  1. I just bought a UBS 3 Adapter to use with my iPad for a USB video card. The iPad says “this accessory requires too much power”. What do I do to watch this USB card?

  2. good night friend see if you can help me bought this original Apple USB 3 camera adapter to connect a focusrite 2i4 audio interface, but when I connect my interface on this adapter it does not turn on, even using a powered hub I make all the connection as in your videos and when I connect with the hub the USB cable from the hub to the adapter the hub turns off, I tried to connect a USB stick also in this adapter connected to the iPad and yet no signal the USB stick also does not open on iPad, can help me because I do not know what to do

  3. forgive my iphone ignorance ,
    But if im reading it right , if you have a current or previous iphone , you cannot connect to an external storage device like a usb stick or a samsung solid state drive or equivelent ?
    how do go if you own a pc and buy an iphone and want to transfer some data from an iphone ?
    what if you just want to empty some the data off your iphone onto a portable flash drive ?
    android is very versatile in this area , surely there must be an external flash drive for an iphone ?

  4. Nice. Except u need a powersuply to. I mean come on. Android can do it without a powersuply. Even multiple usb devices without external powersuply.

  5. Why can’t Apple build an external memory/microSD on their devices? Oh yes they can but they just want more money from their beautiful sh..ps.

  6. Good vids mate. I am running an Iphone 7 and IOS 13.1.2 is working fine. However, my IPad Air early gen does not show IPad IOS as a download option. It is stuck on 12.4.2 and although it was advertised as being available (non beta) on 30/09, but nada. What gives mate?
