Q: Exclamation point in red when I try to import photos onto iPad from SD card

I get an exclamation point in a red circle when I try to import photos from my SD card using the CAmera Connector accessory. I have successfully used this method for over a year, but all of a sudden, I'm unable to import. I have installed iOS 6. Please help!

iPad 2, iOS 6

    Hi mpt95,

     

    I have the same problem with met 3rd gen iPad.

     

    I tested with 2 camera's and 2 different sd-card. Here are the results:

     

    Canon Ixus: SDHD class 4: Connection oke, Import just fine

    Canon Ixus: SDHD class 10: Connection oke, Import just fine

    Nikon D3500: : SDHD class 4: Connection oke, no import! Get the red Exclamation point

    Nikon D3500: : SDHD class 10: Connection oke, no import! Get the red Exclamation point

     

    Problem is not related to the SDcards, but the combination with the Nokon D3200.

     

    Read on the net that pictures should be in the DCIM folder, and should bet no longer then 8 Characters.

    I checkeg this, and it was correct. The red exclamation mark is a mystery and I cannot find the solution on the net. So far.

     

    What camera are you using?

    I use a Nikon D300s. I have had no problem with importing my RAW files using the USB camera connection kit in iOS5. It didn't matter that type SD card or if my files were landscape or portrait. Now nothing imports at all. Maybe an iOS6 problem? Maybe compatibility with Nikon? Maybe something Apple needs to fix??

    Hallo,

    i just found out, that the problem dissapeared after i had upgraded iPhoto on ipad.

    I use iPhoto 1.1 now. I also upgraded other apps, but I assume that iPhoto was the responsible one.

    So if somebody could try and report please.

     

    Before I had exactly the same problem, jpgs bigger as about 5000 pixels were not transferd from the camera connection kit, it ended with a red question mark.

     

    Regards

    ALl of a sudden I'm getting the big red question mark when I try to import my photos to ipad. It it because I'm using RAW format?
