Camera Kit problems

My 1st generation 32 GB iPad will not recognize my Apple camera connector kit adaptor using a SanDisk 8GB SDHC card with photos I want to import. After plugging it in there is absolutely no recognition of the device, the screen remains at the home screen. Then to make matters worse; when I tried to use the USB adapter with a flash drive, and the same photos to import, I get this notice "cannot use this device, it takes too much power" so how the heck to you get enough power  to the iPad toto use the USB/flash drive connector?

Have you tried a reset?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then tap and hold an app window until they all start to wiggle. Close them with the X in the corner.
Then hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • IPad 3: problem downloading Nikon D3100 images off Apple Camera Kit SD cardreader

    Hi All,
       I got a new iPad 3 and would like to download images taken with a Nikon D3100 through the SD card reader.  When I insert the SD card (SanDisk 64 GB Ultra) into the Apple Camera Kit SD card reader, a message immediately pops up saying that "Content Not Available: Cannot Read the Connected Storage Media".
      I can see the images on the camera so I know they have not been erased or corrupted.   I am traveling and do not have a USB cable.  The SD card was  previously formatted in the camera.  
      Any thoughts or suggestions? Is there a compatibility issue for Nikon with iPhoto?
      I am on the road and very much like  to be able to download and share images with family ASAP.  
      Thanks

    You import photos using the Photos app, not iPhoto app.
    If you can get access to your friends computer, there's another way. 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.)

  • IPad 3 ios 6.0.1 Causing camera kit issues

    Hi there,
    I would like to point out that earlier this month we got an update for the iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1, which I promptly updated mine. Everything was working fine, until yesterday.
    Yesterday I had clicked few snaps during the evening and wanted to edit the same on my iPad 3 and transfer the same via the apple SD Card reader camera kit which I have just recently bought a month back. When I connected the SD card reader to the iPad 3, guess what nothing showed up, usually the photo app comes up with the SD photographs.
    Apparently the SD card was not recognized by iPad itself. I thought the SD card was faulty so I switched over to the USB connection kit and connected my Nikkon D3000 to the iPad 3 over the usb cable, and guess what, nothing happened here either.
    This brought me to the point that, how can both of the connection kits won’t work at the same time, and then it struck me that I had recently done and iOS update to 6.0.1 and that could be one of the possibilities of it not working properly. Normal function of Apple is to kill the old version of the kits / connectors / docks when there is an update of the software, that’s what I have seen and suffered in the past with my docks.
    Since my cousin also has an iPad camera kit but is using an iPad 2 with iOS 6.0.1, I used his kit on his iPad 2 and to my wonder the SD Card reader read my memory card and showed up all the photos on the photo app. So I then used his SD Card kit on my iPad 3, after 2 - 3 tries it worked. So at that point I imported all the pics I required.
    Now I switched back to my SD CARD READER and tried it on my iPad 3, vola it worked, but it took it time to show up. With few more tries of removing and inserting the connector kit again to check, it worked every single time. I guess the kit I am using got hung or something and just required another one to clean / remove the hang/bug.
    Now I wanted the usb connector to work as well, so I used a usb 2 gb Sandisk  fat32 formatted stick and made a DCIM folder and added few files from my computer and tried it on, and this time the iPad 3 read the usb stick and showed me the few files on it.
    After which I tried to connect the SD CARD reader again to check if it would work after the usb connection, it worked but was apparently showing me the usb stick files on the screen rather than the SD Card pics. On re inserting it, it came back to normal. Same thing happened when I tried the usb connection next time, it would show the SD Card files and not the USB files, but with reinserting it would solve the problem.
    And this is the issue I am facing at present, if I use the SD CARD reader first and import my files, the next connection via USB or again SD CARD or via USB and camera cable, it will first show me the images of the previous connection and not the current ones. I have to reinsert it again to clear the old file cache and to show me the new current pics which I want to import fresh.
    Soo could you please advice me on the follow:
    Why did the connectors did not work at first on the iPad 3 ?
    Could there be a bug in the iOS 6.0.1 for the iPad 3, as this problem is not seen on iPad 2?
    Do advice.

    Try this first - 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.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Transfer HD video from canon dslr to iPad 2 via cam kit Question!

    Hey all.
    I have a Canon DSLR that records 1080p HD video at 24, 25 & 30 fps and 720p HD video at 50 & 60 fps.
    I have an iPad first generation with a ipad cam kit for transferring video and photos. It transfers photos just fine, but with video, it can't transfer full 1080p clips at all directly from the camera using the USB cam kit connector or via SD card using that adaptor. Nor will it transfer 720p clips using the cam kit unless the clips are not more than 30 fps. Since the canon t3i dslr shoots 720p video at 60 fps, the video is not viewable unless I first transfer it thru my iMac at home and THEN load it on the iPad.
    Since I travel a lot, this is not convenient for me.
    I want to be able to transfer my HD movies directly onto my iPad while on the road and edit them and then upload them to my travel blog or YouTube.
    The first gen iPad cannot run the new iMovie app. Only the new iPad 2 can. So I was thinking of upgrading to the iPad 2.....
    HOWEVER...I want to know if I will have the same problem trying to transfer my HD video directly from my canon t3i DSLR via the cam kit while on the road so that I can view and edit the clips on my iPad 2?
    I know getting the MacBook air is an option, but I prefer traveling with the iPad. I just want to know if any video/photographers who have the new iPad 2 and canon dslr can answer my questions.
    Thanks so much.
    Cheers.

    Yes, they will transfer as long as they are in 720p. However, you might want to check this if you are willing to try. Might save you from having to buy a new iPad?

  • Camera kit accessory not supported

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 1 and a camera connection kit that works fine. It was working up to a week ago on a new ipad2. I updated my mac to 10.7.1 and synced my ipad2 for the first time in a while before going on a trip. During the trip I tried to use the camera kit but the ipad2 is now saying accessory not supported. The camera connector still works fine with my old ipad1
    Any help or ideas?
    Paul

    Thanks for the reply
    - Both are the same version 4.3.5
    - The reset has not worked
    - Both the SD card reader and the USB device when plugged in will cause the ipad2 to say "This accessory is not supported by this iPad"
    - They both work on the old iPad and I can download the images
    Interestingly, I also had a problem sync'ing some jpegs to the ipad2 and had to delete the latest folder so the sync could complete. iTunes was just saying that the ipad could not display those files, yes they're just straight jpegs.
    I've backed up the device, I'm going to try a full reset

  • IPad and Camera Kit

    I plan on getting the Apple "camera kit" for the iPad, so that I can upload photos and video from a camera while traveling.
    Apple says that you will be able to transfer photos AND video.
    But I had a question.
    I will have a Canon DSLR T2i(rebel) that shoots 1080p HD video as well as 720p as well as 640 x 480 video.
    I am also thinking of getting the smaller FLIP camcorders or the Kodak Zi8. They both shoot HD video, but the flip transfers via usb and the kodak has removable SD cards.
    Basically, does anybody know if you'll be able to transfer 1080p video clips to the ipad? Or at least 720p HD clips?
    Thanks for any and all help or advice concerning this question.
    Also...not a question, but I hope Apple releases a "lite" version of iLife(imovie/iweb/garageband) for the ipad, like they did with iwork.
    Peace out.

    I can't comment on 1080p but 720p videos from my Nikon D90 import and play on the iPad without a problem. RAW files and jpgs also import fine.
    I also have a flip video ultra HD that will connect to the iPad and I can copy the files to the iPad but I cannot view them on the iPad. So with regards to the Flip video camera, the iPad can only be used as a backup device.
    The weird thing is when I connect the flip video to the iPad, in the import screen, iphoto does show thumbnails for the individual clips. Perhaps, the flip video embeds a jpg thumbnail for sorting, preview, etc. or the ipads can view that file format but apple has decided not to include it in the OS.

  • HT4101 My Apple camera kit no longer recognizes SD cards. I'm running iOS6.1.2.

    I have used the Apple camera kit with a previous verson of iOS and it worked fine, but since I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 the pad no longer recognizes the SD reader or the USB connector. However, when I go to "settings","about" the hardware is listed. Is this a software problem or is the camera kit obsolete?
    Thanks
    Wes

    Mine works.
    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.)

  • IPad 2, Axiom 25, camera kit, power supply = STILL power issues

    Hi,
    I have read a lot of the river views regarding the power problems associated with the iPad and maximum MIDI controllers from them and. I tried some new conventional instructions, And did the following:
    - acquired a 12V power supply (at 750 milliamps)
    - got the iPad  camera connection kit
    I also have a powered USB hub, but with the  can locate and external supply for the midi controller I'm not sure how that would be necessary anymore.
    Nonetheless, when I  plus the Axiom 25 into the iPad through the camera cit, I am presented with the following:
    "Cannot use device.  USB Axiom 25: the connected device requires too much power"
    Ugh.  Really?  It's externally powered, I plugged the USB into the camera kit [I]then[/I] plugged the whole assembly into the iPad, as I read to do.  And still?
    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?  Is it the milliamperage on the power supply?  On M-Audio's Axiom user guide it specifies 250-300 milliamps, so more that that wouldn't matter right?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Not sure if it will make a difference. I do know the USB via dock connector is limited as to how much power it can supply in order to conserve the ipad's battery life.

  • Camera kit not working? I may have an explanation

    So I bought the camera kit today. Plug the SD card reader and nothing happen. Hmm! Try the camera with it's cable, not working.
    Hmmm... Try the same with my wife's Ipad and it works first shot!...Oh no! Please make so that it's not a defective Ipad.
    But my Ipad have those black rubber protector. The cut out where the connector port is is just big enough to give access but the white plastic shape of the camera kit is bigger. So it sit on the rubber which is about 3mm thick. And that's enough to prevent the accessories to do proper contacts.
    I proved my theory by flipping out the rubber and inserted the SD card reader and it worked.
    Looks like I'm going to do some fine surgery on around the cutout if the protector.
    If you do have some kind of casing and problems making the camera kit work, you may have the same problem I had.
    Hope it helps

    Possible, those rubber case are molded and not exactly of the same perfect dimensions... It's called fabrication tolerances. So lucky you then. Others might have the same imperfections mine have and will have an indication of one thing to look at.

  • Camera kit not working

    Hi all,
    I just experienced a problem with my iPad 2.
    I plugged the Camera Kit (SD plug) and inserted a SD Card inside in order to import pictures.
    Nothing happened...
    I tried to power off/on the iPad, and still no reaction.
    I've tried several SD Cards without reaction.
    I have even tried to use the USB Plug, and put some USB Memory Flash without any effect (but I never did this before).
    There is absolutely no reaction whatever card I plug.
    Still, if I plug the iPad to my laptop, it's ok (iTunes / Disk mode and so on).
    But, the weird thing is that it worked in the past with the same SD Card : I tried to import pictures and had a "disk full error".
    Of course, I deleted some files and now there is enough disk space to import a lot of pictures...
    My battery shows 36%.
    Do you have any clue ? I really wouldn't want to restore all settings.
    Is there a minimal battery state to import pictures from a SD Card ?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance !

    Just a quick post to add that I fixed the issue.
    I've powered up the iPad (up to 50%).
    I've put back the adapter+SD Card and firmly inserted the adapter even moving it a little bit to ensure contact.
    And the device worked back, and I could import the pictures from the card, as in the past.
    I'm not sure that the contact was the issue, I'd rather think that the iPad needs a minimal power to load pictures from the card.
    Wait & see, if I can find a "scientific" rule, I'll post it there.
    Thanks for those who read this topic anyway.

  • Ipad 2not responding to camera kit

    Got the camera kit a few weeks back and only recently got the chance to use it but my Ipad2 does not respond when the usb adaptor is plugged in. I tried the same thing with my wifes Ipad and it works fine. I turned my Ipad off and restarted it and still getting the same problem. case is not the problem. any ideas?

    Yes it does and I have tried the SD cards as well and i have the same problem. In both cases the USB and the SD card format is fat32 with folder DCIM and photos with 8.3 file name. As I said the USB work fine on my wifes ipad2 both failes on mind. The IOS version is the same 5.0.1

  • APOGEE Jam or BEHRINGER UCG102+Apple camera kit ?

    Hi all !
    So I want to plug my guitar into garageband, and at some point maybe a keyboard or other instruments.
    So I was wondering if there was any difference between using an Apogee Jam (that is more expensive, and hard to find in Europe for the time being) or the behringer thing + the Apple camera kit, that will be used to connect my camera every now and then too (duhh).
    Is there a quality difference between the two setups ? Any latency on either of the two ?
    What would you suggest ?
    I would use it at first with garageband and Ampkit+ for the iPad, and if the harware allows it (hence option 2), on the mac...
    Thanx for your input !

    Philippe-
    I don't know the answer, but do know the Apple Camera Connection Kit could be a problem.  It does not support much besides a camera or USB camera card adapter.  I've heard that it may support a USB keyboard, but some do not work.
    I suggest you contact the GarageBand App's author to find out if it will work the way you want to use it.  Perhaps Behringer would be able to tell you.

  • Nikon S6000 camera and camera kit

    I would like to buy a Nikon S6000. Does someone know for sure if it is compatible with the iPad camera kit?
    Also where exactly can I find a list of compatible cameras?
    Thanks

    but just so you know the camera is a pain, a lot of problems with it, charging, picture quality, it's just easier to get a canon

  • I just purchased a lightning sd card reader for my iPad, but it does not fit..it's for fourth gen...opps..I've now had to order the camera kit for third gen model...will I need both or do I return the first one

    Hi i just purchased an sd card reader but it's for fourth gen iPad...pops. I've now ordered the camera kit for the third gen ....do I need both somehow or do I just return the lightening ad reader I purchased first. I rang apple support and swear I was told keep both, but if the camera kit is all I need...I don't see the point in keeping the fourth gen one, since it won't fit? Confused...ita a fourteen day refund so I need to act fast...any help?

    There's no reaso to keep the Lightning version if your iPad can't support it. Unless you have some other devcie that can use it, like an iPad Mini or an iPhone 5.
    Otherwise return it.

  • Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

    I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
    I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

    One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
    @ rotorcraft:
    It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
    You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot
