CCK & iPad2 FAIL - (Accessory Unavailable-The attached accessory uses too much power)

Well, I'm not too impressed right now.
Picked up my new Camera Connection Kit (CCK) tonight and received the error message (see post title) on every camera I tried it on.
DCMI folders located in root.
Latest update (5.1)
This is with direct to camera connections.
Cameras all use micro SD cards, which CCK claims are comparable.
Some cameras use fully charges lithium batteries, others standard AA rechargables.
I'll buy a micro SD to SD converter if I have to, but the whole idea if geting the CCK was to have the photos transfer from camera to iPad with little hassle.
I'm away from home and without my laptop, so an out of the box working solution would have Been ideal.
Please reply ONLY if you've have a similar problem, or know the solution. Wishful thoughts of exploring further only clutter the topic.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps if you stated the models of cameras. From what I've read if you're connecting the cameras to the CCK, there are sometimes settings on the cameras you need to change to make it work.
I always use mine just with the SD card - saves my camera battery - and I've not had an issue.

HT4106 the "Accessory unavailable the attached accessory uses too much power" any suggestions ? it is an Olympus FE camera

Useing the camera connection with the USB cable the ipad says "Accessory unavailable the attached accessory uses too much power, the camera is an Olympus fe.

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.

I believe your camera uses a micro SD card. The CCK accepts the full size SD card. Do you have a SD card adapter to plug the micro into?

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.

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 "

I bought a camera connection kit but fail to connect to my iPad . My iPad prompt me that my attached device using too much power ! I got no problem using the SD connecting kit. My camera is Samsung EX1 , pls advise

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 ?

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

Now , to be total honest...I am trying to transfer pics from a microSD card with an regular size SD adapter to my Ipad 1....but that shouldn't matter, right?

HT4101 It says accessory will use too much power.......what do I do?

I have bought the lightning to USB camera adapter for my new iPad but it is saying the accessory uses too much power? What do I do? Please help

Is the adapter an Apple product or 3rd party?
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.

HT4101 Has anyone found a way to download pictures from Samsung Gala xy 3 phone to Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but keeps giving me the message uses too much power.

Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power. Any ideas?

You can't directly from a Galaxy phone. But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

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.

Can anybody help me please as I brought this cable and I get a message saying accessory unavailable or attachment uses too much power . Thanks in advance

If it's an Apple adapter, take it to an Apple store for replacement.
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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.
