Re formatting SD cards
Jul 20, 2020 19:43:21 #
Friends,
downloaded an SD card to an IPad using an Apple Card reader dongle. All photos transferred but none of the video did.......what am I missing here. Need to do this to three more full SD cards as I’m re formatting to have clear SD cards for upcoming vacation.
Thanks,
Coonman

Apple, IMHO, is a pain in the ass when it comes to copying video files to the internal memory. They want you to buy them via iTunes, not D/L anything that they cannot monetize.
I solved the problem by loading movies, that I already own and can make archive copies for my own use, to a LaCie Boss USB HD, and play them via the DJI Boss Utility.

What is the video format? MOV might work, as that is native Apple QuickTime. I would bet that no Microsoft or Intel format would work.
iOS and iPadOS operating systems are walled gardens meant to keep out malware and viruses. Because of that, they are among the most secure environments in computing. But they do frustrate users who are used to navigating deeply into computer operating systems. Something like the drive rgrenader mentioned is a better solution for video that isn't compatible... It may be a better solution anyway.
Of course, if you don't have a computer at all... THAT's a problem.

I appreciate all the responses....thank you
I simply inserted the SD card into the Apple reader, inserted the dongle feed to the lightning port and opened the photo app, activated the import function and it took all photos as I had selected “all photos” option.
Loaded quickly, but still no videos
thanks,
Coonman

I found this article here on the Hog. Tells a lot, much I did not know the details about memory cards and things about them. The last part is on deep formatting. Never herd of it and frankly the information is at best useful, as to how to do a deep formatting that I am contact a good friend who is a real information source, who will explain the what and the actual how to.

I love these geeks who do not now how to properly communicate their knowledge, yet I am grateful that someone pointed out this computer basics.
So the real answer is that one needs to do a deep formatting of your memory card to correct the problem.

We old geeks call it low level formatting.
"Deep formatting" sounds much more, impressive.......

Yes, that phrase was in the article, but being dyslexic most terminology just does not register in my brain. Your reference is the common or correct phrase. I had never read about the 'low level formatting' idea. Makes sense.

Probably so, I just don't know about all these things. It's all science or engineering, not my strong suite.
So it is probably true, but then again you have stated a factual point, while some one like myself has no reason to understand what it is that your statement means. So thanks from all of the people who do not understand all of this, but you have not helped myself or others to understand that knowledge that you have.
This is not offered in anger, just letting you know that you have not added to the discussion. Perhaps in future you can help others like my self by sharing your information with the lesser informed individuals here, that would be helpful.

The problem is that there is so much information on the net that is an "interpretive" opinion, but so many people take it as gospel, and it propagates.

The net-net is that the OP cannot import videos to his IPad from his camera, although he can import still images - that is the problem. He wants to move the images to the IPad so he can “erase” the card (by formatting it) for future use. Does that help?

If there was a problem with the card format, nothing would work right.

If one reviews the article that I posted a reference to, the last part of the article identifies that one should format the media in the camera that one is using. I have read references to this in many information locations about the memory card. Further there is in the posted information that there is a 'formatting' procedure that removes all data and that one needs to then format the memory card in the camera one intends to write files too. This last 'formatting' is to be done with a computer that clears the data and 'memory' in a rather invasive fashion so that new files will not become corrupted.
I believe what is in the article that I referenced as I have a rather large memory card that was used in a video camera. I have tried to format the card in two different digital cameras and in the separate PC and none of the formatting have worked. Now I am looking for the use of the more advanced formatting but do not know how this is done with a computer to format cards to remove information that standard camera formatting achieves.
