Hey Gang,

Apple support page says it will load files from 'digital cameras' via the USB camera...

I have some action cams i was hoping i could transfer with, that have mp4 files on them but they never show up...

my action cams are just knock offs, wondering if gopro allows the files via the usb/SD card adapter?

Any workarounds one can think?

(my other problem - airdrop will ever only recognize my ipad one way, but iphone no problem) '' so frustrating...

thanks a lot of responses and support

If you look at the contents of a card from the camera using a Mac or PC, are the files stored in a folder labeled DCIM? Not sure about the USB adapter, but the Apple SD card reader requires that files to be downloaded reside in a DCIM folder (which is standard practice). Just a possibility to look at.
