My latest test: I just plugged in my 1st Gen iPod into my 2017 iPad thru the Apple USB 3 camera connection kit. Voila! Worked perfectly. Can play the music thru the iPad from the iPod. One caveat; being so old, the iPod uses short cryptic file names so you never know what’s going to play, but plays perfectly and responds promptly to start, stop etc. good fun!
What would be a good idea is to test a few usb keys and make a list of those who do not require too much power from the iphone to work. It would really be helpful for the consumer to know what usb keys will be compatible with the dongle !
A great idea! I haven't come across any that don't need at least the additional power from the Lightning to USB 3 adapter, but if anyone comes across any, drop a comment!
Thanks man👍🏼 This was so informative & helpful for me!👏🏼 I don’t have to ask someone to help me, they act like a deer in the headlights!!! Whenever I ask for help! Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you sir! I’m trying to find a good flow transferring video files recorded on my iPhone to my pc, this seems like a better solution that plugging my iPhone directly into my pc, well, wait...maybe iOS 13 made it easier to do that....in the past the video files were scattered into multiple folders
Hey there. I actually use WiFi file sharing most often to transfer large files. I find it quicker and more convenient than any other method. Here’s a video showing the app I use and how to do it. ua-cam.com/video/4oIejCXh1TQ/v-deo.html I also have a door coming out today showing iTunes File Sharing in iOS 13 so watch this space.
yo bro thank you so much, I had to plug my iPhone into the public computer at work and everyone would see all my photos but now I can just use a flash drive instead.
I mean…you couldn’t copy and paste text until half way through the life of the third iPhone. The first two never had copy and paste. Or change your wallpaper. Or Bluetooth a photo to a friend. People think apple are innovative but they aren’t. They make a great user experience, but don’t innovate at anything. And I’ve two iPhones and an iPad so I’m not a hater.
I switched to a droid with a better camera long, long ago for this reason. It was such a first world assumption that everyone always has access to the cloud. I bridge the divide with a droid phone and an iOS tablet.
Just buy a Sandisk/PNY iXpand device. Save your self the headaches with the power supply. Especially if on the go. This video would be a alternative option, which is also not bad.
Agree that the iXpand is a good option. The down side is that it doesn’t appear natively in the Files app. If others are interested, take a look here - ua-cam.com/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/v-deo.html
I bought a 2T portable hard drive and formatted it to xFat on my hp laptop, then transferred files onto it. Bought the hub and the lightening connectors, the apple lightening connector does not have a C end to fit into the ipad. Found another connector that did work and plugged everything in and it read the file that I had transferred. Transferred some more files and now the ipad will not bring up the Toshiba hard drive, won’t read and also my lap top won’t read it now. Stumped as to why it first worked and now it doesn’t.
That’s really odd? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord. More info also here. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi Pete, really good video, thanks for your support, it has made my decision easier. I just have one question, is it possible, with that same adapter to connect a USB mouse and a USB flash drive at the same time, using for that a hub in the adapter? Many thanks!
Of course yes on both, I do have a few brain cells! I did also listen to your video. The drive I am really interested in is a Kingston Hyperx Predator 512GB with 300gb of map/images (I think .gif type) contained in files in turn in a folder. Compiled with a PC from download. But 2 other devices picked from my drawer at random (1TB SS memory drive with nothing or almost nothing on it, and another random smaller thumb drive) also generated NOTHING in the Files app.
It’s a great feature and it will help us, iOS music producers, a lot. You can also hook up an external harddisk via the USB3 Lightning connection kit. Very useful! And a great video, as always, Pete. Greetings, Emiel.
Hi, can you please explain that other lighting cable you plugged in after your phone said not enough power? which one is that? do i need to get this other cable or can i just use the one that came with my iphone? Thanky ou
I’ve been looking into buying a iPhone flash drive, but it felt pointless since I have a flash drive already. So I looked into the Lightning cable adapter and it’s functionality, and is surprising to find out that they just recently included the use of Flash drives. I guess Ill be getting a adapter soon. Thank you for this informative video.
You're welcome. Yes, the new iOS 13 USB drive support has removed the need for any specialist USB drives for iOS. Here's another video which shows a little more if you're interested - ua-cam.com/video/U9FkeTt9dNc/v-deo.html
Hi mate, when I have done this, I have saved the pictures to a usb and then when I wanted to go and view them from the usb on a pc, it says I’m not able to view the pictures / videos. Have you had this happen to you? Please can you help me. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
This is great - thanks for the vid!! Just wondering it it works for transferring SD card to an external hard drive? So I would use the cable (in your vid), a USB port which I have my external drive and SD card reader connected. Can I then transfer the items from the SD card to external drive directly (i.e. bypassing the iPhone storage)? I am hoping this would replace the RAVPower file hub.
Hey there. I have used multiple USB drives at once and used this to transfer from an SD card reader to a USB drive (using a powered USB hub). I haven’t specifically used a setup as you’re described however so. It 100% sure of it would show up. ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
I guess you could see your battery. Latest iPhones have stronger battery and also there are independent batteries you can connect with your phone if you need more power.
Sort of. Apple has weird formats but it’s technically possible. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
I was able to add stuff.. But sadly it doesn’t show where it is on my phone. Sorry I can access the stuff on the usb.. any advice would be really helpful cheers
I've got a 64GB flash drive with USB A on one end and apple lightning on the other. Yet when I plug into either iPhone or iPad, the software says it's offline. Any ideas why? Is it a driver on the USB missing?
Hey there. In my experience any of the aftermarket adapters and cables don't tend to work, which is why I use and recommend the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. ua-cam.com/video/qt6ZczdUdV4/v-deo.html
You should’ve shown how to get into this “browse” mode, people don’t want to watch ten videos to understand this one that contains the answer they’re actually looking for. Anyway, this showed me my new adapter cable was broken since it doesn’t show the drive. Thanks! :)
Thank you!! I am grateful for this video and I will get there because the Comments say it works - but Iyes I do wish there was something before the appearance of the browse shot :) Glad I am not alone! @@PeteJohnsMusic
Nice video but you skipped over the part about getting power into the adapter. What do I need to buy to feed AC power into the port that needs power? I'm not going to buy a battery for that. I like how you respond to each comment and question.
Thanks for watching and for your question Doug. Yes, I didn’t cover all the detail so actually made a follow up video showing this with an iPad which you can take a look at here - ua-cam.com/video/U9FkeTt9dNc/v-deo.html Your power options are an AC power adapter (just the standard USB adapter that comes with any iPhone or iPad for charging), a portable battery, or a powered USB hub. You can also use a combination of these as shown in this video - ua-cam.com/video/k2LpLjHnKGw/v-deo.html I hope these help.
Hey there. It is just the “Files” app. It should already be on your iPhone/iPad otherwise can be downloaded from the App Store for free. Here’s a video with try more info that may help. ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
I have apple Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter and as you show it tells me not enough power, but when I plug in charger doesn’t make any difference - help please
very good video, however, I'm still wondering. I was going to buy a 16gb USB and put tv series on it to watch when I'm away without internet. Will I still have to download individual episodes onto my device before being able to watch? I thought it could stream it direct from the USB as it were? If so I likely won't have enough space to download individual episodes before watching.
Hi there. You can indeed watch videos directly from a USB drive plugged in USB to your iPhone or iPad. This would be a good idea for a future video I think as I get asked this question quite a lot. Here’s another video which you might find useful - ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
Hi Pete Can I transfer all my iPhone photos and videos to my 2TB USB through the same way you have shown? I don’t have a laptop hence can’t use the Apple iPhoto to transfer using laptop. Thank you
If I transfer my photos and videos from my flash drive to my iPhone, will these files automatically be placed in my Camera roll or do I have to press the share button and choose the save option?
Hey there. Yes, you need to share them from the USB drive and select “save to photos”. Here’s a video showing how. ua-cam.com/video/MglPx5FAgqA/v-deo.html
Im sorry I followed the simple step by step instructions also with a brand new adapter and I could not bring anything up into my files. Im using a new iphone 12 . What could be wrong?
You’re using a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter and a powered hub or at least have the adapter plugged in? ua-cam.com/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/v-deo.html
Is it able to retain the properties of iPhone ‘Live’ photos? In the past I have transferred files from my phone to external hard drives but later when I copied back to my Mac the Live Photos became regular jpg pictures.
Can it transfer AudioShare files I’m guessing yes lol I do have a Bluetooth one but sometimes it don’t want to connect so I may plug usb drive or my external hard drive
Hey Andrew. Good to hear from you my friend. Yes, it does support transferring to and form your AudioShare folder. I also love using the WiFi drive option in AudioShare - ua-cam.com/video/4oIejCXh1TQ/v-deo.html
Doesn't work for me. I have the Apple camera adapter, and power connected to it...still get the pop up that says "USB DISK: This accessory requires too much power". I have the iphone 11 running ios 15.4.1...so why wont it work?
Hi bro .. can you transfer video recorded in 4k from the iphone to the memory usb?? I ask because since i update to ios 13 i cant transfer videos that overpass 1 gb .. i have a pc windows.. then im thinking use this way to transfer..
Hey there my friend. I believe this would work but it is quite slow. I like using the WiFi drive function of an app called AudioShare. Check it out here - ua-cam.com/video/FgCTu3gEQBk/v-deo.html
Can I use this method to take a ton of photos to move off my I phone to make space? I am looking at a 256GB flashdrive. I try to save some money because the lightening apple flash drives are about 3 times the cost. IF I can use that converter from your video it should work, right? What is the exact name of that converter?
It’s not necessary to use a custom method for compression? There’s a built in ability via either a long press contextual menu OR by choosing “more”, though siri shortcuts do allow for extended abilities nonetheless.
i can’t do this if i don’t have ios13? my phone doesn’t have anymore space available so instead of transferring files Into my phone i want to transfer pictures and videos Out of my phone and into th flash drive. i’ve seen other types of usbs flash drives without all the extra connections where you directly plug in the usb into the phone and transfer your files but i’m not sure about this because i haven’t seen my much youtube videos on them.
Hey there. Yes, unfortunately USB drives are only compatible with iOS 13. There are devices like the one in this video which may be worth looking at - ua-cam.com/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/v-deo.html
Hello , i have official usb3 lightning adapter and usb stick appears and disappears on my iPhone (iOS 14.5.1) , i use additionnel 29w power usb-c. It’s possible works with a 30W or 61W power adapter ? Ty - I love yours videos 😉
Surely this device and flash memory transfers megabytes each time and stage of this method ,eating up the total capacity of the phone. Saving into phone files adds same chunk into various chosen places. So soon we have to delete masses or buy a bigger memory phone?
Hey there. To download Windows 10 and copy to the flash drive in iOS? Hmmm…. That’s an interesting one. I guess if you could zip your the package once downloaded it would be technically possible??
Hey there. Yes, I believe a USB 3 drive will be quicker but need to do some more testing. I’m still finding using WiFi transfer is much quicker if transferring from a Mac or PC.
Can we share all types files like .text files etc from ipad to pendrive through usb 3 camera adapter . I hope I get reply soon as I am planning to buy ipad 8 gen and 32 GB storage is too low and I can't afford bigger variant
So I have a Y disk and it and it slittle remote control worked fine, but my phone trashed and I can't get it to work or pair up with my new iPhone. What do I do?
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi Pete, sorry don't expect you to be the support for this, but I got one of the Y disk things, came with a dinky remote that allows photos or videos to be taken just by pressing its button. The USB stick and the remote paired up easily to and worked a treat with my iPhone, about a month ago, but since then, my iPhone got trashed, (fell down the loo don't ask) and I now have a replacement running on the same sim card. But the Y disk USB stick isn't recognised and the remote won't pair up. It keeps saying the USB disk isn't plugged in, but it is, and its a brand new iPhone. I've re-downloaded the app but no joy. And I can't find any tech info. (The new iPhone still has a lightning connector btw)
Hey there. You can use wireless USB devices but sometimes they require more power. Check out this video for information - ua-cam.com/video/4ZoSFzSx52I/v-deo.html
They could’ve improved it more by having a popup saying done for video files 🤔 When I was on Android, I was desperate cuz I wanted to download a lot of mp3 files and when I switched over to iOS, life was easy since I had to pay for most of them despite the fact that some songs are unavailable for iTunes (examples: money by mystery skulls, undercover by dr Dre ft snoop dogg, etc.) Also, are mp3 files compatible with GarageBand, and is there a way to see how much power a USB device or card reader takes up?
Hey there. Thanks for your feedback. To answer your questions. 1. No, there isn’t any way to determine how much power a device uses - it will just say “yep”, or “nope” by working or not. 2. Yep, MP3 files are supported for importing in to GarageBand but not exporting. You can covert to MP3 using the method in this video - ua-cam.com/video/QJTu4Fcj_xg/v-deo.html
Hi is there a way to safely eject the external drive from the iPhone, or is it ok to just pull the drive out when it's no longer transferring data? Thanks!
My latest test: I just plugged in my 1st Gen iPod into my 2017 iPad thru the Apple USB 3 camera connection kit. Voila! Worked perfectly. Can play the music thru the iPad from the iPod. One caveat; being so old, the iPod uses short cryptic file names so you never know what’s going to play, but plays perfectly and responds promptly to start, stop etc. good fun!
Wow! You should TOTALLY make a video showing this setup Rick. I would love to see that in action!!
Check out the Lightning to USB 3 adapter on Amazon - amzn.to/2wnyqmL
Took your advice and purchased recommended devices. They worked great with an iPhone 13! Thanks much!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear.
What would be a good idea is to test a few usb keys and make a list of those who do not require too much power from the iphone to work.
It would really be helpful for the consumer to know what usb keys will be compatible with the dongle !

How do you remove the flas stick, just pull it out ? On the computer this process is different
Yeah. There’s no “safe removal” or anything similar required on iOS. Kits make sure any active transfers are done and maybe close any apps to be sure.
Interesting, i knew i can do than on android withoud problem, it's cool i can do than on iphone (the only thing is to use external power)
Yup. It’s not quite as easy as on Android but still good that it’s possible

Yes, it is still not a great solution. Hopeful they continue to improve things.

Hi Pete thanks for the information,but is this thing able to be used to transfer music onto a stick for play in a vehicle etc.
Really depends on the file formats and playback device. A lot of music on mobile devices is copy protected or has DRM so can’t be transferred.
You should’ve shown how to get into this “browse” mode, people don’t want to watch ten videos to understand this one that contains the answer they’re actually looking for.

Pete Johns Totally worth it 🙏
How about play the video without copying to iphone or ipad?
Yup you sure can do this with something like VLC or even just playing via the Files app.
Can you download music files onto a USB stick from an I phone
Yes. Unless they are only in the “Music” app such as iTunes purchases and protected files.
I was wondering can I use this to put games on the usb drive and play then straight from there without installing on phone
Nope. Apps need to be installed via the App Store and only work on the internal storage.
@@PeteJohnsMusic well thanks for you’re reply you helped me decide it’s not for me which in case will save my money
This looks so fun

Amazing video thank's....:)
Thank you my friend. Appreciate your support. 👍
I have apple Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter and as you show it tells me not enough power, but when I plug in charger doesn’t make any difference - help please
I plugged in an apple charger and it seems to be ok
Hey there. Hopefully you’re sorted now but you can use a powered USB hub if you’re still having issues.
very good video, however, I'm still wondering. I was going to buy a 16gb USB and put tv series on it to watch when I'm away without internet. Will I still have to download individual episodes onto my device before being able to watch? I thought it could stream it direct from the USB as it were? If so I likely won't have enough space to download individual episodes before watching.
Hi there. You can indeed watch videos directly from a USB drive plugged in USB to your iPhone or iPad. This would be a good idea for a future video I think as I get asked this question quite a lot. Here’s another video which you might find useful - ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
when You save Photos and Videos in the USB does it keep the Original Date and Time of the pictures taken from the Iphone?
I’m actually not sure? I think it might create a date stamp with the transfer date? 🤔
A solid state thumb drive requires power?! Sure hope Apple does something with that in the future when the phones will have USB-C sockets.
Yes, it’s pretty strange? Apparently on the iPad Pro with USB-C there is no additional power needed? 🤔
Of course it is going to require power. How much will depend on the capacity and probably varies between makes.
nice, but my adapter have just one input, only for usb...
You’ll need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter for some USB drives. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi Pete
Can I transfer all my iPhone photos and videos to my 2TB USB through the same way you have shown? I don’t have a laptop hence can’t use the Apple iPhoto to transfer using laptop. Thank you
Yup. ua-cam.com/video/FcwIv7zZ7J8/v-deo.html
You also need to be able to edit the titles of each file transferred or you get untitled or strange number titles.....
Hi there. Yes, if you’re backing up to USB you will get Apple’s naming conventions and need to edit these.
If I transfer my photos and videos from my flash drive to my iPhone, will these files automatically be placed in my Camera roll or do I have to press the share button and choose the save option?
Hey there. Yes, you need to share them from the USB drive and select “save to photos”. Here’s a video showing how. ua-cam.com/video/MglPx5FAgqA/v-deo.html
Im sorry I followed the simple step by step instructions also with a brand new adapter and I could not bring anything up into my files. Im using a new iphone 12 . What could be wrong?
You’re using a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter and a powered hub or at least have the adapter plugged in?
ua-cam.com/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/v-deo.html
Probably not, Im sending it back and Im going to try an actual Apple product. I have an another adapter for HDMI and it works fine.
I love the shirt, cheers
Haha! Cheers. One of my faves.
How can i eject/remove it safely? I hope you can answer my question, thankyou! :)
Hey there. Not required with USB drives on iOS. Just make sure any transfers are done and then remove.
Is it able to retain the properties of iPhone ‘Live’ photos? In the past I have transferred files from my phone to external hard drives but later when I copied back to my Mac the Live Photos became regular jpg pictures.
Yeah it gets tricky with Live Photos and I haven’t found a really good way outside of iCloud.
Can it transfer AudioShare files I’m guessing yes lol I do have a Bluetooth one but sometimes it don’t want to connect so I may plug usb drive or my external hard drive
Hey Andrew. Good to hear from you my friend. Yes, it does support transferring to and form your AudioShare folder. I also love using the WiFi drive option in AudioShare - ua-cam.com/video/4oIejCXh1TQ/v-deo.html
Can I open third party apps from the app or do I need access it from the files?
Hi there. It will show up as a storage location which you can use in Files, or use from other apps.
Doesn't work for me. I have the Apple camera adapter, and power connected to it...still get the pop up that says "USB DISK: This accessory requires too much power". I have the iphone 11 running ios 15.4.1...so why wont it work?
Bummer. You’re plugged in to power with the adapter too? studiolivetoday.com/usb
Can I use the lightning to USB chord with iphone 8?
For USB? No. You need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter - studiolivetoday.com/usb
Wicked.. Thanks
You’re very welcome my friend. 🙏
Hi bro .. can you transfer video recorded in 4k from the iphone to the memory usb??
I ask because since i update to ios 13 i cant transfer videos that overpass 1 gb .. i have a pc windows.. then im thinking use this way to transfer..
Hey there my friend. I believe this would work but it is quite slow. I like using the WiFi drive function of an app called AudioShare. Check it out here - ua-cam.com/video/FgCTu3gEQBk/v-deo.html
Can I use this method to take a ton of photos to move off my I phone to make space? I am looking at a 256GB flashdrive. I try to save some money because the lightening apple flash drives are about 3 times the cost. IF I can use that converter from your video it should work, right? What is the exact name of that converter?
Hey there. The Sandisk one is what I’ve used before. ua-cam.com/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/v-deo.html
Can we transfer photo files from iPhone to flash drive?
Yup. ua-cam.com/video/FcwIv7zZ7J8/v-deo.html
Does this work for exporting music files onto a cheap MP3 player?
Possibly? Haven’t really tried anything like this sorry.
I have a usb drive formated with exFAT. I can't get any response out of my iphone at all.
That’s strange? Are you using iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 and a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter?
Very nice 👍
Thank you my friend. 🙏
It’s not necessary to use a custom method for compression? There’s a built in ability via either a long press contextual menu OR by choosing “more”, though siri shortcuts do allow for extended abilities nonetheless.
Hey there. Yup, the new built in compression options are very cool! Here’s a video for those new to these - ua-cam.com/video/QzC6J8F5W9M/v-deo.html
i can’t do this if i don’t have ios13? my phone doesn’t have anymore space available so instead of transferring files Into my phone i want to transfer pictures and videos Out of my phone and into th flash drive. i’ve seen other types of usbs flash drives without all the extra connections where you directly plug in the usb into the phone and transfer your files but i’m not sure about this because i haven’t seen my much youtube videos on them.
Hey there. Yes, unfortunately USB drives are only compatible with iOS 13. There are devices like the one in this video which may be worth looking at - ua-cam.com/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/v-deo.html
Excellent
It’s a great feature to finally have!
Greati will follow as such 🙂
👍😎
Hello , i have official usb3 lightning adapter and usb stick appears and disappears on my iPhone (iOS 14.5.1) , i use additionnel 29w power usb-c. It’s possible works with a 30W or 61W power adapter ? Ty - I love yours videos 😉
Hey there. You’ll likely need a powered USB hub like the one I talk about in this one -
ua-cam.com/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/v-deo.html
thanks
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Surely this device and flash memory transfers megabytes each time and stage of this method ,eating up the total capacity of the phone. Saving into phone files adds same chunk into various chosen places. So soon we have to delete masses or buy a bigger memory phone?
Hey there. You can transfer both ways to free up space when you need to.
How can I transfer a song from my Tascam digital recorder to iPhone?
Hey there. So usually you can download digital audio files from a recorder as WAV files and then import them. ua-cam.com/video/PBTz8J5LxeA/v-deo.html
I have a iphone 11 and i record clips for skating/gaming would i be able to transfer videos with this method ?
Yes, it sure will. Here’s a video which shows all the relevant information you will need to know. ua-cam.com/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/v-deo.html
Wish they were a bar or percentage telling how much is left to copy.
Right! You never quite know if it’s actually working or crashed 5 minutes ago!
i don’t know if you still check comments on this but can this work for dowloading windows 10 on a newly built gaming pc?
Hey there. To download Windows 10 and copy to the flash drive in iOS? Hmmm…. That’s an interesting one. I guess if you could zip your the package once downloaded it would be technically possible??
How can we increase the download speed? Use a USB”3” drive?
Hey there. Yes, I believe a USB 3 drive will be quicker but need to do some more testing. I’m still finding using WiFi transfer is much quicker if transferring from a Mac or PC.
Have iPhone 14 Pro with iOS16.2 tried the same as on video, won't work. Any idea how to make it work ?
You’re using the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter? Non-genuine adapters don’t tend to work. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic Yes, it is the genuine apple one.
Can we share all types files like .text files etc from ipad to pendrive through usb 3 camera adapter . I hope I get reply soon as I am planning to buy ipad 8 gen and 32 GB storage is too low and I can't afford bigger variant
Yes. Pretty much any file types can be transferred using a USB drive.
So I have a Y disk and it and it slittle remote control worked fine, but my phone trashed and I can't get it to work or pair up with my new iPhone. What do I do?
Not quite sure what you’re asking sorry?
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi Pete, sorry don't expect you to be the support for this, but I got one of the Y disk things, came with a dinky remote that allows photos or videos to be taken just by pressing its button. The USB stick and the remote paired up easily to and worked a treat with my iPhone, about a month ago, but since then, my iPhone got trashed, (fell down the loo don't ask) and I now have a replacement running on the same sim card. But the Y disk USB stick isn't recognised and the remote won't pair up. It keeps saying the USB disk isn't plugged in, but it is, and its a brand new iPhone. I've re-downloaded the app but no joy. And I can't find any tech info. (The new iPhone still has a lightning connector btw)
How do you safely eject the, in my case sd card?
There is no eject option in iOS. Just make sure transfers have finished and then close the app to be sure.
Hey I’m French sorry for my bad English,😐
Can I plug an USB key for my Bluetooth Headphones on the adapter?
Hey there. You can use wireless USB devices but sometimes they require more power. Check out this video for information - ua-cam.com/video/4ZoSFzSx52I/v-deo.html
They could’ve improved it more by having a popup saying done for video files 🤔 When I was on Android, I was desperate cuz I wanted to download a lot of mp3 files and when I switched over to iOS, life was easy since I had to pay for most of them despite the fact that some songs are unavailable for iTunes (examples: money by mystery skulls, undercover by dr Dre ft snoop dogg, etc.) Also, are mp3 files compatible with GarageBand, and is there a way to see how much power a USB device or card reader takes up?
Hey there. Thanks for your feedback. To answer your questions.
1. No, there isn’t any way to determine how much power a device uses - it will just say “yep”, or “nope” by working or not.
2. Yep, MP3 files are supported for importing in to GarageBand but not exporting. You can covert to MP3 using the method in this video -
ua-cam.com/video/QJTu4Fcj_xg/v-deo.html
Hi is there a way to safely eject the external drive from the iPhone, or is it ok to just pull the drive out when it's no longer transferring data? Thanks!
Just make sure and transfers have been done and close the app if you’re concerned and want to be sure.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you!!
