Camera connnection kit really necessary?

I want to connect a DJ controller to my iPad 3rd gen. Do I really need a camera connection kit, or can I just use a normal 30 pin to usb connector?

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).
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.

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.

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.

Is there some way to make the iPad Camera Connection Kit work on the iPod touch?

I bought the Camera Connection Kit because a tech said it would work with my iPod Touch, but I get the message that the iPod does not support that connection. I would really like itt to work because I have used an older iPod to back up photos while on vacation. I would simply connect the camera up to the iPod and it would download all the photos from the camera. It was an excellent way not to have to buy lots of SD cards. This kit has a slot for an SD card and I could copy directly from that. So if anyone out there knows how I could make it work, I'd appreciate your input.

Is your MacBook Pro new? Did it come with Lion preinstalled? If not do you have the iDVD application in the Applications folder?
If not I suggest you purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com or eBay.com or other 3rd party supplier. Apple does not sell iDVD any more and those items are getting harder to get.
Once you obtain iDVD go to iPhoto and bring up the slideshow. Then use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will send the slideshow to iDVD from which you can burn a video DVD disk.
I suggest you follow this workflow while working in iDVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

IPad camera connection kit is working on ios 6.1.3 or no?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find an answer to this question
Is iPad camera connection kit working on the new update iOS 6.1.3?
I need to know this kinda urgent now, because my iPad has been acting really weird, but I hadn't update yet, because I'm scared my camera connection kit won't work anymore, and I need it alot because I work with cameras.
Anyone who already update and the camera connection kit still working? Please
I have an iPad 2 currently iOS 6
Have a great day!

Works on my iPad 2 also. I transfer pics/videos using an SDHC card and also using a USB flash drive.
To use a flash drive, Plug the flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

Third Party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit and iOS 4.2

Has anyone tried the third party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit with iOS 4.2? This is the connector that has both the SD slot as well as the USB slot in one unit, rather than the two separate units on the Apple branded one. The third party one is cheaper and 1 less thing to carry around or potentially lose.
Thanks!
Matt

Is this really the actual name of it?

Ipad camera connect kit not working

When I attach my iPod camea connect kit (the Appel one, not 3rd party) to my iPad 3, I get the message that the accessory is not supported. What gives? I pop in an SD card and it doesn't read anything. All I get is the not supported message a few times.

I have the new iPad also, white 64GIG 4G and my camera connection kit is not working either. The same camera connection kit purchased at my local Apple store worked fine with my iPad 2. I've tried everything (e.g. power-off, reset, restore, putting photos on the card then connecting, and reformatting the card using disk utility) and it even shows the camera connection kit under "general" "about" it just doesnt work as far as being recognized in the photo app. I guess this is where AppleCare phone support comes in handy. I hope this gets fixed because I've been shooting a lot of video and creating some pretty good home movies with my kids using iMovie. I would really like to get these large files transferred onto my Mac. The SD card I'm using is a PNY Professional SDHC 4GIG Class 10 just to provide all the variables I'm working with. What am I missing?

Is periodic maintenance really necessary?

Is it really necessary, and does it really accomplish anything? And if so, why isn't it mentioned in the user-pamphlet that came with the machine?
I've read several threads about running "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly", and whether or not it will get run automatically if the machine is asleep or powered off at the scheduled time, and how to run it manually or download tools to automate the process.
But I've also seen some things saying it doesn't really accomplish much.
It seems like if it was really necessary that apple should advertise it better and make it more straight forward for novice users to do it.

Not true. If the Mac is asleep at the appointed hour of the maintenance scripts execution (3:15 am) the scripts will run soon after the Mac is awakened. But if the Mac is turned off at night, the scripts do not run when the Mac is booted. The countdown clock is reset to 0 and if the Mac is consistently shut down before 3:15 am, then the scripts will never run.
It has already been established in another thread that the OP shuts down his Mac every evening and his Mac's scripts have not been run for some time.

Camera Connection kit Questions

A few quick questions. I am thinking for a small project for my business I am going to try the following and want to know if it works.
Get the camera connection kit and use it to import my Nikon D7000 pics from it to the iPad. Will I be able to directly import to photogene app? Or does it have to go to the native photo app first then I have to import to photogene?
After I edit and export, can I connect a usb hard drive to the usb adapter and copy the files off? Do I really need to use a computer to get them off?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Well, yes, in the sense that you need a computer to send them to. There are, however, a few apps which will more image files in other ways, say over wifi. You can look at those options once you're set up with getting them onto the ipad, moving them around, editing them, whatever.

Is a PDF reader really necessary on iPad?

Is a PDF reader really necessary for iPad? I haven't needed one yet ... I don't think.

Depends on what you want to do with the PDF's and how you're getting them on the iPad. Originally, when the iPad came out in spring of 2010, there was no native PDF reader (except for emailed PDF's). Goodreader was one of the first apps to cater to PDF reading, and others came up, so there are a number of PDF apps. As time went on iBooks was given PDF ability, and for most people that's fine, but apps such as Goodreader have additional features.
If you haven't needed one yet, don't worry about it - just use iBooks or the mail reader. If you find yourself in need of a more sophisticated app, then just visit the App Store and see what meets your needs.

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
Claudio

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.

Camera Connection Kit ROCKS

After a several weeks wait, I finally received my camera connection kit today. It's small, simple, and easy to use - just plug it in, and it works - at least that was my experience.
I bought it primarily to download photos from my camera, and be able to review them while out in the field - something that in the past, I either had to download to my laptop, or view the pictures on the 2 inch screen on the back of the camera. I took some pictures, plugged in the USB cable, and the Ipad instantly gave me opportunity to download. Once downloaded, I was able to use FILTERSTORM APP (Free I believe) to do some pretty powerful editing. Yeah, I can do all that with my computers, but it was fun to see that I could also do it all from the iPad just as easily. I don't plan on traveling with my laptop any more (unless I have to), so it's great to know that I can do this stuff.
But beyond the photo transfer, what I wasn't ready for, and am totally thrilled with is the ability to hook up a usb keyboard through the camera connection kit, and type away on the iPAD like never before. I had heard that you could hook up a keyboard, so I tried it with the original iMac wired keyboard that I had stashed away after I bought the bluetooth keyboard (the aluminum small one). Unfortunately, the wired keyboard requires too much USB power, so it didn't work. But I have an assortment of old dell keyboards, including a pretty basic plastic usb keyboard, and I plugged that in, and it works great. When you connect, you get a stern warning from the iPAD that the device isn't supported, but after you dismiss it, the keyboard works just great. I'm even finding that the keyboard's arrow keys allow me to have better control over editing that the native ipad editing (select, cut, copy, paste). I bet if I were using an apple keyboard, I'd have even better control!
I'm so impressed by how much better my iPad experience is (when it comes to having to type), that I'm going to have to reconsider the whole idea of spending $70 on another bluetooth apple keyboard. Maybe I'll look for something cheaper, but I sure do like those apple keyboards. The built-in pop-up keyboard on the ipad is good for a little typing, but nothing substantial. that's been my experience.
Next on the list of things to try, I've heard that the camera connection kit supposedly allows you hook up USB audio devices. I have a specific need/desire to be able to do some audio recording, with higher quality than what you get with the built-in mike. I'm exploring the idea of doing some pro audio recording - 2 track line input from mixing console at concerts, or even audience microphones. Yeah I have other equipment that does this, but I'm intrigued about the 64gb space, and the long iPad battery life. Beyond the iPAD, I'm thinking that the camera connection kit may even offer the same functionality on the new IPhone4, where I'm really thinking ahead to doing some video recording, with high quality stereo feed, an alternative to buying a new HD video camera. Maybe this stuff is just a dream, and in the end, I'll be better off just doing all these audio & video projects with the normal devices, and not the iPad. But I'm interested in exploring just how much the iPAD can do.
Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble on. I really haven't enjoyed typing much on the iPAD until I hooked up this **** keyboard.
So.. bottom line, camera connection kit... THREE THUMBS UP!

For external keyboards, I've been using the apple aluminum wireless one, myself. I actually bought that keyboard mainly because it was the smallest full-sized wireless keyboard around. So I was pleasantly surprised that the iPad itself was built to use Bluetooth devices such as that (and other things). So I really don't have much of a use for the additional capabilities of the USB connection. But, it's good that you we're finally able to get your kit. I guess, my mistake was actually trying to search for stores to get the item instead of trying to order it online, first. Otherwise, it seems you miss out on the accessory this summer.

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...

Camera connector kit not working at all

Hi
I bought the camera connector kit and can't get it to work.
I don't really use the camera to take photos or shoot videos. I bought the kit mainly to add storage to my brand new iPad (3).
What I have tried to do so far, is:
- create a DCIM folder on a USB stick AND on an SD card
- copy .jpeg and H.264 video encoded files in those folders
- insert the different connectors in the iPad
- with the 32gb USB key, I got a message "not enough power"
- with a 4gb USB key, all I got was " no photo to import"
- with the SD card, once again, "no photo to import"
So, basically, nothing works. Am I doing anything wrong or is there something else I could try.
Thanks

I bought the kit mainly to add storage to my brand new iPad (3).
The CCK can only be used to import photos/videos to the iPad. Can't be used to export photos/videos or other files, or use like an external hard drive.
Are you opening the Photos app when you try to import the photos & are they identified as .jpg?
Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
