Camera connector problem

I have a Fujifilm F10 digital camera, iPod 4G with click wheel and camera connector. I have once successfully managed to transfer 6 photos from the camera to iPod with the connector. I just plugged them together and it did it automatically. I have now taken a lot more pictures and a few short videos. I tried the same again and it keeps saying "Card not inserted". I have checked the card is working in the camera and that all of the leads are tightly together. Any idea what the problem might be? Could it be due to the video clips?

Make sure the 30 pin dock connector on the USB adaptor isn't damaged or dirty, if that isn't the case, plug the camera in, and then the adaptor. If that doesn't seem to work the adaptor may be defective.

CANON 350D with Apple camera connector problem !

Dear all,
Can somebody help me out with the following problem:
When I connect my 350d to my new Apple video 60GB via the original Apple camera connector I get the message device unknown and it simple will not import any images stored on the 350 D
Hope you can help since i'm now on holiday with a lot of phot

I just got one of the camera connectors today and got it to work with the A620. My iPod froze the first time; I think because I plugged in the camera before turning it on. I've only transferred a few pictures so far. I'll probably fill up my 512MB card this week and see what happens. I'll repost if I have any problems.

HT4101 Camera Connector problem

When I plug in the Camera Connector on my IPad 3, I get an error message "This accessory not supported by IPad". It is a genuine Apple Camera attachment purchased from Apple Store. The SD card reader works great, so no problem with it.

Camera Connector Problems

My camera is supported (Canon S1IS), and when i connect to my ipod which is color ipod 40GB photo (an original one - the thick one) i can go to "Import photos", but the screen is blank and nothing happens.

Rick,
I have had no problem with a Rebel XT and the 60gb Video iPod.
There are a limited number of card readers which will also work according to this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodCameraConnector
I have no first hand knowledge if they will also work the the video iPod as that list was generated for the 4G iPods.
There are several threads on the pro and cons of using the iPod as a digital wallet at the media and storage forum on DPreview. Do a search on "iPod"

Crash during picture transfer with Camera Connector

I searched on various places and have found some people have similar issues but I have not seen a solution.
I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z4 and a brand new iPod Video 80Gb. For my holiday, I borrowed a Camera Connector from a friend of mine and briefly tested the combination with a couple of pictures on the SD card of the Casio camera. This worked fine.
However, it did turn out not to work well. As the SD card contains approx 100 pictures, I left the iPod alone during the copy. After a while, it appeared to have finished. But looking at it, only 30 or so pictures had been copied. And even worse, the iPod did not work as it did before. It could not play any media anymore.
A reset did the trick, but it did not solve the Camera Connector problem. Next import, the same happened but then the pictures could not even be seen on the iPod. Had to reset again. I tried several times, different SD cards in the camera, all the same predictable result.
Coming home, iTunes suggests a firmware update to 1.2.1 so I hoped this would solve the problem. Unfortunately not, I am still unable to use the Camera Connector and have to reset the iPod when I try to do.
Is there any solution to this?

I had the same problem with an 80GB Ipod and a Canon s50. I found that the only way to get back the ability to play the media was to drain the battery completely, and then recharge. Things would work then. When I went to look at my photos, I noticed that the "difficult roll" had only transfered 49 of 500 pictures, and you couldn't view any of the transfered pictures. I deleted the roll but was never able to successfully transfer the pictures from the card - I tried 3 times with the same result. I'm actually returning the camera connector and the Ipod.

Photo Transfer Problem From Minox Dcc M3 to Ipod via Camera Connector

Hi,
I have a minox Dcc M3 digital camera,and i recently purchased a 5th generation ipod with the intention of downloading images from my minox camera direct to the ipod, so that i could delete the images from my camera and carry on taking more pictures without having to carry my laptop around with me, The camera only has a 32mb built in flash memory and will not download direct to the ipod via an ipod camera connector,I have tried other cameras that only have built in flash memory and none of them will download direct to the ipod, Has anyone out there come across this problem before,according to apple the ipod supports the following image transfer protocols:- PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)and Mass Storage.Could anyone tell me if there is any firmware update for the ipod or camera that would make the ipod compatible with the cameras flash memory and allow me to download my images to my ipod.

I don`t think there is an option to turn on or off any transfer protocols,on connecting the camera to windows xp it connects staight away and viewing/downloading photos is no problem,it works the same as my other camera no problem.I have followed apples procedure of connecting (ie:-turn on ipod/connect camera connector/turn on camera and connect usb cable) the camera then shuts off immediately,i can turn it on again but all i get from the ipod is the message "ready to connect".It seems to me that the ipod does not even know the camera is connected?,looks like maybe this camera is not compatible with ipod,but i cannot help but think that other camera makes with built in memory would suffer from the problem.

D800 file compatibility: Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit? I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit? I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files.
I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
Any advice appreciated?
PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

Problem with ipod camera connector

i am trying to use the ipod camera connector. there are 3 recurring problems.
sometimes, the ipod says that there is no picture in the connected camera. in the apple support website, it says that i have to reconnect the camera connector but that does not help.
recently, altough all pictures are still on the ipod in the same files as before (i have checked by using the ipod as an external drive), the ipod said that all rolls were empty.
finally, when going on the "photos" part of the ipod, it sometimes does not even show the "import" menu and therefore does not allow viewing the existing pictures altough they are on the ipod.
any help welcome

I have the same problem as you but after reading through all the posts I found this worked for me "Ipod reset (on hold, off of hold, press menu and centre buttons for 6 seconds) then after it has rebooted unplug then replug your camera connector (at this point it may well work but if you still get "Unsupported device" or no card inserted then power cycle your camera, a bit long winded but this is the only way I could get my Canon 20d to work!

Camera Connector thumbnail creation problem

When importing photos from my camera, my iPod only creates 8 thumbnails! Repeatably, no matter how many photos are uploaded.
(Video iPod, 30GB, 5th generation, color, Software v. 1.2.1, 10 GB free space)
I use the Apple iPod Camera Connector to upload photos directly from my Canon SD600. The transfer (camera -> iPod) works fine and then from iPod -> iPhoto, all the photos come out okay.
BUT, the iPod will only create thumbnails for the first 8 photos, and then it shows a little gray square where the thumbnail should be. When I browse, I can only see 8 photos, no matter how many are there. If there are movies in the first 8, it'll show the movie icon, then create thumbs for the first 8 photos.
The problem is inconvenient but not fatal since the photos are all there and they upload fine.

The problem seems to have been solved by resetting the iPod from within iTunes. Following that, it seems to behave as it should. I tested it by uploading 11 photos through the camera connector and it created thumbnails for each.

Problems with iPad camera connector kit

I used the camera connector kit yesterday with my sd card and it worked fine. I have tried to use it again today and it comes up with Contents not available, cannot read the connected storage media. Any suggestions as to how to get it to work?

How are the photos getting onto the card, directly from the camera or are you copying them onto the card from your computer ? If you are copying them onto the card then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
If the card has come straight from the camera then try a reset of the iPad and see if the photos are then recognised : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPad 2wifi, and camera connector kit problem

My iPad camera connector kit is not importing all the photos onto my iPad, with some pics it's, placing an exclamation mark rather than a tick, why is this happening?

I would suspect there is something going on with the SD card the iPad is not liking. Try to transfer all the photos to a computer which may be better at reading the card. Once you have verified all the photos are safely copied use your camera to format the card. This will wipe it completely and set it up again which can fix any formatting issue the card may have. If you see this issue again I would not trust it and get a new card.

IPod unmounts when downloading photos imported via iPod camera connector

I've got a fifth generation (video) iPod. I recently purchased an iPod camera connector and used it on a recent trip. I took over 500.jpgs and transfered them successfully from my Nikon D200 camera to my iPod. Now I'm trying to download them into iPhoto. Upon connecting my iPod to my iMac iPhoto automatically asked if I wanted to download the 500+ photos and I said yes. It began the download and then stopped part way through "roll" #2 of the six rolls on the iPod. For some reason the iPod unmounted itself and the iPod icon dissapeared from my desktop. So I disconnected it and started over. This time the iPod unmounted literally seconds after appearing on the desktop.
When I go into the iPod it appears as if all of my photos are there. My problem is that I'm not able to get them onto my iMac.
One thought I had was to enable my iPod for use as a hard drive in order to simply drag and drop the photos but I'm somewhat affraid to do this. I don't want it to wipe out all of my photos. Also, I'm guessing it will just unmount itself again anyway.
Any thoughts for me?
Thanks,
Ben

I have a Nikon D5100 and I typically shoot Raw + JPEG and I take pics in large size on my Nikon. When I transfer using the SD card and camera connection kit, my pics are regular size. I'm wondering if the fact they are RAW only is causing your issue. Try traking some pics in full size using either RAW + JPEG or just JPEG and then transfer and see if the resolution is larger.

Viewing photos imported with camera connector

Hello,
I just purchased a camera connector and was immediatedly able to import photos from my camera with no problems. However, the manual states that I should be able to view the photos by (1) Choosing Photos > Photo Import, and then choose the roll I want to view and (2) Choosing Browse to display my photos.
The problem I'm having is that after I choose my roll it only shows the roll info (11 photos, size 17.3 MB) and options for Delete Roll or Cancel. There is no Browse.
I'm using a 60 GB Video iPod with version 1.2 firmware.
Any help would be appreciated. I've already searched the discussions and didn't see anyone with this exact issue.
Thanks.

False alarm I guess. I didn't change any settings on the camera or iPod, but now I can browse through the imported pictures. Curious.

Camera connector and Samsung ST1000 - "too much power"?

I purchased my iPad primarily to take on an overseas holiday so that I could access my email; and
(ii) Download and manage photos off my Samsung St1000 digital camera.
I also purchased the camera connector. However, whenever I try and connect the camera via USB, I get a message that the "accessory is unavaile: The attached accessory uses too much power" and it won't let me access the photos to copy them across.
Any suggestions as to how I get around this problem?

Is the battery in the camera fully charged? Googling says the camera takes a micro SD card. There might be adopters that will allow putting the micro SD card in an adopter so you can use the camera connection kit SD card reader. Or you might be able to buy a USB micro
card reader and plug it into the camera connection kit USB connector.
