In this video I use a powered USB Hub (Griffin Simplifi Dock) to re-test equipment connected to the iPad via the USB adapter from the Camera Connection Kit.

  • I would like to ask how about using non-apple keyboard through the camera connection kit, is it work?

  • @lhlalan Yes, many have been successful connecting non-Apple USB keyboards.

  • Do you think a driverless webcam would work the same way?

  • @princesstimai No, no webcam support on the iPad.

  • i was going to get one of these to use 2 usb devices at the same time .. would that work?

  • @warlockboyburns On the iPad? Maybe if one USB devices was a keyboard and the other storage, it might work together. But otherwise the iPad can only access one drive at a time.

  • @themaufoy There are no mouse drivers in iOS.

  • @ERICALULZ Yes, but unfortunately the iPad doesn't output enough power for many USB flash drives.

  • The flash drive must have a file titled DCIM with your photos in it.

  • There's a reason it's called Camera Connection, not external HDD and keyboard kit.

  • Have u tried formatting ur drive or usb-stick to something iPad likes? Dunno, FAT32 or smthing Mac but not NTFS.

  • it's better to buy Windows pad and use all USB devices, programs without problems. Of you can't read documents from iPad so what for to buy it?

  • what about a wireless keyboard that's not Bluetooth???

  • im looking to buy a ipad but my only problom with it is that i need to be able to right papers which i mostly cary from a usb drive i need some thing to be able to support this.

  • dont go out and by this, you can get bluetooth ones now

  • will the synthstation 25 work via this method ?
