Camera uses too much power error.

I have the iPad connection kit but get error camera uses too much power. How do I resolve this?

Some cameras do this & there's nothing you can do. Use the camera's SD card instead.

  • 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

  • IPad camera kit error "device uses too much power"

    Got the camera kit....when I attach it I get an error that says the device uses too much power. I've shut down and restarted the iPad several times and still get the same error. Anyone know what I can do?

    I have a camera that uses compact flash cards therefore I have been experimenting with card readers to avoid draining the camera battery when downloading the images to the iPad.
    I have been using the USB part of the camera connection kit with a multi card reader, at first I could not get anything to work, I thought ' the not enough power reason, I sorted out a powered USB hub to try, again no good, I disconnected everything and thought one last try, I put the card in the reader, connected the USB cable to the USB part of the camera connection kit and finally inserted the whole lot into the iPad, to my surprise the light on the card reader came on and a few seconds later 70 nef files were previewed on the screen.
    I repeated the above several times with the same results, I then tried two other card readers again OK, but if I just removed the card and then re inserted it nothing happened, these card readers are no name supermarket specials.
    I may have been lucky but I will continue to try my method and see if it holds up to regular use, so make the physical connection to the iPad the last part of the connection process, I hope this is of some help to others.

  • HT4101 My ipad says the device uses too much power when I connect my camera

    I brought my ipad 2 on holidays and have purchased the camera connection kit.  I tried to download my photos and an error message came up saying that the device uses too much power!    My ipad is powered up to 100% and I have closed any open files and it still says the same thing?  Does this actually work or do I have to return it?

    What have you connected to the kit ? The amount of power that is supplied to the kit is limited, and can't be changed - and a lot of card readers and cameras need more power than is supplied to it. If you have connected the kit directly to your camera then does your camera have a setting to enable 'mass storage device' and/or PTP (picture trasnfer protocol or pictbridge) ?

  • When I connect my camera to my iPad I get a requires too much power error message

    I keep getting a "usb device requires too much power" error when I connect my external camera to my iPad. 

    Doing a search on here it looks like other people have the same problem with Sony cybershot cameras. If you have a card reader which doesn't draw too much power then you could try using that with the USB part of the kit.

  • Error message, device uses too much power

    I am attempting to transfer digital photos from a point and shoot type digital camera to my Ipad 2.  I am connected through an USB and the Apple connector kit.  I get an error message that says, "device uses too much power" and it will not transfer images.

    Does the camera use an SD card? Have you tried going that route?

  • Error msg 'attached accessory uses too much power' ??!

    WOW...HELP!!
    I get an error message:  'attached device uses too much power' virtually every time I attach ANYTHING.  Really?  Is this related to my distressingly sophisticated cyber-stalker- from- ****?  All I want to do is download some pics from my camera, for heaven's sake!  As a bonus, it would be cool if the apps I've purchased would actually function; scratch that - if they'd just show up in the apps list in my settings, even...that would be progress!
    I love Apple; my issues are NOT the result of the product, nor a lack of patience (and kindness) on Apple's part.  However, I refuse to accept 'statistically impossible error' as my lot in life...especially not as the result of some idiot stalker.
    BUT....
    I am woefully outclassed by this hacker jack***
    HELP!

    What are you trying to attach?

    If there are no user settings in the app, it will not show up in Settings since there is nothing you can set.

  • To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

    I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
    Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
    Regards

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?

    I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?

    I reconnected the original powered hub that I thought probably caused the problem and this time it shut down the whole computer. When I rebooted everything now works perfectly. The system reset. I tried another powered hub and it didn't have the same effect so the old one is heading for the bin and with fingers crossed all systems are now working perfectly. Trying to reset PRAM or reset the SMC didn't work but causing the same power issue did. Thanks for your input though. It did get me to think what was the original cause.

  • HT4101 When connecting my camera to my IPad mini via lightniing to usb camera adapter,I get "The attached accessory uses too much power" .Any solutions?

    When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

    It depends on the camera, but some have a special mode for offloading photos but not trying to charge the camera through the USB port. For others, you may have to pull out the SD card (if that's what it uses) and use the Lightning to SD card reader instead.
    Maybe if you told us what camera you are connecting, somebody here with the same model can give you more specific information.

  • 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 - Accessory uses too much power

    I am trying to import photos from my Kodak EasyShare M873 via the USB connector from the CCK. About a quarter of the way through the import, the iPad disconnects and states, "The attached accessory is using too much power". Is anyone else getting this. I suppose I could just remove the SD card from the camera everytime I want to import. But then what is the point of having the USB adaptor if the iPad can't handle connecting to a semi-low quality consumer camera?

    The USB cable is great if the battery is full and you don't have a ton of photos, or if the camera either has photos in its "built-in" memory or doesn't use SD.
    PERSONALLY I'm glad they included both, but plan to use only the SD adapter on trips.

    PS: It might be interesting, though probably camera-specific, to compare transfers times both ways...

  • I bought a camera connection kit , while connecting my camera (Samsung ex1) , I got this message from my iPad "my attached accessories using too much power "

    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 ?
