Can you use the Lightning adaptor with the 30 pin camera kit to import to iPad Air/iPhone 5s and if so how?
I have the 30 pin usb and sd connection kit. When I upgraded to an iPad Air and iPhone 5s, I purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor so I could still import photos directly to my iPad Air and IPhone. It doesn't work. Why?
I am disappointed as I was told that this would be a compatible option as opposed to purchasing a new lightning camera adaptor kit!- Asked by Jenny D from Perth

Answer
I am not sure about music documents etc. However you can definitely copy photos from a pen drive. This is how it works..
If you connect a flash drive with photos it will nor recognize..However if you create a folder within the pen drive named DCIM and place all the photo folders inside this folder IPAD will recognize it as a photo device and let you copy any photos inside that folder. I already tried this with a KINGSTON 16 GB flash drive & it worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

I see people saying that you can import pictures from the iphone but what about other phones?
I have the htc hd2 so if anyone knows for sure it will work with that one then that would be great!

AnswerI personally haven't tried the HTC HD2 but I have tried my Blackberry Curve with the SD card slot and the USB cable with no luck. It actually charged the Blackberry (when I used the USB cable) for a short time until it said the device uses too much power. I checked the Internet to see if anyone else has gotten it to work and haven't been able to find a thing. I think I'll give it another shot later and try it with a Samsung, Nokia and Motorola phone and see if those work but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Also if you were wondering if you would be able to transfer screen captures from your iPod touch to your iPad using this gadget as well it seems like you're out of luck.
This is very disappointing since my Blackberry and iPod are on me all the time and I thought I'd be able to save time by transferring them directly into the iPad instead of to iPhoto then selecting the event in iTunes which is a bit cumbersome.
FYI I also tried it with my Kodak digital cam's SD card and it worked like a charm. Lets you delete photos as well as import them into the photos app.

Best Answer:Yes, it works. Ensure camera is switch on before before connecting to iPad via the USB cable. Had tested with different brands of camera & iPhone.

It won't do what you want it to do. Get a Cradlepoint device to set up a wireless network using your USB modem that your iPad can access.

Answer
I'm answering my own question here. Yes, now I've bought one I've found out that some keyboards (without extra usb hub ports like the apple ones) will work but the Footime foot controller doesn't work with ForScore since the foot controller uses page up and down to switch pages and ForScore uses arrow left/right.
I've spoken to developers from both sides and they are all looking into it.
Hope this helps people.
