IPad camera connection kit compatibility with SD cards

Hi there,
I am really hoping that someone can help me out, I am going mad!
I am gong on holiday for 5 weeks and want to be able to get photos from my camera to iPad while away.
So I bought the Apple iPad camera connection kit. There was nothing that mentioned that it is not compatible with certain SD cards, so it seemed ideal.
I don't have a fancy camera, just a simple Sony Cybeshot, the card I have is 'SanDisk memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate'. The card is slightly smaller than the slot on the apple card reader but seems to fit into it fairly well. However, when I plug it in nothing happens, not even an error message- this lead me to believe that it was a fault with the equipment...or am I wrong- could it be that the card is not compatible??
I have tried everything, changing the format on the card via the camera, taking cover off iPad to ensure connection is solid and turning iPad on and off again.
The other thing is that my camera does not seem to have anything to attach a USB cable to.
PLEASE help me, before iPad AND connector go out of the window!!
Spec-
iPad 2 64 GB
SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB magicGate
Camera Sony Cybershot
Version 4.3.5 (8L1)
Thank you

An SD card is a Secure Digital type memory card.  SD stands for Secure Digital, not Sandisk. A memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate
is a Memory Stick Pro duo type of card.
They are different types of cards. the Camera connection kits only works with the Secure Digital type.

  • Ipad Camera connection kit problem with SD card

    I have a gen3 ipad and have the camera connection kit which consists of 2 connectors. 1 is usb and the other is SD card. The usb when hooked to camera works just fine but the SD adater does not see any sd card I put in.

    The SD reader will only see photos on the card if they are formatted in a specific manner. A top level folder named DCIM and all files need to have a 8 character name.
    Have you tried to take photos on the card then try to read them with the CCK?

  • Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit compatibility

    I was wondering, will the iPad 2 recognize the iPhone 5s when using Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit? I saw that there are two connectors that come with the kit. If i use the connector that has the camera emblem and plug  it to connect my 5s, will it recognize it as a camera? I talked to Apple chat and they were no help as they suggested me to message myself the videos. We all know that messaging decompressed files and whatnot. Anyone has experience on this? I just want an easy way transferring pictures and videos taken with the iPhone to my iPad without using a computer or laptop.

    Yes, if you plug the CCK into your iPad 2 and plug the USB cable to your iPhone 5s and into the CCK your iPad 2 should see the photos in the Camera Roll on your iPhone. The iPhone, in this case, looks like a camera to the iPad 2.

  • I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens.  My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb.  I don't think I am doing anything incorrect.  Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

    The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
    Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.
