I bought a camera connection kit. First time it worked fine, using the USB connector, but now neither the USB or SD connector works. The iPad shows a connector is attached, but Photos doesn't open. Any ideas? thanks

If you have not done so, try exiting the Photo app (and maybe more apps if you have a lot open) from the Open Apps List and see if a discount/reconnect opens the app. If that does not work, try powering down the iPad and test. If it is still not working try a hard reset by pressing both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time until the Apple graphic appears, ignoring the Slide to Power Off button.

  • I bought a camera connection kit , while connecting my camera (Samsung ex1) , I got this message from my iPad "my attached accessories using too much power "

    I bought a camera connection kit but fail to connect to my iPad . My iPad prompt me that my attached device using too much power ! I got no problem using the SD connecting kit. My camera is Samsung EX1 , pls advise

    Do your cameras support Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and/or USB Mass Storage Device Protocol (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106), and if so do you need to change a camera menu setting in order to enable it ?

  • HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

    I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

    One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
    Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

  • Camera connection kit

    I bought a camera connection kit today.
    I attached it to my ipad and inserted my camera through usb cable.
    But it was nothing happened. Also SD card neither.
    There was no any error messege. I don't know why.
    What can I do?

    Is the connector fully inserted into the iPad's dock ? Also does your camera have a menu setting to enable PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol, I think) and/or Mass storage Device ?
    In terms of the SD card, did that come straight from the camera or have you added the photos to it yourself - if you've added them then the card needs to have a DCIM directory off its root with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - you won't lose any content , it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Is it possible to put films on an ipad using a camera connection kit?

    I have just bought a camera connection kit for my ipad 3 and a 16GB sd memory card. i was wondering, is it possible to add mp4 films (such as Transformers) onto the ipad using the camera connection kit from my sd card?

    You can. It's just not the easiest thing in the world to do.
    MP4 files play just fine. Handbrake is one very good video converter app.
    Make and have the file on your computer.
    Using the explorer on your computer, You make a folder on the SD card named DCIM
    You give the movie a 8 character name TRANSFOR.MP4 for example - has to be exactly 8 characters + extension
    You put that file into the DCIM folder using your computer
    Eject the card from your computer.
    You attach that card via the camera connection kit, to your iPad
    The photo app should pop up and you'll see either a poster frame or a black box representing your video
    You go through the import process and move that file to your iPad
    You finish the process, taking care not to delete the file off the card (the CCK always gives you the option of deleting the photos or movies you just imported)
    You open the photos app and tap on the movie, it'll open the video app and play the movie
    You finish the movie then have to delete it off your iPad.
    You will not see file names, so if you have multiple movies on  a card you likely can't tell one from the other.
    And you have to have room to import the file, you cannot watch it off the card.
    So it works, but isn't exactly seamless and easy, largely cause the preferred method is that you simply purchase and download the same movies from iTunes

  • IPad camera connection kit corrupts SD card.

    I received the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit as a gift for Christmas. Placing an SD card in the device and inserting it into the iPad, I am shortly presented the option of copying the images to the iPad. Worked fine EXCEPT that I told it to NOT erase the original images. This was apparently understood by the application. After it completed, I exited the applcation, wait a few seconds and then remove the adapter. I then put the SD card back into my camera and it now says the 'card is not formatted ... format yes or no'.  I deliberately selected to NOT delete the iamges as I wanted to save the EXIF information. Telling the camera to NOT accept the card, it promptly powers off. If I tell it to format the card, it is now totally blank.
    My doctor has to adhere to an oath that says essentially, 'Do No Harm'.  Apple, if you are reading this, please correst the software that copies the images from an SD card so it does NOT corrupt the card! While this is not a life threatening issue, it does irritate me in that I have lost a lot of information that was valuable to me.
    I am using an iPad 2 with the latest iteration of IOS (6.0.1) and the camera is an older model Toshiba model PDR-4300.
    I strongly request that Apple update the appropriate software to fix this issue. On the off chance that there is a setting somewhere that I missed, I'm posting this as a question.

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond.
    I've used the camera connection kit many times and never hd this problem. Nor have I ever seen this problem posted here before. It must have been something you did and not the iPad or its software.
    Send feedback to Apple.

  • Camera Connection kit stoped working after a few hours. Now won't comunicate with any device.

    I bought a Camera Connection Kit to connect to a camera and a MIDI keyboard. It worked for about 2 hours just fine. Let sit for 30 min. When I came back, nothing worked. Retured kit to store in exchange for new one. Same problem with new one. ipad shows kit connected but it will not recognize that a camera or a midi keyboard is connected. Ipad still synks with iTunes.

    I have the same problem, but instead of waiting a few hours for the problem to occur, it happens in a few minutes.
    My machine is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012):
    2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
    8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    I've just reinstalled Yosemite and the problem is still present. Someone have an idea of what is this problem? I use my notebook for work and I need it fixed ASAP!
    Next monday I will take it to an Apple Service and see what they can do.
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT4236 Have ipad2 & iPad camera connection kit - still doesn't download photos on SD card

    Plugged in SD card from camera to a newly purchased ipad2 via the new iPad camera connection kit and it will not download these photos. Tried the same on a friends ipad2 and it works fine. Do I need to download a new app or just update the photo booth that I already have?

    It doesn't go into photobooth. WHen you plug in the CCK and SD card it should open the photos app all on its own, open the card and then there'll be the select dialogue where you tap on the photos you want to import.
    Try resetting your iPad. Hold down the home and sleep keys, past when you see the red slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    Since it works on another ipad, you know there's photos on the card and they're formatted right, along with the CCK working, so the issue must be your iPad. Sometimes there's a glitch and resetting helps that.

  • Photo transfer App doesn't appear when SD card inserted with camera connection kit  to iPad 2

  • I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to view my photos from my SD card, not import them to the iPad.  Can this be done and how is it done?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them.  Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
    I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

  • My iPad doesn't recognise video files when I connect my sd card with the camera connection kit. It only recognises photos from the same card

    My iPad will only recognise photos when I connect an Sd card with the camera connection kit. It doesn't recognise video clips from the same card?!

    Most probably because your camera records videos into MTS files, which aren't cmpatible with iOS. Read http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/playing-back-1080p60i60p-non-mov-videos-right- your-camera for more info and the alternatives (preprocessing ("remuxing") on a desktop etc); don't forget to follow the iVI review link at the bottom if you have a Mac.

  • IPad Camera Connection Kit doesn't work

    Some time ago I ordered from the Apple Store an iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    This morning, when testing it, the following happens :
    - SD card reader : when testing the SD card reader with the card from our camera, the message below is displayed :
         "Contents not available
          Cannot read the connected storage media"
         Strange, as the camera has taken hundreds of pictures, and when checking the card on my MBA I can access the card's subfolders without any problem.
    - USB camera connector :This works well (with the same card as mentioned above plugged into the camera).
    Does anyone have experience with the SD card reader ?
    Thanks.
    Note : in the iPad Camera Connection Kit documentation, reference is made to the iPad user guide. However, that user guide, a circular reference is made to the connection kit documentation.

    Is the SD card one that was formatted by your camera? In order for the CCK to read the card, all the photos need to be in a directory name DCIM and they need to have 8-character file names. This is the way digital cameras generally format things. However, if you put the photos on the card yourself, you might have done it differently.
    I use the SD card reader quite a bit as it's easier for me than keeping track of yet another cable. Once or twice, my iPad didn't see it. A reset of the iPad fixed that. Press and hold the Home button and the power button until the silver apple appears.

  • Camera connection kit and photo stream

    As many people nowadays, I don't carry a digital camera with me all the time, and most of my casual photographs are taken with my cellphone, which happens to be an iphone 4.
    Since the introduction of photo stream, the process of organizing the digital photos taken with the phone, has ended being a hassle, since all photos automatically are imported to iphoto. But now, I would like to switch to another mobile platform, and obviously, I will be giving up this benefits.
    I do have a 3rd gen ipad (so I won't be missing iOS), and my question is if the camera connection kit can be use to accomplish what with the iphone is done automatically. I mean, can i do the following steps?
    1) Continue taking all the casual photographs with the new cellphone, regardless of it's mobile platform,
    2) Connect the phone to the ipad via the camera connection kit,
    3) Import to the ipad all the photographs taken,
    4) Photo stream with it's magic, will automatically import those photographs to iphoto,
    5) Continue (somehow) enjoying the benefits of automatical photo organization.
    I assume that the answer is affirmative, but I would like that someone that already has the camera connection kit help me, before i go out and make the purchase.
    Thanks!

    The CCK recognizes most cameras and card readers, but the only way to know if it will recognize a cellphone is to try it out.  It all depends on how a handshake (or whatever it's called nowadays) is negotiated.  I guess it would work most of the time, but it may vary depending on the model.

  • Camera connection kit import photo limit of 16GB fixed?

    Last fall there was a discussion of a limitation of 16GB on photos in the iPad.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12297747
    I haven't been able to find out whether this was resolved with an iOS 4.x update or the problem persists. This might not be a limitation of the camera connector kit itself, but rather the photos app, either for total number or data size of photos, but regardless this is critical for me.
    I was planning on a 64GB iPad 2 with the idea of being able to backup two cameras for at least 6 weeks of travel, which will easily go over the 16GB with raw imports and possibly with JPG imports as well.
    My alternative would be a MacBook Air, but that's at least an extra pound and obviously has a different usability and cost profile.

    I am also very interested in the answer to this question. Does the iPad 2 remove the iPad 1 photo limitations?
    I have a 64GB iPad 2 on order, but I want to know if I can use the camera connection kit to backup a 32GB SDHC card filled with jpeg images on it from a point and shoot camera. Will the software and hardware be able to handle moving around 40-50GB of images to the platform, browse them on the iPad, and then ultimately move them from the iPad to my primary machine back home? If it works - great! If it crashes and doesn't work due to the volume and size of photos (14 mega pixel), I would like to know now so I can figure out a work-around storage solution.
    Has anyone tried this with their iPad 2 yet??
    Thanks in advance!
