I still can't see the import tab under photos, it does not show, where do I find it. Even if I unplug the SD card reader and plug in again, it does not show any way to import pictures to my Ipad
iPad, iPadOS 14
Tell me more about the SD card you are using. What is the memory capacity? What is the speed rating of the card? This connector only supports the UHS-I speed class and not any higher speed. Look for a U with the number 1 inside of it on the card. If it’s a UHS-II or UHS-III card, that’s the problem. If the iPad can successfully read the SD card, then the Import tab automatically appears. Also, what iPad do you have and what version of iPadOS is installed?
Try these steps.
Did that help?

I may think of something else later.

aarh, the SD card is an high speed card for a big Canon camera, so that is maybe the problem. I'll buy a new card with the specification you mentioned.
The SD card works fine, as I transferred all pictures from my laptop to the card. (all pictures were imported onto my laptop from a old Samsung phone, and they all show nicely on my laptop)
So I think it is because of the higher speed on the SD card.
Thank you very much!

I put all photos on an SD card, and bought an apple SD card reader plugged in with the lightning socket. So I assumed that the IPad would see the photos, but I cannot under photos find any import possibilities at all.
Thank you for answering!

It is a 32 GB SDHC card, is there a limit of what the card reader can take?
If I'm understanding your question, the limit is the 32GB. It's really hard to say how many photos it might hold, because that is affected by the resolution of each photo. Higher resolution means larger file size, so fewer photos will take up more space faster. I never asked previously if you have a computer that will read an SD card? It would be really easy to upload the photos from the card onto a computer, even if it's a laptop, then transfer the photos to your iPad from the computer.
How are you connecting a card reader to an iPad? Or, is the card reader plugged in to your computer and you're trying to use your computer to transfer the photos to your iPad?
You're welcome. Come back and reply again if you use a UHS-I card and still have trouble.
