Q: My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

That is because you are trying to draw too much power from the iPad. What are you connecting to?

If a camera, is the camera on and the battery fully charged?

What device are you trying to use with it?

The CCK works with iPhones and iPod touches. It appears it does not work with other phone, at least yours..

Yes, but cameras in general do not try to pull power from the iPad when you connect it, your HTC is doing so. Is there a way you can connect it to power while it is connected to the CCK.

The camera connection kit is designed to import photos/videos from a camera, a camera SD card, and a USB thumb drive.

Why do you need to connect the iPhone? If to transfer photos/videos, see below.

I got the same message. Using a Nikon camera. Turned on. Not liking this kit at all.

I have a Nikon d90 and I just take my sd card out and put it in the camera connector kit...I haven't had any problems like that. If I put my flash drive in the camera connector though it says it draws too much power.

I'm having same problems.   If I connect my blackberry it says it uses too much power.  If I take sd card out of phone and connect that way I get the same message.    The leaflet with the connector says go to Apple.com/support/iPad to find list of compatible cameras..........  I'm still trawling the site to find any such list!    Just need to know if it will work with a blackberry .....  If not I've got to take it back.    Have been advised by a friend to cut my losses get my money back and use Bump to transfer my pics.    I don't own a traditional camera because my phone has a great one.  Really don't want to have to carry a camera about with me!   They don't make it easy do they!
