Make sure you connect your camera to the iPad before you turn on the iPad.

  • IPad Air - The connected device requires too much power.

    When connecting my iDJ Live II to my new iPad Air  I receive the following message:
    Cannot Use Device
    Numark iDJ Live II: The connected device requires too much power.
    The iPad Air is running iOS 7.0.4, I also have an iPhone 5S, iPad Mini and iPad 2 all running latest iOS 7.0.4 and this dj controller runs on all these models. I know about the 20mA output limit on these other devices but they all still work why not the iPad Air? What has changed?
    I am very disappointed with this restriction as the only reason I bought the iPad Air was for the better processing power and 128gb storage to fit all my music on there to use this dj controller with djay 2 and vjay. Now I have spent $900 on something I can not use as intended.
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try giving your iPad a reset. See if it can clear up the error or if it repeats. Hold down the sleep and home keys until it reboots then try again.
    How does this device plug in? Via the lightning connector or the USB part of the camera kit? If it's USB then sometimes a powered USB hub can help with the power issues.
    If it's lightning then the issue could be related to something that came with iOS7. Due to so many unauthorized lightning cables, iOS7 activated software that looks for a code broadcast by the chip in the lightning connector. Authorized manufacturers have codes that the software sees, unauthorized ones don't. Usually people using unauthorized cables get a specific message, however it could be possible that this new part of the software is affecting other things connected to the lightning port.
    Have you looked on djay's site to see if others are having issues or if they have fixes?

  • Cannot use device IOUSB Device:  The connected device requires too much power.

    Cannot use device
    IOUSB Device:  The connected device requires too much power.
    This is the message I get when connecting a camera on binoculars to ipad.  Is there a work around the camera will also load to a SD card

    There are a few options:
    1. If your camera supports it, you can try a low power mode, or picture transfer mode so it does not attempt to charge from the iPad. some cameras have this.
    2. You can add a powered USB hub between the iPad and the camera, so the camera uses the usb hub's power instead of trying to charge from the iPad.
    3. You can get the SD card reader and read the photos direcltly off of the card instead of through the camera.

  • IPad mini retina - The connected device requires too much power.

    Hi,
    I just bought the IDJ Live 2 Controller on 6 march 2014.
    when I connect the lightning cable to the ipad and idj live 2, it shows me an error.
    Unable to use the device: The connected device requires too much power.
    i use the original cable from numark idj, my configuration is:
    ipad mini retina ios 7.0.6 - idj live 2.
    I tried with iPhone 4, it works well. (same ios)
    I also have a sd card lighting adapter and it works on the iPad mini retina.
    Currently it is not possible to power the lightining cable..
    maybe in future, will Apple increase the output current through new ios?

    No, because the other end of the lighining cable has a mini usb (type b) connector.

  • HT4101 I can't use my lightning to USB camera adapter to connect my new Sony Cybershot DSC-W730 to my new ipad Air. It says the connected device needs too much power. Any ideas what to do?

    Has anyone a solution to my newly purchased lightning to USB camera adapter not connecting my Sony Cybershot DSC-W730 to my new ipad Air? It says the connected device requires too much power.

    Use the camera's SD card.

  • HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

    What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

    Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
    If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
    What are you trying to hook to your iPad?

    Some cameras are designed to use the power suppled via USB when they're plugged into another device, usually a PC or laptop. The iPad does not supply sufficient power for a camera. The iPad Camera kit allows for either a camera to be plugged in only for the transfer of photos, not as a power sourse, or the removal of the SD Card from a camera so it can transfer photos as an alternative.

  • 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 plug in my Olympus TG 820 to my iPad2 a message pops up warning me that the attached device uses too much power. Is there a way around this?

  • I want to download pictures from a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo to my iPad 4. There is no cord for the camera and the USB dongle requires too much power through the camera connector kit. Any good solutions?

    I want to download pictures to my iPad 4 from a memory stick pro duo. There are no cord connections for the camera and the USB dongle requires too much power through the camera connection kit. Any good solutions?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HT4101 It says it requires too much power when i connect my usb??

    It says it requires too much power when i connect my usb??

    Ok. Many USB's trigger the too much power warning. If you have a memory card, try doing it that way. Or you can experiment with other USB sticks. I've literally had a 50/50 success rate with the ones I've tried. You can try another one. Off brands seem to work better, along with smaller ones. The largest I've had work was a 4 gig. Kingston and Sandisk often trigger the too much power warning.
    Do you know the naming format to make it work? Have a folder named DCIM in the upper level and make sure that all the photos have a name of exactly 8 characters.

  • My iPad will accept downloaded images from my camera, but will not allow me to move the images to a thumb drive, with the message that those devices require too much power for the iPad.

    Using an older, second-issue iPad, I can download images into it from my camera. I cannot move them out of the iPad into a thumb drive. The message I receive is that the thumb drives require too much energy to make the transfer. What can I do?

    Thats how its designed. in order to export your images or videos, the best method might be by connecting the iPad to your computer, or directly to the thumb drive connected to your computer, not to the iPad. Then is as simple as drag and drop. The other method could be sending them by email or uploading via a cloud service but that will take more time do get it done.
    Hope this helps.
