Lightning to SD card reader

Hi billski0868,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're using a Lightning to SD Card adapter from Apple and while you're able to use a standard SD card, if you try to use a Micro SD you're not seeing that the data is being read. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. I'd recommend starting with these steps:

"If you don’t see the import option

If you don't see the Import tab, follow these steps:

1. 1. Make sure that your digital camera is on and in the correct mode to export images.
   2. Disconnect the adapter, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect it.
   3. Unplug the digital camera or SD card, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect.
   4. Restart your iOS device and turn your camera off and back on.
   5. If one is available, test with a different digital camera or SD card. If you can import media with a different digital camera or SD card, there might be an issue with the data on the camera or SD card. Try to import the data to another device or computer, then use your digital camera to format—or reset—the SD card. Reformatting will erase all the images on the SD card. Check the manual for your digital camera for more help.

If you can’t import some content

Apple camera adapters can import multiple types of media files from your digital camera or SD card. If the format isn't compatible with iOS, you won’t be able to view them on your device, but can import them to your computer later.

Apple camera adapters can import only content that was captured by digital cameras. You might not be able to import content that was renamed, edited, or copied to the digital camera or SD card."
