With iOS9, I can no longer import pictures to iPad Air 2 using SD card reader.

HI Torsouth, did you find a resolution to this issue? I'm having the same problem too 😕

I ended up having to delete everything off my memory card and format it, I took a few photos and tried again and wallah they imported onto my iPad with no problems. No idea what had changed as I still had lots of room on my memory card and it defiantly worked with no problems right before I did the update. Hope this helps you.

I have the same issue and have tried 3 SD cards with no success. I can't see the photos and can't even transfer the grey icons. I also have my iPad Air primarily for image editing. it's a major inconvenience to clear my cards and store the photos and reformat the cards. Is there any other way to make this work?

I have the same problem but I don't think the disk format is the problem. I think it's a mater of how much data there is on the disc. So I tried a new disc which I purchased at the same time as the problem disc and took a few photos with it, I then uploaded them to the iPad with no problem. If you have formatted your discs, they would of course work again, as there is then less data on the disc. Does anyone know if iOS 9.0 puts a limit on the data stored on a SD card?

I Formatted my SD card and tried taking pictures and using my lightening to SD card reader. It still will not work. Any suggestions? I hate this new upgrade!

I agree pattyg5. The update has rendered my iPad useless again, as I only use my iPad for sorting my photos. I hope that Apple are looking at fixing this soon? I have only just got the iPad working properly after the last problem of not being able to delete photos, which took Apple a couple of years to do something about :-(

Having the same problem with an ipad air and camera connection kit. This problem isn't solved. Erasing and reformatting a 32gb card when it has over 16gb of pictures is not a fix. Especially when large cards worked fine before.

Same problem here!! Apple help!!😕

Try this. Connect the SD card to a computer and make sure there is a folder titled DCIM on the SD card, ensure any photos you want to appear on the iPad are in the DCIM folder and try again, the iPad will be searching for photos in the DCIM folder only, if they are in another folder they may not appear.

Same problem - iPad Air with iOS 9.1: importing full resolution raw files is no longer possible. Formatting SD-cards doesn't help! Even previously under iOS 7 and 8 imported full resolution raw files are no longer editable with raw editing App Photogene - resolution is only 320 (looks like the small jpg embedded in the raw file)!

Please, please Apple, fix this annoying iOS bug, that's making your wonderful iPad completely useless for engaged photographers! 😠

It seems that iOS 9 has changed the way raw files are stored in the Photos App, because raw files, which have been imported under iOS 7 or 8 are still there, but are no longer accessible as raw files by some Apps, like the raw editor Photogene. I tried the recently updated raw editor Photoraw, which is loading all my raw files with full resolution.

So better than nothing, but nevertheless I don't like being forced to change my workflow or my preferred apps.

Apple does not care about digital professionals. If you're looking for a fix, stop using Apple products.

I have been using apple for audio video editing since I was 15. Now that I work professionally in Los Angeles I had figured choosing the "artsy" Mac OS back in the early 2000s I would be ready to work in a professional setting.

While Logic X tries to hold on to it's professional prowess as a DAW, Final Cut X and Aperture are an embarrassment.

Everything Apple creates and does now is designed to encourage users to be cloud bases home recreational users.

The ability to plug an SD card into an iPad is appalling to Apple because god forbid a used upload their own media without using the expensive media distribution methods Apple profits off.

Apple will not fix this SD to iPad issue, it is not profitable.

Hello.

It appears that the import feature is only looking DSC_0000.jpg files now. If you rename the files to DSC_00xx.jpg, then the import should work.

It just worked for me on an iPad2 IOSv9.2.1. I'll work on the RAW feature (NEF for me) when I have another shoot.

Best Regards,

Paul
