Q: Cannot use device. The connected USB device requires too much power.

I am trying to connect the Nikon cool pix to my IPad 3rd gen through the iPad connection kit via USB. The title of this is the error I get on the iPad screen. Anyone else have this issue or know of a solution?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.2, Trying to connect Nikon cool pix

Thank you for the help! I am going to get one and give it a shot.

Did this fix also work with memory sticks for USB upoads? I want to transfer music and files from my computer to my GF's iPad.
