Q: How to use the Camera kit with ipad, How to use the Camera kit with ipad

And what happens whe you try?

You can only copy photos and videos to the iPad's Photos app with the kit, you can't use it to copy them off the iPad (there are instructions on this page for how to copy photos from the iPad to your computer).

If you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer (i.e. the card hasn't come straight from your camera) 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

What is the source of the photos on the card? Is it as outlined by King_Penguin in the post above?

If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content. If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.

Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

Where are these photos from? For example, I can't use the CCK with the card in my phone because my phone names the images like this, 3948593b etc. The CCK will ONLY see photos that are in a DCIM folder and with a name of exactly 8 characters, like DSC_3843.
