Original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter gives warning

I have a 4th generation iPad with iOS 7.1 and the original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter bought online from the US Apple Store. Whenever I plug it in the iPad I get this warning: 'This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPad.' If I close the iPad cover and leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it and go to the Settings<General<About page the cck is listed. I tried the lightning usb adapter on an iPad with iOS 6 and it was immediately recognized. Is this a software problem or a faulty camera adapter?

The original Camera Connection Kit uses a 30-pin connector thile the iPad 4 has a lightning connector. You mention an adapter. Are you using an original Apple-branded adapter? I have seen other posts here that say it is likely this adapter that is causing the problem.
Using the Lightning connectors do no cause this problem.

  • Cheapo alternative to Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for audio interface?

    I am getting an audio interface (Steinberg UR44) which can be controlled with an iPad via the Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter and a standard USB printer cable (Type A male  to type B male), but I am too cheap to buy the ridiculously overpriced Apple adapter, so I am wondering if the following will work instead:
    iPad --> Apple lighting male to USB Type A male cable (the standard charging cable) --> USB Type A female to Type B male adapter --> Audio Interface
    Other adapters are available for USB Type A female to Type B micro or mini male, so the same kind of arrangement might work for cameras.
    The adapters are five bucks or less vs. thirty for the RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED (yes, I know, I already said that) Apple adapter.
    I am thinking this is a better way to go than a cheap unlicensed knockoff lightning adapter, because the critical part of the connection (the lightning plug and electronics) would still be made by Apple.
    Has anyone tried the above with either an audio interface or camera?

    Because it was designed for use with the iPad. Apple makes no claim that it will work with an iPhone.

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter.

    I recently purchased an IPAD MINI and a Lightning to USB Camera adapter.  I went to plug my Sony Cyber Shot digital camera into my Ipad Mini via the adapter and it says "USB DEVICE REQUIRES TOO MUCH POWER.  Yet, when I plugged in my big Nikon D5000 SLR camera, it works fine.  My problem is, we like to carry around the smaller Sony camera more often, and it wont work with the new adapter.  Any suggestions?

    Please try to disable USB charging (if available) on your Sony Cyber Shot or set USB connection type as  [PTP] (Picture Transfer Protocol) or Mass Storage Device.
    If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content. If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
    Good luck!

  • Can you connect a usb SuperDrive if you use a lightning to usb camera adapter and a usb hub?

    I was just wondering if ypu could connect a usb SuperDrive if you use the lightning to usb camera adapter, a usb hub, and then plug the SuperDrive into the hub. Will it work to play disks, or movies, or something?

    No, drive consume too much power.
    Try using a wireless flash drive.

  • What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

    Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
    Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
    When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

    Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
    Use Case 1:
    When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
    In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
    Use Case 2:
    A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
    In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
    It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
    a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
    b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
    If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

  • Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader OR Lightning to USB Camera Adapter?

    I should buy one or the other for a Nikon D3100 since they are sold separately nowadays. Which is the best choice? Considering the (not so good) reviews for both of them, I have the impression that the USB camera adapter is more universal and less prone to problems...

    All my pro camera presently use Compact Flash cards. I've never had a problem using the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with any of my cameras.
    the choice you make should be based on what is most convenient for you. If you have multiple Cameras or have a camera with a card other than an SD then the choice is obvious.

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter polarity sensitive?

    Lightning to USB camera adapter works with Nikon D90 camera well, only the lightning plug is polarity sensitive. If you turn around it doesn't work anymore. Is that normal or is my cable may be defective?

    Hi Tom,
    Did jou also test this Adapter Cable? Is it possible this works different?
    Thanks, Gerrit
    I only have the lightning cable on my iPhone and it works either way. My iPad 2 camera connection kit uses the prior 30-pin connector.

    Look at http://www.macworld.com/article/1168555/what_apples_new_lightning_connector_mean s_for_you.html
    It's not polarized. Yours must be defective.

  • Can i use the lightning to usb camera adapter for sony cybershotdsc-w380

    DDoes anyone know how to use a lightning to sub camera adapter for a Sony cyber shot doc-w830

    This discussion may help.
    It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
    Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
    Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

  • Which audio interfaces are compatible with a Lightning to USB Camera adapter???

    Would like to use my iPad Mini with Lightning Adapter in conjunction with an audio interface. What are the requirements for a device that would accept the adapter (what type of USB input/output). Thanks!

    It should work.
    Reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    And, just is case, did you remember to turn the camera on after it was connected to the iPad?

  • Cannot connect Nikon D700 with iPhone 5S via Lightning to USB Camera Adapter?

    The cable seems to work on my Ipad Mini 2 but i dont know why iPhone 5S does not support D700 so i cannot import pictures from D700 to my phone

    I had no idea that any iDevice could import directly from a digital camera. I would guess that you need an app for that. Some possibilities:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wireless-mobile-utility/id554157010?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/connect-to-s800c/id555268423?mt=8
    If you have an Eye-Fi SD card in your camera you can also use the Eye-Fi utility:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eye-fi/id306011124?mt=8
    All of these are wireless solutions. I did not find any for cable transfer.

  • Lightning to usb camera adapter saying attachment uses too much power

    Can anybody help me please as I brought this cable and I get a message saying accessory unavailable or attachment uses too much power . Thanks in advance

    If it's an Apple adapter, take it to an Apple store for replacement.
    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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
