Yes. The Camera reader is not compatible with iPhones.

  • Problem to import clips video with "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader", my mini ipad and my camcorder?

    I need import immediatly my clips video from my camcorder in my mini ipad with my SD card.
    Solution: I have to use "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader"
    Problem: When i insert my Sd card in the "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader", my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... And i'm sure the format of clips video is accepted by ipad (specs).
    I know why my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... Because the directory where my camcorder put the clips video on the SD card is not accepted by  "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader". After some research, this device accept only the video in "DCIM" directory.
    So my question: WHO KNOW WHICH CAMCORDER CAN BE ACCEPTED BY  "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" WITH CORRECT VIDEO FORMAT (SPECS) AND CORRECT WRITING DIRECTORY "DCIM"?
    Thanx for your help!!!!!

    Since the ipad is not a computer it cannot be expected to behave as such. The resources are limited  and so are the capabilities. Some things will work just fine but others will not. You have to be  willing to make some compromises and accept some of the limitations, otherwise you will end up being frustrated. Maybe another device will better suite your needs.

    E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll.  I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
    Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software.  The operating system was updated to what I have now.  I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.
    Discussion
    Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad.  I read prior to purchase what image files were supported.  I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
    I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
    A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.

    There's a step by step in the manual
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and  must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
    I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
    The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera.

  • I just purchased a lightning to sd card camera reader and when I connected to my iPad it said it wouldn't work, why?

    I just purchased a lightning to sd card camera reader and when I connected to my iPad it said it wouldn't work, why?

    What is the actual error message that you are getting, what typs of card is it, and how did the photos get onto the SD card ?
    The supported cards are, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101 :
    SDSC
    SDHC
    miniSD
    microSD
    MMC
    SDXC
    If you copied the photos onto the card yourself then the card needs to have a DCIM directory on the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.

  • IPhone 6 Plus and Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Missed Opportunity?

    Apple definitely missed an opportunity to tighten up the DSLR/GoPro photography/video workflow with the iPhone 6 Plus.  Currently the only way to transfer images from a DSLR or GoPro camera is through an extremely slow WiFi/Bluetooth transfer process.  This is fine for someone is moving 1 or 2 images.  But, for a batch of 50 to 100, this approach is way too time consuming.  Android devices are way ahead of Apple in this regard and I'm fighting the urge to break-away from the iPhone once again, for something that is very solvable.
    Enabling the the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to work with the new iPhone 6 Plus solves this workflow issue. 
    Why not enable it?

    I was gonna buy the 128GB iPhone 6+ until I read this. Now, nope. I may still have to get an iPhone because of the tons of apps I'm already invested in, but since the 6+ will be useless for photos, it'll be the midrange regular 6. Maybe.
    Meanwhile, I'd love to get an Android device in about the same size as the 6+, storage and screen-wise, but don't need the cell capability. At 128GB it would make a great photo vault and something I could do some metadata entry on. Any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • USing two different SIM cards (different operators) with Iphone 4

    What happens when I first sync my Iphone 4with Itunes?
    The reason I ask is that I plan to first use it with a Swisscom card and thereafter with an other operator (other SIM card too) in Asia.
    Anything I need to know or do differently? Any problem when I change the SIM card ?
    Thanks.
    English; Français oder Deutsch OK

    I am always switching SIM in my unlocked 3GS iPhone, mainly in Switzerland, other European and Asian locations. Never had any problems with email, SMS and calls. Admittedly, I only sync with the Swiss SIM card installed. Most of the carrier settings are loaded on the SIM (or captured automatically) once the SIM is activated in its home country. Good luck!

  • HT4106 I just bought the lightning to SD card camera reader and it worked with the photos but didn't find the videos  on the same SD card.

    The cable only imported the photos and doesn't read the videos. Am I not seeing something on my iPad mini?

    Do those videos follow the naming convention? To be seen all files must have the 8 character name, for example VID_4854.mp4
    If they don't follow the naming convention they won't be seen. They also need to be a format that the iPad will play.

  • HT2494 Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader.

    I attached the reader to the Mac Air and can find it in the finder location.  But when I go to open it there is nothing there. The SD card is in the reader.  My software is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5(11G63). One thing i read is that my software needs to be an earlier software.  But I don't want to change my software.  What can I do to get this to work?

    In the past I've managed to copy an MP4 film via an SD card with the camera connection kit on the first gen iPad and been able to play it, but a film bought from iTunes didn't play (you can't copy content to the Videos app via the kit) - I assume that the same thing applies to the iPad 4/Mini and the lightning to SD reader. Also the kit only recognises content that is in a particular format : the card has to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos/videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus file extension.

  • My Lightning to SD card camera reader can read photos from the SD card but won't import them to the iPad.  What can I do?

    Can someone please tell me why my SD card reader won't import pictures to my iPas?  Thank You!

    With the Photos app open, do the photo thumbnails show up on the iPad screen.
    Is the card an SD, SDHC or SDXC ans what size?

    How to transfer photos via Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to iPad.

  • HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

    Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
    The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

    If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

  • My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad.

    My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?

    Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
    You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.

  • Using the same Credit Card on two different iPhones

    Wanted to know if it's possible to use the same credit card on two different iPhones.
    There have been times that I wished I had a card that was in my wife's possession for certain "Points Purchases"
    It would be so handy to share a single card on two phones.  Has anyone done this?

    I appreciate your response but, the question was in relation to Apple Pay.  I thought that was the forum I posted in.
    So...let me try this again.  We have one Amex card but say I want to purchase something at Home Depot with it and she is out shopping at Nordstrom's.  Can my wife and I have the same card registered in Apple pay on each of our phones so that it's available for both of us to use?  Or are you only allowed to register a card once on one phone?  This has nothing to do with iTunes purchases or Apple ID's.   This is for for using Apple Pay out and about at different retailers.
