Q: SD card reader wont connect.

I have a genuine Apple SD card reader.  It will connect with one of our iPads but not with the other.  as far as I can see both are running the same software version and are set up the same.  Any ideas have tried everything. 

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.4

    Restart the device that it does not work with.

     

    Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Power buttons until you see the apple logo. This can take 10-15 seconds and do't release the buttons until then. Try again and see if the Camera Connection Kit works.

    Well it seems that the Camera Connection Kit is working ok if it is fine with your other iPad. Have you tried carefully cleaning the port on the non-working iPad. Sometimes things can get gunked up and propper connections are not made.

     

    And that give me reason to ask this... Do both ipads have the 30-pin connector? Or does one have a lightning connector and you are using an adapter?

    Both IPads have the 30 pin connection. Have tried two different SD card readers but still doesn't work on one of the iPads. Will try and clean the connection. Thanks
