We are trying to transfer photos from our iphone 13 pro to our Sandisk SSD. We are using the Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter and we still receive “this accessory requires too much power. How can we transfer our pictures?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hey JM7575,
If the error is still occurring after taking those steps, then make sure your iPhone is up to date:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restart your devices and then test again:
Let us know if this helps. Regards.
Thank you @barberlives123 for the response. I am already using the lightning cable plugged into a 30W power adapter plugged into the wall outlet when I receive the error. I need another power source on top of the power coming from the wall outlet?
