Connecting my ipad mini to my camera using the USB camera kit error message 'device is to powerful' keeps popping up.

I am trying to connect my iPad mini to my Samsung camera using the USB camera kit, I keep getting the error message ' device to powerful'. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need to take it back?? The shop assistant in Currys assured me it should work and it wasn't cheap at £25 for a tiny wire! I have read other posts concerning this but they are dated quite a while ago so just wondered what the newest advice was concerning this. Thanks

The camera is drawing too much power for your iPad. This can happen on cameras which charge their batteries using the USB connection. Make sure that you have the camera set to the correct settings for picture transfer - check the documentation that came with the camera.
Note that you can return the USB kit and get the SD card adaptor or get a powered USB hub if you can't get the camera to work any other way.

I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up of the old Ipad from Itunes copy to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
would cost $100.
What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

The DVI to video adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6454000/wo/jP1F dznaaoNs2dPRALa1K0FqrB2/3.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3>
will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25
<http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103095&cp=&origkw=rfmodulator&kw=rfmodulator&parentPage=search>
No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

Hello cwill2
Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

Can't connect my camera using the usb port. Why does an error message appear?

I've connected this camera hundreds of times in the past. But now it says"A USB is attached that is drawing too much current. The hub to which it is attached will be deactivated." What's going on? This is just a little digital point and shoot.

A powered hub is a USB hub with it's own power supply. Google "powered hub". There's plenty to choose from. These don't depend on the computer connection to supply power to the USB devices connected to them. That's the reason for them requiring a separate power supply and of course why they are called "powered hubs".
The fact that your camera works when the printer is disconnected confirms what I have been saying. The machine just cannot supply enough power (I think it's 500mA max) to supply all the devices you want to connect concurrently (or it's right on the ragged edge).
As for seeing the power draw, the info is indeed in the System Profiler*. Select a USB device and look for info labeled "Current Available (mA)" and "Current Required (mA)". It's the current required that I think is the power draw.
* It's also shown in USB Prober in the Developert tools utilities.

HT1349 Can I hook my iPad up to my tv using the USB cord if my tv has a USB input?

Can I hook iPad up to tv with charging cord if tv has USB input to watch Netflix?

Not as far as i know. There's no protocol to send video out of the iPad via that 30 pin USB port. There have been some people saying they can hook their iPad up to their TV with the HDMI connector, but it seems that just as many have problems with getting both video and audio.

Does anyone knows how can I connect a PXW-X70 camera, to a PC and stream with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2? I connect the camera using the USB port, when I launched Adobe only shows my webcam. Thank you.

Equipment:
PC - Windows 8
Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2
Camera: Sony PXW-X70
Thank you....

Just guessing, but Windows wont see it unless you have a driver/interface that makes it appear to windows as a video device.

HT4106 I got the USB camera adapter but when I connect it with my ipad mini and my Samsung camera pl120 it appears on my ipad that is too much power.....I don't know what to do????

I got the USB camera adapter for the ipad mini but when I connect it with my Samsung camera pl120, it appears that's too much power on my ipad mini..,,,so I don't know what to do??????

If you have the card reader part of the camera kit and your camera uses SD cards, try doing it that way. It is the least troublesome way.
BUt if that doesn't work, then it may be a setting on your camera. Your camera may be trying to pull power from the iPad for you to download, and the iPad won't put out that much, triggering the error. If you have a power supply for your camera you can try using that. If not, maybe something in here can help you

you might also check on Samsung's site. See if they have any advice specific to iPads that can help.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

If the projector supports HDMI input.

i want to get the 3g and wifi Ipad...but dont want to get the 3g sim until i know i need it (as an option)

Yes you can still connect to WiFi. You can activate cellular when you need it.

I bought a camera connection kit. First time it worked fine, using the USB connector, but now neither the USB or SD connector works. The iPad shows a connector is attached, but Photos doesn't open. Any ideas? thanks

If you have not done so, try exiting the Photo app (and maybe more apps if you have a lot open) from the Open Apps List and see if a discount/reconnect opens the app. If that does not work, try powering down the iPad and test. If it is still not working try a hard reset by pressing both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time until the Apple graphic appears, ignoring the Slide to Power Off button.

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody
