WHeni try and use the apple watch, I double click and the card comes up but the message "hold near reader" has disappeared. I think it has something to do with assistive touch. If I turn this on and click on the crown a couple of times, the message comes up, but when I turn it off, after a while it disappears. And whether I leave it off or on it eventually disappears again.
Try going into your assistive touch settings on your watch app on your phone and turn off confirm with assistive touch. Restart both phone and watch and then double check that confirm with assistive touch is still off. Worked for me.
Thank you so much. This has been driving me nuts for months. Asked a buddy to show me his watch after double taping and realised the "hold near reader" was missing. I also had tried out assistive touch but might wait for a few versions before trying again. This easy solution fixed it.
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to use your Apple Watch to pay for items using Apple Pay. We can understand why you'd reach out for a solution.
Safari's Reader feature is a cool little app that displays a web page as a newspaper article --- without all the distracting sidebars, comments, and ads. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and I'm wondering how "it knows when to show up." On my personal website, one of the pages has this option. You can click the Reader button in the URL bar and it is displayed beautifully like a page in an iBook. However, none of my other web pages (on the same site) do this. I thought it had something to do with the tag, but I removed that and it still works. Anyone know how this app works?
It looks like that Safari Reader will detect a or block level element that contains a header element ( to ), followed by a certain amount of text. The reader badge will appear when the content text (not including the header) is more than 2,000 characters.
Installing the plugin gives you a toolbar button next to the address bar that you click to view a "clean" version of the page and which includes a few GUI tweaks for low light or background color change if beige offends your sensibilities, as well as a button to copy the cleared page to an Evernote Notebook.
Since the Apple Watch has nowhere near the space of an iPhone, VDR requires you to move the files you want to your reading list. To do this, go to edit mode and select the files you want. Activate the button that says 'reading list and an alert will appear, asking you to select whether you want to add it to the top or bottom of the list. Once you've done this, you'll be able to open the apple watch app and listen to it. It will ask you where you want to play the audio and once you select that you should be good to go..
I'm new to APP for iPad and I'd like some advice please on workflow. My typical situation is I'm away from home, don't have a laptop and would rather avoid having to upload any unedited images to any Cloud service just so I can re-download them and edit them, then presumably have to re-upload them. I just want to send either an out-of-camera JPEG or RAW from my SD or XQD card to APP or at least be able to choose in APP whether I want to edit the JPEG, RAW or both (one after the other, to compare and contrast).
At the moment, the Apple card reader does import the photos into the Photos App, though I'm unsure whether it's both the RAW+JPEG (my old iPad's Apple Photo app gave me no choice but to import both, even though it was only the JPEG that I could access).
I can make edits to the RAW file easily enough but when it comes to exporting or saving, I encounter the previously reported problem of Apple photos not importing the filenames, and so APP can't see them either, giving you just the default export name of 'untitled'. This is a huge negative for me and puts me off using it, as it creates problems later when identifying the original file for saving. Is there a way for APP to access the photos from my SD card by bypassing Apple photos, which strips the filename?
Thanks, DM1. I think this is a great solution if you need to offload large amounts of data while in the field, however, for my casual use it is overkill at the moment and the extra weight/size is not welcome.
When importing from an SD card reader Apple Photos will import both JPEG and RAW if available. When using the Import from Photos option within Affinity Photo, you're previewing the RAW files embedded JPEG, but when you import only the RAW file is passed from Photos to Affinity Photo. I believe some other third party apps work differently and can access the iPad storage allowing you to select the JPEG or the RAW file to import, this may be something our devs look at in the future.
I've recently migrated to a very elegant and inexpensive solution with many more benefits over the Photos app route. You have to use their free app iUSB Pro, but it gives you much more control over the files, retains the original file name, allows you to open-in either the jpeg OR the raw, and you can save back to your SD card if you wish.
Arrived yesterday via Prime 1-day delivery. I also have the official Apple regular SD card reader to compare to.First of all, I thought the iUSB Pro, app was buggy or something. Kept crashing on me when I tried to transfer images or video to the camera roll. Sharing/exporting/open in worked fine.Here's what I discovered.. at the bottom of the iUSB app screen there's an icon to view what's on the SD card. There are also icons for the App, Camera, iPad/iPhone, and settings.IMPORTANT: I first went to the iUSB icon to view my SD card content. That's where I was getting crashes. After I selected the iPad/iPhone icon to view the device's camera roll, I got the message asking permission for the iUSB app to access the camera roll. After I granted permission, everything worked well as expected. So, after you install the app, make sure you first go to the iPad/iPhone device icon so that you can grant the app access to the camera roll.The speed of transfer with the GeekGo seems slightly faster than the Apple SD card reader. Not blazingly so, but noticeable.Score 1 for GeekGo vs Apple readerWhat's GREAT about the GeekGo app is that once I've loaded an SD card and after it's built the thumbnail library of previews, when I reinsert the card later, it doesn't have to rebuild the thumbnails every time. The Apple one is not like this. If you have an SD card full of highres photos with RAW files, this can be very time consuming. The Apple reader has to rebuild the thumbnails every freakin' time. Not so with the GeekGo.Score 2 for GeekGo vs Apple readerContrary to what the seller of the GeekGo has replied to users in the questions section, it DOES support photo RAW files. It just doesn't create a preview of the RAW files. I shoot JPG + RAW, so I just note the file number of the JPG file and open it's RAW counterpart. The Apple SD card reader only shows you one preview, but opens as RAW in applications that support RAW. I think I prefer the GeekGo method in that I know for sure I'm opening the RAW file specifically and not inadvertently getting the JPG preview or companion file.Score 3 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe Apple reader only supports SD, or micro SD with an adaptor. The GeekGo has both SD and micro SD slots so I don't have to carry a micro SD to SD converter with me.Score 4 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe GeekGo allows you to use the USB end to connect to an external backup battery to charge your device, while also transferring files to/from your SD card. I just tried this and it works fine. The app is a little finicky with regard to charging AND transferring, but I found that it seems to work better if you start charging first, then insert the SD card. The Apple SD card obviously doesn't do this at all.Score 5 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe Apple SD reader ONLY interfaces with the camera roll. Using the GeekGo and it's app, I can interface copy/move etc. with other file management apps. I just tried moving a video file to the iUSB Pro app and then onto an SD card in the GeekGo reader using the GoodReader app. Worked perfectly. I also tried using Apple's Files app and did the same thing. Worked just as well.Score 6 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThis is a great find and solves a lot of file management issues I have using my mobile devices on the road. Excellent buy and highly recommended!
This is so strange about the GeekGo not shipping everywhere. There are several things that make this a stellar product. That fact that you can plug it in to an external battery and charge WHILE transferring files is cool. I bought an extra fast Samgung U3 miniSD to basically use as this reader's dedicated storage. What's great is the app it uses. It can add a step here and there, but it gives you so much more flexibility each way. THIS is the way iOS file management should be handled natively IMHO.
I like going this route vs the drives that come with their own memory, because already have loads of SD cards, they aren't expensive, and I can take advantage of faster memory as it comes available. (The GeekGo referenced, also supports up to 256GB SD cards)
Do check with the GeekGo manufacturer. Possibly there's an identical product just branded differently for various markets?
It's great to use with Lumafusion too. I have a RavPower hub that's also an SD card reader, an external backup battery, is an SMB device, and has a USB port that I can plug an extra solid state drive or USB flash drive to. With the GeekGo, I can transfer files to/from either an SD or miniSD care, while ALSO charging my device with the USB end of the GeekGo via the RavPower hub, and ALSO be transferring files to/from the RavPower vis it's own wifi network. All at the same time.
Do I really need to be able to do that? No, not really... but it's cool that I can. When I'm traveling, sometimes I'll be in the room and want to transfer files before heading out to get a bite. This combo makes all of that much faster, so I can be transferring my still and video from one device, while also transferring my audio recording files with the other device.
Here's the RavPower I'm using along with this. And yes, I've already tested and it works as I've described.

One more thing... are you folks in countries other than the U.S. trying to search for the GeekGo via your own Amazon browser? I'm asking because maybe because you're going through my U.S. link, it's giving you that message?
