USB camera adapter won't connect to iPad

When I try to connect my KODAK camera to my iPad using the lightning to USB cable, it says that my camera requires too much power so I can't load my pictures. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

Hi annie,
You need the Camera Connection Kit to download photos directly from your Camera to your iPad:

  • HT4106 I got the USB camera adapter but when I connect it with my ipad mini and my Samsung camera pl120 it appears on my ipad that is too much power.....I don't know what to do????

    I got the USB camera adapter for the ipad mini but when I connect it with my Samsung camera pl120, it appears that's too much power on my ipad mini..,,,so I don't know what to do??????

    If you have the card reader part of the camera kit and your camera uses SD cards, try doing it that way. It is the least troublesome way.
    BUt if that doesn't work, then it may be a setting on your camera. Your camera may be trying to pull power from the iPad for you to download, and the iPad won't put out that much, triggering the error. If you have a power supply for your camera you can try using that. If not, maybe something in here can help you

    you might also check on Samsung's site. See if they have any advice specific to iPads that can help.

  • HT4101 When connecting my camera to my IPad mini via lightniing to usb camera adapter,I get "The attached accessory uses too much power" .Any solutions?

    When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

    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.

  • Does anyone know yet if the new iPad will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter?

    Hi,
    I've ordered a new iPad 64Gb which will arrive early April. My hobby is making music, so does anyone know yet if the new iPad (3rd generation) will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter? I am hoping to use such a portable setup to record live performances of voice & acoustic instrument.
    Thank you,
    John.

    When in doubt, try it out. I bought the Apple camera connection kit & used it to connect my Blue Snowball usb mic to my new iPad 3rd generation. It works just fine. I made some test recordings in GarageBand on my iPad 3 using my Snowball mic. They sound great.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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!

  • 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.
     Cheers, Tom

    It's not polarized. Yours must be defective.

  • How to solve power error when using USB camera adapter in your camera

    Hello Everyone,
    First of all I wanna say reducing the output of the USB camera adapter from 100mA to 20mA just to save battery life is by far the most incredible adjustment in the history of @)#*$#%*($#!
    I know most of us bought the USB Camera adapter so we can use it as a USB adapter for the Camera (saves us from taking the memory card on and off the camera) but sadly the "Ginues Apple" reduced it to 20mA which decreases the range of cameras and flash drives that will work with it. I use Gopro Hero 3+ black and everytime I plug it with the adapter to my ipad I keep on seeing this @#@$#@ power error. I didn't want to waste the expensive adapter so I tried to look for a micro sd card reader but I don't think 20mA readers still exist.
    Now to solve this problem is very simple add a power source to help that 20mA up, most of the my friends bought a powered port hub but it's not my type because it's bulky, needs an outlet and not portable.
    So I found a better solution on how you can add a power source and still be portable, the answer is power bank or portable charger.
    Things you need:
    Camera
    USB camera adapter (Ginues Apple product)
    Power bank (I'm using 8,400 mAh)
    Dual USB Male to 5 Pin Mini USB Y Cable
    Ipad
    Procedure:
    Camera --- 5 Pin Mini USB ------------------ USB camera adapter ---------- Ipad
                                                   '---------- Power Bank
    Attach you camera to the 5 pin mini usb then the USB1 male to the female apple's USB camera adapter then to the Ipad. = this will show the power error.
    Then attach the USB2 to the power bank/portable charger to power it up.
    your welcome

  • Lightening to USB camera adapter error

    I just bought an iPad air along with the lightening to USB camera adapter. I use a sandisk card reader to upload my photos. When I plug in to the adapter, I receive an error message stating I don't have enough power for this device. I have 97% power so I don't think that's the issue. Any ideas how I can upload my photos?

    It's the port USB power, not your iPad battery power. Most card readers don't work, but there may be some that will. Another option is to get a powered USB hub and plug it into the iPad. Then plug your card reader into the hub.

  • TS4062 I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable.  If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer, it works perfectly.  I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Opt

    I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable.  If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly.  I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
    Options?

    Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
    I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
    If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?
