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.)

Jan 18, 2014 3:53 PM in response to Texas Mac Manby Coyomita,Hey TMM,
I found your solution and thought I'd try it but when I plug an 8gb flashdrive (with a DCIM folder containing a file with 8 characters and a .jpeg extension on it) into the usb connection kit my ipad (2nd generation) gives me this message...
Cannot Use Device
USB 2.0 FD: the connected device requires too much power
Have you been able to use this method? If so, what I am doing incorrectly?
thanks,
Coyomita
