I don't need this for pictures, but want to be able to transfer files from my usb to iPad 4. Will this do it?

No, nothing will do that. It isn't a capability of the iOS. The only way to transfer files is via services like Deopbox.

Janet, I have not used mine for anything other than picture transfer from camera chips. The description specifically says that it is also capable of transferring files via USB. (And Amazon is great about returns if it doesn't.)

I tried to load a word document and it would not do that. You might check with Sharkk they may know or go to asn apple store they sell usb and sd chip adapters and should be able to answer your questionsGood Luck

It has a USB output from the Camera, Not really sure if an iPad would connect to a regular usb camera, I would guess not but I don't have an iPad.

No, it's used to load pictures to an iPad. What you need is a compact flash USB transfer unit or a micro USB cord that goes from your camera to your computer.

If is a SD memory card, there is an especial adapter to transfer your pictures directly to your iPad, instead of transferring them to the computer and then to the iPad.

Theresa,This adapter works great if you just TRANSFER data.My IPAD and other devices "talk" through this adapter without any problem.I don't own an IPAD 2 or 3 or an Iphone, so I have not tried these but they should work.*** CHARGING is a completely different story ***This adapter's power supply caused a problem to a previous computer, so I have not connected the power supply to this adapter ever since.My PC does not provide enough USB current to charge my IPAD when directly attached to its USB port.Much less when it is attached through this adapter without the help of its power supply. Hope this helps.

Don't know which model you have but the IPAD's that I am aware of do not have a USB port. They have adapters for B to A (large to micro) but I do not think this would work.

NO. iPads do not have USB ports... You can use it with Kindle Fire HD's though.

Yes, I use it to transfer pictures from sd cards to my iPad 2 running on iOS 7. As soon as you plug in the adapter with the sd card, the iPad recognizes it and opens a new category opens up in the default photo app.

No. I don't think so its for transferring photographs from an SD card to your iPad.

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 like thesehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_1_12?k=ipad+sd+card+adapter&spref;ix=Ipad+SD+card

With the iPad, no. The iPad is not USB capable since Apple likes to make their devices crapunique. In other words, no USB port or USB kernel level driver for custom software = never USB on iPad for these applications.With the Paypal Swiper for the computer (USB) it could work, on the iPad no.

Yes, I have an iPad air and use this to transfer photos and video to iMovie on the iPad air. I have successfully transferred from Canon and Olympus dSLR, my iPhone a Contour action cam and various sd and micro sd cards. Just be sure to follow I structions and ignore the message that pops up sYing the dsvice is incompatible. It actually works fine.

IOS7 gives an error message when you initially plug-in the connectivity adapter, but I just bypassed this error message and everything and works fine. I am able to transfer the picture files from both SD and micro-SD cards to my iPad 4. I am also able to connect and use a USB keyboard into my iPad for faster typing.

I don't have an iPad 2 but I do have an iPad and iPhone 4... Works great for charging but no data transfer to computer etc.....

I don't think your Ipad air has a USB port. Most Mac books do and will work with those two hard drives.

Yes as long as its a simple one. If it has a light in it or is some kind of high end one it won't work. This is because apple builds the iPad to only let out a minimal amount of power. So a USB drive that requires power to run, (normally gets power from the computer it's plugged into) will not work with this Sharkk iPad card reader and you will get a error message telling you it requires too much power

Yes it's for external hard drives that are up to 4tbs.It's for android and apple devices. For iPads only pics and video that you take on the device.For android all pics and videos and documents you download from websites or take.
