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.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • Workflow of ipad 1 with camera connection kit

    Hi, I am very new to ipad and wonder the following is possible:
    I know ipad can view photos in memory cards with camera connection kit (CCK), but can I view the photo and delete it straight away from my ipad without copying all the photos into my ipad? I shoot raw, will this make a difference?
    The answer will be very helpful as I am deciding whehter I should get a CCK.
    Thank You

    if shooting raw, 16G iPad wouldonly store 5xx photos if shooting in raw and leaving at least half of thecapacity for apps & videos... which is useful but not quite helpful, that'swhy I want it to work like a bigger screen instead of the 2.5".
    Besides, Idon't have that many backup at home and some are very obvious can be deletedthrough big screen (e.g. out of focus) but not the small one (the crappy screen in 40D will notlet you recognize any out of focus photo..)

  • Camera Connection Kit not working with Canon G12

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone can help me...
    I just purchased the iPad Camera Connection Kit and when I plugged both the SD card and USB connectors in with the appropriate divices connected, and turned on, neither worked. Absolutely nothing happens.
    My iPad picks up the CCK in the 'about' section in Settings but the Photo App did not load when the connectors where in. I am thinking it has something to do with my camera/SD card
    Information:
    iPad - Generation 1, Version 5.1.1, 16GB
    Camera - Canon G12 Power Shoot. It has Picture Transfer Protocol
    SD card - SanDisk SDHC card 4GB
    Also, the camera saves the photo files in the DCIM folder with 8 characters, e.g. IMG_1234
    Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
    Many thanks,
    CJ

    I cannot find these settings anywhere on my camera or in the manual.
    I had to do some searching on the internet just to find out it had picture transfer protocol. I am struggling to find answers about the G12's PTP or Mass Storage.
    Sorry...

  • Not able to upload .jpgs on a SD card to Ipad 3 with camera connection kit. What am I doing wrong?

    I downloaded .jpgs only from a video recorder on to a SD card.  Using the camera connection kit, the Ipad 3 is doesn't recognize any files in either Photos or iPhoto.  Currently do not have iTunes available to sync photos.  What do I need to do to get the iPad to recognize the jpegs on my SD card?

    Solved my problem.  Created a folder named:  "DCIM"  on the SD card.  Moved all the .jpg files to this folder.  Reconnected to the ipad with the camera connection kit, upload to ipad started outomatically in Photos app.

  • Camera connection kit not working with ipad2

    I have had no problems using my camera connection kit, and have downloaded plenty of pics and films, but it now seems that since I have updated to recent IOS it now no longer works and just comes up with the 'this accessory is not supported by ipad' message.
    Anyone got any ideas? I have tried several SD cards and several cameras, so it is a problem with the ipad itself by the looks of it. I have tried a soft reset, turned on/off etc.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I have a 5 in 1 (not Apple) connection kit and like most others was pulling what little hair I have out trying to use the SD card reader on my IPAD 3 (probably the same with the Ipad 2), it simply does not work since the recent software upgrades. However I have just discovered that my camera USB connection lead DOES work when connected to the USB socket of the 5 in 1 connector. You will need to move the little black switch on the connector to the USB position. Once connected it shows an import icon which then allows scroilling through every photo on the camera. I can now import selective or all photos and it saves spending out £25 plus on an 'official' connector. Hope this helps.

  • Camera Connect Kit not working with iOS 4.2 software update

    Since updating my iPad software to iOS 4.2 when I try to use my Camera Connect Kit I receive a message saying "Cannot Use Device: the connected USB deivce requires too much power"
    Can any body help me find a way to fix this problem, or even tell me how i can downgrade to the previous software on my iPad as I am sure this is what is causing the problem as my CCK worked fine before I upgraded.
    Thanks,
    Amber-Rose

    One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
    @ rotorcraft:
    It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
    You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

  • Camera Connection Kit Not Working with Canon Rebel

    Using the connection and the Canon Rebel SRLD, I was not able to transfer pictures to the iPad.
    I was able to transfer pictures using the memory card.
    Not able to transfer pictures from the 3G iPhone.
    Should I take the connection kit, the camera, and the iPad to an Apple store to see why it's not working, or does anyone have any solutions.
    Thanks,

    The cameras connection kit does not support the iPhone 3G.

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

  • 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.

  • Problem with camera connection kit and IOS 5

    Since I upgraded my IPAD 2 to IOS 5 camera connection kit is no longer working properly:
    - when importing from a given CF card for the first time camera connection kit it is working with my camera (Canon EOS 7D)
    - however, as soon as i take additional photos on a non-empty CF card, things start getting weird when importing:
       - duplicates are no longer reliably recognized (some of the photos imported before are indicated as duplicates others not), hence an incremental upload of photos is no longer viable
         - some RAW photos are corrupted during import (it shows an "RAW" icon in the photo app, but no preview and the photo cannot be enlarged)
    I never had such problems with IOS 4.x I'm really frustrated about IOS 5.0 since camera conenction kit and the ability to deal with RAW photos were my main reasons to buy an IPAD...
    Anybody experiencing  similiar problems? Any viable workarounds?
    Thanks

    Friend, you say "The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces)"  What if one has several hundred photos/files. Renameing them on my computer each 8 characters long adds an extension (1), (2), (3), and so on. For example, "JUNE2014(1).  The connection kit won't read the photos due to the extra (1).  How can I fix this without having to rename each of the hundreds of photos one by one?
    Thank you, Cisco.

  • Ipad camera connect kit not working

    When I attach my iPod camea connect kit (the Appel one, not 3rd party) to my iPad 3, I get the message that the accessory is not supported.  What gives?  I pop in an SD card and it doesn't read anything.  All I get is the not supported message a few times.

    I have the new iPad also, white 64GIG 4G and my camera connection kit is not working either. The same camera connection kit purchased at my local Apple store worked fine with my iPad 2. I've tried everything (e.g. power-off, reset, restore, putting photos on the card then connecting, and reformatting the card using disk utility) and it even shows the camera connection kit under "general" "about" it just doesnt work as far as being recognized in the photo app. I guess this is where AppleCare phone support comes in handy. I hope this gets fixed because I've been shooting a lot of video and creating some pretty good home movies with my kids using iMovie. I would really like to get these large files transferred onto my Mac. The SD card I'm using is a PNY Professional SDHC 4GIG Class 10 just to provide all the variables I'm working with. What am I missing?

  • Camera connection kit not working iOS 8.3 on iPad 2

    Our camera connection kit is not working with the recent iOS 8.3 update on our iPad 2s. It works fine on iOS 8.2, but once an iPad is updated to iOS 8.3, it no longer can import from that iPad 2. We use this for our HS Digital Journalism class (school news). We import video and photos taken on iPad 2s to an iPad Air through the camera connection kit + lightning adapter. It is not the switch on the adapter because it works fine on iOS 8.2. We cannot use AirDrop because it doesn't work on the iPad 2s.Currently we are just using DropBox, but would l

    I'm surprised this worked at all.  I gather the camera connection kit was intended as input only.

  • Problem with Camera Connection Kit

    I am experiencing a problem with my camera connection kit on my ipad2.  I have tried to use it today, after upgrading ios on ipad, but it does just not recognise the device any more. I have tried rebooting ipad ( twice), tried to use different sd cards, still no use. I have searched the forum for answers but apart from rebooting, ( which i've done) cannot find a fix..I dont seem to be 'Robinson Crusoe' with this problem either, judging by the forums etc..
    As I'm travelling overseas next month, i really will  need this feature on ipad, to download pics from camera. Can anyone help with this...

  • Camera connection kit not working. After upgrade?

    Camera connection kit used to work perfectly with Nikon D3100. After upgrade it will not work at all neither from the camera usb nor from de card. Help

    Try resetting the iPad. Press & hold the Home and Power buttons together for 10+ seconds , ignoring the red power-off slider until the Apple logo appears.
