Ipad error not enough power when i plug in a usb hub

whenever i plug in a usb stick i get an error power not enough

The iPad doesn't provide enough power in order for most USB sticks or card readers to work (the amount of power was reduced in iOS 4+), but you could try a powered reader. I don't know what you want to transfer off the stick, but the camera connection kit is only designed for transferring photos and videos - you can't transfer, for example, music or documents that way.

My ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink

my ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink, thank you

First, make sure that it's fully charged.
Then, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPad saying not enough memory when syncing photos from iPhoto

I have been trying to sync my iPad for the past two weeks. It is an iPad with Retina Display, 3rd Gen, 64gb. I finally gave up and just downloaded all of my apps and songs from icloud, but I want to be able to sync it to my computer. It keeps telling me that the iPad does not contain enought memory. I do not know how this is seeing as how it says that I have over 40 gb free. Today I was able to get it to sync, and then I realized I did not have my photos from iPhoto checked. I checked it to sync photos from iPhoto and only selected one album with 223 pictures in it. When I did that, it gave me the message that I could not sync it because I did not have enough memory. How could I not have enough memory when it says that I have 40gb of space free and I am only trying to sync 223 photos? Please help. I will try to update this post if anything improves.
I have already restored the iPad once, and that clearly did not do anything. haha.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Why will my ipad 2 not show up when I plug in

Cannot get my ipad to be recognised on itunes. what a waste of money

Have a look at your firewall, it's probably blocking the iPad. If you are using a third party firecwall, such as AVG 2012 or McAfee etc... go to their website and search their knowledgebase for iTunes issues and follow the directions given. If you are using Windows firewall, go to Microsoft.com and search the KB for iTunes issues and follow the instructions.

IPad 3 not visible to iTunes unless plugged in via USB...

I am not sure when it started but my iPad 3 does not show up in the devices section of
iTunes and wifi sync will not start when initiated from the iPad 3. It just keeps searching.
Wifi *is* on and working fine.
My iPhone 4s does not have this problem.
If I plug the USB cable into the iPad3 then the iPad 3 does show up in the devices
section of iTunes and will sync in either direction.
Does anyone have a clue to the nature of this problem?
Thanks

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?

When I plug in external hard drive to airport express it tells me not enough power for the usb port. I have the airport express plugged in to power

Airport express tells me not enough power to usb port for hard drive.
I do have power to Airport express plugged in.

The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive....only a printer.
If you need to connect a hard drive, you need an AirPort Extreme, not an AirPort Express.

This might help ya out -> iPad: Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices
If you encounter an issue trying to connect a digital camera through an unsupported USB device, try the following steps:
Disconnect the iPad Camera Connector from iPad.
Disconnect any USB device connected to the iPad Camera Connector.
Restart iPad.
Reconnect the iPad Camera Connector and then connect your digital camera directly to the iPad Camera Connector.
You may need to connect certain cameras, USB Audio, or MIDI devices to a powered USB hub for the iPad Camera Connector to detect them. Find more information on using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
Note: If you encounter an issue using a USB audio or MIDI device, contact the manufacturer to confirm that the device is compatible with the iPad Camera Connector.
What type of camera do you have connected to the adapter?

HT2693 I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my NEW MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support. When I plugged in my the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks

To to get new Photos to not open automatically when I plug in iphone/ipad

Hi,
Photos is probably better than iPhoto for personal images, BUT:
I need to make the new Photos app not open automatically every time I plug in an iPhone or iPad or camera into the computer.
I take a lot of photos for work and I import those through the Image Capture App which allows me to import photos into a specific set folder - not my photos folder.
Also, related, how do I make iTunes not automatically open when I plug in the iphone/ipad. I keep my music on one computer and not on my work computer, so it is annoying when I plug an iPhone or iPad into the work computer and it automatically opens iTunes.
Finally, what happened to the delete function on the Image Capture app? It was so easy - import a bunch of photos into a certain folder, then delete those photos off the device through Image Capture.
Apple, by forcing us to use your consumer products, you are making it so inconvenient for pros who want more control over our process and file structure!

In iPhoto>Preferences>General, set Image Capture as the default camera handler.

In iTunes (with the device pugged in) Preferences, disable the 'Open iTunes when device is plugged in' option.

It's still there (on my Mac)

We are just Apple users (like you), we did not do anything. (Including forcing you, nobody did that)

My ipad air is not turning on, when I plug it in it doesnt even show that is charging and I tried several chargers they all work fine, its just when off and pitch black help!!!

If the battery is very low, it can take 15 minutes or maybe even longer befor you will see any response at all on the screen. If you have let the iPad charge for what you think is a sufficient length of time and it still hasn't shown any signs of life, try a reset and see if that will force it to start up.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo apperas on the screen and then let go of the buttons. If that still doesn't work, try charging the device again overnight. If it's still dean in the morning, try restoring the device with iTunes.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If that doesn't work, make an appointment at an Apple Store and seek their guidance.

When I download an app I had to put in payment settings cause it was expiring,after that it was downloading but then said 'cannot download because your ipad does not enough space' but I actually have 3.3 gb while the game is 1.4 .pls tell what to do

When I download an app I had to put in payment settings cause it was expiring,after that i paid and it was downloading but then said 'cannot download because your ipad does not enough space' but I actually have 3.3 gb while the game is 1.4 . I tried rebooting and powering off but still it didnt work even when I clicked the app( which still hasn't downloaded yet). What do I do now?

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can I use the iPad power brick to plug a 'Y' USB cable from an external hard-drive to get enough USB power?

Hi,
I cannot power-on my iomega eGo using a regular USB cable and my iMac (2010 model). Since I have the wall USB brick charger of my iPad, I was mondering if I could plug a 'Y' USB cable in the following way:
- from the eGo, to the iMac and the last 'Y' connection to the brick to get the power.
Will this work?
Thanks

It sounds like you're going to end up squirting 2 amps of electricity into your iMac into a port which is supposed to supply power, not receive it. Very bad idea. Consider the word "fry".
From the specs for your drive: "Requires USB 3.0 port or ExpressCard™ or PCIe slot for best performance"
USB 3 ports supply nearly twice the power of USB 2 ports.
