Connect USB devices to iPad

Is it possible to connect USB devices, such as an Extn Harddrive, using an adapter or such?: Thanks, Greg

You can use the iPad Camera Connection Kit to connect a camera or sdcard, but connecting a hard drive is not supported at the moment. You can take a look at the Seagate Satellite hard dirve you can connect via Wi-Fi

I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad. I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

What do I need to do to get my cannon camera to upload pictures into iPad . When I plug it in system comes up connected USB device is not supported?

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.)

Thanking you

Some cameras are designed to use the power suppled via USB when they're plugged into another device, usually a PC or laptop. The iPad does not supply sufficient power for a camera. The iPad Camera kit allows for either a camera to be plugged in only for the transfer of photos, not as a power sourse, or the removal of the SD Card from a camera so it can transfer photos as an alternative.

Information Retrieval on Connected USB devices (without storage)

I know how to retrieve list of USB devices (with storage via PowerShell) that connected to my Notebook.
Am not sure how to retrieve a list of connected USB devices (without storage) such as wireless mouse, keyboard etc. I need their information such as brand, model and serial number.

Start with this:
gwmi win32_pnpentity |?{$_.deviceid -match 'usb'}|select name

Connect USB device to lumia??

can i connect USB devices such as pen drive to my lumia (like we can to android) without damaging it??

There is a LOT of great options and features I still miss from back when I used a Commodore Amiga, features which still can't be found in any of today's computer OS, that does not mean I keep b*tching and moaning about it every time.
Some stuff found in older/earlier phone OS have been superseded by more current methods. Back in the N95 days we did not have the (relatively) cheap Internet access we have today which prevented using the Internet in a deeply integrated way we do now.
I get that change is not something a lot of people will adjust to quickly, but all round things are moving towards a more Internet centric way of doing things. You may not like it or even want it, but it is the way things are. I have all my music, my images and videos available to me on my phone through the Internet. And I mean everything, either on Skydrive or through my home server. When I travel using methods that do not offer Internet access (yet) I copy a selection of what I want to the phone.
Windows Phone, by design, is much more centered around using the Internet to get to what yo use/need. I can understand that for some that is not (yet) and option, but if that is so then quite frankly Windows phone may not be for you.

Is there an App in App Store to solve "Cannot Use Device - 'The connected USB device requires too much power' error

I'm not an app developer, but I'm wondering if there is an app that enable's USB devices connected via the camera USB and using the most current iOS 5.0 to use USB devices that draw on the iPad's power. I'm making reference to some USB microphones such as Blue Yeti that have suggested that to get a Blue Yeti working one hasto downgrade to iOS 3.2.2?
I'm thinking, can Apple or someone make this app so the user may think, "okay I want more power now to record something", and the user can turn up the power and when they've done recording, go to the app, turn down the power when the USB device is not in use [by turning down the power via the app].
Of course with the App, Apple or the developer may state that using the USB Charge Changer radically reduces the charge of the device. It'll keep a LOT of musicians and creative types very happy. I hope with Apple's blessing they'll consider this.
Hey, I'll pay 5 bucks to get this app!

No, third-party apps cannot change the power drawn by USB devices. Such a change would have to come from Apple in an IOS update.
Send feedback directly to Apple about this here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

My Keyboard and Mouse freeze after connecting USB device

In the past few weeks I got this situation where my MacBook Air (13" Late 2010 model) would stop responding to the keyboard and trackpad after I connect a USB device (like an external hard disk, or even my iPhone).
I found one (quite inconvenient) solution: if I connect an external USB mouse and keyboard they work, and after a while the built in trackpad and keyboard start working again. But if I do not have an external mouse and keyboard around me, I am quite stuck and only a reboot fixes the situation.
Any idea what might be causing this, or if there is any solution? It is clearly a software issue, as the hardware can be returned to normal state after reboot.
Note: I have the latest OS - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50) and regularly update my software.

I have the same issue, on the same model (late 2010 13" MBA).
I haven't been able to figure out a solution either. Strangely, I recently bought a USB external drive and it *never* causes a freeze upon connection. Only smaller devices (iPod, iPad, FitBit, USB stick) cause it. I need to reboot the computer with the device attached to be able to access it.

Help my ibook freezes when I connect usb devices

Hi there
I have had problems for weeks when I attached usb devices to my ibook. I have a usb (MAC approved) headset which caused the ibook to freeze when I connect it before or after startup. I also have a usb modem for a broadband connection which causes the ibook to freeze. The printer is usb also, but it only causes the ibook to freeze some of the time ????? I have run the hardware test disc, there were no errors. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreiate hearing them.
Cheers

Hi f,

Hwd -e does not list connected USB devices

USB devices for audio in/out not recognized in hwd -e.
Desired USB Items appear in KDE INFO CENTER: SOUND.
KDE MIXER alternate...USB Mixer... shows OUTPUT PCM icon but no INPUT device is shown (thus, no device is connected).
System has udev installed but uncertain whether root permission is provided for the USB devices...namely...USB MIXER and SND-USB.
Spent many hours in stupid search for ...audio group....and ...optical group...
when the reference name for the "group" is...audio devices... and ....optical devices... This is a common problem in searching out posts..improper nomenclature references.
A listing for ...mixer...is provided but none for ...usb mixer...
Can I assume that all entries in the udev permissions file permit immediate use by root? Do they have to be edited to function? The indications are that root owns them all and doesn't need permission.
Sure would like to get USB audio running!!!
Are there special requirements for the USB devices?

Additional info:
Tried playing a CD track copied onto the desktop in XMMS. The display shows it responding in XMMS. There is no audio from the external USB sound device.
The mixer in KDe is set to USB Audio mixer (PCM). An output ICON appears but there is no INPUT icon( No source connected).

Does OSX log the serial number of connected USB devices?

In Ubuntu, you can find the serial number of any USB devices that have been connected in /var/log. I see references to USB devices in the kernel log on my iMac, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't additional information elsewhere.
Thanks

Check the sytem log in Console.

Zen Xtra- Installed drivers, but when connected, "USB Device Not Recognized&qu

Hello- I'm trying to install a Creative Zen Xtra mp3 player on Windows XP. I installed all of the drivers and software, but when I connected the player, I got an error from Windows saying the "USB device is not recognized". I tried downloading all the new drivers and software from Creative, but it's no use. I was hoping maybe someone would have the inf file so I can install the driver manually. I can't find it on the installation CD or online anywhere. Thanks for any help!?~Jim

having a similar problem myself, recently misplaced the original usb 2.0 cord that came with my microphoto and unable to find a replacement, getting the same message though from other 5pin usb's I've tried

REMOTEFX "permissions" error when opening a connected USB devices.

Hello,
Topology: Windows 2012 R1 Terminal Server. Windows 7 workstation. Fuji USB digital camera.
If I plug the USB camera into this Windows 7 workstation, the camera shows up locally. I can access the files and copy them to local folders.
If I log into an RDP session as a USER level user, I see the camera and I see the View Files option but I cannot open it.
I get a permissions error attempting to open the folder.
If I log in as administrator, I can open the folders and copy the files.
There are no permissions options that I can find in either the camera nor the redirected device icon.
Does anyone know where it is running into this permissions issue and/or how to correct this problem.

Hello Dharmesh,
Thanks for the reply.
That setting is set on the Terminal Servers. The workstations are using the latest RDP client. I've test this on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
The terminal servers are Hyper-V virtual servers. Do I need to set any policies on the Host server to pass these USB devices?
As you can see below, the camera does show up locally and remotely. However when it appears remotely, it doesn't allow me to open it as a user level user nor Administrator.
The event viewer is clear of errors associated with the device install. (See next post for Events)
I couldn't find any manufacturers drivers for this camera and it does load automatically locally so it should load remotely as well.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks again,
Robert
