canon 5D through the camera connection kit + USB cable it fails.
    The app starts up just fine and starts to read from the camera, icons appear (showing RAW+JPG yet no preview) but after a while the import window simply closes and no pictures have been imported.
    Smaller numbers of pictures work just fine.
    I had hoped for 4.2.1 to address this but no luck.
    This limits the usability of the iPad as a viewing and backup device for my pictures quite a bit for me.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Andi

    Update:
    It turned out that the cable was the problem. I had used a retractable cable which worked find for the preview but was obviously not up to the job when it came to the higher requirements of the full speed image download.
    Using a standard USB cable works just fine.

  • I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to view my photos from my SD card, not import them to the iPad.  Can this be done and how is it done?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them.  Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
    I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,

  • SD card import faulty - Camera Connection Kit

    I am travelling around and the camera connection kit has been working well for importing pics from my SD cards. However one day the import warned me I was importing 1gb of pics, but only had 0.7gb free on the iPad. It asked me whether to import until the iPad was full, so I said yes.
    Since then I deleted some movies I had on the iPad, so I now have lots of free space. Now most photos are imported showing just a "jpg" logo and the photo cannot be opened. This happens on any SD card I put in the iPad. I wonder if perhaps the iPad needs some sort of disk utility or scandisk to be run, but I can't find such a utility.

    I tried powering down several times. I have also done the reset you suggested. Unfortunately the problem remains.
    As I am travelling, I am not in a position to do a sync. Both the iPad's "About" and an iPad info app I have report 7.5gb free.
    I wonder if there is a utility that can truly free the space (assuming that is the problem)?
