IPad Mini Camera cable won't work

Hello, I have an iPad Mini (lovvvve it!!!) and purchased the USB camera kit. This works perfectly with my Olympus Pen EPM1 so I know I am doing it right. I also have an ancient Olympus mju 410 which I use for underwater pics when snorkelling on hols! I have plugged the cable in and it just says "one moment" and nothing happens.
Does anyone know if this is because it is a bit old and the new fangled iPad is confusing it? The camera works fine when I plug it into a netbook to download photos.
Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Hey, I have an unopened iPad mini that I won at work and I'm wondering if there's an upgrade option where I can exchange this for an iPad mini with retina display? Thanks

    Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

  • The left side of my iPad mini's screen won't work.

    I was wondering if there were any other people that have had this problem as no topics came up under what I had typed.  The left hand side of my iPad mini will not respond to touch.  A hard reboot won't solve it and don't want to factory reset unless I have to.
    Any solutions?

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

    My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, 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 the on-screen 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 (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Ipad mini power cable

    When I plug my iPad Mini power cable into a USB hub, the hub gets a "power surge" and shuts down.  What can I do?

    The USB hub doesn't provide enough power to charge the iPad.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

    The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open!  I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open.  Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
    My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open.  I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
    I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
    bummer!

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

  • IPad mini camera pictures look like an xray

    Tried looking this up on google but all I get is links to how the iPad mini camera takes great pictures.

  • My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

    My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

    Hi,
    You can't.
    Messages - the replacement for iChat in Mountain Lion and beyond will  do Screen Sharing  but only to the accounts it did in iChat 5 and 6  (actually it includes iChat 4 as well)
    That is to say in earlier version of iChat you could login to AIM and Jabber servers as well as enabling the Bonjour option to chat on your LAN.
    All these will do Video and Audio only chats which in turn means they will Screen Share.
    At iChat 6 an Yahoo option was added but it can only Text chat (it can't even send Files or Pics)
    This means only the Internet able accounts that login in to AIM or to a Jabber server  can Video and therefore Screen Share.
    The iMessages account will Invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during text chat.  (I.e. it is not Video inside the app like the AIM or Jabber accounts can do)
    NOTE.
    AIM includes Apple Issued Apple ID as Valid AIM Screen Names.
    Google Mail ID s can be used and Google Talk IDs with Messages as they run a Jabber server.
    Facebook allow you to create a Chat ID (Facebook Chat ID) which is also a Jabber server.

  • Camera app and in-app camera options won't work

    I have an iPhone 4S that I got about a year ago. It's been working great until a few months ago. All in-app camera options and even my built-in camera app won't work. They crash before they open and before I can snap a pic. It's the same when I flick up the camera from the lock screen. It stays black and I'm not able to take a photo. How do I fix this?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Camera app won't work stuck on shutter

    iOS 5.0 i never did an Update or restore to the software
    iPhone 4S white
    16GB
    iOS 5.0
    Unlocked Version But now im using China Unicom Carrier
    Bought on January 2012

    I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
    I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
    I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
    Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
    Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • HT204390 Before the recent iOS 7 update I could get closed captioning on amazon prime movies, now it's not possible even the ones that have CC available ..  I've turned in on in setting on my iPad mini but it doesn't work. Netflix is no problem.

    Try this  - 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.) No data/files will be erased.

    Hi emancabanlit,
    For nay issues with the camera on your iPad, refer to the article below to sort it out. Start with force closing the app as well as restarting your device. If it is still having issues then you may want to take your iPad to an Apple Retail Store or and Authorized Service Provider.
