yep like i'm going to get another expensive cable that will just get in the way when i can just use wireless data transfer and transfer my files to usb or usb flash drives using a wireless usb hub .
Howdy folks. It should be back in stock on Amazon now. It is more expensive than third party options but worth it for the relability in my opinion. And there are WiFi transfer optoins too which can work well when transferring to and from a PC/Mac - ruclips.net/video/FgCTu3gEQBk/видео.html
Your instructional videos were good to begin with Pete, but over the last while you’ve really gone up to the next level. I think they are first class and easily understandable at a pace that is not boring. You don’t skip things but you take each step methodically and explain things crystal clear. I think you’ve found a new groove, Pete. You make world class instructional videos. Kudos and congratulations! 🏆
I used inexpensive lightning adapter from Amazon and transferred very heavy files from IPad to Kingston 128GB SD card ( US$20) Worked perfectly. Unexpectedly fast. Perfect answer to storage problems.
Nice one! Glad it worked out for you. I haven't had a lot of luck with non-Apple adapters, but if it worked for you, that's great! Hopefully it continues working as well in the future. 👍
Ok so I love your explanations: appears wireless Apple has gone BACK TO the early 2000s. I’m okay with that, I remember sooooo much of attaching this port to that port.. it is the only way I feel in control of what I’m working with. Remembering passwords on every electronic tablet etc is exhausting. I’m old school - put this to that, then press done. Ty so much. I’ve been away from my fun projects because of wifi latency, this is my morning oatmeal. Ty again!!! Subscribed
Pete! Great info video for USB transfer from iPad! You totally Rock! I’ve been following you for five plus years starting with Garage Band videos! Have a prosperous 2024 down under!
I normally use the Sandisk iXpand but my new one had suddenly gotten loose on the lighting connector. Everything else connects to my phone so it's the iXpand usb that's busted, so I was looking for an alternative this will be great I think. This is the best video I've seen you explain everything I was googling and more in great detail. Much appreciated mate. Thank you.
Doh! I got so excited to learn I could use external memory devices that I completely forgot about the fat32 format for apple interchange.. 🤦♂️ been using my phone for so much for so many years, not using my pc in forever.. I’ve overlooked some basic knowledge I already had. Thank you as once again, having your videos to reference has saved me major aggravations. I will get back up to speed and catch up with this new media age… I swear 🙄✌🏻
🙏🏻 thank you for the info.. just bought one of these cables... iphone so full can't budge... now if I delete the original photos in my iPhone ... will that delete action on my Iphone then cause the photos (copies ie backups ) in the cloud to also delete when they synch and update .🤔🤔🤔 which storage has priority
Hey there. So iCloud is a little flawed. If you delete on a device it also deletes the backup. 🤦🏻♂️ So you’d need to backup somewhere else (USB drive, google Drive etc) and then delete. Weirdly if you run out of space it will “offload” some iCloud data without deleting it from iCloud. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thank you sooo much, had the problem with lots of photo transfer to external source, but then not remembering which it was. You solved this with the “Album” ….. fantastique
Thanks very much. One question: how long would you expect it would take to download 200 photos from an ipad to a flash drive in the manner you describe? I found that it took over an hour. Is this an expected time?
Yes it’s quite slow due to the USB 2.0 speeds in iOS. These days using cloud storage like iCloud Drive, Google Drive etc is generally quicker and better.
Ipad mini 5 note: You don't get options when you get the "save to files" button. Just press it and when it is ready it takes you to the files page and then you choose to save to the connected USB and then press save on top right. Little different but I might have saved someone an hour 🙂. Thanks for this video.
Pete do you have a video for this please for iPad version 12 as mine is a mini 2 and just bought camera adapter as I want to get photos from Dropbox onto USB. I would be most grateful thank you
Hi there. Unfortunately iOS 12 does not support USB drives at all. You would need to update your device or use a drive like this. ruclips.net/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/видео.html
I have the first iPad pro that came out. I followed your instructions/equipment and haven’t a clue where I’m to go from there. I’ve searched through my settings and don’t find anything that looks like you are showing. Help!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks. Can you please answer my other question? aah it's deleted🤔 Will the one available in apple store allows me to transfer from iPhone to USB? Apple only mentioned that photos can be copied from camera to iphone. They didn't mention other way around. As the link you shared isn't available in amazon, want to try out from Apple store, but want to make sure it works the way you showed in video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been able to don this for a while using a WD WiFi SSD. It’s way better with the files app and USB-C now. I sure hope they give us the ability to actually “transfer” stuff some day. As much as I like my iPad it feels like I’m swimming up stream with data transfers.
Would be nice to see better support. Thankfully there are other optoins and the market will eventually decide which products are worthy of our hard earned $$.
Thanks now I will be able to transfer all my photos of the notes my teachers have written this year on the whiteboard from my school ipad to my laptop so I can return the ipad
Hey there. Yes, any drive will work as long as it is formatted correctly and you have a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb
you have the best explanatory videos. I thank you so much for this. I am just getting started on recording with video and music on a new ipad and iphone so I need this instruction .thank you for actually showing what plugs into what; so many people do not do that! They just say it. I need to see it. so thanks again.
080322/0546h PST 🇺🇸 Greetings from California. Pete, thank you for the tip to DL the images from iPads/iPhones. I saw your presentation only today and soon rushed to store for Sandisk 512 GB. Rest is history. All the images in my devices were copied and retrieved about 25GB space.. No more Apple warning…. Until … thanks mate. Good day…
Thanks a bunch. Great explanation, easy to understand. But i notice that all the pics i transfer do not show the date they were originally taken. Solution? I have 50 gb of pics / videos / screen shots that i am trying to get off my icloud so I can stop paying every month for the storage.
Hey Pete! I was wondering if you might know why my photos and videos won’t display on my laptop? It says file unsupported but they’re fine when I connect the USB to my phone to look at them.
Nope. You'll need something that creates an actual USB bridge instead which allows data transfer, which is why I recommend the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Bought the Apple USB3 and lightning adapter from Amazon as recommended on your link. This adapter is NOT compatible with my iPad Pro 11 (2018). Apparently I need. a usbC adapter. Now what? Will that adapter also need a power port?
Hey there. Yes; newer iPads use USB-C but the good news is you can use pretty much any USB-C adapter to connect. Power management is better but it’s still a good idea to have a powered hub. I talk about my setup here. ruclips.net/video/yzIyqkB-7CA/видео.html
Hi I’m trying to download a video using the adapter with the power plug in it downloads the video but I cannot play it on my Windows computer do you know how. Thanks
Politicians have NOTHING informative to offer any of us..Only lies...to get them to their ultimate target A HIGH pension for doing NOTHING for us...for 4 years...
Finally, my ipad has such terrible restriction settings because of my school, next month I am planning to get a new ipad cause of the restrictions, if you didn’t make this I would’ve lost over 80 drawings, thank you so much, I can’t thank you enough.
I picked up the ORICO usb 3.0 4 port hub on amazon, also a SanDisk T5 1 TB SSD drive and an Anker micro sd usb card reader and iPadOS will mount both and you can copy files back and forth to your heart’s content.
never got my 1tb hard drive to connect but its not ssd and maybe it was taking like FOREVER to finish reading the file structure of the drive on the first go around..... have not tested it again but will one of these days when I feel up to it....
Let me know how you get on Wayne. It seems to be a little random as to what works and what does not. Smaller flash based drives that are FAT formatted seem to be the most reliable.
hi, you mentioned ios 13 on ipad, iphone, is that the minimum, not sure what my friend got but think its only 11 will this not work then? thanks for a good video
Thanks so much! I had no idea how to do this or where to look to see where my flash drive would show on my iphone. I did make the mistake of buying the standard Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with not charging port. Like you said, the USB takes power and it would't work until I bought the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with the charging port, after that, everything worked fine.
I don't get the share sheet, just a list of other options in a small window, nor does it say x number of photos selected even though the blue check mark is on the photos. I get an add to album, but no save to files.
If a person is really worried about totally losing fotos, mention that they can transfer to the 2nd backup prior to deleting from iphone/ipad - this way also helps in the event that the thumb drive is faulty (you would find out prior to deleting the iphone/ipad foto) and nothing would be lost.
I got a scandisk that is SUPPOSED to work for iPad 5th gen, but isn't showing in drive. Tried to download iXpand flash drive app but iPad says no room but have 807MB of iCloud storage remaining. Thughts?Guidance?
Thank you for your clear instructions, I did transfer the photos and videos to the USB drive, but they do not show the date they were taken and that is important for legal reasons. Suggestion please.
I did a photo shoot awhile ago, and did a little networking and lots of ppl told me I need a USB flash drive but How can I transfer photos from usb flash drive to My iPhone? I want to transfer them to my photo gallery
Please can you help me? I have saved some photos & videos to my usb and when I try to view them on my windows PC it says I am unable to view them. Has it’s happened to you / is there a solution please? I have albums made on my phone I.e “family” and I want to save them to my usb so I can view / store them on a usb and pc to free up space on my iPhone and to back them up, but when I try to view them it comes up with the error message saying I’m not able to view / not supported. Any help / advise would me really appreciated. Thanks.
Hey there. You might need an image viewer that supports more file types? Maybe search around online for a free image viewer that can view the types of files. Or use something like Google Photos to share instead.
Thanks for the video! Please tell me how to transfer my Photo & Video Albums to the flash drive. I don’t want to send individual pictures by the thousands, I would like to transfer the already named albums from my iPad to the flash drive. Thanks!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Since Google Photos is now charging after 15GB of storage has been used and I’m almost out of space I’m trying to just transfer albums from my iPad to a flash drive to free up space on my iPad. Is there anyway to transfer Photo albums I’ve already made on my iPad so I don’t have to sort photos & make the albums again on my flash drive?
Windows computers are fine, you just need to ensure your drives are formatted as FAT format and not NTFS. Check this video for details - ruclips.net/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/видео.html
I was wonder if you could answer question for me I don’t have any issues transferring files to a flash drive or a hard drive and moving them from my iPad to my PC. The issue that I’m having is that I get duplicate files. One of the files I can view with no issues. The other file will have the same file name or number but you cannot view it. Is there any way to stop this from happening? Its a pain to delete the unusable files every time I transfer.
Yeah I must admit that I have experienced this recently and not quite sure what’s causing it? It is quite annoying. Hopefully Apple are are and may fix this bug. I would suggest reporting it too.
Hey, :( if the albums are already made which is why I'm looking into the flash cuz clouds arent albumized.... Does it give u the option to transfer album to flash, if album is already made?
@@PeteJohnsMusic hey thanks for replying. I’m in a rut cuz I have an iPad with endless things downloaded on it, photos, videos, my music, my music recordings etc. my friend helped me with all the stuff as I’m not so tech smart, ... I have a 50 gig cloud that is full and my iPad is full, , , now the thing is I put everything in albums on the iPad. However that doesn’t make it albumized on the cloud, so now that my iPad needs updating cuz everything is malfunctioning(messenger etc) I need space to download new apps , software etc. . . .... I know u said in the video that u can transfer photos to lightning port flash drive/hard drive etc. and have the option of putting photos into album at that second of sending photos etc across... but is there options to go and transfer over existing albums? Thank u in advance for you advice that I await humbly .
When importing a large selected group of photos to external flash drive, do your photos remain in sequential orders? I’ve had problem with that using different method. I would like the order of My photos to remain as they were chronologically taken. Thanks so much I’m glad I’m finally getting clued in to this system after much procrastination

I don't get the share sheet, just a list of other options in a small window, nor does it say x number of photos selected even though the blue check mark is on the photos. I get an add to album, but no save to files.
Are you using an iPad/iPhone with the latest iOS version? The Files app was only introduced from iOS 11 so perhaps you have an older device?
Sorry for the obvious stupid question but does this work on version 9. ?
iOS 9? No. Only iOS 13 and above. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic :-(
When all files all transfer to usb drive are they all in order ??
Hey there. You can sort them however you like using the attributes, but. It sure what actual order they are in when you transfer?
I’m having an issue with my files being transferred as HEIC file type, and not a JPEG. Is there anything I can do to have them transferred as a jpeg?
Not natively I’m afraid. Apple changed to HEIC and that’s the standard now.
That was pretty quick and easy. Once my adapter arrived, I followed along and completed the process before the else of the video.
Nice one. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
does this work without IOS 13?
No. USB drive support was added in iOS 13. You might need to explore something like this. ruclips.net/video/Vk3pgwzW7jA/видео.html
Thanks Pete! I like your videos!👍👍👍
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
If a person is really worried about totally losing fotos, mention that they can transfer to the 2nd backup prior to deleting from iphone/ipad - this way also helps in the event that the thumb drive is faulty (you would find out prior to deleting the iphone/ipad foto) and nothing would be lost.
Totally. The more backups and locations the better.
What about the other way round from usb to iPad?
Yup, pretty much the same process. Plenty of other videos here on the channel to help you with this - ruclips.net/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/видео.html
Any kind Flashdrive?
This is my current fave - ruclips.net/video/_BapmrFC7Zw/видео.html
But yes, any will work.
How much external storage we can connect to iphone ❤️
I have used up to 5tb hard drives with no issues. This video may help / ruclips.net/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/видео.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks 😉
Hi pete, thank you for the video. Just wondering why the pics don’t transfer as jpeg? They open as heic how do we get them to be jpeg instead? Thanks
Yeah it uses the native iOS photo format. If you export manually it will convert to jpg but not using this method.
Thanks for replying, is there any way to bulk copy them over in order? I’m trying to get pictures for my sons birthday but they’re all jumbled
This advice is DOPE, thank you good Sir!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
hi can u also import files from usb to ipad?
Hey there. Yes you can. ruclips.net/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/видео.html
Pete Johns thank you 😊
Does this work for more than 5-10 photos, say 155,000 full res photos?
You’d be better off with some sort of cloud storage like iCloud or Google drive with that sort of volume.
I have cloud storage but I’m wanting to download full res photos onto an external hard drive. No one seems to do this. Why is this so complicated?!?!
I have an iPhone 8 with software version 13.6.1 but I’m not seeing these options in my settings 😕
Hey there. Maybe check out this video?
ruclips.net/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/видео.html
Can I select all the photos and videos at the same time? Like 15000?
It's pretty difficult to do any bulk transfers of files I'm afraid.
Pete Johns Right. This is a huge Apple device limitation-unless you also have a Mac. Ridiculous that this lack of functionality continues to persist.
I got a scandisk that is SUPPOSED to work for iPad 5th gen, but isn't showing in drive. Tried to download iXpand flash drive app but iPad says no room but have 807MB of iCloud storage remaining. Thughts?Guidance?
Yeah I haven’t used the gear in a while sorry. Might need to reach out to the company.
Will this work for ipod touch 5th gen?
Hey there. No, only devices which support iOS 13, which is only the iPod Touch 7th gen.
Oh ok it can be any kind of flashdrive correct
How do I program the flash drive ?
Hey there. This video will help / ruclips.net/video/WV4E_8UHCjA/видео.html
I wish I could like 1 million times. I’ve watched too many videos, and thee are too many steps or too much talking, yet no good results. 💚💚💚
Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words. Bookmark this web page for future reference in case you have issues on the future. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Thanks this works great. I already had the adaptor for a different need.
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Thank you for your clear instructions, I did transfer the photos and videos to the USB drive, but they do not show the date they were taken and that is important for legal reasons. Suggestion please.
Yeah not sure about this sorry. Maybe try using iCloud Drive instead.
I did a photo shoot awhile ago, and did a little networking and lots of ppl told me I need a USB flash drive but How can I transfer photos from usb flash drive to My iPhone? I want to transfer them to my photo gallery
Hopefully this helped. More info here. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Please can you help me? I have saved some photos & videos to my usb and when I try to view them on my windows PC it says I am unable to view them. Has it’s happened to you / is there a solution please? I have albums made on my phone I.e “family” and I want to save them to my usb so I can view / store them on a usb and pc to free up space on my iPhone and to back them up, but when I try to view them it comes up with the error message saying I’m not able to view / not supported. Any help / advise would me really appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry i forgot to add, that I can view them when I re plug my usb into my phone but not on my pc.
Hey there. You might need an image viewer that supports more file types? Maybe search around online for a free image viewer that can view the types of files. Or use something like Google Photos to share instead.
Great Channel Pete Lots of great info
Cheers Bill. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
how do you just unload all of your photos to the flash drive ( thousands ) in one shot instead of clicking on them one at a time ?
Yeah unfortunately Apple don’t support that natively. You might need to look for third party app.
Hi Pete ,can you re-upload again the photo you transfer from I phone to USB drive to I phone .
You can copy it to the Files app but I don’t believe you can copy back to the photos app.
Can you do it with a hard drive
Yup - ruclips.net/video/zW-yOzVQXrc/видео.html
Thanks for the video! Please tell me how to transfer my Photo & Video Albums to the flash drive. I don’t want to send individual pictures by the thousands, I would like to transfer the already named albums from my iPad to the flash drive. Thanks!
Yeah it’s quite challenging to copy a large volume of photos. I would use something like Google Photos to backup and transfer photos.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Since Google Photos is now charging after 15GB of storage has been used and I’m almost out of space I’m trying to just transfer albums from my iPad to a flash drive to free up space on my iPad. Is there anyway to transfer Photo albums I’ve already made on my iPad so I don’t have to sort photos & make the albums again on my flash drive?
Do you have to have a iMac for this or can it be a windows computer
Windows computers are fine, you just need to ensure your drives are formatted as FAT format and not NTFS. Check this video for details - ruclips.net/video/3B7VPYe5rZc/видео.html
I was wonder if you could answer question for me I don’t have any issues transferring files to a flash drive or a hard drive and moving them from my iPad to my PC. The issue that I’m having is that I get duplicate files. One of the files I can view with no issues. The other file will have the same file name or number but you cannot view it. Is there any way to stop this from happening? Its a pain to delete the unusable files every time I transfer.
Yeah I must admit that I have experienced this recently and not quite sure what’s causing it? It is quite annoying. Hopefully Apple are are and may fix this bug. I would suggest reporting it too.
I’ve had this happen so many times and have researched some but have yet to find a reason or solution 🙁 drives excellent nuts
Hey, :( if the albums are already made which is why I'm looking into the flash cuz clouds arent albumized.... Does it give u the option to transfer album to flash, if album is already made?
Not quite sure what you’re asking sorry?
@@PeteJohnsMusic hey thanks for replying. I’m in a rut cuz I have an iPad with endless things downloaded on it, photos, videos, my music, my music recordings etc. my friend helped me with all the stuff as I’m not so tech smart, ... I have a 50 gig cloud that is full and my iPad is full, , , now the thing is I put everything in albums on the iPad. However that doesn’t make it albumized on the cloud, so now that my iPad needs updating cuz everything is malfunctioning(messenger etc) I need space to download new apps , software etc. . . .... I know u said in the video that u can transfer photos to lightning port flash drive/hard drive etc. and have the option of putting photos into album at that second of sending photos etc across... but is there options to go and transfer over existing albums? Thank u in advance for you advice that I await humbly .
Will this work for transfering photos from an iPhone ? Or just an iPad?
Works with iPhone and iPad the same way. 👍

@@PeteJohnsMusic thank you very much sir. Your so very kind. Godbless 🤘🎸
Does this works on IpadOS 14.1 ?
Yup, sure does!
When importing a large selected group of photos to external flash drive, do your photos remain in sequential orders? I’ve had problem with that using different method. I would like the order of
My photos to remain as they were chronologically taken. Thanks so much I’m glad I’m finally getting clued in to this system after much procrastination
Yeah I must admit that I use Google Photos mostly these days as I find the USB method does mess with dates and formats.
Hi, I have iPad Pro . Version 14 . I got flash drive and connector from link you provided. When I connect file don’t show about time !! Am I doing something wrong ?? Please guid.
