Camera connection kit, to much power problem

I have the iPad 4 but I cannot connect my camera using the USB connection kit. It says accessory use to much power. Will a powered USB hub work and if so which one do I need.

See if anything in here helps you

Sometimes I know you can alter the settings on your camera to help it better interface with your iPad.
Does your camera have SD cards? While the USB 'connect to camera' part can be tricky, the SD card reader is less so.

Do your cameras support Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and/or USB Mass Storage Device Protocol (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106), and if so do you need to change a camera menu setting in order to enable it ?

Camera connection kit w/USB says cannot work uses too much power

When using the camera connection kit /USB the message cannot use device it uses too much power pops up!

What are trying to use it with ? If you are connecting it to your camera then does your camera have a setting on it to enable PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol, Pictbridge) or Mass Storage Device ? If you are trying to use a third-party card reader or a flash-drive with the kit to copy photos/videos over to the iPad, then a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the iPad's port - if you have a powered card reader or a single-card reader (i.e. not one that has different slots for different types of memory card) then that might have a better chance of working

Camera Connection Kit "Using Too Much Power" Error

I'm trying to connect my iPhone 6 to my iPad Air 2 using the Apple USB Camera Connection Kit so I can transfer some video files. I get an error that says "Accessory Unavailable - The Attached Accessory Uses Too Much Power". Both devices are running the latest version of iOS. I've tried hard reboots on both and no change. This used to work fine with my iPad 2. Is my camera connection kit defective?

My camera just started doing this on my MBP too! I have no idea what to do

Camera connection kit funktioniert nicht mehr. iPad Air zeigt an, dass das angeschlossene Gerät zu viel Srtom benötigt. Es hat aber ein halbes Jahr ohne Probleme Funktioniert.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. It's covered by Apple's 1-year warranty.

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!

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

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.

Problem with Camera Connection Kit

I am experiencing a problem with my camera connection kit on my ipad2. I have tried to use it today, after upgrading ios on ipad, but it does just not recognise the device any more. I have tried rebooting ipad ( twice), tried to use different sd cards, still no use. I have searched the forum for answers but apart from rebooting, ( which i've done) cannot find a fix..I dont seem to be 'Robinson Crusoe' with this problem either, judging by the forums etc..
As I'm travelling overseas next month, i really will need this feature on ipad, to download pics from camera. Can anyone help with this...

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.

Have an ipad 2 and have bought the camera connection kit to use with my flip ultra. However when try to connect ot says there is not enough power to support accessory. Can anyone help please?

If you have ios 5.1.1 the output power is 100ma, on the iOS 5.0.1 the power output is 500ma! This may be the cause?

Power the Camera Connection Kit to connect card readers or other devices

I need to connect my Sony Memory Stick to iPad to load the photos from my Sony camera's memory card. As you all know, Apple has decided to lower the power on the Camera Connection Kit (CCK) USB to 20mA, making my memory card reader worthless (for those with SD, you have the CCK SD option but I hear not all SDs work with it).
I've been looking for a "compact" powered USB hub to connect my iPad to Memory Card Reader. I came across this USB split cable, one for power and other for the regular connection - Apricon Powered USB
http://www.amazon.com/Apricorn-Power-Adapter-Cable-AUSB-Y/dp/B000JIOHDE/
This may seem to work but wanted to check if anyone has tried it ? I would connect the black male port in CCK, grey male port in iPad charger and plug my card reader in the female port. Not sure if it will work. Any thoughts ?
There was a review on Amazon's page about someone trying with iPad and the follow up comments on parallel wiring vs. limiting with diode.
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2XVMOSBFNYCLG
I don't understand all that stuff, curious if anyone here does and can comment.

This cable has a very different use in mind. It is for connecting one USB device to two powered USB ports on a computer to provide extra power to the USB device that would it not ordinarily be getting were it only connected to one USB port.
That is a very different use from the one for which you wish to use it. Chances are it may not work as you envision using it.

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?

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.
