Can I use the Camera Connection Kit to transfer files from my Mob/PS3/iPod?

Can I use the Camera Connection Kit to transfer files from my mobile/iPod or Playstation 3 to iPad using a USB cable?

I have an *iPod nano 16GB 5g* & my mobile is a *Samsung G800* and *Playstation 3 80GB*.

_Thanks for reading_ 🙂

No. The CCK is only designed to allow you to import photos from a digital camera via USB or an SD card. You cannot import any data via this kit and no other files will work as it's designed for only the functionality it does. The kit looks for a folder with the label "DSC####### the same structure as most digital cameras, and will only function with JPG files.

The CCK will find/ask to download (if iPad supported formate )picture and video files if the device is formated in FAT 16 or 32 and the supported files are placed in a "DCIM" folder in the root directory. I have transfered such files from SD card and USB drives. However, not USB drive work. I had an old 2GB (very large) and when i connected it it said it drew too much power.

I also downloaded pictures and video files from a compact flash card and smart media card via a SanDisk USB card reader.

I have transferred videos and photos from iPod and iPhone to the iPad using the Camera connection kit... So the answer is yes... From the playstation, I have no idea, probably not.

Skip down to about 4:20 in the below video to see how to do this.

I believe if you want transfer from the iPad to those devices you just switch the connection and cable around.
