I have an IPad Mini and a memory card reader .. Can I use this to connect the lightning cable to the memory card reader?

The answer to your question is NO. Why? Because there two issues, you will be facing 1) your Apple Device(iPod Mini) will not accept an external device ( memory card reader) to be connected to it. Why? a) As a safety measure, to protect your device from external threats, like Viruses, Worms, Miners Snoopers etc etc that may infect your device and render it useless All iPads, iPad Minis, iPods, iPod Touch will fall under this category. But, it is possible to download images from any newer digital cameras, into your Apple Device through the normal USB cable, connected to the Camera. Remember, ONLY if the USB cable is connected to the Camera and the Camera switched on. 2) The female USB connecter is; therefore, is of no use for you, for above procedure. If you are trying to download images (which I think you are) that you have captured through your Camera, then you may proceed the way I have mentioned above, using the original Camera USB cable and a 8 pin lightening to OTG Camera adapters or iPad Mini or iPad. The Camera adapter is available at AMAZON costing about, $14. I bought this adapter from AMAZON and Camera downloads are smooth. Please get it. I hope, I have been as elaborate as possible and hope you understood the description. If you have any further doubts or need additional clarification, then please do not hesitate to write to me, through AMAZON. Cheers Sincerely Kumar

This will not connect directly to an Ipad. You will need to add a standard USB connection to the proprietary connection of your Ipad. If you simply want to transfer SD card info to/from device there are a lot of better options

I believe that the ipad mini has the lightning plug-in. This has the 30 pin adapter so it will not work.

Not directly. This cable has a standard micro USB connector, but Apple uses a proprietary plug. You should look for another adapter with an Apple 30 pin dock adapter for a 4S or older iPad or Lightning plug for a newer iPad.

Sorry, but no. The small end is the connector for your iPad. The larger end is a standard female USB connector. You would need a card reader and a standard USB cable in addition to this adapter.

If i'm not mistaken, the ipad mini needs a lightning adaptor. This adaptor has no way of connecting to the mini as it uses a micro usb and the old ipad/ipod connector (female). So, the short answer is, no.

What device are you trying to connect? This hub is for connecting a camera or camera card reader only. It will not work to connect any other USB device to your iPad. I've used this on a first gen iPad to connect to an Olympus camera and transfer photos, no problem. I've also used it to connect a J5 Create Wormhole to link to a PC keyboard - that was just an experiment with no real utility, but it worked because the iPad treats the Wormhole as if it were a camera.

No - this cable has a micro-usb connector. iPads, depending on model, require either the Apple 30-pin connector, or the new Lightning connector (4th gen and mini models).

No, you would need a lightning adapter. I think there may be a model that fits the 30-pin connector.

To use with the new iPad 3rd & 4th generation and the iPad mini, you must purchase the 30 pin to lightning connection adapter, otherwise it won't work.

Yes it will work with the square card reader. If the square will fit in the Ipad Mini then the adapter will also. Hope this helps.

If it is the lightning adaptor you are inquiring about the answer is no. You will have to buy one from Apple. Still works great with the adaptor.

I see no reason why not. The Lightning cable is what's actually being plugged in and there's plenty of room front and back to accommodate many types of cases. It's flexible, and there's no electronics as a part of it, except perhaps the audio plug which I put in the down position so it doesn't engage (I use Bluetooth.) There's not much to go wrong. My iPad Mini Retina is in the dock charging right now, normally my iPhone 5. I imagine an iPad Air will work also. In addition to the Lightning cable, an appropriate power adapter will also be needed - as stated in the ad. The way it's built it's taller than I'd like,and the metal base is held on by a magnet and will sometimes come off when disconnecting the phone from the plug, but it easily reattaches. It does the job for me. If it's not as advertised, return it. I doubt you will need to.

My 1st gen iPad mini worked with it using a 30pin to lightning cable. Haven't tried my iPad mini retina with it yet but I think it would work too.

If you have the iPad with the new "Lightning" connector (it's the really small looking one), then no. Sorry!

No this will not. the iPad Mini uses the 8-pin lightning cord for charging.

No. Your best bet is to get a genuine MB media interface cable for 30 pin. Get a 30 pin to lightning adapter. This works great.
