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) ?

  • I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive.  The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power.  Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

    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.

    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.

  • Why does my Macbook pro said "unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" when i plug in my iphone's charger to connect my phone with the mac?

  • HT4106 unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices

    iPad min cannot be changred, it shows

    Try unplugging it. Give your iPad a reset by holding down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds (until it reboots) then try again.

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

    I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
    Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
    Regards

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • I made an extra backup on a USB device and now I can't get it back because "the device uses too much power". Why didn't it a few weeks ago and how can I use the device anyway?

    because "it uses too much power"
    I did'nt get that message a few weeks ago when I used Snow Leopard and now I can't approach the files I saved on the external disk.
    Question 1: How do I solve the problem? (Without going back to Snow Leopard)
    Q2: Why this parential supervision by Apple?

    USB is cranky, you're not the first (probably not the last) to have this happen.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT4101 Has anyone found a way to download pictures from Samsung Gala               xy 3 phone to Ipad air?  I bought the lightning adapter but keeps giving me the message uses too much power.

    Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power.  Any ideas?

    You can't directly from a Galaxy phone.  But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.
