Using a new lightning to SD card reader - nothing happens

Just get nothing when I connect the SD card reader. Seems to be a common problem? No error message, no photos automatically come up. Latest iPad and reader purchased from an Apple store 2 weeks ago. Tried 2 different SD cards on 2 different iPads. Nothing.


Any ideas?

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

Definitely no problem with the cards. They are used on 2 different Nikon cameras. All standard stuff. Perfect photos which have been downloaded in the past from the camera to a laptop in the usual way. Took the cards out, inserted them to the reader, got nothing at all. Think I'll visit the store! Thanks for trying ... Unless anyone else out there has any other ideas?

Are the photo files .jpg or .raw?


Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

What size SD card? What type of SD card - SD, SDHC or SDXC?


Also try this - Plug the SD card into the slot before connecting the cable to the iPad.
