@HaggenKennedy3 years ago Thank you so much for all the info in such a well-detailed video. I couldn't get my iPad to read the contents of my USB key, even when it was being charged by the lightning cable, and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out it's because it was formatted using NTFS. Your video really helped. Thanks a ton! ... 7

@thatsmysolstice15843 years ago Finally! Thank you for this video - Mine works now on my non-pro iPad using my lightning phone charger cord, Apple camera adapter and a power storage pack I already have. This did not work with my lightning phone charger cord plugged into my usb wall phone charger. Powering down my PC for a while, using ipad exclusively and needed to find a way to access files on thumb drives through ipad only. This is it! Thank you thank you! ... 2

Please tell me:

Thanks, pls do reply

@triciasamila59214 years ago The use of a USB hub with power (such as the one used in the video) makes the use of an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera possible. At this writing shopping for a Lightening to USB 3 Camera is easier to find than the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter (such as the one used in the video). The lightning connection is being phased out. I updated my iPad Air 2 early in 2020, which turned shopping for cables into hunting for cables. But this video gave me enough information to know exactly what my options were for getting this to work. I found the Lightning connections and the thumb drives and have successfully moved my photos from my iPad. My thanks to you Pete. ... 1

@eyeonart68655 years ago Okey, I found the answer. If I load the flash drive using pc they do not play. I plugged the flash drive into my Samsung galaxy Note and loaded MP3 music, video and documents and work great now. 14

@PastelBaby24 years ago Thank you so much for this! This helped a lot!
I have an OTG of Type C cable so I thought this might of worked on what I tried. What I did was use a type C female to light-ning male adapter to my OTG in order to connected to my Ipad Pro and that didn't work. Nothing came up. I was wondering what happened even though I was on IOS 13. I looked up on youtube and this video was on top and decided to watch to see what went wrong.
But wow i learned a lot. I didnt knew that you needed an official apple device in order to use flashdrive. I'm new with Apple and wanted to type on my IPad Pro 7th generation! Thank you again! Will go and buy that 😁 ... 2

@maryyanez31574 years ago Hi can i use the apple lightning usb adapter for printing??
(Our printer is kinda old that its not compatible for airprint) 9
@

@jazzman16265 years ago I have an iExpand. With a slider switch on the top, you can have either a usb or slide it back and have lightening connector. In the side there is a slot for a micro SD card which you can put into a regular size SD card holder. It works a treat and I use mine to transfer photos to my laptop and to my iPad via the iExpand.
Just look for time 2 iExpand on Amazon or whatever. It doesn’t need any additional adapter to work either. There are others, but the Time2 iExpand size is dependent on your choice of micro SD card. ... 2

@

@farieq894 years ago Something to share, initially I had some issues to detect my external hdd and after some troubleshooting, make sure:
(1) The external hdd/ssd is using exFAT file system
(2) The exFAT allocation unit size need to be 1024KB or smaller, Windows10 default allocation unit size for exFAT is 128KB when formatting disk
Ipados14 will not detect exFAT with 2048KB or above allocation unit size, as of the time I've added this comment :) ... 16

@MrVio1314 years ago Hi Pete! I have an iPad Pro 12,9 second gen and have the exact same adapter as you. I am at the latest iPad OS software and have plenty of storage. I cleared the memory (with a memory app), I cleared all notifications and safari history. I restarted the iPad and followed your instructions step by step. When I connect the lighting power to the adapter, the charge goes intermittent as if you plug and unplug the power. Also that notification goes on and off just as the charge. On my iPhone X, it doesn’t even register that it’s plugged in to charge, so I used the wireless charger and nothing happens. The thumb drive does not appear in the folder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ... 11
