My lightning card reader for the IPad 4 won't work?

I have the SD card reader for my iPad and it does not work. 
The photo app does not launch and even manually launching it does not work!  If I am in Settngs>General I can see that the reader is connected fine...
I have now tried formatting the card on two camera's now and I have tried 3 SD cards now, the main one I use is a class 10 16Gb one but the 4 and 8gb ones did not work either, despite me formatting and taking a few images.  Camera's I have tried are the Panasonic FZ100 and the Canon EOS 600D SLR but I can not get any image to import.
Does there need to be a certain amount of free space on your device for it to work? I have 64gb but only abut 400mb space free. 
I really don't want the hassle of driving to the apple store, it is connected so it does work in that sense, just does not offer to import anything, any ideas?
Thanks

UPDATE:
I have deleted 18GB of TV shows from my iPad and there is 19GB spare, I've restarted the iPad 3 times, closed all running apps etc and still no joy.  The card was formatted on the new camera and they use the DCIM and standard 8 character file format.  I've also tried an 8GB card and I have also tried it in my wife's brand new iPad mini which has about 6 apps on it and virtually none of the hard drive has been used yet and again that shows up in the about menu as it being connected but no images show up in the photo app.
Both memory cards work fine when I connect them to my MacBook Pro too
I don't know what else to do, I can't find much information about it
Thanks

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't work. Have tried both kinds of restore. First restoring from backup and second as a new device (twice). Still get the same "Accessory not supported" message. Thank goodness I can use the old 30 pin SD reader with the lightning adaptor for my up-coming trip. I tried it again and it worked again. BUT I hate having a piece of Apple equipment that doesn't work.

  • When I connect the USB dongle from the camera connection kit I get an accessory not supported by iPad message. The card reader triggered the same msg but works now. Same msg with vga. Have tried rebooting

    When I connect the USB dongle from the camera connection kit I get an accessory not supported by iPad message. The card reader triggered the same msg but works now. Same msg with vga. Others have posted this problem but the only suggestion anyone has offered is to reboot, which doesn't help. I've tried.

    Thanks Fred. The nearest Apple store is about two hours away, so we did the next best thing & took it to Best Buy. It stumped the "Apple Guy" there. Apparently when an Apple product is turned on it works. Period. I'm impressed that the products are normally so dependable--it just stinks that I got the one in a million that's not. Anyway, now we wait for a service call Tuesday morning. Thanks again!

    If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.

    The best that we can do here is suggest that you start with the iOS support document Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks and Connections.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • I just purchased a lightning sd card reader for my iPad, but it does not fit..it's for fourth gen...opps..I've now had to order the camera kit for third gen model...will I need both or do I return the first one

    Hi i just purchased an sd card reader but it's for fourth gen iPad...pops. I've now ordered the camera kit for the third gen ....do I need both somehow or do I just return the lightening ad reader I purchased first. I rang apple support and swear I was told keep both, but if the camera kit is all I need...I don't see the point in keeping the fourth gen one, since it won't fit? Confused...ita a fourteen day refund so I need to act fast...any help?

    There's no reaso to keep the Lightning version if your iPad can't support it. Unless you have some other devcie that can use it, like an iPad Mini or an iPhone 5.
    Otherwise return it.

  • What is the best cf card reader for ipad 3 available in uk

    what is the best compact flash reader for the ipad 3, available in the uk that works with ios6.  thks

    You asked about CF, which is Compact Flash (which is larger than and different from SD cards). CF is used typically in higher end digital cameras.
    Here is the CF reader I recommend:
    Hoodman USB 3.0 Raw Steel UDMA Card Reader for CompactFlash and SD Cards
    http://www.adorama.com/HNRAWUSB3.html?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=TransactionalEmai l&utm_campaign=2point0Product1
    (also available from other sellers, including Amazon and many camera stores simply stock it on their shelf)
    This product reads two kinds of cards -- CF and SD. It is very good at doing those two things (as opposed to cheap readers that read 20+ types of cards and are flimsy and don't work all that well and don't last).
    This Hoodman device is ruggedly built, largely metal, and has a special pin guard "drop door" that protects the numerous delicate pins in the reader from accidental damage, which is what often happens to these CF readers -- namely a few of the many delicate pins get bent unintentionally after a period of use. This has been the bane of CF and its readers, those many delicate pins. This Hoodman design directly addresses the issue and from the reviews I've read and my daughter's experience with it, they seem to have succeeded.
    It comes with USB 3.0, which is very fast (if you have the 3.0 port), and it works as USB 2.0 if you have the older interface. It reads the latest and fastest of the CF cards as well.

  • What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

    What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

    yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

  • Card reader for new Mac Pro?

    what is a good card reader for the new Mac pro?

    First this is the MacBook Pro forum, Notebook forum. Do you have a MacBool Pro Notebook or a Mac Pro Desktop?
    Anyway any card reader made by one of the major CF/SD/MicroSD memory card manufacturers will work. Connecting to your Mac computer by USB, Firewire (If your Mac puter has a Firewire port) or even Thunderbolt if there are any that connect that way. As for USB connection you won't see much difference between USB 2 or 3. The cards limit the transfer speed more than the connection type.

  • 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.

  • Could anyone recommend a reliable card reader for my MacBook Pro please?

    Hi,
    Looking for a reliable card reader for compact flash and SD cards for my MacBook Pro.  Would anyone be able to recommend one please?  Most reviews I've read only seem to mention Windows and I'm not sure whether they are Mac compatible.
    Many thanks, Karen

    Karen,
    Hi, what year is you macbook pro?  Is it the Early 2008 one with the grey keyboard, or the newer ones with black keys?  If you have the grey keyboard macbook pro I use the Sandisk card reader:
    For the newer MacBook Pro's a usb card reader works well in addition to the sd card reader built in the MacBook Pro.  They are making thunderbolt card readers now for a low price:http://computers.pricegrabber.com/flash-memory-readers-accessories/SmartDisk-THU NDERBOLT-SD-STICK-WRITER-USB/m16520521.html
