I have an old IPAD, 3rd generation, Ver. 9.3.6 and the 30 pin USB camera connector.
I want to use a cord with USB plugs on both ends and plug one USB port on the 30 pin connector and plug the other end into a USB hub.
I want to charge the IPAD while using it and also add a mouse. Will the IPAD be able to read all of this and accomplish what I want to do?
Thanks!
iPad, iOS 9
I'm fairly certain that old of an iPad will not support a mouse unfortunately. You would need a newer device.

To my knowledge, the 30-pin Camera Connector is not designed to charge the iPad via USB. As such, if the iPad charges at all using this arrangement, it will be incredibly slow.
The iPad2 does not support a Mouse or external trackpad. Mouse support was introduced with iPadOS13 - which to which iPad2 cannot be upgraded; iPad2 is limited to iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi+Cellular).
Thank you. That's what I needed to know.
I wanted to delete this but don't know how. I guess I forgot to say that I also want to plug my midi keyboard into the IPAD. I want it to charge at the same time and just can't figure out how to accomplish that.
Would it at least charge? Thank you!
Thanks for chiming in LotusPilot! I appreciate your knowledge :)
