Camera Connection Kit + Sandisk Card Reader = KILL 16G CF card

My camera connection kit with my sandisk card reader fried 2 16G CF card (1 Sandisk Extreme 60MB/s 16G and 1 Sandisk Ultra 30MB/s 16G). And I have a pair of 8G too and they’ve no problem, this makes me think that anything ABOVE 8G might be damage in this file transfer operation. (lucky all sandisk I bought have 5 years warrenty, but unlucky is pictures inside are GONE )
Both CF cards was fried when sudden in the middle of the transfer operation.
And I’ve search the internet and some tech people said this is a CAMERA connection kit, and APPLE suggested the USB kit was to connect to a CAMERA not a card reader. as people said new LARGE size CF card is power thirst, and since most card reader doesn’t provide any power and mainly rely on the USB power source. The lack of power will ended damaging these power 16G card.
Can someone HELP, I dont want to keep my 16G CF card frying!

I would be very happy for Apple to make a Compact Flash card reader just like the SD connection. Its something I would purchase immediately. Sadly Apple is yet to realise that not everbody uses crappy little point and shoot or entry level DSLR cameras and those that have the high end gear are those who woulld actually use the iPad in the real world for a travelling "light-box".
BTW does Apple ever look at this forum? or is it just a place that they specifically ignore when it comes to faulty programming or products?

  • My ipad3 w/ camera connection kit will not read my SDHC Class 10 memory card.  Should I try directly from the camera or does ipad not support class 10?

    Connection kit will read class 6 cards but not class 10???

    I use an 8GB SDHC Class 10 card & it works with my iPad 2. Make sure the 30-pin adapter is fully seated into the side of the iPad.
    Here's another way. Import the pics to your computer. Then 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.)

  • Camera Connection Kit with a SanDisk CF card reader not working in iOS4

    Camera Connection Kit with a SanDisk CF card reader worked great before switch to 4.2.1. Now I get a message:"The connected USB device requires too much power". Again, worked great in OS3. What did Apple change? Same circumstances. The CCK works with the SD card reader, so it is working. Anyone running into this problem? Any answers? I have to use CF cards. As do many people with DSLRs.

  • HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

    I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

    One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
    Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

  • Camera connective kit does not work with card reader

    Can I only use my USB camer connective kit with my camera and not a card reader?

    Which card reader? Are you using an SD card in it or some other form factor?
    As long as you're targeting an SD card with photos or movies, it should work same as connecting to a camera....but in that case, there is really no need since the camera kit includes an SD reader.

    When I connect the USB dongle from the camera connection kit I get an accessory not supported by iPad message. The card reader triggered the same msg but works now. Same msg with vga. Others have posted this problem but the only suggestion anyone has offered is to reboot, which doesn't help. I've tried.

    Thanks Fred. The nearest Apple store is about two hours away, so we did the next best thing & took it to Best Buy. It stumped the "Apple Guy" there. Apparently when an Apple product is turned on it works. Period. I'm impressed that the products are normally so dependable--it just stinks that I got the one in a million that's not. Anyway, now we wait for a service call Tuesday morning. Thanks again!

  • IPad camera connection kit compatibility with SD cards

    Hi there,
    I am really hoping that someone can help me out, I am going mad!
    I am gong on holiday for 5 weeks and want to be able to get photos from my camera to iPad while away.
    So I bought the Apple iPad camera connection kit. There was nothing that mentioned that it is not compatible with certain SD cards, so it seemed ideal.
    I don't have a fancy camera, just a simple Sony Cybeshot, the card I have is 'SanDisk memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate'. The card is slightly smaller than the slot on the apple card reader but seems to fit into it fairly well. However, when I plug it in nothing happens, not even an error message- this lead me to believe that it was a fault with the equipment...or am I wrong- could it be that the card is not compatible??
    I have tried everything, changing the format on the card via the camera, taking cover off iPad to ensure connection is solid and turning iPad on and off again.
    The other thing is that my camera does not seem to have anything to attach a USB cable to.
    PLEASE help me, before iPad AND connector go out of the window!!
    Spec-
    iPad 2 64 GB
    SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB magicGate
    Camera Sony Cybershot
    Version 4.3.5 (8L1)
    Thank you

    An SD card is a Secure Digital type memory card.  SD stands for Secure Digital, not Sandisk. A memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate
    is a Memory Stick Pro duo type of card.
    They are different types of cards. the Camera connection kits only works with the Secure Digital type.

  • 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)?

  • I have an ipad that has photos on it, and am trying to get those photos to an SDHC card. I put the card in my camera connection kit device and went to the slideshow option and selected copy and nothing happened. Am I using the wrong method?

    I am trying to get photos from a friends i pad to mine so that I can make a slide show for him. I tried using my i pad camera connection kit with a SDHC card in it and followed the instructions in the manual. I got to the part where it had me select COPY from the drop down menu. When I did that nothing happened. Can this be done at all?

    only option is to download an app for bluetooth transfer which may be quite slow, checkout 'Bump' or search for photo transfer or similar.

  • I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens.  My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb.  I don't think I am doing anything incorrect.  Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

    The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
    Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

  • IPad 4 with camera connection kit doesn't work with 64GB SDXC card on iOS 7.1.1

    I have an iPad 4 and official Apple camera connection kit. Even though ios 7 was supposed to provide compatibility with SDXC cards there is obviously an issue. I'm using 64GB SDXC and 32GB SD cards - both Sandisck Extreme Pro with RAW Canon 5D Mark III files. The 32GB cards work fine - thumbnails appear quickly and pictures import fine. After inserting the 64GB cards thumbnail holders appear very slowly but the thumbnail images do not appear so I cannot import. I'm a pro photographer and I need this functionality so that I can show pictures to clients on location. Any ideas?

    Are the photos on the 64GB card in RAW format? If so, this may apply.

  • Ipad Camera connection kit problem with SD card

    I have a gen3 ipad and have the camera connection kit which consists of 2 connectors. 1 is usb and the other is SD card. The usb when hooked to camera works just fine but the SD adater does not see any sd card I put in.

    The SD reader will only see photos on the card if they are formatted in a specific manner. A top level folder named DCIM and all files need to have a 8 character name.
    Have you tried to take photos on the card then try to read them with the CCK?

  • TS1315 iPad camera connection kit says SD card needs to be formatted?

    iPad camera connection kit says I need to format the SD card for my iPad 2. How do I do this.

    Is it an SD, SDHC or SDXC card and what size.? The iPad won't read SDXC cards or cards over 32GB. The usual format is FAT32 (and not ExFAT). Use your camera to format, or your computer.

  • HT4236 Have ipad2 & iPad camera connection kit - still doesn't download photos on SD card

    Plugged in SD card from camera to a newly purchased ipad2 via the new iPad camera connection kit and it will not download these photos. Tried the same on a friends ipad2 and it works fine. Do I need to download a new app or just update the photo booth that I already have?

    It doesn't go into photobooth. WHen you plug in the CCK and SD card it should open the photos app all on its own, open the card and then there'll be the select dialogue where you tap on the photos you want to import.
    Try resetting your iPad. Hold down the home and sleep keys, past when you see the red slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    Since it works on another ipad, you know there's photos on the card and they're formatted right, along with the CCK working, so the issue must be your iPad. Sometimes there's a glitch and resetting helps that.
