My external hard drive was knocked off of my desk (WD My Book 1TB). The other possibility is to find a flash drive that runs on 100 mA or less, but then you don’t need the fancy 45€ powered adapter, a regular Lightning to USB adapter will work.I am so desperate to recover my data. Someone told me that iPhones come with 12W adapters, could that be the reason that commenters (such as Zing Poppo and ChrisLL) can only connect to the iPhone, not the iPad? So check the output of your power adapter, even if it is the original one that came with your iPad. When I purchased a 12W Apple power adapter (19€) and used that one instead of the “original” 5W adapter, my problem was solved. Most USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drives (I found out) require 500 mA to operate. Then I purchased the (45€) original Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, and tried to attach a USB flash drive, but I got the “requires too much power” message. So here it is: when I purchased my iPad it came with a power adapter (charger) that has an output of 5V. Many commenters here are writing about iPhones, and that is a different situation. This only applies to attaching a USB flash drive to an iPad. Maybe someone will read this and will be spared the days of frustration I went through. Now when I look back through the comments, I realize my answer was already here, but I had overlooked it. This means that there are two ports in total: a data transfer port for your external device, and a power port (which will both provide additional power to the external device, and it will charge your iOS device). The last option remaining and your best option you have is to use a OTG adapter that has an additional power supply port available. If the keyboard (which is a simple device and doesn’t need much power generally speaking) is working fine, it is likely you should keep reading. The last option here is to try a totally different device: more concretely, a very ‘simple’ device such as a keyboard. Another USB thumb drive or external hard drive may work perfectly.
First, you may check if the same error is shown on another iOS device. If you are still having trouble with the error pop-up, there are still some options to try out. Make sure each cable is connected firmly so that there is no weak or interrupted connection.Īnother option you may try is to reboot your iPhone/iPad/iPod, both with and without the adapter cable connected.Ī third option is to make sure your Apple device is fully charged.
Plug in the adapter cable again, then connect the external device. If the error message keeps popping up on your device, you may try to perform some actions first in order to resolve the issue.īest thing to do is to first disconnect all cables that are plugged in. It will only allow you to connect simple devices to your iPhone or iPad. This is a simple Lightening to USB from Apple.
