HT4101 Camera Connector problem

When I plug in the Camera Connector on my IPad 3, I get an error message "This accessory not supported by IPad". It is a genuine Apple Camera attachment purchased from Apple Store. The SD card reader works great, so no problem with it.

Make sure the 30 pin dock connector on the USB adaptor isn't damaged or dirty, if that isn't the case, plug the camera in, and then the adaptor. If that doesn't seem to work the adaptor may be defective.

CANON 350D with Apple camera connector problem !

Dear all,

Hope you can help since i'm now on holiday with a lot of phot

I just got one of the camera connectors today and got it to work with the A620. My iPod froze the first time; I think because I plugged in the camera before turning it on. I've only transferred a few pictures so far. I'll probably fill up my 512MB card this week and see what happens. I'll repost if I have any problems.

Camera connector problem

I have a Fujifilm F10 digital camera, iPod 4G with click wheel and camera connector. I have once successfully managed to transfer 6 photos from the camera to iPod with the connector. I just plugged them together and it did it automatically. I have now taken a lot more pictures and a few short videos. I tried the same again and it keeps saying "Card not inserted". I have checked the card is working in the camera and that all of the leads are tightly together. Any idea what the problem might be? Could it be due to the video clips?

HT4101 Camera connector kit not working with ipad3. Not at all able to see any photo . Have tried both the USB connector directly with camera and thru card reader. Tried by copying photos to DCIM folder also.

Got a iPad camera connector kit. It is not working as expected. It is not able to read any photos. Both the USB connector and sd card reader arenot showing any photos on iPad. Tried copying all photos directly in DCIM folder. Still no result.
Any other setting needs to be changed?

Hey, thanks for your updates.
The photos are 8 character long and extension is .jpg
The file names are 8 characters long with 3 as alphapet followed by an "_" and then 4 numbers.
Initially the photos were in a folder inside DCIM folder. I manually copied them to DCIM folder, still no result.
Can you advice.

HT4101 Camera Connector kit

I can use the camera connector kit to view documents on my flash drive?

Not really, and here's why:
1. The flash drive may require too much power for it to function in which case the iPad will display a message saying "The connected USB device requires too much power" and will simply not work
2. The connection kit looks for a folder called "DCIM" which is created by digital cameras and is the place all your photos are stored.
3. It is designed only to work with pictures and movies so any other file/document is not likely to work

Camera Connector Problems

My camera is supported (Canon S1IS), and when i connect to my ipod which is color ipod 40GB photo (an original one - the thick one) i can go to "Import photos", but the screen is blank and nothing happens.

Rick,
I have had no problem with a Rebel XT and the 60gb Video iPod.
There are a limited number of card readers which will also work according to this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodCameraConnector
I have no first hand knowledge if they will also work the the video iPod as that list was generated for the 4G iPods.
There are several threads on the pro and cons of using the iPod as a digital wallet at the media and storage forum on DPreview. Do a search on "iPod"

Crash during picture transfer with Camera Connector

I searched on various places and have found some people have similar issues but I have not seen a solution.
I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z4 and a brand new iPod Video 80Gb. For my holiday, I borrowed a Camera Connector from a friend of mine and briefly tested the combination with a couple of pictures on the SD card of the Casio camera. This worked fine.
However, it did turn out not to work well. As the SD card contains approx 100 pictures, I left the iPod alone during the copy. After a while, it appeared to have finished. But looking at it, only 30 or so pictures had been copied. And even worse, the iPod did not work as it did before. It could not play any media anymore.
A reset did the trick, but it did not solve the Camera Connector problem. Next import, the same happened but then the pictures could not even be seen on the iPod. Had to reset again. I tried several times, different SD cards in the camera, all the same predictable result.
Coming home, iTunes suggests a firmware update to 1.2.1 so I hoped this would solve the problem. Unfortunately not, I am still unable to use the Camera Connector and have to reset the iPod when I try to do.
Is there any solution to this?

I had the same problem with an 80GB Ipod and a Canon s50. I found that the only way to get back the ability to play the media was to drain the battery completely, and then recharge. Things would work then. When I went to look at my photos, I noticed that the "difficult roll" had only transfered 49 of 500 pictures, and you couldn't view any of the transfered pictures. I deleted the roll but was never able to successfully transfer the pictures from the card - I tried 3 times with the same result. I'm actually returning the camera connector and the Ipod.

Photo Transfer Problem From Minox Dcc M3 to Ipod via Camera Connector

Hi,
I have a minox Dcc M3 digital camera,and i recently purchased a 5th generation ipod with the intention of downloading images from my minox camera direct to the ipod, so that i could delete the images from my camera and carry on taking more pictures without having to carry my laptop around with me, The camera only has a 32mb built in flash memory and will not download direct to the ipod via an ipod camera connector,I have tried other cameras that only have built in flash memory and none of them will download direct to the ipod, Has anyone out there come across this problem before,according to apple the ipod supports the following image transfer protocols:- PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)and Mass Storage.Could anyone tell me if there is any firmware update for the ipod or camera that would make the ipod compatible with the cameras flash memory and allow me to download my images to my ipod.

I don`t think there is an option to turn on or off any transfer protocols,on connecting the camera to windows xp it connects staight away and viewing/downloading photos is no problem,it works the same as my other camera no problem.I have followed apples procedure of connecting (ie:-turn on ipod/connect camera connector/turn on camera and connect usb cable) the camera then shuts off immediately,i can turn it on again but all i get from the ipod is the message "ready to connect".It seems to me that the ipod does not even know the camera is connected?,looks like maybe this camera is not compatible with ipod,but i cannot help but think that other camera makes with built in memory would suffer from the problem.

HT4101 My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

I'm having same problems. If I connect my blackberry it says it uses too much power. If I take sd card out of phone and connect that way I get the same message. The leaflet with the connector says go to Apple.com/support/iPad to find list of compatible cameras.......... I'm still trawling the site to find any such list! Just need to know if it will work with a blackberry ..... If not I've got to take it back. Have been advised by a friend to cut my losses get my money back and use Bump to transfer my pics. I don't own a traditional camera because my phone has a great one. Really don't want to have to carry a camera about with me! They don't make it easy do they!

D800 file compatibility: Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit? I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit? I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files.
I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
Any advice appreciated?
PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

Problem with ipod camera connector

i am trying to use the ipod camera connector. there are 3 recurring problems.
sometimes, the ipod says that there is no picture in the connected camera. in the apple support website, it says that i have to reconnect the camera connector but that does not help.
recently, altough all pictures are still on the ipod in the same files as before (i have checked by using the ipod as an external drive), the ipod said that all rolls were empty.
finally, when going on the "photos" part of the ipod, it sometimes does not even show the "import" menu and therefore does not allow viewing the existing pictures altough they are on the ipod.
any help welcome

I have the same problem as you but after reading through all the posts I found this worked for me "Ipod reset (on hold, off of hold, press menu and centre buttons for 6 seconds) then after it has rebooted unplug then replug your camera connector (at this point it may well work but if you still get "Unsupported device" or no card inserted then power cycle your camera, a bit long winded but this is the only way I could get my Canon 20d to work!

Camera Connector thumbnail creation problem

When importing photos from my camera, my iPod only creates 8 thumbnails! Repeatably, no matter how many photos are uploaded.
(Video iPod, 30GB, 5th generation, color, Software v. 1.2.1, 10 GB free space)
I use the Apple iPod Camera Connector to upload photos directly from my Canon SD600. The transfer (camera -> iPod) works fine and then from iPod -> iPhoto, all the photos come out okay.
BUT, the iPod will only create thumbnails for the first 8 photos, and then it shows a little gray square where the thumbnail should be. When I browse, I can only see 8 photos, no matter how many are there. If there are movies in the first 8, it'll show the movie icon, then create thumbs for the first 8 photos.
The problem is inconvenient but not fatal since the photos are all there and they upload fine.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 5th Generation, 30 GB, Software 1.2.1, 10 GB free

The problem seems to have been solved by resetting the iPod from within iTunes. Following that, it seems to behave as it should. I tested it by uploading 11 photos through the camera connector and it created thumbnails for each.

HT4101 Lightning to USB Camera Connector & the IPad 4

When connecting the Lightning to USB Camera Connector to the IPad 4; it is giving a MSG that the device requires too much power. Any suggestions??

What are trying to use it with ? If a flash drive or card reader then a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the kit, though a powered reader might work. If a camera then does the camera have a menu setting on it to enable Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP or Pictbridge) or Mass Storage Device - I know that some Canon DSLRs do, I'm not sure about other makes.

Problems with iPad camera connector kit

I used the camera connector kit yesterday with my sd card and it worked fine. I have tried to use it again today and it comes up with Contents not available, cannot read the connected storage media. Any suggestions as to how to get it to work?

How are the photos getting onto the card, directly from the camera or are you copying them onto the card from your computer ? If you are copying them onto the card then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
If the card has come straight from the camera then try a reset of the iPad and see if the photos are then recognised : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
