I bought the connection kit yesterday in the apple store. Put my card in the reader, no photos came up. I formatted the card and still nothing. I have tried an SD card and an SDHC card and neither works on my iPad 2. USB does not read anything either. I assume it's an issue with the iPad? Any ideas? Should be simple enough
Ipad-OTHER, iOS 5.1.1
How are the photos getting onto the cards, directly from the camera or from your computer ? If you are copying them onto the card then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
For photos

All photos are going straight onto memory card, I am not putting them on manually. I just took the card straight out of the camera and put it into the card reader?
Is the kit pushed firmly into the iPad's dock ?
Yes, couldn't push it in any further
There have been a few reports of defective CCKs. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a free replacement.
Cheers, Tom 😉
Do you have a computer to check that SD card on? The image need to be named:
JFU_0393.jpg
or whatever. Basically 8 characters plus the extension. For example, I can't use the CCK for images taken with my phone because it just gives each image numbers.
If you can check it and your camera isnt' naming the files right, then no CCK will work. But if your camera is naming the files right, then the device may be defective
