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.

Error cannot use device the connected USB device requires too much power this error appeared when I added my camera

Thanking you

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 get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live were we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need.

I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

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?

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 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?

When I connect my camera to my iPad I get a requires too much power error message

I keep getting a "usb device requires too much power" error when I connect my external camera to my iPad.

Doing a search on here it looks like other people have the same problem with Sony cybershot cameras. If you have a card reader which doesn't draw too much power then you could try using that with the USB part of the kit.

What model iPad? I upgraded my mini and used the SD card lightning cable last night to transfer raw photo images without any problem.

"I am constantly getting a message which says Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled a number of times and re-booted but it only seems to last a short time. How do I fix it?

HI daddio,
Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

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.

HT4106 I got the USB camera adapter but when I connect it with my ipad mini and my Samsung camera pl120 it appears on my ipad that is too much power.....I don't know what to do????

I got the USB camera adapter for the ipad mini but when I connect it with my Samsung camera pl120, it appears that's too much power on my ipad mini..,,,so I don't know what to do??????

If you have the card reader part of the camera kit and your camera uses SD cards, try doing it that way. It is the least troublesome way.
BUt if that doesn't work, then it may be a setting on your camera. Your camera may be trying to pull power from the iPad for you to download, and the iPad won't put out that much, triggering the error. If you have a power supply for your camera you can try using that. If not, maybe something in here can help you

you might also check on Samsung's site. See if they have any advice specific to iPads that can help.

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.

HT4101 When connecting my camera to my IPad mini via lightniing to usb camera adapter,I get "The attached accessory uses too much power" .Any solutions?

When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

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.

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.

The corner of my screen is creased. It didn't affected the images, but is creased. Do I have to change all the screen? Is it too much expensive?

The corner of my screen is creased is not a big thing and it didn't affected the images, but is creased.
Do I have to change all the screen even if it doesn't affect the images on the mac?
Is it too much expensive?
Thank you!
