Camera Connection Kit

So I have tried to plus my Canon Xsi, Canon D10, and used the card reader to read several different types of SD cards, and keep coming up with "This accessory not supported by Ipad". I previously was able to download some pics onto the Ipad, just cant remember which card worked... are the list of available SD cards that limited? And do Card readers help with this? If so, which ones? Appreciate the help, thanks.

IPAD, iPhone OS 3.1.3

You have to make sure the CCK reader is well seated in the Ipad - if you have a case, that can require a little extra push

For the CCK to import photos and videos to the iPad, the SD card (and other devices too) must be: - --- formated in either FAT 16 or 32
- had a folder titled "DCIM" in the rood directory
- The photos and videos must be in a format supported by the iPad

From the error message you obtained I think either the card ins not formated in FAT 32 or 16 or there is not DCIM folder in the root director. If the card is formated in FAT 16 or 32 and has the DCIM folder but there are no videos or photos of the supported format n that folder you will get an error that says not photos or video

Thanks! I will try that out.. I do have the Apple Case so maybe getting it in is a bit tricky, sometimes Im not sure if it's all the way in or not

And, how do I go about formatting the cards?

If you format them on the camera, you should be OK.
