Q: Is there an adapter for my I- Pad that I can use with my XD card?
I want to download my pictures from my Olympus Stylus camera with an XD picture card. How do I do it?

It will Depend on the model of iPad you have.
The basic idea, is you get the Camera Connection Kit (for older iPads) or the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (newest iPads) and plug your camera into that. The iPad should then be able to, through the camera, read the XD card and transfer the pictures.

The iPad cannot provide a lot of power to the camera, so make sure the camera has a no charging transfer mode, or use a Powered USB hub between the camera and the adapter.
Alternatively you may be able to use a powered XD card reader and use that instead of the camera to read the card. It would be plugged into the same USB hub or adapter as the camera though.
