Camera connector with a usb media reader.

Has anyone used the camera connector with a usb memory reader? One of the many reasons I bought the ipod was to dump photos to it from one media card while I'm shooting on another. I bought the belkin media reader but the video ipod doesn't support it. If you have been able to dump photos from a media card with using your camera please let me know what you devices you were using? I have heard that the battery drains quickly when transfering photos.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try Soft reseting your ipod, then Plug your card reader into the Camera connector before you attach it to your iPod, then plug everything in then it might work if not, this is what i'm using to do it.
Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 15-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer (model number: F5U249ea) Sandisk 512mb Ultra 2 compact flash card, any card will do and the camera connector, i hook everything up, wait a few seconds then it tells me to transfer whatever amount is on the card.
Where can i dump the photo's on doucarve??

Anybody used iPod camera connector with Fuji finepix S9500?

Hi there,
Like many of you I've looked at the compatability list on the Apple site and my Finepix S9500 is not there. Has anybody been successful downloading pictures either from the camera via camera connector, or using a media reader connected to iPod and XD memory card?

OK, I've been to the Applestore and bought one of these gizmos and wouldn't you know it, but it worked first time. Great little piece of kit!

Camera Connector with SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus USB

Hi,
I recently got hold of this SD card with a USB connector built in, in the hope that I could connect it straight to my iPod Photo via the camera connector. I have been using the camera connector with the Belkin USB2 17-in-1 card reader, but hoped i could ditch the reader and have less to carry.
Basically this SD/USB card does not work.. Fair enough, its not listed as compatible, but the Belkin media reader is not listed either.
The thing that puzzles me, is that the SD card shows as a MassStorage device when connected to the powerbook via its USB connector, the same as the media reader (Apple say check this and it should work) the only other thing is the power maybe, the card says 500mA, so i check the card reader and that is 500mA also.
So, is this something that maybe one day might work as more devices become compatible, or do i cut my losses now, and put the thing on ebay, and just get a cheaper standard SD card, and go back to lugging the media reader with me.
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Keith.

Well now you've got the card in FAT_32 having formatted it in Disk Utility I can't work out what's not working. I suggest you restart the Mac and switch off all your devices and try again.
It may also be worth re-formating the card using the phone or camera (if possible). I suspect the problem here is that you're trying to access a 4Gb card through a camera that may or may not support 4Gb cards. Have a look at this compatiblity list.
It may be worth considering a card reader if this is the case. They aren't expensive and will be much quicker and easier than connecting through the camera. Unless of course it works if you connect your phone via USB using the k750i's USB Mass Storage facility.

Camera Connector with Nikon D2x and 5G 60gb iPod

Has anyone had experience with the D2x (Nikon) and the camera connector on a 5G 60gb iPod?
The camera is compatable with Mass Storage and PTP. The camera works great with iPhoto...plug it in and iPhoto opens and you click the button to download.
Also, I see that the new iPod has a longer lasting battery. Does this help when downloading a large card.
By the way, I called Belkin and their camera connectors are NOT compatable with the new 5G models and the guy said that there is nothing on the drawing board.
G5 Dual 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 3.5gb RAM; 400gb HD

I purchased the 60gb iPod-Video (5G) and after several failed attempts I found the proceedure to upload photos on to the iPod using an Apple camera connector with my D2x. Here goes:
First, reset the ipod (just a precaution...hold down the center button with the Menu button for 6 sec). The screen will go black with a golden apple in the center. The menu will display after a short period.
Turn on the ipod (if it isn't already on from the above proceedure).
Plug in the camera connector to the iPod (without the USB cable attached).
Attach the USB cable to your camera and turn on the camera.
Plug in the cable from the camera to the camera connector which is attached to the iPod.
Wait 20-30 sec and it should work.
I tested the speed in both PTP mode and Mass Storage mode. The import for both was 200mb.
PTP = 3minutes 10 sec
Mass Storage 1 minute 59 sec.
The battery did go down a lot (about 1/4 after both imports), but after you detach the camera connector and go back to the main menu, it seems to go back up to about 95% full.

Ipod camera connector with CANON 350D

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to connect camera connector with my photocamera but ipod continuosly tell me: "format non supported". I have set my 350D in PTP mode, as apple recommended in the compatibility list, but nothing changes.
What can I do?
tnx!
Manu

You should consider to buy a canon 20 D. it's a lot better then the 350D i you would not have those kind of problems!
just kidding!
wasn't suppose to work with the cf card you plug directly in your ipod? i would be much faster?

Camera connector with 1.0 firmware?

Ivan,
The version 1.1 requirement refers to iPod photo software version 1.1 (for the older iPod)
The 5G iPod version of 1.0 should be compatible with the iPod camera connector.

TS2634 Can I use my old ipod camera connector with ipad [3]? I keep getting accessory not supported message

I have tried to use my old camera connector and it doesn't work. many posts indicate the new ones don't work either. Anyone know if the USB camera connector would or should work with my ipad and my rebel T2i camera? Would buying a new connector work?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "old camera connector"? Do you mean the one that was put out years ago for the iPod? No, that doesn't work. The current Camera Connection Kit works just fine.

Using IPOD 5g and camera connector with Nikon D70 raw

Hi,
I take pictures in 'RAW and Basic' ie digital negative and JPG on a D70. On the Apple IPOD camera connector page there is a user comment referring to having found a posting giving a correct way of transferring RAW files to IPOD which works. Obviously I am not expecting to be able to see the raw pictures just the basic jpgs. But does anyone know the correct procedure for transferring RAW and emedded basic PG files over to IPOD and where they are stored on the IPOD so that I can recover them later?
Dell Latitude D610 Windows XP

i have a minolta 7d and i used to take pics in raw+jpg figuring that it would save the raw and hopefully show the jpgs. no such luck. i talked to the apple gurus and no one seems to know how to make it look at the jpgs and not just the raw files.
i've played around with everything that i could figure out and to no avail. so now i just shoot in raw, tranfer to the ipod (via usb cord to the camera) and when i get home transfer them to the pc.
p.s. the jpgs are still moved over to the ipod and you can get them when you transfer them back to the puter you just can't view them while on the ipod. if you were to shoot just jpg then of course you would be able to see them.

Is plugging in the camera connector with a Scandisk do anything?

I am trying to transfer one jpeg imge to the iPad so I can email it. The USB wont work as it requires more power. The connector with the scan disk slot doesn't do anything it just sits there. I hoped something would open and tell me that i could upload a photo or tell me I am an idiot for sticking it in over and over again hoping something will happen.
Has anyone ever seen these work or does it just come in the kit and not have a purpose for the iPad. I can't find the issue addressed although there are a few posts about the Scandisk.

Penguin's suggestion should work. The camera connection kit will work to transfer photos you create/name onto your device. You just have to follow that naming protocol. SD cards are the best, but you can use USB flash drives. You just have to find the right ones that work with the device and follow the naming convention. It's been my experience that sandisk and kingston don't work well simply because of their bundled software, that tries to run and triggers the 'too much power' warning.
Failing transfering it via the CCK, you can always fall back on e-mailling it to yourself as a 'tide me over' until you get the camera connection kit figured out.

Camera connector kit as USB port?

I'm looking at purchasing the camera connector kit for my father who wants to be able to use a USB port with his iPad while he's on an extended trip.
My hope is that the USB port would allow him to download pictures/files onto a flashdrive and also use a mouse.
Based on what I've read I'm not sure if that will actually work. Does the USB port from the camera connection kit actually function as a "real" USB port?
Thanks.

When the iPad 1 and camera kit first came out folks discovered that the USB port was usable for a number of "secret" devices from keyboards to speakers. With the 4.2 iOS update, Apple reduced the power available with the camera kit and folks report that it barely allows transfer of photos from attached cameras now.

Camera Connector with Olympus Evolt E300 and iPod 5G 30GB

Help! I am having a very tough time trying to get this to work.
When I connect the camera connector to iPod and Camera it says no card found. I've tried everything I can think of.
Now I am trying to use a USB 2.0 Card Reader by hama and again no luck. My card is a Compact Flash card.
What can I do?
I really need this to work while I am away in Europe.
Has anyone else dealt with this?

Hi,
Sorry if some of this sounds too simple! I took a look at the camera's manual and it sure does look like the E300 should work with the iPod CC (I use one on Olympus and Canon cameras).
Some ideas:
Format the card and take one photo, then put the card in the card reader on a PC or Mac and check for the DCIM folder at the top level? Your one photo should be inside that (possibly in another folder).
If that looks OK, put the card back in the camera, connect up the iPod with CC and then power up the camera - does the camera ask for "PC", "Print" or "Exit"? Selecting "PC" should fire up the iPod CC and it'll ask you if you want to import the photo.
If this is doesn't work then let me know and I'll scratch my bald spot again!
Mike

Camera Connector with Sony DSC-W50

I'm trying to import photos from my Sony DSC-w50 to my 5G 60GB video ipod using the Apple Camera Connector. After connecting the device and turning on the camera I go to the Photo Import menu and select Import Photos it then goes to a screen that says "ready to connect" I'm not sure what to do after that the camera is connected to the ipod via the usb cable and the camera is turned on, seems to be all I can do.
Any ideas?

ptp is to go to a printer. i have 3 transfer modes on my minolta and 2 on my sony, they both only work when they are in normal mode.
one quick note. i had a problem when i was transfering pics on one occasion, it just stopped mid-way and then would no longer recognise the camera. i turned both off then back on, nothing. i did the select+menu reset and everything was back to normal.
i am quickly finding that the camera connector is a finnicky piece now that i am looking to find a card reader that it will recognize. i doesn't recognise much. good luck

IPod Video and camera connector with Canon PowerShot Pro1

Does anybody have a new iPod video with a camera connector and a Canon PowerShot Pro1? I'm having trouble downloading images to my iPod?
Every time I connect the camera to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod screen that says "no card inserted".
I've tried 3 different memory cards in my camera with the same results.
HELP?
Jason

Don't know about the Pro 1. My Canon XT works fine. In the menu for the XT, I have COMMUNICATION: My choices are A)Print/PCP and 2)PC Connection. Print/PCP must be selected for it to work on mine. Check the menu of your Pro 1.
