    Have to buy more accessories? Come on Apple!

    • Written by from Bakersville

    As a photographer, I have always been a huge fan of Apple. Not any longer. Apple has in my opinion, chosen money over customers and quality. Buy an Ipad and you will need to spend lots of money for apps. which are free with HTC, and access. to be able to use the access. you just bought. Taking my Ipad back today along w\all the access. I had to buy. No more money games!

    This thing blows

    • Written by from Holyoke

    Followed all instructions. I tried 3 ad cards from different cameras and the USB attachment. Neither worked.

    LOW MARKS FOR VIDEO

    • Written by from San Diego

    I purchased item because it states h264 codec is acceptable. I have 550d that outputs to h264 video codec and shot 1080 and tried to transfer. It downloads fine but does not play. I get a grayed out screen labeled MOV. I tried two different cards and also shot 720. No Success. Cards sandisk class 10 4gig and transcend class 10 32 gig. photos work fine but i need video. i want to do some quick edits with imovie and upload. Senior tech support has offer no solutions but states that some folks have had success while others have not. We did hard reset of device and still not success.

    Did not work

    • Written by from Rancho Santa Fe

    I tried this and it worked with difficulty once, the second time not at all. I get photos now into my ipad via web albums, but can't use the ipad to download photos when traveling.

    Waste of money

    • Written by from Jerusalem

    It worked only once. The second time did not work. I paid 30 euros for this accessory and I cannot use it! I feel cheated.

    SD Will Not Work!!

    • Written by from College Park

    Tried reseting,restarting ipad 2... I exchanged connection kit thinking it was defective.. Also bought a new SD card thinking that surely was the Problem!!! NOPE!!! Then I did my research.. Started reading REVIEWS... Guess What I Found OUT!! RESTRICTIONS RESTRICTIONS!!!
    APPLE GET A LIFE!! Restrictions are for FREE not PAID for items!! I Paid $699.99 for MY ipad 2 (which I Love very much)!! Then bought a $29.99 Connection Kit (which I Returned for a REFUND) that will not work because Some APPLE wants Restrictions!! All I want to do Is put MY STUFF on MY ipad 2! If desktops and laptop companies did the same thing they probably would probably restrict loading to ipads from itunes....It Works BOTH Ways!!! Let people buy your products and USE THEM...NOT BORROW THEM... People will buy even more extras...

    Used 1 times and no longer works...

    • Written by from Trois-Rivieres

    I used it once and it does not work anymore!

    The only time i tried it, it was impossible to read my GoPro camera files, but it showed the thumbnail of the video. For my movies, i have to convert them evrytime...

    DO NOT GET UNTIL APPLE FIXES ISSUES

    • Written by from Hickory Hills

    Yeah, it works, partially. The SD card adapter works once, then I have to reset my iPad 2 to connect another SD card. It doesn't do anything otherwise. And yes, I waited the 30 seconds. The USB adapter is nearly useless thanks to Apple. Most cameras and phones will not connect to transfer pictures and videos. Why? They draw too much power, and I'm not wasting more money in getting a powered-up USB port when my iPad should handle it. Thanks Apple, for making such an amazing idea terrible!

    bad accessories

    • Written by from Coral Springs

    I have a Sony Nex 5 and Canon 5D mark ii and the camera connection kit doesn't work at all for me. Nothing happens when I insert the SD card, and nothing happens when I directly connect the camera. Running IOS 4.3.3 on an iPad1. Super disappointed.

    Disappointed

    • Written by from La Crescenta

    I just wasted my money. Every time I try to use this I'm told I can't because it requires too much power even though the iPad is fully charged.

    Very unstable, works for one device but not another

    • Written by from Pleasanton

    We bought two iPad 2 at the same time. This device works perfectly in one but it does not work at all in the other iPad 2. We tried everything possible. It should work in both of them. I hope Apple fixes this problem.

    Doesn't Work

    I have a Panasonic Lumix (DMC-ZS6), and the camera connection kit doesn't work at all for me. Nothing happens when I insert the SD card, and nothing happens when I directly connect the camera. Running IOS 4.3 on an iPad2. Super disappointed.

    Ugh. Works only sporadically.

    • Written by from Beckenham

    This worked fine with my first iPad but only sporadically with the ipad2, and now seems to have stopped working completely. So frustrating. Ugh.

    Not Worth it. . .

    • Written by from Bronx

    Not recommend, it only works with certain Digital Camera types, as per a Genius. So inquire about it, before running out to get the connection kit. Disappointed!

    Should come with a photo organizer (e.g. Best Album +Transfer)

    • Written by from Königswinter

    I bought it for my dad to import pictures to his ipad when travelling (and not having iTunes around for syncing) and got very disappointed: So much money for an almost useless function.

    After the import is done the pictures just pile up in a big folder "all imports".... yes you can watch them by date (Events) and by Location (Places) but everyone is used to tag/organize photos in many different ways these days ... and that is simply not possible in the Apple Photo Application. Even third party applications (unless we talk jailbreak) cannot edit the picture library due to apples thin interface being available on iOS4.

    Apple's support for organizing photos is a mess! The best I could come up with is "Best Album (+Transfer) which can "LINK" to your Pictures and organize them pretty slick. That's the way to handle your Pictures.

    Waste of money for me

    • Written by from Richmond Hill

    I bought this hoping it can backup my photos and videos to my iPad, unfortunately it cannot recognize my 3 years old jvc camcorder, neither my new 8th sdhc card. I hope I can still return it.
