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.

  • Kingston DTSE9 with Lightning to USB Camera Connector

    Hi
    Does anyone know if the above USB stick works with the Lightning to USB camera connector? Just checking options before I purchase.
    thanks
    Neil

    Apologies Alfred.
    I'm aware of the limitations of the system, and mimicking the file structure of a cameras storage is perfect for my needs.
    My question should have stated my interest is more in regards to the energy needed to run the USB stick, as I’m acutely aware that different USB sticks have different power requirements, some being above and beyond what the IPad can supply.
    I hope that this clarifies my question
    Thanks

  • HT1386 My device is not seen in iTunes with the lightning cable that came with the iPad air.  Is that not a synching cable?

    my device doesn't seem to be recognized by iTunes with the cable provided with the brand-new iPad Air?  I am unable to synch. Suggestions.?  Is that cable in the box only for charging?  It is a lightning cable and I did upload the latest Operating systems for both the iPad and iTunes.

    It is a sync cable.
    Try a different usb port.
    reinstall itunes.
    Turn the pc off/on.

    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.

  • Hi, im trying to download pictures from my camera but when I connect the lightning to usb camera adapter i get the message that there is too much energy required to support the device, can anyone help me?

    Hi, I´m trying to use the lightning to usb camera adaper, but I get a message that ¨there is too much energy needed to support the device¨, so I can´t download my pictures, can anyone help me?

    This discussion may help.
    It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
    Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
    Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

  • What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

    Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
    Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
    When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

    Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
    Use Case 1:
    When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
    In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
    Use Case 2:
    A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
    In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
    It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
    a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
    b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
    If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter gives warning

    I have a 4th generation iPad with iOS 7.1 and the original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter bought online from the US Apple Store. Whenever I plug it in the iPad I get this warning: 'This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPad.' If I close the iPad cover and leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it and go to the Settings<General<About page the cck is listed. I tried the lightning usb adapter on an iPad with iOS 6 and it was immediately recognized. Is this a software problem or a faulty camera adapter?

    The original Camera Connection Kit uses a 30-pin connector thile the iPad 4 has a lightning connector. You mention an adapter. Are you using an original Apple-branded adapter? I have seen other posts here that say it is likely this adapter that is causing the problem.
    Using the Lightning connectors do no cause this problem.

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter.

    I recently purchased an IPAD MINI and a Lightning to USB Camera adapter.  I went to plug my Sony Cyber Shot digital camera into my Ipad Mini via the adapter and it says "USB DEVICE REQUIRES TOO MUCH POWER.  Yet, when I plugged in my big Nikon D5000 SLR camera, it works fine.  My problem is, we like to carry around the smaller Sony camera more often, and it wont work with the new adapter.  Any suggestions?

    Please try to disable USB charging (if available) on your Sony Cyber Shot or set USB connection type as  [PTP] (Picture Transfer Protocol) or Mass Storage Device.
    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.
    Good luck!

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter polarity sensitive?

    Lightning to USB camera adapter works with Nikon D90 camera well, only the lightning plug is polarity sensitive. If you turn around it doesn't work anymore. Is that normal or is my cable may be defective?

    Thanks, Gerrit
    I only have the lightning cable on my iPhone and it works either way. My iPad 2 camera connection kit uses the prior 30-pin connector.

    It's not polarized. Yours must be defective.
