Photo transfer App doesn't appear when SD card inserted with camera connection kit to iPad 2

Photo transfer app doesn't appear when the SD card is connected to iPad 2 using the camera connection kit. I also tried connecting the camera directly to iPad using that adaptor as well as no app appears.

You should see something like this on your iPad screen

HT4101 Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

No, it only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app on the iPad, not from the iPad. You can copy photos that you've copied to the iPad via the kit to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transfert it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transferred it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD and then into my iPad2? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

If you are adding the photos yourself, then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. in the same format as if your digital camera had written them.

Transferring photos with camera connection kit

I have been told by 4 different apple employees that the camera connection kit allows me to put photos from my computer on an sd card and put on my ipad2. When i took it all in (iBook 4, Nikon 3100, card reader, 2 cards & iPad), the tech tried it, then tried it on is own computer to be sure the card worked. When he couldn't get it to work he said it wasn't the connector kit, it just doesn't do that. Anyone know a out this?

The underscore shouldn't make any difference, but you could try removing it. In the past I've copied jpeg photos to a card from my computer and copied them via the CCK to my iPad.
You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-trying : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photo app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another thing to try is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Otherwise there are iPad apps such as Simple Transfer (and its free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which allow you to transfer photos via your wifi network to/from the iPad. The photos will just go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album on the iPad, and until iOS 5 is release in the Autumn you won't be able to move them to other albums on the iPad.

I have an ipad that has photos on it, and am trying to get those photos to an SDHC card. I put the card in my camera connection kit device and went to the slideshow option and selected copy and nothing happened. Am I using the wrong method?

I am trying to get photos from a friends i pad to mine so that I can make a slide show for him. I tried using my i pad camera connection kit with a SDHC card in it and followed the instructions in the manual. I got to the part where it had me select COPY from the drop down menu. When I did that nothing happened. Can this be done at all?

only option is to download an app for bluetooth transfer which may be quite slow, checkout 'Bump' or search for photo transfer or similar.

Importing many (400+) photos with camera connection kit fails

Hi,
I'd like to hear if anyone came across this already:
When I try to import a lot of images ( most recent example is 445) photos from my Canon 5D through the camera connection kit + USB cable it fails.
The app starts up just fine and starts to read from the camera, icons appear (showing RAW+JPG yet no preview) but after a while the import window simply closes and no pictures have been imported.
Smaller numbers of pictures work just fine.
I had hoped for 4.2.1 to address this but no luck.
This limits the usability of the iPad as a viewing and backup device for my pictures quite a bit for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andi

Update:
It turned out that the cable was the problem. I had used a retractable cable which worked find for the preview but was obviously not up to the job when it came to the higher requirements of the full speed image download.
Using a standard USB cable works just fine.

IPad 4 with camera connection kit doesn't work with 64GB SDXC card on iOS 7.1.1

I have an iPad 4 and official Apple camera connection kit. Even though ios 7 was supposed to provide compatibility with SDXC cards there is obviously an issue. I'm using 64GB SDXC and 32GB SD cards - both Sandisck Extreme Pro with RAW Canon 5D Mark III files. The 32GB cards work fine - thumbnails appear quickly and pictures import fine. After inserting the 64GB cards thumbnail holders appear very slowly but the thumbnail images do not appear so I cannot import. I'm a pro photographer and I need this functionality so that I can show pictures to clients on location. Any ideas?

Are the photos on the 64GB card in RAW format? If so, this may apply.

HT4106 Cannot read the connected storage media error comes when I connect my SDHC card using apple camera connection kit

When I connect SDHC card using iPad camera connection kit I am getting error message 'cannot read the connected storage media'

I know you have to have your pictures in a folder called DCIM on the card.

I cannot download photos to mine IPad2 with Camera connection kit

I cannot download photos who are on a microSD card and who have been taken with mine android smartphone to the IPAD 2 with the Camera connection Kit. The IPad says there are no photo's on the card.

Are you using an adapter with the card ? Also what format are the photos on the card - the card needs to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. the same format as if a digital camera had written them to the card

Why, I can't transfer apps (games) that i've download from iTunes with my computer to my iPad?I already did before like authorization my computer, sync, backup files. But when I want to transfer apps, it's can't. Any clues?

I can't transfer apps ( games ) from my iTunes library with my PC computer to my iPad. I already authorized computer, sync, but it can't installed apps that I've dowload before with my computer from iTunes to my iPad. Why?

Hi all for those still poping over to this topic, here is one problem that has not highlighted in the forums.
if you have used different accounts to download different apps into your ipad/iphone you need to authorize the computer for both accounts.
eg. [email protected] downloaded 'angry birds' and [email protected] downloaded 'money converter' both accounts need to be authorized on the computer will you then be able to transfer all the apps.
this works if you also used more then 3 accounts to download apps to your ipad/iphone. if you can't remember which accounts downloaded then i can't really help you there haha.
hope this helps!

"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" box appears when printer cable inserted into USB connection.

When I plugged my printer cable into my MacBook today I received a message "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to Ignore or Eject. The printer worked fine yesterday but does not respond today. Additionally there is abox titled "All Messages" appearing on my screen which is producing new messages every minute or so the most common of which is disk1: I/O error and disk1:alignment error, SAM Multimedia: Read or Write failed.
I tried unsuccessfully yeseterday to install a scanner on this MacBook.Everything seemed to progress normally during the install but the Scanner did not show in my applications after my attempt to install.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

I uninstalled and reinstalled my printer and everything seems to work fine now.

RAW files with camera connection kit not appearing but take up space

I just tried transferring a GB of Canon CR2 RAW files to my iPad 3 (iOS 6.1.3) by connecting my Canon 5D MkII through USB and although I can see the files while connected, I get a red exclamation mark when it tries to import. The pictures don't show up in my Photos app Camera Roll but they seem to be taking up space when viewing Usage in Preferences. I tried to see if I could download the pics through Aperture on my iMac but it also does not see them. How do I free up that space and/or recognize the RAW files that seem to be imported to my iPad but don't show up?

I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.
By the way, I went into the local Apple Store and they couldn't get it to work without fully resetting the system either.
This level of reset will also upgrade your firmware if it's not the latest.

Cannot locate MP4's on ipad imovie but appear and play through the videos icon??? Camera Connection Kit

I loaded 25 - MP4's from iTunes onto my ipad, they appear and play when accessed through my VIDEOS icon but when I open imovie or splice they do not appear as an option to import?????? These are files I converted from mts files - note they do play on ipad, please help????

Johnathan, -- I wrote this below in bold then the discussions site went down for maintenance and then Menneisyys and Kiwiphone4 replied and I think they are confirming what I'm saying here (only a bit more technically correct).
Thanks for your comment – but my issue is not with pirated or other movie video from the www, rather (as Menneisyys points-out) with videos I take with my Nikon Coolshot camera. What has perplexed me is this:
I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3. NONE of the avi files transferred---
BUT:
…then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine!
Why on the same iPad with the same .avi video does it transfer via the CCK and play on the iPad, but not via an iTunes transfer.
PERHAPS THIS?!: The .avi movie NEVER MAKES IT into iTunes because iTunes cannot play an avi movie; therefore if it is not there, it can't be transferred. That must be it or something like that. (The avi movie I transfer from my Nikon is in iPhoto - and it plays in iPhoto - but since photo and video transfers to the iPad go via iTunes, and iTunes apparently can't bring-in avi, then it cannot act as the "bridge" in the way the CCK does.
Is that it?
Thanks everyone for any comments.
Best regards,
