Connected the 5-1 kit to charging port of I-Pad 2...screen changes to one including "import" button....But when I hit that it says "no photos to import".....I do have photos and AVI video files on it... What gives?

    How did the photos get onto the SD card?  The iPad expects them in a folder called DCIM and with an 8 character file name +  3 character extension. i.e. image001.jpg

     

    Also no sub folders inside DCIM will be read.

    The pics and videos were put on the card by one of those "trail cams".  The videos go into the DCIM folder and the photos go into the DCIM/100MFCAM DIRECTORY (sub folder inside DCIM) according to the manual. I had uploaded the pics/video from my desktop to the SD card just to test the card reader given to me. When I did, I was able to read the videos but not the still photos (jpeg's).
