HT4101 lightning sd camera reader
Ipad Air,ive recently bought the lightning to SD Card Camera reader. put in my sd card and then the lightning reader into the ipad air, and it fails to reconise the reader saying there are no photos to upload, any ideas
Are the photo files in jpg format, or some other format like raw?
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.
Cheers, Tom

HT4623 Can I use lightning SD camera card reader after upgrading my iPad 4 to iOS. 7?
Hi! All,
I am using lightning SD camera reader with my iPad 4 running with iOS 6 without any problem. But I would like to upgrade to iOS 7. I saw some reviews
after upgrading the card reader is not working. I contacted apple support community people for the above issue recently through chat. They said the device should work even after upgrading. I have not yet upgraded. But iOS 7 is tempting with its amazing look. What do I do? If I upgrade and my SD card reader wont work then I will be in great disapppointment. Please help if any body has answer for my problem..

I just purchased a lightning to sd card camera reader and when I connected to my iPad it said it wouldn't work, why?
What is the actual error message that you are getting, what typs of card is it, and how did the photos get onto the SD card ?
The supported cards are, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101 :
SDSC
SDHC
miniSD
microSD
MMC
SDXC
If you copied the photos onto the card yourself then the card needs to have a DCIM directory on 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. -
Transfer photo problem: Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to iPad
Equipment:
Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader-ZML (from BH Photo dot com)
Version 7.0.2 (11A501)
iPad Wi-Fi Cellular 32GB MD517LL/A
SD card 4GB Kingston SDHC
SD card 32GB Lexar SDHC Class 10
Nikon D5100
Fry's build desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition
Files type:
*.jpg
Desired outcome:
Transfer *.jpg images from desktop to SD card to iPad for use Photos (camera roll)
Successes:
iPad recognizes and displays *.jpg created in-camera.
Problem statement:
File origin: all image files created with camera listed above.
Files created in camera (*.jpg & *.NEF (RAW), then transferred to desktop. *.NEF files converted to *.jpg. Reload files to SD card in *.jpg format only, iPad does not see / display images to be imported from SD card to iPad.
Problem resolution attempts:
Format SD card using desktop, result - iPad does not recognize SD card
Format SD card using camera, result - iPad recognizes SD card
Try a different SD card (used two, see equipment above)
Test shot photo (*.jpg) in camera work only (no transfer to desktop), result iPad recognizes and displays image
For *.jpgs on desktop
1st convert file names to same nomenclature (system of names) created by camera (DSC_001.jpg) (DSC underscore 3 digits file extension).
2nd load file into same folder that was created by camera on SD cards, result displayed one desktop originating test photo once only. Subsequent attempts failed.
No difference in performance between the 2 SD cards. In camera work displays but not transfer files from desktop to SD card
E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll. I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software. The operating system was updated to what I have now. I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.

Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad. I read prior to purchase what image files were supported. I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.
Houston, Texas, United StatesThere's a step by step in the manual
http://support.apple.com/manuals/
There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera. -
I need import immediatly my clips video from my camcorder in my mini ipad with my SD card.
Solution: I have to use "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader"
Problem: When i insert my Sd card in the "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader", my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... And i'm sure the format of clips video is accepted by ipad (specs).
I know why my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... Because the directory where my camcorder put the clips video on the SD card is not accepted by "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader". After some research, this device accept only the video in "DCIM" directory.
So my question: WHO KNOW WHICH CAMCORDER CAN BE ACCEPTED BY "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" WITH CORRECT VIDEO FORMAT (SPECS) AND CORRECT WRITING DIRECTORY "DCIM"?
Thanx for your help!!!!!Since the ipad is not a computer it cannot be expected to behave as such. The resources are limited and so are the capabilities. Some things will work just fine but others will not. You have to be willing to make some compromises and accept some of the limitations, otherwise you will end up being frustrated. Maybe another device will better suite your needs.

How to transfer photos via Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to iPad.
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

HT2494 Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader.
I attached the reader to the Mac Air and can find it in the finder location. But when I go to open it there is nothing there. The SD card is in the reader. My software is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5(11G63). One thing i read is that my software needs to be an earlier software. But I don't want to change my software. What can I do to get this to work?
In the past I've managed to copy an MP4 film via an SD card with the camera connection kit on the first gen iPad and been able to play it, but a film bought from iTunes didn't play (you can't copy content to the Videos app via the kit) - I assume that the same thing applies to the iPad 4/Mini and the lightning to SD reader. Also the kit only recognises content that is in a particular format : the card has to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos/videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus file extension.

IPhone 6 Plus and Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Missed Opportunity?
Apple definitely missed an opportunity to tighten up the DSLR/GoPro photography/video workflow with the iPhone 6 Plus. Currently the only way to transfer images from a DSLR or GoPro camera is through an extremely slow WiFi/Bluetooth transfer process. This is fine for someone is moving 1 or 2 images. But, for a batch of 50 to 100, this approach is way too time consuming. Android devices are way ahead of Apple in this regard and I'm fighting the urge to break-away from the iPhone once again, for something that is very solvable.
Enabling the the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to work with the new iPhone 6 Plus solves this workflow issue.
Why not enable it?I was gonna buy the 128GB iPhone 6+ until I read this. Now, nope. I may still have to get an iPhone because of the tons of apps I'm already invested in, but since the 6+ will be useless for photos, it'll be the midrange regular 6. Maybe.
Meanwhile, I'd love to get an Android device in about the same size as the 6+, storage and screen-wise, but don't need the cell capability. At 128GB it would make a great photo vault and something I could do some metadata entry on. Any suggestions?

Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.
Try rebooting your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket? If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it. -
Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad. -
Just bought a Lightning to SD card camera reader. Doesnt work. Now read a lot of bad reviews about the lightning connectors. ANyone else having this problem? Anyway to transfer photos by bluetooth?
How are you placing the emailed photos on the SD card? They must be in the DCIM folder and have names like here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_system

My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?
Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.External HDD won't work.
You need something like this:
