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.

    When I connect my Nikon coolpix S9200 to the camera adaptor I get a message saying this device uses too much power, how can I overcome this?

    You are probably seeing this message because the camera uses the same port to charge it. The iPad can not supply the power to charge devices from it's dock connector. Also if you use the SD card adapter you are not using up the camera's battery for transferring the photos.

  • HT4101 My ipad says the device uses too much power when I connect my camera

    I brought my ipad 2 on holidays and have purchased the camera connection kit.  I tried to download my photos and an error message came up saying that the device uses too much power!    My ipad is powered up to 100% and I have closed any open files and it still says the same thing?  Does this actually work or do I have to return it?

    What have you connected to the kit ? The amount of power that is supplied to the kit is limited, and can't be changed - and a lot of card readers and cameras need more power than is supplied to it. If you have connected the kit directly to your camera then does your camera have a setting to enable 'mass storage device' and/or PTP (picture trasnfer protocol or pictbridge) ?

  • Camera connection kit w/USB says cannot work uses too much power

    When using the camera connection kit /USB the message cannot use device it uses too much power pops up!

    What are trying to use it with ? If you are connecting it to your camera then does your camera have a setting on it to enable PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol, Pictbridge) or Mass Storage Device ? If you are trying to use a third-party card reader or a flash-drive with the kit to copy photos/videos over to the iPad, then a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the iPad's port - if you have a powered card reader or a single-card reader (i.e. not one that has different slots for different types of memory card) then that might have a better chance of working

  • TS2634 IOS6 error message Accessory unavailable uses too much power

    IOS6 has stopped me from using my apple access connector that loads photos direct from memory card. Error message ,uses to much power.  This worked fine on my iPad 2 until I upgraded, any suggestions how to fix this?

    Hi Bobnewport1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to load GoPro videos is to remove the micro sd card from the GoPro and insert it into a Card Reader attached to your iPad Camera Connector.

    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?

  • 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.

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

  • IPad camera kit error "device uses too much power"

    Got the camera kit....when I attach it I get an error that says the device uses too much power. I've shut down and restarted the iPad several times and still get the same error. Anyone know what I can do?

    I have a camera that uses compact flash cards therefore I have been experimenting with card readers to avoid draining the camera battery when downloading the images to the iPad.
    I have been using the USB part of the camera connection kit with a multi card reader, at first I could not get anything to work, I thought ' the not enough power reason, I sorted out a powered USB hub to try, again no good, I disconnected everything and thought one last try, I put the card in the reader, connected the USB cable to the USB part of the camera connection kit and finally inserted the whole lot into the iPad, to my surprise the light on the card reader came on and a few seconds later 70 nef files were previewed on the screen.
    I repeated the above several times with the same results, I then tried two other card readers again OK, but if I just removed the card and then re inserted it nothing happened, these card readers are no name supermarket specials.
    I may have been lucky but I will continue to try my method and see if it holds up to regular use, so make the physical connection to the iPad the last part of the connection process, I hope this is of some help to others.

    When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

    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.

  • Lightning to usb camera adapter saying attachment uses too much power

    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

    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!

    You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
    I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
    I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
    Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
    For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.
