iPad 2, iOS 8.2, Sd card reader
Same problem here. iPad Air. iOS 7.1.2 - card reader working fine. Updated to iOS 8.3 and I'm screwed.
The main reason for buying the iPad was to show my clients the photos on it as a preview, or send them out by email.
Now I can diss my card reader and try to find one that works with iOS 8.3
Many thanks, Apple.
I am also having the same issue. I have an SD card reader that I used frequently and it worked great to upload pictures to my ipad air until I updated my software to IOS 8.3 and now when I plug it in, nothing happens. I don't get an error message. It used to automatically load thumbnails of all of my pictures and I could select which ones to import, but now no thumbnails come up. It has to be the software, because I was previously using the same SD card from the same camera in the same card reader on this ipad and it all worked great. Please help!!!!!! I am on vacation and do not have an apple store nearby.....
I sent an inquiry to the seller of mine and got offered getting it replaced by a recent one that works again. Probably a problem with the chip in the cable that doesn't respond properly anymore to the communication that was changed in iOS 8.3. I sent mine in and I'm waiting for the replacement to arrive.
You were correct. I was using an older SD card reader with an adaptor to connect it to my ipad air. The IOS 8.3 update must have rendered the card reader obsolete. I bought a new SD to lightning card reader today and it works.....But of course that involves spending more money!
Years ago I bought a Nano 2g and a car radio with a connector. Worked fine and was charging.
Bought a Nano 4g - incompatible, not charging.
The change to the way less stable lightning plug (think of docks and such!) made millions of alarm clocks and radios and docks and things obsolete - that's why I'm still on my 4s.
I sure know what brand I'll NOT be buying anymore, should the devices fail one day.
anyway I asked the dealer who sold the reaser I Amazon if there was a version with 8.3 - and he offered me to exchange it for free!
I sent it in, but I added a bill to cover half of the price - it's certainly not the seller's fault (nor the maker's).
SD card reader not workiing post IOS 8.3 update
