Nice Jacob! One thing I noticed a couple years ago when using my Audio Technica USB Mic is that when the iOS device is fully charged the Mic would work but if the iOS power was less than 50% I got the incompatible error.
+Jay Noggle Yeah I've noticed similar stuff too with external gear that isn't designed specifically to be connected with iDevices. I think I could be that iOS either limits or strangles power output completely when battery is below a certain level.
Good advice. I have a whole drawer full of cables, adapters and dongles of various flavours. I have a purge occasionally but I swear they are breeding. My latest fun controller is a Novation Launchkey Mini ... I just plug it in and it works, no power needed and very well integrated with the Launchpad app ... Hassle free, no creative blocks, love it.
+TheVimFuego I also love the non-hassle types of setups. It's why I've got IKM stuff. Ships with lighting cables for connecting directly without a CCK. They're also very low on power consumption.
As most people have hinted previously, the simplest workaround is to use a USB hub, even if its not powered. That seems to get the ipad to recognise the MIDI device without any issues. Some apps like digital synths will require that you go into the settings to enable your MIDI controller as an input device.
Bro i owe you.
I didn’t know why my launchpad wasn’t working then I watched this vid and it helped. Keep up the great vids!
👍👌💯💯👏
My pleasure! Hey Btw, I recently made a more complete video on this topic that include all issues regarding this error pop up and how to solve them. You might want to give it a check: ua-cam.com/video/SCp-0UlsH_Y/v-deo.html 👍🏼
After searching through tons of videos, this helped my problem
Hahaha this is an old video but I actually tried this today!!! Bought a Focusrite Solo, tried to plug it into iPad Pro lightning version and NOPE! Power no good....I watched videos and videos and everyone said “get the Apple Camera Connection Kit”...I find one at 4.30 in the afternoon, race to the shop to get it...get home, have dinner, go and set it up and NOPE!!!!!! Power no good. Still.
So the first one didn’t work for me. Now I’m searching for answers and here I am hahaha...an it looks like the final answer on this is a “no” (for me) hope it’s worked for others 👍
You make great videos man! I’ve learned a lot from you over the years. Cheers!
An unpowered USB hub also works as I believe it overrides apples power output limitation
+IMaiden89 You are correct! It works for me to when I use up to two devices. When adding third one, things starts to go wrong though.
I made a live stream today in where I am extensively testing different "dongle configurations" including USB hub powered/in-powered, CCK, USB3 to Lightning and different chargers.
I got some very interesting results! The video is being processed by UA-cam right now, but as soon as it's done it will be available on my channel. ;)
Jakob Haq hello there do you know if your iPad will have to be jail broken for the unpowered sub hub to work
Jeremy Joanes it does not have to be jail broken.
Tomorrow I'm buying the Arturia Minilab MkII mainly to be used on the iPad and I was shocked at the Price of the Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter, a whopping 40€, and this video made it clear that you really want to use the Apple gear, as apple gear itself can already cause issues, Im sure that if I use some cheaper variant I will just get into more issues.
So tomorrow I'm going to spend 139€ for the Minilab and the adapter.
One thing I always question myself is why Apple doesn't call it a powered "OTG" lightning adapter, but I guess OTG is trademarked.
To bypass this w/out charger you should get usb 3.0 hub as Apple cable with check power usage on first connection but not second. I did this with my DragonFly Black: Apple cable -> usb 3.0 hub -> DragonFly and it works well
I've had that problem with an icon USB midi controller. It worked fine with iOS 9 but is useless under iOS 10. I could understand if Apple produced their own midi devices for use with iPads and wanted to protect their business, but it's annoying and expensive when peripherals become obsolete within a few weeks.
+Alan Wilton I totally agree! I wish they would stop breaking stuff with every update.
Im tempted to get rid of my iPad and get a Samsung tablet. This is rediculous. Tired of these issues.
Good video, by chance, would you know if beheringer umc22 will work with my ipad air 2 using this usb 3 adapter? Im plannong to buy this interface so much....thanks in advance
Thank you! Unfortunately I do not now I the Behringer umc22 will work with iPad or iPhone. This interface is unknown to me and I haven't come across anyone else within the mobile musicians community that uses it. Sorry I can't be more of help. I suggest that you ask around on the Audio Bus forum and/or in the iPad musician group on Facebook. These are the biggest forums for mobile musicians.
Jakob Haq appreciate it will follownyour advice but forbthe last time, what ipad are you using on this video? If you dont mind...after this still a great help as i will just find out if umc 22 is compatible with ipas or ios
you... thank for the help.. the way a fix my problem with the message. . was. i got the lighting usb3. and now i can use my akai mpk 261 without power to it.
+colas solorzano YAY! 😃👍🏼 That makes me so happy to hear! Have fun making music!
thank u sir.
thanks for u help..
+colas solorzano My pleasure! Just happy to help out! =D
Thank Jacob! Just plugged my Novation Impulse into Gadget!
+portwain So nice hearing that! I'm happy I could help! =D
So your saying I spend £90 on a blue yeti and £10 on an adapter and now I have to buy something else 😭😭😭😭😭
I FEEL YOU!! Apple can be terrible
So, what if I still continue to have the message even if I plugged the power? I’m just trying to plug a usb stick it still doesn’t work... Any advice?
Great, I use both options, but the usb3 from Apple is better if you don't absolutely need a hub. Simplicity rules.
+ElSmusso I agree! Simplicity rules.👊🏼👍🏼
ffing Apple .... jeeezzzz. The ONLY device on the planet doing this.
Thanks for you, this video it is a most clear video about OTG end usb drive. so OTG = trash. We can buy only to Iphone compatibility accessories usb store.
Thank you! However this video was getting old so I made a new video on this topic that is way more up to date and provides much more detailed information. ua-cam.com/video/SCp-0UlsH_Y/v-deo.html
Essential video
+thesoundtestroom Thanks Doug! =D
I noticed I have this problem especially with my Focusrite if my iPad IS fully charged. That's when I'll get that "device requires too much power" thing. And I always use the adapter thing with a charger plugged into it. Any idea why that might be?
just bought a lightning usb adapter now i have to get one of these
Game Glitch Mobile sameeeee
Samme
@@JADENHARDYSUCKS save send the link to the other thing
Good video. I've always bought Samsung for the reason it doesn't work to well with iPhones.
The weird thing is it worked before and suddenly my MPK Mini doesn't work.
I just bought the USB-A adapter to use my Fender Mustang Micro interface. I just got the message today saying “too much power…”
Does this mean I have to charge the USB-A? If so, how can I do that?
This is a huge problem for the iPad Air 3, i haev tried powered usb hubs with the usb3 adapter with not much luck, I would stop getting the power requirement error but the device was intermittent in functionality, I tried connecting 3 different usb mics, they would be recognized and then disconnect, tried usb camera and same result, I think maybe the lightning adapters do not work as well as the newer iPad devices with USB-C.
It turns out that the USB3 to Lightning adapter isn't the best choice for this type of stuff! I made a live stream today in where I am testing different "dongle configurations" including powered and non-powered USB hub, CCK, USB3 to Lightning adapters, even different chargers. Watch the video here: ua-cam.com/video/9H0jnRtblE4/v-deo.html
*subbed* much love from vancouver
Thank you! 👊🏼
super helpful - thank you!
Nice video! Any idea if i can connect a mixer to the iPhone 8 with this adapter a go on facebook live?
Technically it should work yes, as long as the USB mixer you want to use is "class compliant". Meaning no drivers are needed. The reason I can say for sure is because I've never tested connecting anything to an iPhone 8 and so I cannot confirm anything.
really helpful video but i dont get the path when you're using the USB hub? Device to hub and ipad to hub as well? but then you wouldnt need a lightning adapter? still cant get it to work. pls help! i'm trying to use a SE X1 USB mic and i can see that it has power but my phone wont recognise it and only uses built in mic. without the USB hub i get the not enough power message...
You’re a life saver !!
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro what charger/adapter do I need?
How if it is an Ipad-2? Is there any camera con. kit that has power supply port? Or should I use the Usb power hub?
2 weeks ago I bought a power usb hub but the notification still appeared
I have one of those powered adapter, but it still doesn't work. Maybe my charger is just crap.
I still get the message with a powered usb power strip and the camera adapter connecting an APK MINI
It's sending the message even when the device is powered by batteries. It used to work but not now for some reason
help me anyone.. after update to ios 15.. iphone canot use lightning camera usb .. i dont hear my voice feedback in garageband..the option is missing.. only have option voice noise cancelation
Right, I bought the camera adapter with the lightning input but the message still shows up. I'm using the zoom h2n. Why won't it work? It's infuriating
Awesome advice cheers
I had the same problem but solved with the retronyms wej now i have a korg nanokontrol an arturia keystep via bluetooth
hello friend, good video, i hope you can help with a problem, could you explain why, when I connect the iPad 2 AIR with the camera adapter (not the original, but it especifically says taht this device works for USB/MIDI interface), with the Focusrite 2i2, the following message appears "it does not have enough power" despite having connected the iPad to the power adapter?.
My current version of IOS is 11.4.1
hello what is the name of the product? I badly need this pleasee
Thank you very useful
That's awesome and it worked !
Hey jakob. So im using auria. I have a few questions. Is there a mini sampler in auria like cubasis has. Also when recording ive had bamds come to me with have a song or parts of songs on a usb stick. How can i get music from a flash drive into auria or cubasis. Thanks brother. Love you vids
I'm having an issue with recording with my iPad using usb C camera cable and focusrite interface... when I plug it in its making a "Beat" sound that goes with the red light on focusrite Scarlett 2i2 .. and No it's not a metronome and no I did not assign a beat
Aw, that sounds like you e got a USB-ground loop issue or something along those lines. I have not yet found a really good way of solving it. I’ve been wanting to do a video about it but I can’t until I know exactly what to tell my audience. At least now you now what to ask about. Try asking around audio based forums and describe it just like you did here and say that you think it’s a USB ground loop issue.
I get the message iPhone does not support this accessorie I bought a third party cck and it works but then displays the message very annoying I'm wondering if connected to hub may work or it may be my wire faulty
Thank you so much
I just want to connect my lightning but it doesn't allow me. When I connect my headphones, music coninues to play on speakers. Please help me
Hello I’ve to connect the apogee Duet to usb to lightening 3 adapter with my iPad Air 2,but it’s not working.......please help me out🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi! I don’t have access to an Apogee Duet so I can’t test it myself but it should be compatible with iPad Air. Make sure the connection order is done properly. Make sure the Duet has the wall-power supply plugged in first. Then connect the Duet USB cable and Apple charger cable to the USB3 to lightning cable. When all that is hooked up, try connecting it to the iPad. If you get errors then unplug the lighting connector and reboot the iPad.
.
When the iPad has rebooted try connecting the lighting connector again. This should work. However if it doesn’t then here are some known issues:
.
Third party connectors USB3 to lighting and CCK’s need to be MFi certified (this is why I use Apples original products). Same with the lighting charger cables and Apple charger. If you own third party connectors or lighting connectors then those might be causing the connection errors if they aren’t MFi certified.
.
It’s very likely that these are causing the errors. If your using original stuff then another known error is iOS itself. Whenever a big new update rolls out (iOS10, 11 now 12 ...) stuff usually breaks. Apps stop working and connectors too.
.
In this case there ain’t much o e can do except wait for Apple to get their shit together and start rolling out bug fixes. This is why I always wait at least 6 months before even considering updating to a new iOS. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
.
I would really appreciate it if you come back here and comment about your testing. It’s not only helpful to me but to others reading the comment section too. 👍🏼
Great! thanks
One discovery I've made is that, sometimes, just unplugging and plugging it back in again can somehow bypass the problem.
Can I connect wired keyboard to iPad Air?
I still got message after connect the chargers
Will it work with a keyboard and mouse
For me it does this even when my iPad is at 100%... and I don’t have one of those bigger camera chords or the USB port so really I’m stuck. Those camera chords are quite hard to find in New Zealand, at least for me. Does anyone have any advice about how I could fix this without buying a USB port or a bigger camera chord?
I want to help but you need to provide more information. What are you trying to connect? Midi controller, sound Card? What's the brand and model? What model iPad are you using and what iOS version is it running? Also, are you using an original Apple Camera Connection Kit or an unofficial third party brand connector?
Jakob Haq Hi, sorry about that, I’m trying to connect a microphone by behringer and it says c-3 on it. The USB connector (sorry I’m not too advanced with technology) that I’m using to try and plug my mic into my iPad is by MobilePre, more commonly known as M - audio. My iPad is an iPad Air 2 pro and I’m running on iOS 11. I’m pretty sure the camera chord is an official one, I don’t know how to check haha
Also, I have no trouble connecting my MIDI keyboard into my iPad using the camera chord. Just thought that might help.
Does this work with ios 12?
Cassandra San Antonio yes
You’re awesome Man, thank you so much for your videos, this is exactly the simplicity of explanation needed to understand all this stuff. I am so grateful I found your channel 🙏
My pleasure! I know how frustrating these errors and issues can be. ☀️
Does it works with ps4 wired controller
Does it work without the charger plugged in? As unpowered usb hubs do..
It pretty much depends on how much power the USB-pheriperal draws. I have a great video where I’m talking demonstrating this! ua-cam.com/video/u2ZdCrqVn8Y/v-deo.html
oh look at this dongle mess! LOL
It didn’t work for me but I’m using a midi keyboard via usb
Still not able to. Maybe my iPad battery is currently 58%
My duet 2 was working flawlessly with my ipad for 2+ years, now it doesn’t work. Wtf apple. I have the duet plugged into the wall and everything.
im confused, can anyone help me? I plugged in my midi controller (code 49) into a USB Hub that is connected to the wall power source. I also have a Lightning to USB 2.0 Female adpater plugged into my iPhone 6s. Now what do i plug into my 2.0 adapter that will go into the usb hub? Im trying to make this work without buying a whole new seperate 3.0 adapter. SOMEONE HELP!
When you purchased the USB hub a cable should have came bundled up with it. That cable usually has a mini USB connector at one end that goes into the hub. And he other end has a regular USB make connector that goes into the Lightning connector.
I had a simple thumb drive I was trying to get dads off of. Wouldn’t work.
It won’t work for iPhone 6...
I used the usb camera didn’t work. Why?
For real we got the same situation,i don’t what to do....
I bought a generic brand usb hub, it didn't give any power even if i plug a better power supply. My iphone simply doesn't even recognize.
I made a new video just a few Seems ago where I go through all issues with connecting external USB to iDevices. There are Five reasons why it won’t work and if you check it it will be easier for you to “debug” your connection error > ua-cam.com/video/SCp-0UlsH_Y/v-deo.html
What if you don’t have a power USB hub??? Plz someone
Make sure you watch this video instead as it’s up to date: ua-cam.com/video/SCp-0UlsH_Y/v-deo.html
.
To answer your question, if you watch the video I linked to and you realise that you really need a powered hub because you don’t have enough power to get the connection going ... well then you need to get a powered USB hub.
Prompt
Duck spit it out!!!!
Hi bro my ipad aint saying that
Bruh I need that to play with my controller if it works
I aint a music magician, PUBG Mobile gamer using a keyboard & mouse

That intro!
+Joe O'Hagan Glad you like it Joe! I made the animated logo using LumaFusion and the music using Poison-202 inside Cubasis. Maybe I should make a tutorial for stuff like this?
Jakob Haq please do!
I kissed the screen thx
😂 Thank you! If you’re somehow still having issues after this video then check this one out. I made it more recently and it’s more complete with more detailed info. It’s a pain these things really. >>> ua-cam.com/video/SCp-0UlsH_Y/v-deo.html
Does the usb 3 have to be Apple brand?
So let me clarify why I recommend buying the original stuff. I would never recommend third party adapters and Lightning cables unless they are MFi certified. MFi certification means “Made For iPhone”. Basically a third party company that want to make third party Apple pheriperals that are truly compatible with iDevices (iPhone and iPad) has to pay a license fee to Apple.
.
When they do that, Apple will provide them with the right type of code and materials to make adapters, cables etc. So if the company can prove that their dongles and cables are MFi certified then yeah, third party stuff will work fine with your iDevice. However there are a lot of real cheap dongles and cables floating about on market places like Amazon for instance.
.
Now these might work for a while but as soon as Apple updates iOS then the product might (very often) stop working. This is a very common thing and I get loads of viewers asking me about this all the time.
.
This is because these cheap adapters and cables aren’t MFi certified. So a cheap connector or cable might save you money until you have to buy a new one because he old one stopped working after an update or it just broke because of poor build quality.
.
This is why I recommend getting he original stuff. So if you still want to get third party stuff then when it comes to adapters, I’d recommend Belkin. For lighting cables I’d recomend Anker. Those companies make MFi certified products.
Btw, it's only apple products that does this lmao I've spent $90 on my adaptor and microphone and they camd to no use lmao
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, what charger adapter do I need?
Thank you !
Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot!
