No it can't be used to download pictures off the iPad, only import them into the iPad. I too wish there was someway to do that without wifi!

Unfortunately with the standard iOS download to card is not supported. You will need a jail broken iOS to do this. It's more of a limitation on the operating system / platform than the card reader.

Dear M Brown, I don't think iPad let's you do this, unfortunately. They want you to spent more money and get one with bigger storage, but may be I just have not figured it out yet.

I'm not sure that can be done, althought there may be an iPad guru out there who can help. I just take pictures & video off the iPad is to plug it into my computer using the USB connection cable that comes with the iPad. You can certainly download and manage all your pictures easily that way, but you probably don't have a netbook/computer on the cruise. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

You need to make sure that the setting on the camera has the wifi turned on. Then go to your wifi settings on your camera and you should be able to select the wifi that is coming from the camera. Honestly, I found this to be a time-intensive process, so i just bought an adaptor from the apple store that allows me to take the data card out of the camera, put it in the adapter and attach it to my ipad to download the photos. It's a much quicker process. It seemed to take forever to do it with the wireless attachment.

I know perfectly well transfer photos to a tablet, what he said, he said it because it's more convenient to take pictures if I had a camera of at least 3MP rear. The device is very good and maybe the misunderstanding is because I am using a translator to answer, since no English. Thank you!

Would the WiFi version of the iPad be good enough for general surfing on the web? I would probably only use this during lunch or sitting around killing time when I am not at home, news sports etc. I would like to stay away from adding another monthly expense associated with the 3G.

I was wondering the same thing. Here's what I got from the Google developer release notes on Honeycomb 3.2 "Media sync from SD card: On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store." So I agree with yendred... this appears to be a Honeycomb issue. I'm thinking that there's a chance Google will add more SD functionality with a Honeycomb update in the future (they have been gradually ratching up SD functionality with each update of Honeycomb). But, that being said, I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems like manufacturers aren't pushing Google to develop a way to let consumers spend their cash on some third party's SD card when they'd rather force you to shill out an extra $100 to them for the larger internal memory version.... Go figure. I'm reminded of how users figured out ways to connect usb flash drives to ipads using the camera adapter so Apple quickly rushed out a software "update" to iOS that reduced power to the port rendering USB drives unusable via that "work around" (which, incidently, made it hard for photographers who were actually trying to use the "camera adapter" for their camera's CF card, to get their pictures off the card) So long as the business model is designed around tiered pricing for tablets based on internal memory, I don't think any of these manufacturers really want us to be able to add our own memory. I do hope I'm wrong, because the ability to fully utilize removable memory is what's holding me back from any tablet purchase. Sony, Apple, or otherwise.

I'm not sure. You can import the pictures into one iPad and after import is complete, you will be asked if you want to "Keep" the original files on the card or "Delete" them. Select "Keep" and plug the reader with the card into the next iPad. I don't know that you can transfer pictures from one iPad INTO the card... But I'll have to try now.

Yes you can. I plugged the ipad to the camera connector and then put in the SD card. The ipad will recognize the SD card. Just go to the Photos icon to open the interface screen. On the bottom of the "Photo" screen just select the "import" button to view the photos on the SD card. Hope this helps.

I am not familiar with the Ipad, but if it has same ports as a laptop, you can either use the usb cord to transfer directly from the camera or take the sd card out of the camera and put it into the Ipad if it has a slot for it. I suppose if it doesn't have either port you could send it from another pc that has the proper ports.

Yes you can. Remember the sd card is only use to store photos, music, books, and movies. You can not use it to download apps.

I returned my device .. it actually did not work at all. However, I think you can transfer pretty much any file, as a download, the question is, can a MKV file even be played by a player on an iPad? I think there is a version of VLC for the iPad, and the PC version of VLC plays MKV files. I wish I knew more, but the device did not work for me ...

This will not connect directly to an Ipad. You will need to add a standard USB connection to the proprietary connection of your Ipad. If you simply want to transfer SD card info to/from device there are a lot of better options like thesehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_1_12?k=ipad+sd+card+adapter&spref;ix=Ipad+SD+card

Yes you can. I haven't tried it myself. The wifi picture system works great. At the time I bought it, it only worked for Iphone and IPads.

Yes, I use it to transfer pictures from sd cards to my iPad 2 running on iOS 7. As soon as you plug in the adapter with the sd card, the iPad recognizes it and opens a new category opens up in the default photo app.

One more thing I feel I need to add. I have ONLY used this product on my iPad to download and view PHOTOS! I have not tried this for any other application. Just bypassing the tedious way of downloading photos to iPad 2 associated with iTunes. Just perfect for this!

Yes it is without going thru a computer. I bought the Apple SD card adapter for the iPad, hooked it up to the iPad, took the SD card out of he camera, put it into the adapter and after a wait, depending on the photos in your SD card - the photos loaded into my iPad. It was great as I was able to view the photos that I took everyday that eveneing while I was on holiday.

I'm assuming you're talking about using an SD card from your camera to transfer photos (this is the limitation). If you're going to do that you presumably could use any SD card along with the Apple Camera Connection Kit. This is what it does: "After you make the connection, your iPad automatically opens the Photos app, which lets you choose which pictures to import, then organizes the selected photos into albums. When you sync iPad to your PC or Mac, the photos on your iPad are added to your computer's photo library. iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW."

You have to download the Nikon App via smartphone, tablet or iPad and have wifi. Go to camera settings and connect it through wifi and you can take pictures through your other wifi compatible devices. The wifi function is a little misleading I had to go on YouTube and find out how to do it. I hope I was of help.
