SD card iPad camera connector does not work

I have a new iPad camera connector kit. I inserted the camera connector and nothing happened. The instructions state that the photo app should open upon insertion of the SD card reader. With the reader inserted I inserted a Sandisk 16 GB SDHC card which is supposed to be compatible. When I put the SD card in the iPad gives me a USB Device not supported message.

I am not an expert on this, but I read in this forum that the sd card has to be formatted and have a directory similar to the camera data storage. Make sure your SD card was properly formatted.

Also, have you tried using the usb to camera part of the camera connection kit? does it work for you? Not that this affects the SD card part, but I am just curious.

Here's something weird: for some reason my card suddenly wasn't being read (after using it successfully many times before--though not for several months), but when I switched the little lever to the LOCKED position the iPad immediacy recognized it! I thought maybe I didn't understand which lever position was locked, but when I put the card back into the camera I got a message saying the SC card was locked.
