Yearly Archives: 2010 Over on Scott Kelby’s blog today is a link to a really interesting conversation between Scott Kelby and Joe McNally. Sans interviewer, the pair have a conversation about where there photography has come from and where it is going. Among the takeaways are: Get it right in the camera (to spend less time at the…  Hey iPad Camera Connection Kit Users – been seeing this screen lately? I wrote in an earlier post back in May of my experiences uploading images from a CF card via the USB connector in the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. The card reader I was using at the time was an old USB 1.1… 
Well, I reached this article for the same issue. But honestly, the most interesting part is your tweet, which i accidentally read while reading this article! 1 more thing, if I am going to use the camera USB cable all the time, would that really work without a problem with the iPad? using canon 7D, or sometimes Sony alpha200 ? 
Hi Albert, I just got back from Florida, read your comment, and did some investigating. I’ll blog the results of that later in the week but it seems that my success is due to my card reader (see the Gear section in my Bookstore (http://astore.amazon.com/richarddavisp-20) This reader, alone among all my CF car readers, will read a CF card to my iPad running iOS Version 4.3 (8F190). What’s more intriguing is that this card reader will also allow an series one iPad running iOS 4.2.1 (8C148) to read photos off a CF card. Also now, both the above iOS versions will read SD cards. If you connect your 7D via a USB cable from the micro-USB on the camera to a standard USB on the iPad camera connector kit USB connector, turn the camera on and plug the camera connector into the iPad port, then the iPad will be read the images off the card. In this scenario, the power for the transfer is being provided by the 7D, not the iPad. 
I am also having the same problems trying to copy some home videos to my iPad. I get the “requires too much power” message. I originally purchased the card connection device via eBay and couldn’t transfer, then was told to get the proper Apple connection devices for the SD card and the USB connections, which I did, and they still don’t work. With my LAY brain on these things,,…..how do I get the videos to the iPad? I tried copying one jpg picture and got the same message so it wasn’t necessarily the size that was too much. I am at a loss how to achieve this. If anyone can help me further I would love to hear from you. I have the origianl iPad with version 4.2 and know/knew nothing about the power outlet and 30 pin xxxxxxx – its all double dutch to me. Vicki
Hi Vicki, If you’re still getting the “requires too much power” error with the apple SD card reader then I think the only safe way out is to connect the USB connector to your iPad and then use a USB cable to connect your camera to the apple USB connector and use the power of the camera to push the file to the iPad rather than relying on the power of the iPad to pull the file in from the card. Does this make sense to you? Only downside is that while the camera is connected to your iPad you can’t really use it to take more pictures/videos. 
[...] on December 19 of last year I was lamenting the changes in iPad iOS 4.2 that lowered the power to the power to the iPad 30-pin connector resulting in an inability to [...]

Fascinating story from the war. These stories always intrigue me. Thanks for sharing. Canon USA announced today that (for a fee) they will modify the Mode Dial on the EOS 5D mark II and EOS 7D to add a lock button. Once modified the dial can only be moved by pressing the mode button. Not that digital frames cost moolah but I was often frustrated on my Maine… Working on integrating my blog with my Facebook page. As usual with all this stuff, the user guides are outdated and incomplete so I’m having to feel my way through the process.  Once again I’m traveling and once again I’m relying on my iPad. Following a conversation with David Ziser I purchased a Delkin Devices card reader to transfer files from my camera to my iPad. When I used it a week ago I got a good transfer rate transferring images from my CF card. Today, with…  So my Maine Event came to a close today in a damp and soggy fashion. It was raining quite hard before sun up so I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. This was probably a mistake but I’ll never know for sure. When I did leave Belfast at around 10:00 it wasn’t…  So here we are, Day Three. I haven’t found a better WordPress app so I’m stuck with the eponymous app and hoping I don’t touch the wrong place on the screen and lose everything again.. I’ve set the auto save to every minute so we’ll see how that goes. Overnight it rained. Bar Harbor was…  So now I’m not liking this WordPress app for the iPad. It just lost my almost completed post! Just lost it a second time, need to find a better app! I was writing about my day, starting at Quoddy Head, then traveling south via Cutler, Jonesport, Birch Harbor and the Schoodic peninsular, ending up in…  Yesterday I flew into Boston with my wife, Karen. Karen is attending a conference and I decided to rent a car to drive to Lubec, Maine, then drive back down the cost to Boston. Last week the weather was supposed to be sunny and cold.
