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.

  • TS1315 iPad camera connection kit says SD card needs to be formatted?

    iPad camera connection kit says I need to format the SD card for my iPad 2. How do I do this.

    Is it an SD, SDHC or SDXC card and what size.? The iPad won't read SDXC cards or cards over 32GB. The usual format is FAT32 (and not ExFAT). Use your camera to format, or your computer.

  • HT202037 Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit: Videos showing up green.

    I bought the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, the SD card one, and I can import pictures and videos to my Ipad and the pictures turn out just fine but some of the videos show up green and they won't play. I have the iPad mini and its on iOS 8.1.2 and the camera I am using is a Nikon 1 S1 model. Is there a way to get the videos to show up correctly and work?

    It is likely that the Nikon shoots in a video format that the iPad does not support.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • IPad camera connection kit is working on ios 6.1.3 or no?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to find an answer to this question
    Is iPad camera connection kit working on the new update iOS 6.1.3?
    I need to know this kinda urgent now, because my iPad has been acting really weird, but I hadn't update yet, because I'm scared my camera connection kit won't work anymore, and I need it alot because I work with cameras.
    Anyone who already update and the camera connection kit still working? Please
    I have an iPad 2 currently iOS 6
    Have a great day!

    Works on my iPad 2 also. I transfer pics/videos using an SDHC card and also using a USB flash drive.
    To use a flash drive, Plug the  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.)

  • 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.

  • Buying "apple iPad camera connection kit" HELP

    If I brought the "apple iPad camera connection kit" which includes (a SD card port and a USB port) . And I use it on my iPad 2 can I plug in a USB memory stick in the USB pot on one of the connections in the kit, and transfer images from my iPad to the memory stick?
    Please help me!!!!!!!!
    Many thanks :)

    No you can't.  The camera connection kit is a one way device, which will only let you download pictures from a memory card to your iPad.  You can not then upload them to a memory stick from iPad.

  • Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, can I use it with USB speakers?

    I have a speaker system which has a USB connection so can i use Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit to listen to the music from my iphone 4 on to the speakers..will the camera connection kit support it?

    The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting a camera or SD card to your iPad and downloading photos. It is not a general USB port addition to your iPad.

  • RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

    Hi all
    First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
    Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
    I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
    For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

    Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

  • Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit.  I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad.  So incredibly frustrating.  Apple please fix this.

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

  • 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.
