yep like i'm going to get another expensive cable that will just get in the way when i can just use wireless data transfer and transfer my files to usb or usb flash drives using a wireless usb hub .
Howdy folks. It should be back in stock on Amazon now. It is more expensive than third party options but worth it for the relability in my opinion. And there are WiFi transfer optoins too which can work well when transferring to and from a PC/Mac - ua-cam.com/video/FgCTu3gEQBk/v-deo.html
Your instructional videos were good to begin with Pete, but over the last while you’ve really gone up to the next level. I think they are first class and easily understandable at a pace that is not boring. You don’t skip things but you take each step methodically and explain things crystal clear. I think you’ve found a new groove, Pete. You make world class instructional videos. Kudos and congratulations! 🏆
I used inexpensive lightning adapter from Amazon and transferred very heavy files from IPad to Kingston 128GB SD card ( US$20) Worked perfectly. Unexpectedly fast. Perfect answer to storage problems.
Nice one! Glad it worked out for you. I haven't had a lot of luck with non-Apple adapters, but if it worked for you, that's great! Hopefully it continues working as well in the future. 👍
Ok so I love your explanations: appears wireless Apple has gone BACK TO the early 2000s. I’m okay with that, I remember sooooo much of attaching this port to that port.. it is the only way I feel in control of what I’m working with. Remembering passwords on every electronic tablet etc is exhausting. I’m old school - put this to that, then press done. Ty so much. I’ve been away from my fun projects because of wifi latency, this is my morning oatmeal. Ty again!!! Subscribed
Doh! I got so excited to learn I could use external memory devices that I completely forgot about the fat32 format for apple interchange.. 🤦♂️ been using my phone for so much for so many years, not using my pc in forever.. I’ve overlooked some basic knowledge I already had. Thank you as once again, having your videos to reference has saved me major aggravations. I will get back up to speed and catch up with this new media age… I swear 🙄✌🏻
Thanks now I will be able to transfer all my photos of the notes my teachers have written this year on the whiteboard from my school ipad to my laptop so I can return the ipad
Pete! Great info video for USB transfer from iPad! You totally Rock! I’ve been following you for five plus years starting with Garage Band videos! Have a prosperous 2024 down under!
Ipad mini 5 note: You don't get options when you get the "save to files" button. Just press it and when it is ready it takes you to the files page and then you choose to save to the connected USB and then press save on top right. Little different but I might have saved someone an hour 🙂. Thanks for this video.
I normally use the Sandisk iXpand but my new one had suddenly gotten loose on the lighting connector. Everything else connects to my phone so it's the iXpand usb that's busted, so I was looking for an alternative this will be great I think. This is the best video I've seen you explain everything I was googling and more in great detail. Much appreciated mate. Thank you.
Thank you sooo much, had the problem with lots of photo transfer to external source, but then not remembering which it was. You solved this with the “Album” ….. fantastique
Finally, my ipad has such terrible restriction settings because of my school, next month I am planning to get a new ipad cause of the restrictions, if you didn’t make this I would’ve lost over 80 drawings, thank you so much, I can’t thank you enough.
I have the first iPad pro that came out. I followed your instructions/equipment and haven’t a clue where I’m to go from there. I’ve searched through my settings and don’t find anything that looks like you are showing. Help!
If a person is really worried about totally losing fotos, mention that they can transfer to the 2nd backup prior to deleting from iphone/ipad - this way also helps in the event that the thumb drive is faulty (you would find out prior to deleting the iphone/ipad foto) and nothing would be lost.
I picked up the ORICO usb 3.0 4 port hub on amazon, also a SanDisk T5 1 TB SSD drive and an Anker micro sd usb card reader and iPadOS will mount both and you can copy files back and forth to your heart’s content.
never got my 1tb hard drive to connect but its not ssd and maybe it was taking like FOREVER to finish reading the file structure of the drive on the first go around..... have not tested it again but will one of these days when I feel up to it....
Let me know how you get on Wayne. It seems to be a little random as to what works and what does not. Smaller flash based drives that are FAT formatted seem to be the most reliable.
Pete do you have a video for this please for iPad version 12 as mine is a mini 2 and just bought camera adapter as I want to get photos from Dropbox onto USB. I would be most grateful thank you
Hi there. Unfortunately iOS 12 does not support USB drives at all. You would need to update your device or use a drive like this. ua-cam.com/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been able to don this for a while using a WD WiFi SSD. It’s way better with the files app and USB-C now. I sure hope they give us the ability to actually “transfer” stuff some day. As much as I like my iPad it feels like I’m swimming up stream with data transfers.
Would be nice to see better support. Thankfully there are other optoins and the market will eventually decide which products are worthy of our hard earned $$.
🙏🏻 thank you for the info.. just bought one of these cables... iphone so full can't budge... now if I delete the original photos in my iPhone ... will that delete action on my Iphone then cause the photos (copies ie backups ) in the cloud to also delete when they synch and update .🤔🤔🤔 which storage has priority
Hey there. So iCloud is a little flawed. If you delete on a device it also deletes the backup. 🤦🏻♂️ So you’d need to backup somewhere else (USB drive, google Drive etc) and then delete. Weirdly if you run out of space it will “offload” some iCloud data without deleting it from iCloud. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks. Can you please answer my other question? aah it's deleted🤔 Will the one available in apple store allows me to transfer from iPhone to USB? Apple only mentioned that photos can be copied from camera to iphone. They didn't mention other way around. As the link you shared isn't available in amazon, want to try out from Apple store, but want to make sure it works the way you showed in video. Thanks.
you have the best explanatory videos. I thank you so much for this. I am just getting started on recording with video and music on a new ipad and iphone so I need this instruction .thank you for actually showing what plugs into what; so many people do not do that! They just say it. I need to see it. so thanks again.
Politicians have NOTHING informative to offer any of us..Only lies...to get them to their ultimate target A HIGH pension for doing NOTHING for us...for 4 years...
I don't get the share sheet, just a list of other options in a small window, nor does it say x number of photos selected even though the blue check mark is on the photos. I get an add to album, but no save to files.
Thanks very much. One question: how long would you expect it would take to download 200 photos from an ipad to a flash drive in the manner you describe? I found that it took over an hour. Is this an expected time?
Yes it’s quite slow due to the USB 2.0 speeds in iOS. These days using cloud storage like iCloud Drive, Google Drive etc is generally quicker and better.
Hey Pete! I was wondering if you might know why my photos and videos won’t display on my laptop? It says file unsupported but they’re fine when I connect the USB to my phone to look at them.
Thanks a bunch. Great explanation, easy to understand. But i notice that all the pics i transfer do not show the date they were originally taken. Solution? I have 50 gb of pics / videos / screen shots that i am trying to get off my icloud so I can stop paying every month for the storage.
Nope. You'll need something that creates an actual USB bridge instead which allows data transfer, which is why I recommend the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi I’m trying to download a video using the adapter with the power plug in it downloads the video but I cannot play it on my Windows computer do you know how. Thanks
Bought the Apple USB3 and lightning adapter from Amazon as recommended on your link. This adapter is NOT compatible with my iPad Pro 11 (2018). Apparently I need. a usbC adapter. Now what? Will that adapter also need a power port?
Hey there. Yes; newer iPads use USB-C but the good news is you can use pretty much any USB-C adapter to connect. Power management is better but it’s still a good idea to have a powered hub. I talk about my setup here. ua-cam.com/video/yzIyqkB-7CA/v-deo.html
080322/0546h PST 🇺🇸 Greetings from California. Pete, thank you for the tip to DL the images from iPads/iPhones. I saw your presentation only today and soon rushed to store for Sandisk 512 GB. Rest is history. All the images in my devices were copied and retrieved about 25GB space.. No more Apple warning…. Until … thanks mate. Good day…
I got a scandisk that is SUPPOSED to work for iPad 5th gen, but isn't showing in drive. Tried to download iXpand flash drive app but iPad says no room but have 807MB of iCloud storage remaining. Thughts?Guidance?
Hey there. Yes, any drive will work as long as it is formatted correctly and you have a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Thanks so much! I had no idea how to do this or where to look to see where my flash drive would show on my iphone. I did make the mistake of buying the standard Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with not charging port. Like you said, the USB takes power and it would't work until I bought the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with the charging port, after that, everything worked fine.
Thank you for your clear instructions, I did transfer the photos and videos to the USB drive, but they do not show the date they were taken and that is important for legal reasons. Suggestion please.
Thanks for the video! Please tell me how to transfer my Photo & Video Albums to the flash drive. I don’t want to send individual pictures by the thousands, I would like to transfer the already named albums from my iPad to the flash drive. Thanks!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Since Google Photos is now charging after 15GB of storage has been used and I’m almost out of space I’m trying to just transfer albums from my iPad to a flash drive to free up space on my iPad. Is there anyway to transfer Photo albums I’ve already made on my iPad so I don’t have to sort photos & make the albums again on my flash drive?
Hi Pete, @ 1:48 you talked about file APP, then the left side of screen shown Browse, Locations etc.... but I don't have this part show (missing)?? Therefore I can't select San Disk drive.....would you pls help, thank you so much for the wonderful educational video.
Thanks so much I have over 9000 pics/videos in my camera roll iPhone 7 Plus . I haven’t transferred to computer 💻 yet because I don’t have much space on my computer . There backed up on phone though there safe . I want to put them on USB stick and a Terabyte . . Thanks 😊 great video
hi. my wife has also a iphone 7 plus and it is ruung out of space..i got a lexar micro sd card that i used to move file back and forth easily without itune.. itune delete the whole files on the iphine even if i wanted to add only one pictures.. but for some reason the lexar app doesnt recognized the micro sdc card even though it is connected and i download the app still doesnt work;.. does the items allow easy transfer from iphone to a usb and vice versas as long the ios is updated? please comment
I did a photo shoot awhile ago, and did a little networking and lots of ppl told me I need a USB flash drive but How can I transfer photos from usb flash drive to My iPhone? I want to transfer them to my photo gallery
Hey there my friend. Yes, I’m not a fan of this for larger files. I tend to use the WiFi Drive function of the AudioShare app which has much better speed. ua-cam.com/video/4oIejCXh1TQ/v-deo.html
Please can you help me? I have saved some photos & videos to my usb and when I try to view them on my windows PC it says I am unable to view them. Has it’s happened to you / is there a solution please? I have albums made on my phone I.e “family” and I want to save them to my usb so I can view / store them on a usb and pc to free up space on my iPhone and to back them up, but when I try to view them it comes up with the error message saying I’m not able to view / not supported. Any help / advise would me really appreciated. Thanks.
Hey there. You might need an image viewer that supports more file types? Maybe search around online for a free image viewer that can view the types of files. Or use something like Google Photos to share instead.
When importing a large selected group of photos to external flash drive, do your photos remain in sequential orders? I’ve had problem with that using different method. I would like the order of My photos to remain as they were chronologically taken. Thanks so much I’m glad I’m finally getting clued in to this system after much procrastination
Thank you for this. I just assumed this was for the newer iPad’s. My laptop just broke today and given the pandemic I’m strapped for cash so can’t replace it. So using my iPad Air 2 and buying this dongle will be a major relief.
hi, you mentioned ios 13 on ipad, iphone, is that the minimum, not sure what my friend got but think its only 11 will this not work then? thanks for a good video

Yes it’s still not super easy is it?
If a person is really worried about totally losing fotos, mention that they can transfer to the 2nd backup prior to deleting from iphone/ipad - this way also helps in the event that the thumb drive is faulty (you would find out prior to deleting the iphone/ipad foto) and nothing would be lost.
Totally. The more backups and locations the better.
I picked up the ORICO usb 3.0 4 port hub on amazon, also a SanDisk T5 1 TB SSD drive and an Anker micro sd usb card reader and iPadOS will mount both and you can copy files back and forth to your heart’s content.
Brilliant!! What’s the speed like? I’ve heard larger files can be quite slow?
never got my 1tb hard drive to connect but its not ssd and maybe it was taking like FOREVER to finish reading the file structure of the drive on the first go around..... have not tested it again but will one of these days when I feel up to it....
Let me know how you get on Wayne. It seems to be a little random as to what works and what does not. Smaller flash based drives that are FAT formatted seem to be the most reliable.
I clicked on the link for the adapter but the one that came up didn’t have the power source? You said in your video we needed to have power?
Yes, find the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter - either through Amazon or direct from Apple.

So can I use whatever usb drive with that lightning to usb 3 adapter ? Will that adapter work for any iphones?
The genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter is the best option and works well - studiolivetoday.com/usb
Love you brother ❤️
Thanks my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Thanks so much! I had no idea how to do this or where to look to see where my flash drive would show on my iphone. I did make the mistake of buying the standard Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with not charging port. Like you said, the USB takes power and it would't work until I bought the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with the charging port, after that, everything worked fine.
Awesome! Very glad it helped my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Well explained, thank you

I'm getting an "unable to share" error. I'm trying to transfer over 1000 photos. Could that be the problem? When a try with 3 pics it works fine
Yep. I’ve had issues with larger volumes of files. You might want to try zipping them up. ua-cam.com/video/VtSNesKy-HE/v-deo.htmlsi=EfJf61IaBrLff9ip
Thank you for your clear instructions, I did transfer the photos and videos to the USB drive, but they do not show the date they were taken and that is important for legal reasons. Suggestion please.
Yeah not sure about this sorry. Maybe try using iCloud Drive instead.
I wish I could like 1 million times. I’ve watched too many videos, and thee are too many steps or too much talking, yet no good results. 💚💚💚
Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words. Bookmark this web page for future reference in case you have issues on the future. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Thanks for the video! Please tell me how to transfer my Photo & Video Albums to the flash drive. I don’t want to send individual pictures by the thousands, I would like to transfer the already named albums from my iPad to the flash drive. Thanks!
Yeah it’s quite challenging to copy a large volume of photos. I would use something like Google Photos to backup and transfer photos.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Since Google Photos is now charging after 15GB of storage has been used and I’m almost out of space I’m trying to just transfer albums from my iPad to a flash drive to free up space on my iPad. Is there anyway to transfer Photo albums I’ve already made on my iPad so I don’t have to sort photos & make the albums again on my flash drive?
Can I do this with a 3.0 USB flash drive and plug the adapter into my phone? I have an 11 pro max.
You’ll need the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic so I can get the Apple adapter from Apple itself and use the 3.0 usb and plug it into my phone and it will work ?
Will this work with iOS 15 using an iPhone?
Yup sure will. Just follow the instructions especially related to genuine adapters and power. studiolivetoday.com/usb
how do you just unload all of your photos to the flash drive ( thousands ) in one shot instead of clicking on them one at a time ?
Yeah unfortunately Apple don’t support that natively. You might need to look for third party app.
Hi Pete, @ 1:48 you talked about file APP, then the left side of screen shown Browse, Locations etc.... but I don't have this part show (missing)?? Therefore I can't select San Disk drive.....would you pls help, thank you so much for the wonderful educational video.
Hey there. Check out more videos here that might show this. studiolivetoday.com/usb.
It looks a little different on iPhone.
Thank you so much
But it is a hustle to move files from ios
I'm so happy I use a SAMSUNG to move files much easier and much faster
Yup. I use iCloud Drive these days, or other cloud storage platforms like Google or Dropbox.
Can I do this on my iPhone ? I don’t have a tablet .
Yup. Any device that supports iOS 13 or above.
@@PeteJohnsMusic ok I’m going to try it hope it works for me . Thnx
Thanks so much I have over 9000 pics/videos in my camera roll iPhone 7 Plus . I haven’t transferred to computer 💻 yet because I don’t have much space on my computer . There backed up on phone though there safe . I want to put them on USB stick and a Terabyte . . Thanks 😊 great video

hi. my wife has also a iphone 7 plus and it is ruung out of space..i got a lexar micro sd card that i used to move file back and forth easily without itune.. itune delete the whole files on the iphine even if i wanted to add only one pictures.. but for some reason the lexar app doesnt recognized the micro sdc card even though it is connected and i download the app still doesnt work;.. does the items allow easy transfer from iphone to a usb and vice versas as long the ios is updated? please comment
Can I export directly from iPhone to usb
Sort of. It will show up as a location. But I’ve found it more reliable copying to a folder first.
I did a photo shoot awhile ago, and did a little networking and lots of ppl told me I need a USB flash drive but How can I transfer photos from usb flash drive to My iPhone? I want to transfer them to my photo gallery
Hopefully this helped. More info here. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi can you transfer videos aswell??
Yup. Any files you have stored on your iPhone or iPad can be transferred to and from.
Nice video, but I’m finding the speeds very, very slow. Transferring a 1gb video files take many, many minutes.
Hey there my friend. Yes, I’m not a fan of this for larger files. I tend to use the WiFi Drive function of the AudioShare app which has much better speed. ua-cam.com/video/4oIejCXh1TQ/v-deo.html
Very helpful video 👍
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
So after we transfer it to the usb drive we cna delete it
And if we ever want to see them again we would just plug it in and click the folder
I have an iPhone 8 with software version 13.6.1 but I’m not seeing these options in my settings 😕
Hey there. Maybe check out this video?

Good stuff! Thanks Pete.
You’re welcome. Thanks to you my friend.
When transferring photos/vidoes from iphone onto a Type C/USB onto External hard drive they are Yellowish.
Yeah right. Not sure what that’s about sorry?
why isn't the movie on my flashdrive that I transferred thru this adapter from my iPad not playing on my firestick?
Not sure sorry. Might not be a supported format? 🤷🏻♂️
Can I buy lightening to USB Adapter only? Or do I have to buy lightening to USB Adapter 3 to transfer files?
Personally, I have found that the Lightning port for extra power is required unless you have a powered USB hub.
Hi pete, thank you for the video. Just wondering why the pics don’t transfer as jpeg? They open as heic how do we get them to be jpeg instead? Thanks
Yeah it uses the native iOS photo format. If you export manually it will convert to jpg but not using this method.
Thanks for replying, is there any way to bulk copy them over in order? I’m trying to get pictures for my sons birthday but they’re all jumbled
after ive transfered all of my photos do I just unplug the flash drive?
Yes. There’s no “eject” or any of that with iOS. Just make sure the transfers and compete and maybe close the Files app.
Does copy continue when it falls to sleep?
Good question? I believe so.
@@PeteJohnsMusic not to me
Please can you help me? I have saved some photos & videos to my usb and when I try to view them on my windows PC it says I am unable to view them. Has it’s happened to you / is there a solution please? I have albums made on my phone I.e “family” and I want to save them to my usb so I can view / store them on a usb and pc to free up space on my iPhone and to back them up, but when I try to view them it comes up with the error message saying I’m not able to view / not supported. Any help / advise would me really appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry i forgot to add, that I can view them when I re plug my usb into my phone but not on my pc.
Hey there. You might need an image viewer that supports more file types? Maybe search around online for a free image viewer that can view the types of files. Or use something like Google Photos to share instead.
When importing a large selected group of photos to external flash drive, do your photos remain in sequential orders? I’ve had problem with that using different method. I would like the order of
My photos to remain as they were chronologically taken. Thanks so much I’m glad I’m finally getting clued in to this system after much procrastination
Yeah I must admit that I use Google Photos mostly these days as I find the USB method does mess with dates and formats.
Thank you for this. I just assumed this was for the newer iPad’s. My laptop just broke today and given the pandemic I’m strapped for cash so can’t replace it. So using my iPad Air 2 and buying this dongle will be a major relief.
Yes, it's a handy way to move files around as long as your devices support iOS 13.
Sorry for the obvious stupid question but does this work on version 9. ?
iOS 9? No. Only iOS 13 and above. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic :-(
What about the other way round from usb to iPad?
Yup, pretty much the same process. Plenty of other videos here on the channel to help you with this - ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
hi, you mentioned ios 13 on ipad, iphone, is that the minimum, not sure what my friend got but think its only 11 will this not work then? thanks for a good video
Hey there. Yes, USB drive support was added in iOS 13. studiolivetoday.com/usb
