Hey there RaymondClaude,


We understand you're trying to connect your external hard drive to your iPad Air. We'd be happy to provide information to help you out.


You may need to try a different cable in order to get it to connect to your iPad. You do have the correct format for the device type, so it should work. A new cable may be necessary.
