TS2634 IOS6 error message Accessory unavailable uses too much power

IOS6 has stopped me from using my apple access connector that loads photos direct from memory card. Error message ,uses to much power.  This worked fine on my iPad 2 until I upgraded, any suggestions how to fix this?

Hi Bobnewport1,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The best way to load GoPro videos is to remove the micro sd card from the GoPro and insert it into a Card Reader attached to your iPad Camera Connector.

  • HT4101 It says accessory will use too much power.......what do I do?

    I have bought the lightning to USB camera adapter for my new iPad but it is saying the accessory uses too much power? What do I do? Please help

    Is the adapter an Apple product or 3rd party?
    Try this first - 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.

  • Error message: "USB device drawing too much power"; Battery will no longer hold a charge. Help?

    A few months back a jump drive broke while inserted in my Macbook (the computer fell sideways and cracked the jump drive). That particular USB port no longer works and I keep receiving an error message that tells me a USB device is drawing too much power, even though nothing is plugged into either port.
    It wasn't a huge issue until my battery stopped holding a charge. The computer is usable while plugged in, but as soon as the cord is disconnected it will immediately shut down. I assume this has something to do with the faulty USB port.
    In addition, my CD drive will no longer burn CDs. It will read CDs and allow me to open content from them, but it will no longer burn content to a new disc.
    As soon as I am able I am taking the computer to the store to get checked out, but in the meantime I wanted to see if someone has experienced a similar problem and knows what needs to be replaced or repaired, and how much that might be.

    I guess I should say, abnormally warm. Does it feel like there's a small heater going in there?
    I don't think this is the kind of thing you want to undertake, not if you're asking about how to do it.   I don't know much about the insides of Macbooks other than the parts needing replacing are probably soldered to the rest of the computer.  It's really something you need an expert to investigate. 

  • Error msg 'attached accessory uses too much power' ??!

    WOW...HELP!!
    I get an error message:  'attached device uses too much power' virtually every time I attach ANYTHING.  Really?  Is this related to my distressingly sophisticated cyber-stalker- from- ****?  All I want to do is download some pics from my camera, for heaven's sake!  As a bonus, it would be cool if the apps I've purchased would actually function; scratch that - if they'd just show up in the apps list in my settings, even...that would be progress!
    I love Apple; my issues are NOT the result of the product, nor a lack of patience (and kindness) on Apple's part.  However, I refuse to accept 'statistically impossible error' as my lot in life...especially not as the result of some idiot stalker.
    BUT....
    I am woefully outclassed by this hacker jack***
    HELP!

    What are you trying to attach?

    If there are no user settings in the app, it will not show up in Settings since there is nothing you can set.

    I can no longer upload photos with the camera attachment. I am getting an error saying the device uses too much power. I have used the device before. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem?

    You don't actually say what the problem is, but maybe this can help:

  • Camera Connection Kit - Accessory uses too much power

    I am trying to import photos from my Kodak EasyShare M873 via the USB connector from the CCK. About a quarter of the way through the import, the iPad disconnects and states, "The attached accessory is using too much power". Is anyone else getting this. I suppose I could just remove the SD card from the camera everytime I want to import. But then what is the point of having the USB adaptor if the iPad can't handle connecting to a semi-low quality consumer camera?

    The USB cable is great if the battery is full and you don't have a ton of photos, or if the camera either has photos in its "built-in" memory or doesn't use SD.
    PERSONALLY I'm glad they included both, but plan to use only the SD adapter on trips.
    Doug
    PS: It might be interesting, though probably camera-specific, to compare transfers times both ways...

  • I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?

    I reconnected the original powered hub that I thought probably caused the problem and this time it shut down the whole computer. When I rebooted everything now works perfectly. The system reset. I tried another powered hub and it didn't have the same effect so the old one is heading for the bin and with fingers crossed all systems are now working perfectly. Trying to reset PRAM or reset the SMC didn't work but causing the same power issue did. Thanks for your input though. It did get me to think what was the original cause.

  • HT4101 When I connect using the USB version I get a message on the ipad saying "the attached accessory uses too much power. What can I do?

    When I connect using the USB option I get a screen on the ipad which says "Accessory Unavailable. The attached accessory uses too much power"
    What should I do please?

    I believe your camera uses a micro SD card. The CCK accepts the full size SD card. Do you have a SD card adapter to plug the micro into?

  • HT4106 the "Accessory unavailable the attached accessory uses too much power" any suggestions ? it is an Olympus FE camera

    Useing the camera connection with the USB cable the ipad says "Accessory unavailable the attached accessory uses too much power, the camera is an Olympus fe.

    It depends on the camera, but some have a special mode for offloading photos but not trying to charge the camera through the USB port. For others, you may have to pull out the SD card (if that's what it uses) and use the Lightning to SD card reader instead.
    Maybe if you told us what camera you are connecting, somebody here with the same model can give you more specific information.

  • Error message, device uses too much power

    I am attempting to transfer digital photos from a point and shoot type digital camera to my Ipad 2.  I am connected through an USB and the Apple connector kit.  I get an error message that says, "device uses too much power" and it will not transfer images.

    Does the camera use an SD card? Have you tried going that route?

  • Camera Connection Kit "Using Too Much Power" Error

    I'm trying to connect my iPhone 6 to my iPad Air 2 using the Apple USB Camera Connection Kit so I can transfer some video files.  I get an error that says "Accessory Unavailable - The Attached Accessory Uses Too Much Power".  Both devices are running the latest version of iOS.  I've tried hard reboots on both and no change.  This used to work fine with my iPad 2.  Is my camera connection kit defective?

    My camera just started doing this on my MBP too! I have no idea what to do

  • To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

    I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
    Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
    Regards

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • HT4101 Has anyone found a way to download pictures from Samsung Gala               xy 3 phone to Ipad air?  I bought the lightning adapter but keeps giving me the message uses too much power.

    Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power.  Any ideas?

    You can't directly from a Galaxy phone.  But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

  • Camera uses too much power error.

    I have the iPad connection kit but get error camera uses too much power. How do I resolve this?

    Some cameras do this & there's nothing you can do. Use the camera's SD card instead.
