lightning SD card reader issue with iOS7

I've the same problem, my ios 7 ipad does not recognise sd card reader any more.

I've had exactly the same problem and I only bought the genuine apple reader 1 week ago which worked fine before the update to IOS7.

I contacted the suppliers of the reader and they said Apple admitted they were having some problems and the suppliers said they would exchange it for one that worked if it couldn't be fixed with a software update.

They asked me to contact them Wednesday so I will let you know.

I've the same problem...

And me too!

Stevie, how did you get on? Any hope?

I have a 4th Gen iPad 64GB. I put a small (128MB) SD card in with a handful of .jpg pictures.

I turn on and unlock the iPad, then I insert my SD card into the Lightning/SD adapter then insert the Lightning/SD adapter into the iPad. It launches the Photos app but does not show the pictures nor the acknowledge the fact it's even there. What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be great!

Not good news. I contacted my supplier who said they referred the matter to Apple and we're told that if it didn't work then it was not an genuine Apple product. When my supplier told Apple they were bought from the distributor they just referred them back to the distributor.

I find it hard to believe that Apple couldn't validate the product as genuine or not given the serial numbers and if the distributor is selling counterfeit products I would think apple would want to know about it, but I'm surprised there isn't a lot more traffic on the forums if all card readers are failing. Bottom line is I would advise anyone who is thinking of buying a reader to wait until this is cleared up and if you've already got one, return it as not fit for purpose as I believe you have this right under the sale of goods act, whether the supplier likes it or not.

Of course this is just my experience and I'd be happy to hear from anyone who knows better.

Hope this helps

Hi

I am using lightning to SD card reader on my iPad mini with iOS 7.

Mine still works, and is surely genuine as I purchased from Apple retail store in Australia however, the reader is now extraordinarily slow to load image previews from the card. Where this was previously near instantaneous on iOS 6, the image previews take 1-2secs to load EACH which is completely ridiculous.

Very frustrating!!!

Apple please fix this.

Same problem since ios7 on my side. Ipad 2 with official Apple sd connector. I don't understand why there is no official recognition from Apple with a fix planning date.

It's a chance I haven't discovered this problem during vacation.

I hope the fix will be delivered fast.

I heard a rumor that there was going to be a patch last weekend, but unfortunately the problem still exists ... I've got an almost new official Apple SD reader, and it stopped working as soon as I upgraded. I'd roll back to iOS 6 f I could, but that doesn't appear to be possible. Apple, are you trying to turn into Microsoft? Can't believe this hasn't been taken care of yet.

I have called Applecare in Australia.

They are going to test this issue and then send it to the engineering team to have the bug fixed and an update sent out to everyone.

I've been on the road, which makes this all the more annoying. Reached Valencia Spain and went to the store yesterday - employees know about the issue, but are baffled as to cause. Tried a brand new reader out of the box, with a newer model#, and it actually worked fine, although store couldn't exchange because I didn't have my receipt with me .... grrr ..... bought new unit, will pursue refund when I return home. Evidently some inadvertent design change occured that allows newer models to work.

Its now November and I have done a second os7 update but my guenunie apple SD card reader comes up with an error as soon as it is plugged in, really peeing me off since I bought the more expensive apple version to make sure it was compatible. Inexcusable for them to know there is an issue and still not have fixed it by now.

I am with you Dragon; ludicrous. At least you have saved me from buying an Apple model. Mine was bought in an Apple store but is an after- market model. It used to work before iOS 7.

Hey Steve. I wanted to know if there is new about this sobject couse I want to buy one to file my files from my sd card of the gopro camera to my ipad mini.

I'd be happy if you will return answer to my Email as well - Amitassayag22@gmil.com

Thanks in advance,

Amit.
