HT4106 Lightning to USB adapter.

Lightning to USB adapter. When I plug into iPad mini with nothing attached to it I still get that error message it is drawing to much power. Why?

Yes it is the Apple lightning to USB adapter --formally the CCK adapter. I havnt used it in about a year and I took it out and tried using it again. The weird thing is I just plug in the adapter itself with nothing attached to the USB port and I get the power message. I have updated bot my iPads and iphone to the latest software. i just wonder if Apple forgot to allow this device to work or there is a mismatch of software on the device.
I Was using it with a usb dac for music and it was perfect last year.
i Also have the lightning to hdmi out and that works just fine on all my pads and phone And that to has been sitting for a while.

  • Will a YubiKey work with the Lightning to USB adapter?

    According to Yubico the YubiKey works with the old Camera Connection Kit but no word on the new Lightning to USB adapter.

    The adapters have no logic, it's the iPad that determines compatibility with devices. It it works, it works with one exception. Sometimes high-power draw devices must be connected to a powered hub to work.

  • HT4106 How much current the lightning/USB adapter can supply to an USB device

    I bought a caméra terminated with a USB cable.
    I want to connect that camera to my ipad mini using lightning to USB adapter
    sold by Apple.
    What is the maximum current supplied by the ipad mini through this adapter.?
    Tks
    Michel

    The lightning to USB camera adapter cable doesn't provide output power. It only transfers the pic files from the camera. The camera's battery provides the power to operate the camera during this operation.
    The lightning to USB cable is used to charge the iPad and the charger is rated at 10 or 12Watts of 5V power. So this cable carries 2+ Amps.
    Why are you concerned?

  • Is this a counterfeit USB adapter?

    Last week I bought an Apple lightning to USB adapter at a large Dutch webshop through one of their partners.
    When I saw the packaging I immediately found it suspicious, the cable was in cheap plastic and there were no references to Apple.
    The cable itself was also different from the one that came with my phone. It looks of very poor quality. See the picture below.
    I contacted the large webshop but they don't want to do anything with this.
    In short their answer was "send it back to our patner, and you will get your money back".
    Now I've read many reviews about that partner shop, and there are many more people that do not trust the Apple product from that shop.
    It looks like the seller says (upon inquiry) it is bulk purchasing.
    I already contacted Apple, but no response yet. So my question to you is, can you confirm:
    Is the right cable on the picture below indeed fake? Our does Apple sell these cables in such poor quality in bulk?
    Thank you.

    Thank you! Do you also know where I can find a complete list of authorized online resellers in the Netherlands? I only found this US list: http://salesresources.apple.com/sp/catalog/.
    For your information: a photo of the nice packaging with adhesive tapes
    The item was sold was sold for approximately 20 euros. The official price is around 30. In the Apple online store it is 26 euros with shipment.

  • Can I connect my lightning to USB to a travel adapter?

    I have a travel adapter model: TC28SA. I used it to charge older iPods with a 30-pin charger. Can I also use it with my lightning to USB?

    I do not know what adopter you are talking about. However, if the adopter has a standard USB port then that can be used to charge your iPod via the Lightning/USB plug.

  • Can you connect a usb SuperDrive if you use a lightning to usb camera adapter and a usb hub?

    No, drive consume too much power.
    Try using a wireless flash drive.

  • 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.

  • 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)?

  • Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader OR Lightning to USB Camera Adapter?

    I should buy one or the other for a Nikon D3100 since they are sold separately nowadays. Which is the best choice? Considering the (not so good) reviews for both of them, I have the impression that the USB camera adapter is more universal and less prone to problems...

    All my pro camera presently use Compact Flash cards. I've never had a problem using the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with any of my cameras.
    the choice you make should be based on what is most convenient for you. If you have multiple Cameras or have a camera with a card other than an SD then the choice is obvious.

  • 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?

    Hi Tom,
    Did jou also test this Adapter Cable? Is it possible this works different?
    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.
     Cheers, Tom
    Look at http://www.macworld.com/article/1168555/what_apples_new_lightning_connector_mean s_for_you.html
    It's not polarized. Yours must be defective.
