Is there a sd card reader for iPhone 4S?

Hello.
After failing to find any real answers at the many shops here in Japan. I ask you all the community here this question.
If the iPads can use a micro sd card reader then why can't the iPhone 4S use it? My wife has a PPC G4 PB that has her music that we have for our regular iPod nano we use. Now that we both got the 4S she of course wanted to put her music on to the new phone and get the pics off of her old cell and put them onto her new 4S. The one work around I found to do for the pics was drop box. It's a pain in the rear but it works. Just doesn't work for music. So since iTunes 4.2 and Mac OS 10.4 don't work for the 4S I've been thinking of biting the bullet and just buy a new Mac for my wife. Then I saw the camera kits. Some say 4S OK. But the kit has to be first connected to an iPad then have a usb cable connected to the 4S in order to swap pics. Why can't the kit just hook up to the 4S and then swap the pics to the sd card? Why does it need the iPad for it to do it? If Apple would had allowed 10.6 to use iCloud I could have used my MPB to upload the iTunes library of hers and then have her log in to her account on the 4S. So am I SOL on this?
If anybody has or knows of a sd card reader that the 4S can use or of a service that I could upload her library to and then have her put her songs directly on her 4S I am all ears here.
Many thanks in advance

OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

  • HT4528 Is there a sd card reader for iPhone 5

    Need to know if there's a sd card reader for iPhone 5

    Be very careful when considering bossodg's answer ...
    The compatibility list toward the bottom only indicates iPads, not iPhones.  Further, there is a question down toward the bottom specifically asking if the product works with the iPhone 4S.  The answer given is "no".

  • Why can't I use/build an SD card reader for iPhone?

    I have searched and searched for an SD card reader for iPhone. Apple offers the camera connection kit for iPad but for some reason they have made it incompatible with iPhone. This doesn't make a whole lot of since to me unless they are trying to drive users to buy an iPad. So far I have only found one SD card reader that claims to work on iPhone: http://www.zoommediaplus.com/index.html . If they have actually made it work with iPhone and the app is in the App Store then Apple must allow apps to transffer data from SD cards. If so I can make one myself and build the hardware to go with it since the Apple SD card reader doesn't work on iPhone.
    I guess my main questions are:
         Does Apple allow SD Card readers for iPhone?
         if not:    
              Why don't they?
              Can anyone tell me where it is documented that you can not use SD Cart readers with iPhone?
              How does ZoomMediaPlus get their app in the App Store if it isn't allowed?
         if they do:
              Why aren't their more SD Card readers for iPhone?
              Why doesn't Apple's lightning SD Card read work with iPhone?

    Of course they forbid it.  You realize that an iPhone 6+ owner cannot use the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader, don't you?  We know the support for their own SD Card Reader is built into iOS 8 because it works with iPads.  Therefore, Apple intentionally turned the support OFF for iPhones.
    and it appears no one else has bothered to attempt to produce one
    No, Apple forbids any third parties from producing one.  They produce them for iPads but they cannot work on iPhones, because Apple chooses not to permit such functionality (i.e., they forbid it).  Third parties produce such adapters for Android, so obviously they would want to do the same for iOS so they could sell more. 
    You're recommendation for AirStash is uninformed.  I've tried it and found it to be a clunky time-consuming workaround if all you want to do is import some photos from an SD card.  Using Photos in iOS to import photos is a far more elegant solution - an Apple solution that just works (if you purchased an iPad).
    If it bothers you that iPhones do not work with Apple's own Lightning SD Card Reader, then I suggest you leave feedback instead of attacking those who point it out:

  • Is There A Credit Card Reader For OS10?

    Hi,
    I just got a Q10 and I can't seem to find a credit card reader for the device.
    I've run searches on google and almost all of the readers that I've found listed either no longer support BB or they don't support OS10.
    Any help would be appreciated or I have to move to an iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for your response.
    I'm looking for a merchant service company that provides a credit card swiper for my recently purchased Q10.
    My present merchant service company no longer supports BB and google search only turned up one company that supports BB and that company has very bad reviews.
    Thank you again for your time.

    A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower.  its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

Many of us have moved from windows to the Apple products...BUT...the military is still stuck in the past and still using Windows and windows programs. PLEASE HELP.

  • I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty)

    I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty). Would it be able to be claimed at the iStudio in Thailand?

    There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone.  Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand.  If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.

  • SD Card Reader for IPod Touch

    Is anybody aware of the availability of an SD Card Reader for an iPod Touch?
    Thanks In Advance

    There would need to be a downloaded application from Apple's ApStore, which would link to a card reader that fits into the charging/sync port at the bottom of the Touch. So far, nothing like that's been developed that we're aware of, and we're not sure Apple would even allow it because it would be an insecure route to transfer data/programs into the Touch or iPhone. Everything (so far)has to be ported to the device through the ApStore.
    An SD card reader would be very useful for dongle-based applications or data readers, especially for PocketPC users.

  • Card Reader for iPad 2?

    Hi there,
    I'm a photographer that carries my iPad 2 16gb everywhere with me.
    So when I'm out and about I want to be able to transfer and look at my pictures on my iPad.
    I want to take some pictures and plug in a card reader to tranfer the photo's on to my iPad 2.
    I have a camera that takes a SD card and one that takes a Compact Flash. I can't find anywhere that does a card reader for Ipad that accepts both a SD card and Compact Flash?
    Anyone got one?
    Thanks
    Lauren

    There might be some third party CF readers but for your CF camera it may be easier to use the USB attachment. I have a CF reader that works, but it's a vivitar one that's not made anymore.

  • Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hi anyone.
    Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB.
    I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera.
    Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hello,
    If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

  • Will there be a update iso5 for iphone 3g?

    I am just wondering is there going to be iso5 for iphone 3g.?

    Yes, you can get ringtones.  The version of iOS has nothing to do with the ability to put ringtones on the device.
    The original iPhone and 3G cannot do "custom" text/SMS tones as that functionality requires iOS5.
