difficulty using the camera connection kit

Connect Camera Connection Kit and Camera to iPad before you turn on power on iPad.

It's faster to upload your picture to Dropbox on a computer and you do not require a Camera Connection Kit.

The speed of the uploading depends on the speed of your internet.

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.)

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.

Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I was also having trouble with camera connection kit on new iPad Air. I found that the kit would import photos from my Nikon's SD card but not from my Canon's card. Then I noticed that Nikon named the SD card but Canon did not. I named the Canon card "Canon1" and the camera connection kit has worked perfectly ever since.

Perhaps you've already sorted this out by now, but if not, can you borrow another camera connection kit to make sure the problem isn't with your kit?

I have a new iPhone which my iPad & camera connection kit couldn't detect any photos on. I knew it worked with another iPhone, so called Apple for help. They got me to reset everything, and delete stuff, which didn't help, so in the end I had to do a backup, and then factory reset of the phone. This fixed the problem, and it still worked after I restored the phone from the backup. There must have been a problem with the file structure.

worked for me, thanks
