Canon 5D III tether to iPad 4 (either cable direct or wifi

I'm using a Canon 5D III and I would like to RELIABLY transfer photos in real-time to my iPad 4 Retina for proofing/checking the photos. Either cable-direct or wifi. I have the latest version of Lightroom and PS CC 2014. Can I do it and how do I do it? I've read that some of wifi options are not that reliable. Thanks. Bob

FWIW I have in the past used the Canon CameraWindow app to transfer photos to my iPad 4 from my wife"s Canon SX280HS via WiFi...
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/canon-camerawindow/id501009725?mt=8
...or use the iPad Camera Connection Kit/SD Card Reader...

Neither method is real time however...

Canon 5D III tethered to Ipad

I have a 5D III. I would like to tether (wireless or cable-direct) to my iPad 4 Retina so I can proof pictures in near real-time. I prefer wireless so I can work in the field where this is NO internet connectivity. I have Aperture, Lightroom 5, and PS CC 2014 on my big computer. Can I do this? How? Eye-fi, camranger, etc? What software do I need to be running on my iPad? HELP! Bob

The 5D III does support the Eye-Fi card (in it's SD card slot) and the iPad also supports it. That's not a problem.
The problem, is that if you shoot RAW (I prefer to shoot RAW) it is painfully slow to transfer images via the Eye-Fi.
The radio in the card is not continuously active. It stays off while you're shooting (to conserve battery power since the radio drains battery faster) and after about 5 seconds of the camera being idle, the radio will switch on, join the network, and begin transferring images. JPEG images transfer in just a few seconds... but RAW images take considerably longer (probably at least 30 seconds for each image but I've never timed it.)
That means you "shoot" and wait for about the next 40 seconds for your image to show up on the iPad... which is painfully slow for proofing before moving on to the next shot. And as I said... it's not like you can ignore it and just keep shooting while images transfer because it will never shoot and transfer images at the same time. If it has a bunch of images queued up to transfer and starts copying them, as soon as you start shooting again it will halt the transfer and switch off the radio (it will switch on again when the camera goes idle again.)
So while this "works" in concept, it's painfully slow to the point that I don't think you'll enjoy it.
ANOTHER option (and I haven't tried this myself) is to use the Canon WFT-E7A wireless file transmitter for the camera. Canon also has a WFT Server app for iOS that would work on the iPad and allow the WFT module to transfer files to the iPad that way. See: http://learn.usa.canon.com/app/pdfs/quickguides/WFT_Server_iOS.pdf
Before you race out and buy one, read the product reviews. Lets just say it doesn't exactly get stellar reviews. From what I can tell, it "works" in that it does what it claims to do, but it's described as being extremely clunky. Add to that ... it's ludicrously overprice for what it is. If you read the reviews you quickly get the idea that Canon basically crammed something out the door without much thought to it... and should probably be embarassed by this particular accessory.
I like my Canon products... but even I had a hard time with the price tag and the fact that it's appearance suggests it was designed by a team who was not allowed to know what the 5D III actually looked like when they were designing this accessory.

IPad 4 Retina connected to Canon 5D III

I am trying to connect my Canon 5D III to my iPad 4 Retina so I can review photos as I shoot. I want a wired connection. I have the correct cables. One end is connected to my camera, the other is connected to my iPad. This is as far as I got. The camera will not fire. I'm looking for a detailed description of what I need to do. Help. Bob

Hello R021043F2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please take a look at the support article below that gives you troubleshooting steps for using the iPad's camera connection kit.

I just upgraded from LR 3.6 to 4, I can't get 4 to open canon mark iii raw files.?

I just upgraded from LR 3.6 to 4, I can't get 4 to open canon mark iii raw files.? Also, does CS5 not read Canon 5D Mark iii files either? thanks

For Cs 5, please use the latest version of Camera raw. Cannon 5D Mark III is supported on Camera raw 6.7. Update the software or download install the camera raw 6.7 from the Adobe Website.
Lightroom 4, please wait for the next update of camera raw for the support of Cannon 5D Mark III. You may try using the beta version of Camera raw 7.1 available on Adobe labs.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?

In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii? Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

What Mark III?
Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

HT5182 How do I import RAW photos from canon 7d to my new iPad 4?

Use the Apple Camera connection Kit and connect your camera directly to the iPad. Turn on the camera and you'll get an option to import.

Why aren't my .CR2 RAW files opening in Elements 9.0 from my Canon Mark III 5D?

I am super confused as to why my old Canon Rebel CR2 (RAW) files have always opened in Elements 9.0, but now my new camera (Canon Mark III 5D)'s RAW files are not opening? Thanks!

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How do I tether my iPad to my iPhone 4

I have an iphone 4 and I am trying to tether my iPad 2 to it but I can't hind the personal hotspot feature can somebody help me please

Verizon is my carrier and I have an unlimitted data plan. On my iPhone 4S I navigated to: Settings->General->Cellular->Personal Hotspot. Even though I have unlimitted data, I had to call Verizon and enable tethering for $20/month. Once enabled by Verizon technical support (611), I was able to setup a hotspot (will appear as a hotspot on any device with WiFi). Now I can connect to the iPhone hotspot from my iPad 2 or laptop wirelessly.

I cannot open raw files taken with my Canon Mark III in CS5

I am running CS5 on a newer computer (2012)... Every time I try to edit raw images taken with my Canon Mark III, a text box appears alerting me that my camera model is not supported by camera raw. I have tried various updates and software installations, but I have been unsuccessful in remedying the problem. Can anyone help or tell me what update/ software to download? I apologize if this thread already exists.

Canon Mark III do you mean Canon 1D Mark III or Canon 1DS Mark III or Canon 5D Mark III ???
In any case CS 5 ACR update 6.7 should handle all those cameras.
