IPad Camera Connector

Has anyone tried using an iPad Camera Connector with an iPhone? If so does it work? In other words, is there a way to download photos from a camera or card to use the iPhone like a photo bank similar to how an iPad does?

Great idea. Alan Sampson is correct in that the iPad SD reader is technically not supported by the iPhone. However, using Zoomit was a really interesting approach that I never thought of.
So, I tried it and it does NOT work. Rats - terrific idea. Conclusion: You have to buy Zoomit's proprietary $60 SD reader to upload images to your iPhone.

I don't own the Zoomit SD reader, but it supposedly does exactly what you asked.

  • Apple iPad Camera Connector query

    for starters i have a Sony Digital Still Camera so the Apple card reader wont be any good for that.
    Although i do have a perfectly good USB Card reader that can cope with every memory card that was ever made, so copying from Sony Memory Card to SD card isnt a problem.
    However my question is this :- if i can put my photos for the iPad2 into my PC iTunes Program why do i need the Apple iPad Camera Connector ?.
    On the other hand, wouldn't it sometimes be easier/quicker to put MUSIC onto a SD Memory Card (instead of into iTunes), so why cant i transfer Music to the iPad2 using this Memory Card reader, or perhaps i can but it isnt documented ?.
    Does this Memory card reader fit onto iPad1 as well ?.
    i think i will have to give it a rest asking all these questions, and perhaps patiently wait until we actually have one of these iPad2 gadgets in our grubby little hands.

    Hey Tim
    Yep the cam connector is really only for transferring photos. To be honest I wouldn't spend money on this UNTIL you find a real need. If you are just a casual photographer then you will find it just as easy to store photos on your cameras storage card until you get back home, and then transfer them to your iPad via iTunes. Some more serious or professional photographers want to back up photos via iPad before they get home in case of loss etc. Or to display to clients.
    Don't worry about asking lots of questions - the better prepared you are the more you will enjoy your iPad, plus it adds to the excitement
    PS the kit does have a few extra uses that might just interest you if it's your thing

  • Used ipad camera connector to try and upload photos

  • Problems with iPad camera connector kit

    I used the camera connector kit yesterday with my sd card and it worked fine. I have tried to use it again today and it comes up with Contents not available, cannot read the connected storage media. Any suggestions as to how to get it to work?

    How are the photos getting onto the card, directly from the camera or are you copying them onto the card from your computer ? If you are copying them onto the card then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
    If the card has come straight from the camera then try a reset of the iPad and see if the photos are then recognised : 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.

  • IPad camera connector and Video cameras

    Anyone has connected a video camera to the iPad through the camera connector and transferred videos?
    Or transferred videos from a digital camera or on the SD card to the iPad?
    Just wondering if it can be done.

    I have done it successfully. However, for it to work the file format of the photos and videos have be supported by the iPad. Not all are. I have a Panasonic Video camera and video format is not supported so the I can't import it. It dose however import stills fine. ALso, the file structure in the camera has to have the photos and videos in a folder titled "DCIM". I have an old camera that does not transfer since its folder is named differently.

  • IPad Camera connector not recognizing anything...

    Hi,
    I have just got a second hand iPad (original). I have also got a knock-off usb connector off ebay.
    I want to be able to sync my Canon 40D with the iPad. This should be no problem google tells me. The iPad is running 4.3.2
    I plug in the connector & camera into the iPad, turn on the camera - nothing happens.
    I put the memory card into a usb memory card reader and connect it to the ipad - nothing happens.
    I plug my iPhone into the iPad - nothing happens.
    I plug a Apple USB keyboard into the iPad - nothing happens.
    Using the same connector I plug the USB keyboard into my iPhone - I get a warning that this accessory is not for the iPhone.
    I'm not really sure where to go from here, instinct is telling me that the knock-off usb connector from ebay is the weakest link here but as the iPhone threw a wobbly when I connected it I'm thinking maybe that's actually working and the problem is with the iPad...
    Can anyone please suggest any additional troubleshooting here?

    Dan-
    At least you are not getting the error message about the USB device drawing too much current!
    When you say nothing happens, are you running the Photos App on the iPad at the time?  I don't know if it is supposed to open automatically, but that is where imported Photos will go.  That is where I see thumbnails of photos on the camera's card, either connecting from the camera or using a USB card adapter.
    Are you sure there are pictures on the card in the camera? When I made comparisons between different cameras, the card might or might not show up when it had been reformatted.
    Did they get there by taking them with that camera?  I understand the Photos App requires images to be in a standard format, and inside the correct folder name on the camera card.  If you just copied random images to the card, they might not have the right file name format or be in the right place.
    What about trying it with a friend's iPad?  If that doesn't work, I would suspect the adapter wasn't good enough.  If it does, then your iPad may have a defective connection.

  • IPad camera connector kit error

    Hey everyone. I've got an RF presentation remote connected to my camera connection kit via USB. The device works flawlessly but after the iPad sits idle for about a minute I get an error message IOUSBDevice: The connected device is not supported. Is there any way to prevent this error message from popping up? Like I said the device works great. I just don't want the message to pop up. Thanks for any help.

    Probably not. It's not supported and is likely just a fluke that it works. That camera connection kit is just meant for cameras so anything else that works in there is a bonus.
    Is your connector a 30 pin or lightning connector? If lightning, iOS7 brought with it software that looks for signed chips in devices plugged into the device. All lightning cables have chips in them and if a manufacturer has paid for permission to make a cable, their chip broadcasts a recognized signal. If the company hasn't gotten permission then thier chip isn't signed and that message is one that pops up. Devices usually still work, there is just that message. (this whole signed chip thing stems from people using knock off chargers that malfunction and in at least one case, killed a person)

  • My Samsung Galaxy Camers SD Card just won't work on my iPad via the camera connector - please help!

    Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Camera and I try to connect my Micro SDHC card via the iPad camera connector kit.
    This has worked in the past with other memory cards but this is a new one and each time I go to the import option on my photos it says "No Photo"
    I use an adapter to connect the sd card as it's micro, I have tried my other adapter to connect the camera via the lead however the accessory is not supported due to the camera needing more power!
    I have read someone else's post and they suggested to reformat the card, I have used the disc utility to format it however it's saying its FAT32. I can't seem to format my card through my camera either?!
    I'm at a loss as to what I can do and my local Apple store have stopped giving appointments to the Genius Bar so hoping someone here might help me out  
    I want to use my camera at christmas but know the picture upload is going to be a nightmare!!!
    Thanks

    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.)

  • D800 file compatibility:  Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit?  I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

    Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit?  I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files. 
    I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
    I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
    Any advice appreciated?
    PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

    If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
    If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
    Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

  • IPad 2wifi, and camera connector kit problem

    My iPad camera connector kit is not importing all the photos onto my iPad, with some pics it's, placing an exclamation mark rather than a tick, why is this happening?

    I would suspect there is something going on with the SD card the iPad is not liking. Try to transfer all the photos to a computer which may be better at reading the card. Once you have verified all the photos are safely copied use your camera to format the card. This will wipe it completely and set it up again which can fix any formatting issue the card may have. If you see this issue again I would not trust it and get a new card.

  • Camera connector & Samsung TL220 ... not a good match

    So, I got my camera connection kit and only one half of it is useful. I have a Samsung TL220 and when I plug it into the camera connector the iPad says "Accessory unavailable. The attached accessory uses too much power." What?!
    Then I get "The attached volume could not be mounted." So, apparently, I can't use my Samsung directly with the iPad. I have to scoop out the microSD card and attach that way. No biggie there, but it sure would be nice to be able to directly mount the camera. Very annoyed by this.

    And more info on this power thing ... I looked closely at my USB cable for my camera. It has one of those parts along the cable that is like an additional piece where the cable runs through it. I am assuming this is some type of power element or power safety gadget of sorts. So perhaps that is the problem.
    Warning then, if you have a camera USB cable that is not a straight cable but has that additional piece on it, its likely too "powerful" to use as the USB plugin for the iPad camera connector. I'm just guessing here, but its the only thing that makes sense to me. And it's a shame. The Samsung has a specific connector on the camera so I can't use a replacement cable (standard USB).
    The "additional piece" on your USB cable is called a +ferrite bead+. It has nothing to do with power and its purpose is to eliminate RF interference generated by the cable. This is not your problem.
    Make sure the battery in your camera is fully charged before connecting to the iPad.

  • Connect USB CF Reader to iPad Camera Kit?

    Could someone give this a try and let us know how it works out? I shoot with a Canon DSLR, which is dreadfully slow to transfer when directly connected. Would love to just use a speedy card reader connected to the USB dongle instead.
    Any feedback is much appreciated!

    I can't say from personal experience, but I read on dpreview that some CF card readers work, and others don't. The card readers that don't work cause an "Insufficient power for device" warning or something to that effect.
    My guess is that probably older card readers would be more likely to draw less power and therefore more likely to work with the iPad camera connector kit.

  • HT4101 Camera connector kit not working with ipad3. Not at all able to see any photo . Have tried both the USB connector directly with camera and thru card reader. Tried by copying photos to DCIM folder also.

    Got a iPad camera connector kit. It is not working as expected. It is not able to read any photos. Both the USB connector and sd card reader arenot showing any photos on iPad. Tried copying all photos directly in DCIM folder. Still no result.
    Any other setting needs to be changed?

    Hey, thanks for your updates.
    The photos are 8 character long and extension is .jpg
    The file names are 8 characters long with 3 as alphapet followed by an "_" and then 4 numbers.
    Initially the photos were in a folder inside DCIM folder. I manually copied them to DCIM folder, still no result.
    Can you advice.

  • Ipad camera connnector kit

    I have recently purchased a canon powershot sx150 and the ipad camera connector kit. When I load my sd card into the connector my ipad will act as if it transferring pictures, but the photos are never fully downloaded. I was able to download a few pictures but not all. Help please.

    Try closing the Photos app completely and see if you can copy all the photos when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Photos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : 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.
