IPad 3 ios 6.0.1 Causing camera kit issues

Hi there,
I would like to point out that earlier this month we got an update for the iPad 3 to iOS 6.0.1, which I promptly updated mine. Everything was working fine, until yesterday.
Yesterday I had clicked few snaps during the evening and wanted to edit the same on my iPad 3 and transfer the same via the apple SD Card reader camera kit which I have just recently bought a month back. When I connected the SD card reader to the iPad 3, guess what nothing showed up, usually the photo app comes up with the SD photographs.
Apparently the SD card was not recognized by iPad itself. I thought the SD card was faulty so I switched over to the USB connection kit and connected my Nikkon D3000 to the iPad 3 over the usb cable, and guess what, nothing happened here either.
This brought me to the point that, how can both of the connection kits won’t work at the same time, and then it struck me that I had recently done and iOS update to 6.0.1 and that could be one of the possibilities of it not working properly. Normal function of Apple is to kill the old version of the kits / connectors / docks when there is an update of the software, that’s what I have seen and suffered in the past with my docks.
Since my cousin also has an iPad camera kit but is using an iPad 2 with iOS 6.0.1, I used his kit on his iPad 2 and to my wonder the SD Card reader read my memory card and showed up all the photos on the photo app. So I then used his SD Card kit on my iPad 3, after 2 - 3 tries it worked. So at that point I imported all the pics I required.
Now I switched back to my SD CARD READER and tried it on my iPad 3, vola it worked, but it took it time to show up. With few more tries of removing and inserting the connector kit again to check, it worked every single time. I guess the kit I am using got hung or something and just required another one to clean / remove the hang/bug.
Now I wanted the usb connector to work as well, so I used a usb 2 gb Sandisk fat32 formatted stick and made a DCIM folder and added few files from my computer and tried it on, and this time the iPad 3 read the usb stick and showed me the few files on it.
After which I tried to connect the SD CARD reader again to check if it would work after the usb connection, it worked but was apparently showing me the usb stick files on the screen rather than the SD Card pics. On re inserting it, it came back to normal. Same thing happened when I tried the usb connection next time, it would show the SD Card files and not the USB files, but with reinserting it would solve the problem.
And this is the issue I am facing at present, if I use the SD CARD reader first and import my files, the next connection via USB or again SD CARD or via USB and camera cable, it will first show me the images of the previous connection and not the current ones. I have to reinsert it again to clear the old file cache and to show me the new current pics which I want to import fresh.
Soo could you please advice me on the follow:
Why did the connectors did not work at first on the iPad 3 ?
Could there be a bug in the iOS 6.0.1 for the iPad 3, as this problem is not seen on iPad 2?
Do advice.
Connector Details:
USB Connector Model No.: A1358
SD Connector Model No.: A1362
Bought in October 2012.

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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Camera kit not working

Hi all,
I just experienced a problem with my iPad 2.
I plugged the Camera Kit (SD plug) and inserted a SD Card inside in order to import pictures.
Nothing happened...
I tried to power off/on the iPad, and still no reaction.
I've tried several SD Cards without reaction.
I have even tried to use the USB Plug, and put some USB Memory Flash without any effect (but I never did this before).
There is absolutely no reaction whatever card I plug.
Still, if I plug the iPad to my laptop, it's ok (iTunes / Disk mode and so on).
But, the weird thing is that it worked in the past with the same SD Card : I tried to import pictures and had a "disk full error".
Of course, I deleted some files and now there is enough disk space to import a lot of pictures...
My battery shows 36%.
Do you have any clue ? I really wouldn't want to restore all settings.
Is there a minimal battery state to import pictures from a SD Card ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance !

Just a quick post to add that I fixed the issue.
I've powered up the iPad (up to 50%).
I've put back the adapter+SD Card and firmly inserted the adapter even moving it a little bit to ensure contact.
And the device worked back, and I could import the pictures from the card, as in the past.
I'm not sure that the contact was the issue, I'd rather think that the iPad needs a minimal power to load pictures from the card.
Wait & see, if I can find a "scientific" rule, I'll post it there.
Thanks for those who read this topic anyway.

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash. Tried importing photo from an iPhone 4/ Panasonic DMC-FX50 via USB and SD card but without success. However, importing video from a Flip Mino HD is ok. Can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong

Have you tried a reset by holding the power and home buttons for ten seconds until the apple appears?
Since it's multiple different import devices not working with the CCK, it appears to be on the iPad side...
If the reset doesn't help, try a restore from within iTunes on the computer.

Have an ipad 2 and have bought the camera connection kit to use with my flip ultra. However when try to connect ot says there is not enough power to support accessory. Can anyone help please

Have an ipad 2 and have bought the camera connection kit to use with my flip ultra. However when try to connect ot says there is not enough power to support accessory. Can anyone help please?

If you have ios 5.1.1 the output power is 100ma, on the iOS 5.0.1 the power output is 500ma! This may be the cause?

Camera kit iPad: what settings to use in HandBrake so video will play?

I'd like to put some video footage on an SD-card and view it on my iPad with the camera kit. Importing it into iTunes is a hassle.
My preference is to use HandBrake where I can select a default setting and 'go' - I not keen to experiment with audio settings, frame-rates, codec etc. Looking for something 'idiot proof'. Any suggestions .. please ?

Have you tried the default iPhone/iPod settings? It's been a while since I've used Handbrake but I believe it still has defaults for various iOS devices.
For what it's worth, you're probably going to find that transferring video by putting it on an SD card is a far bigger hassle than using iTunes. The directory on the card has to match what a camera would create. The video has to have a name that the CCK can use. I've forgotten the exact requirements for the name but it's something like 8 characters.
Best of luck.

HT201302 When I travel with my SLR I like to transfer all photos to the iPad so that they are more easily edited and viewed by others, using the camera kit. Occasionally I would like to export photos - I have not found a way to do this. Can you help?

I occasionally have the need to export photos from the iPad to an SD card (photos that were imported using the camera kit). This is useful for e.g. to print photos while travelling. So far I have not found this functionality anywhere, including in any apps available on iTunes. Can anyone help?

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

Ipad 2not responding to camera kit

Got the camera kit a few weeks back and only recently got the chance to use it but my Ipad2 does not respond when the usb adaptor is plugged in. I tried the same thing with my wifes Ipad and it works fine. I turned my Ipad off and restarted it and still getting the same problem. case is not the problem. any ideas?

Yes it does and I have tried the SD cards as well and i have the same problem. In both cases the USB and the SD card format is fat32 with folder DCIM and photos with 8.3 file name. As I said the USB work fine on my wifes ipad2 both failes on mind. The IOS version is the same 5.0.1

I saw a video of someone using a iPhone with a iPad camera kit usb connected to a Midi keyboard

Is it possible somehow to use an iPad camera kit usb with an iPhone ?. I saw someone using it in a video with a M-Audio keyboard with iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1

It is not supported, no. If someone has gotten it to work with specific equipment, great, but there is no gaurantee it will do so.

Camera Kit and MIDI for iPad 2

Hi,
I purchased the Akai LPD8 MIDI controller. I've seen YouTube videos showing people using the camera connection kit and MIDI controller with their iPad. However, I heard that Apple made the camera connection kit unusable for MIDI devices after an update.
I have the latest version of iOS. Will the camera connection kit still work with my iPad 2 and a MIDI controller?
If not, is there something that will work?
Thanks

Yes, you can "preview" Word documents in Mail or DropBox and then use the "Open in" command (upper right corner; box with arrow) to open in Pages to save or edit. Not all apps will be available to "Open in" but Pages has very good integration from Mail and from DropBox. (Whereas I can't open a Word document from DropBox in Writings but I could, of course, copy the text of the Word document in DropBox and then create a document with that text in Writings.)
The focus on apps necessary in the iPad IOS can be frustrating at first, but my advice is just to get a few apps and start working. Then you can tune your approach to what works best for you. I'd invest in Pages and also get the free DropBox app and play around. The reason most of what I do revolves around DropBox is because that provides constant syncing of documents in my DropBox folder between my iPad and my MacBook Pro.
I also read, and annotate, a lot of PDFs (again storing and syncing via a folder in DropBox) and there are lots of PDF readers out there, including the built in iBooks. I prefer PDF Expert because of its clean interface and robust annotation features, but GoodReader also has lots of fans.
In the 3+ months I've had my iPad, I've gone from being joined at the hip to my MacBook Pro to doing a large portion of my work on my iPad.
If you do plan on writing more than a short comment or email on your iPad, I'd also invest in an Apple Wireless keyboard. It's lightweight and portable and will increase your productivity.

I just purchased a lightning sd card reader for my iPad, but it does not fit..it's for fourth gen...opps..I've now had to order the camera kit for third gen model...will I need both or do I return the first one

Hi i just purchased an sd card reader but it's for fourth gen iPad...pops. I've now ordered the camera kit for the third gen ....do I need both somehow or do I just return the lightening ad reader I purchased first. I rang apple support and swear I was told keep both, but if the camera kit is all I need...I don't see the point in keeping the fourth gen one, since it won't fit? Confused...ita a fourteen day refund so I need to act fast...any help?

There's no reaso to keep the Lightning version if your iPad can't support it. Unless you have some other devcie that can use it, like an iPad Mini or an iPhone 5.
Otherwise return it.

Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
@ rotorcraft:
It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

Transfer HD video from canon dslr to iPad 2 via cam kit Question!

Hey all.
I have a Canon DSLR that records 1080p HD video at 24, 25 & 30 fps and 720p HD video at 50 & 60 fps.
I have an iPad first generation with a ipad cam kit for transferring video and photos. It transfers photos just fine, but with video, it can't transfer full 1080p clips at all directly from the camera using the USB cam kit connector or via SD card using that adaptor. Nor will it transfer 720p clips using the cam kit unless the clips are not more than 30 fps. Since the canon t3i dslr shoots 720p video at 60 fps, the video is not viewable unless I first transfer it thru my iMac at home and THEN load it on the iPad.
Since I travel a lot, this is not convenient for me.
I want to be able to transfer my HD movies directly onto my iPad while on the road and edit them and then upload them to my travel blog or YouTube.
The first gen iPad cannot run the new iMovie app. Only the new iPad 2 can. So I was thinking of upgrading to the iPad 2.....
HOWEVER...I want to know if I will have the same problem trying to transfer my HD video directly from my canon t3i DSLR via the cam kit while on the road so that I can view and edit the clips on my iPad 2?
I know getting the MacBook air is an option, but I prefer traveling with the iPad. I just want to know if any video/photographers who have the new iPad 2 and canon dslr can answer my questions.
Thanks so much.
Cheers.

Yes, they will transfer as long as they are in 720p. However, you might want to check this if you are willing to try. Might save you from having to buy a new iPad?

I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive 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.)

Download the pics/videos to your computer. Then transfer to the iPad. Here's one way.

Connecting my ipad mini to my camera using the USB camera kit error message 'device is to powerful' keeps popping up.

I am trying to connect my iPad mini to my Samsung camera using the USB camera kit, I keep getting the error message ' device to powerful'. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need to take it back?? The shop assistant in Currys assured me it should work and it wasn't cheap at £25 for a tiny wire! I have read other posts concerning this but they are dated quite a while ago so just wondered what the newest advice was concerning this. Thanks

The camera is drawing too much power for your iPad. This can happen on cameras which charge their batteries using the USB connection. Make sure that you have the camera set to the correct settings for picture transfer - check the documentation that came with the camera.
Note that you can return the USB kit and get the SD card adaptor or get a powered USB hub if you can't get the camera to work any other way.
