Q: When using lightning to SD reader w/ ipad mini get "This accessory is not supported" message. REbooting doesn't help. What next?
The lightning to SD reader doesn't work correctly. I get "This accessory is not supoted by ipad" message. If I use a lightning/30 pin adaptor and the old apple SD reader I can download photos from SD card to my ipad mini. I have read that re-booting my ipad will help, but it doesn't. I have also tried different SD cards.
Any advice isappreciated.
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.3

Talk to Apple about exchanging the reader. There is a chip in the Lightening connector that may be damaged and the two devices aren't properly negotiating the connection.
