IPod Camera Connector Speed

I bought the iPod Camera Connector for my Nikon D80 & it works like a charm.....but..... is very slow. It's a slick idea, but cumbersome
It took 40 minutes to download a 1GB card (Sandisk Ultra II) with 260 photos - I want to use the iPod as a backup for photo files while on vacation for 2 weeks.
Does anyone know if there is any way to speed this up?
Is it firmware with the iPod or firmware with the connector itself that controls the download? If so, how about an update APPLE!!! Are you listening??
Thanks!

i have a belkin and transfer NEF pics to my ipod. an estimate would be 10-15s per pic at 7-8mb each.
thought that was pretty slow.

  • How fast is the new iPod Camera Connector

    I'm wondering how fast the new $29 Apple iPod Camera Connector is for offloading images from a fast CF card using a fast USB 2.0 card reader? (The older Belkin system for the regular iPods was too slow, in my opinion, to be usable for high capacity memory cards with lots of images.)
    If this new option from apple is fast, I'm going to buy an iPod photo right away!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks!

    Any chance that you can test with a card reader to see if that works? That is, can you plug an external card reader into the camera connector, remove the card from your camera and plug it in to the card reader, and transfer to the iPod that way? (This would allow one to not burn their camera battery while downloading the images, or to swap out cards and continue taking photos while the first card was dumped to the iPod.)
    The Coolpix 3200 is apparently not USB 2 / high-speed compliant, so especially cool would be if you could test with a camera or card reader (if that works at all) that supported USB 2, and report on the speed.
    (Yeah, I know I'm asking for a lot. Just in case you're able to check this out.)
    While we're at it - any other comments, pro or con, about the camera connector or experience so far?
    Thanks!

  • IPod Camera Connector for the iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Camera Connector for a previous model of iPod. Now that I have an iPod Touch, when I try to use it I get an error message that states this device is not supported. Has iPod created a Camera Connector to upload pictures from a card larger than a 512mg card (ie a 2+ GB card or larger) that is supported by the iPod touch?
    Thanks,
    Denice

    I don't believe so, as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer).

  • IPod unmounts when downloading photos imported via iPod camera connector

    I've got a fifth generation (video) iPod. I recently purchased an iPod camera connector and used it on a recent trip. I took over 500.jpgs and transfered them successfully from my Nikon D200 camera to my iPod. Now I'm trying to download them into iPhoto. Upon connecting my iPod to my iMac iPhoto automatically asked if I wanted to download the 500+ photos and I said yes. It began the download and then stopped part way through "roll" #2 of the six rolls on the iPod. For some reason the iPod unmounted itself and the iPod icon dissapeared from my desktop. So I disconnected it and started over. This time the iPod unmounted literally seconds after appearing on the desktop.
    When I go into the iPod it appears as if all of my photos are there. My problem is that I'm not able to get them onto my iMac.
    One thought I had was to enable my iPod for use as a hard drive in order to simply drag and drop the photos but I'm somewhat affraid to do this. I don't want it to wipe out all of my photos. Also, I'm guessing it will just unmount itself again anyway.
    Any thoughts for me?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I have a Nikon D5100 and I typically shoot Raw + JPEG and I take pics in large size on my Nikon.  When I transfer using the SD card and camera connection kit, my pics are regular size.  I'm wondering if the fact they are RAW only is causing your issue.  Try traking some pics in full size using either RAW + JPEG or just JPEG and then transfer and see if the resolution is larger.

  • New Nano and iPod Camera Connector?

    I just bought the new iPod Nano (3rd generation) and the iPod Camera Connector.
    The iPod is not recognizing the camera connector. When I connect the camera connector to the iPod, I get this message: "Unsupported accessory is not supported".
    The genius Apple salesman assured me that it would work. Meanwhile, the camera connector works fine with my iPod Color 60GB model.
    Can anyone help me out? Has anyone tried this? I have a funny feeling, (even though the salesman assured me it would work.) that it is not compatible.
    Thanks!

    None of the new iPods (Classic, Touch, or 3rd gen Nano) support the camera connector. Based on the fact that other dock connecting accessories which worked with the older iPods don't work with the new ones, it's probably a hardware difference in the dock.
    Apple has not announced any new camera connector that will work with the new iPods. Sorry.

  • Calling all iPod Classic owner who wants to use iPod Camera Connector

    Dear All Honoured iPod Classic users a.k.a Photo Enthusiats,
    Good day. I have recently bought an iPod Classic and iPod Camera Connector. As many of us may be into photography. I believe you may agree with me, it is more expensive to buy CF Card especially when you travelling on holiday or assignment. Moreover 1x 8GB CF card is never enough.
    It is troublesome to bring your laptop together when you are travelling. So the best option to transfer all your photos from the camera is to use an iPod Classis and Camera Connector. This helps you to continue shooting without worrying running out of CF card for your next day shooting.
    Currently iPod Classic has firmware v1.0.3 but iPod Camera Connector only works for iPod v.1.1 and above. So, in conclusion ... i urge every member here to send in their feedback to Apple ... logon to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html , so that Apple will act on it sooner rather than we play wait and see game.
    So, logon today and send in your feedback. Who knows, tomorrow we will have the iPod Classic firmware updates that allow us to use iPod Camera Connector and this will solve our problem and save our money in CF card.
    Cheers! Happy New Year.

    Hi Josh,
    Interesting web site. I holiday in the UK (my passport ran out in '91 and I haven't felt the need to replace it yet) and off to Shropshire in September.
    Lovely, the UK is actually a surprisingly excellent place to retreat to, despite the occasional weather issues.

    Yes, if you have the money, the B&W is great, but as I said, it's only a speaker.

    All of the PURE products are excellent, good luck finding one to suit your needs!

  • Smartmedia 128 MB to iPod via iPod Camera Connector?

    I have a Smartmedia card reader by Sansdisk that works great on my Mac. I wondered if I could connect it direct to the Apple iPod Camera Connector and my 5G iPod to load photos? How much iPod battery would be drained for the full 128 MB transfer? Or should I use the cable from my Olympus C-700 to go to the Camera Connector? Trouble is I can't find the right power adapter for the C-700, so I'd be draining its batteries too. I thought maybe if I used the media reader I could save battery on my camera at least. Is it possible?

    Tried to connect Apple's own iPod Camera connector to the camera as well as to my Sans Disk card reader. Neither worked. So the question is answered in that it isn't possible presently to make it work.

  • Compatibility - Ipod Camera Connector & Sony Cybershot DSC - N2

    Hello,
    I need to know if somebody has tried the ipod camera connector with a Sony Cybershot DSC-N2.
    I have an Ipod Video 30Gb, and i want to backup my photos during my travel.
    Thanks a lot.

    I have an same problems for this matter. I just want to know if my camera is not under on supporting list. May I updated the "camera connector" driver from iPod homepage?

  • Canon EOS 300d with iPod Camera Connector

    Hey folks,
    I don't have a problem with this combination but just want to say, that it's working perfectly together! I've searched for a thread like this before but didn't found any, so I took my currage and bought the Camera Connector without being sure it will work with my Canon EOS 300d. Today I tested it and it works perfect from the first moment. Just plug into the iPod and the camera and it prompts directly the import screen on the iPod. Importing itself also works good, but due to the USB 1.1 port on the camera it's a little slow. There are time measurements on other threads dealing with the connector, but for me the time is secondary, aslong as I don't have to carry my PowerBook around to get the fotos from my camera. BTW: That's not faster!
    So for all of you out there using a Canon EOS 300d don't hesitate to get the Camera Connector - with the latest firm- and software on your devices there should be no problem!

    Is it possible to connect a Canon EOS 300D via iPod
    camera connector to a 5th generation iPod?
    The EOS 300D isn't listed in the compatibility list,
    but i'm sure the camera supports the protocols.
    Any experiences?
    Thanks, Krycek
    /edit: I recognized the thread before, but I like ro
    hear more experiences.
    i, use it and works but is very slow....

  • Problem with ipod camera connector

    i am trying to use the ipod camera connector. there are 3 recurring problems.
    sometimes, the ipod says that there is no picture in the connected camera. in the apple support website, it says that i have to reconnect the camera connector but that does not help.
    recently, altough all pictures are still on the ipod in the same files as before (i have checked by using the ipod as an external drive), the ipod said that all rolls were empty.
    finally, when going on the "photos" part of the ipod, it sometimes does not even show the "import" menu and therefore does not allow viewing the existing pictures altough they are on the ipod.
    any help welcome

    I have the same problem as you but after reading through all the posts I found this worked for me "Ipod reset (on hold, off of hold, press menu and centre buttons for 6 seconds) then after it has rebooted unplug then replug your camera connector (at this point it may well work but if you still get "Unsupported device" or no card inserted then power cycle your camera, a bit long winded but this is the only way I could get my Canon 20d to work!

  • IPod Camera Connector compatibility question

    Hello!
    Well, I'm thinking about buying the Camera connector for trips/etc when I don't have my Powerbook, but have my 30gig Video.
    I've looked at the iPod Camera connector compatibility site
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html
    and it doesn't list my camera - the Nikon Coolpix 5200. It lists the 3200, 4200, and S1, which is for the most part an updated 5200. The 4200 is exactly the same apart from the resolution - 4 megapixels.
    It notes that those are the ones that Apple has TESTED - not neccessarly the only ones that will work. My camera does have a Mass Storage AND a PTP mode - both supported by Apple.
    Just curious if anyone else has tried a 5200 with the connector - and if it worked fine? If not, is there a better connector?
    Also - apple mentions that media readers may or may not be supported. Any way to find out which? Is there a list like the one above?
    Thanks,
    Dan
    PS: wasn't there some way to do this with a 20gig Clickwheel? I know there's a photo import extra - although it may need a third party connector.

    If your camera supports PTP and/or Mass Storage, it should work...

    Also, you need an iPod photo/with color display or an iPod with video for use with the Camera Connector.

  • Ipod camera connector and compatability with card readers

    I have ipod classic video with ipod camera connector.  It will not recognise a card reader and unfortunately my camera won't connect to the USB cabel anymore.  How do I find out what card readers are compatible or is it the Sandisk Extreme III card?

  • Using iPod Camera Connector on the new iPod Classic

    Hi, I have successfully used the iPod Camera Connector on my old Classic iPod to back up my camera. Would like to move with the times and buy the new iPod Classic but don't want to loose the ability to back up - will the camera connector work with the new Classic please? (and has anybody done it?)

    Why can't this work with the classic?
    another thread states "as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer)."
    Well, my classic does support disk use so I would like the option to use this. Is it really that hard to have a software update to recognise a piece of software that has presumably been programmed before for previous models
