At 3:01 when using file transfer in iTunes, I found it best to press "save" button then selecting your folder (which you can find by scrolling down inside of iTunes) instead of dragging and dropping, which often leads to crashing when transferring huge batches of files (30+gb).

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble and I'm hoping you could be of some assistance. I am trying to move pictures from my iPhone 14 Pro Max to my Extreme SSD 1TB. I purchased the RSHTech USB hub and the Apple adapter and have it set up as shown in your video. It let me upload around 900 images. I disconnected and plugged the SSD into my computer to make sure everything transferred correctly, and it did. I plugged it back into my phone to continue uploading and received an error message when I tapped to save to files like before. The error message reads "Operation couldn't be completed. Bad file descriptor." I contacted the Sandisk manufacturer and they said they have not tested with an iPhone, to try using it either on a smartphone with usb-c connection or on my computer. It works on my computer; I can view and move files around. Now when I plug it back into my iPhone, it's not showing up in the files app, and still will not let me save photos to the SSD. After emailing back and forth with Sandisk, they will not let me exchange the product. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Try force quitting all open apps and restarting phone. If that doesn't work, try a thumb drive or something other than your Sandisk SSD. Good luck.

I was able to get this working! The HDD is a good experiment but I think it won’t be too long until I just spend the extra money for an SSD. For my job, I’m offloading photos and videos from events, so it could be around 100 photos and videos per event. When moving items back to the iPhone from the HDD, I have to move a small group over at a time to ensure they all get transferred. A little annoying but at least I’ve cleared 10GB off my phone so far!

Tried using the usb powered hub on my 1tb sandisk extreme pro/iphone mini 11. It didnt work…

I found it can be fussy even on the exact USB hub you use. It only works with 2 of the 3 powered hubs I have. Also make sure the drive is formatted FAT32 or exFAT.

I was wondering if someone could help. I’ve connected my iPhone 14 Pro Max to the Extreme SSD using the USBC Camera Adapter. I’ve also got the charging port connected to a power bank in my house. I am getting an error saying “Cannot use accessory: Extreme 55AE: This accessory requires too much power.” I’ve tried changing to an adapter I got with my MacBook for more power and that doesn’t seem to be strong enough either. Does anyone know what I can do? Do I need a USB hub?

May I add it did work at first but after an hour it started telling me that it requires too much power.

I cover this in the video - you'll need a powered USB hub.

any advice on what to do if this doesn’t work?

Can you try another powered hub? That makes a difference.

My SSD Samsung T7 shield is sometimes detected and sometimes not detected and I don’t know what causes it :(

Sounds a like a power issue - can you try another USB hub?

I bought an adapter for my iPhone 14 Pro to transfer my files to my Samsung SSD. This works perfectly. But to my surprise I lost all my EXIF (meta) ​​data once the files are on the SSD, even if I include ''All Photos Data'' in the Options tab before I tranfer it. The files that I transfer via Airdrop to my iMac do keep all EXIF ​​data. Does anyone have a solution for this, or is it not possible at all?

I've not noticed that - are you using the Files app?

I use de same usb hub and the sandisk. For some reason the files I store in the sandisk, just disappear after a couple of days. Any one is experimenting this kind of issue?

That's usually an issue with an underpowered hub - can you try a different one. And the hub does need to be powered.

Are you loosing anything by using Airdrop? Files compressed?

It depends on what you're sending and what devices you're sharing the files between. Check out the last paragraph here: support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212832

How long does it take to transfer a 1 GB video from a SD card to your SanDisk SSD via your iPhone USB hub setup? And what about the same thing but using an iPad with lightning?

@@TheTechnologyMan it's just a question...

Scared to ask this but I wonder if third part USB adapters are reliable? Apple’s is $37 USD on Amazon right now, while third party adapters (with good reviews) are only $13. I just know how unreliable non-Apple cables and adapters are though.

I've not had great success with 3rd party Apple adapters - but if you buy from Amazon you should be ok to return it if it doesn't work properly.

I’ve tried the hard drive method and bought everything from Amazon and it doesn’t show up. I formatted my hard drive and it still doesn’t show in my files folder. Can you help me please?

Have you formatted the drive as FAT32 or NTFS? If that doesn't work then you're need to try another hub - and make sure it's a powered hub.

Very hard to say without seeing your setup. I'd try another drive or a even a USB stick and check everything works.

thank you for making this video. WOW, Apple sure loves to make things difficult with their lightning plug. Unfortunately for me, I sure love my iphone. 🤣

Yes will work fine with the 8 Plus.

I am super relieved ! Thanks for the really informative and instructive video ! I had recently purchased a new WD 2TB Extreme pro ssd drive for my old Galaxy S21+, but recently decided to "upgrade" my phone to the IPhone 13 AFTER finding out that my new super fast portable HD would not work with my Samsung phone (albeit, I would have to use my laptop itself overloaded sigh) So being in an AT&T store last month I made the leap (with the knowledge that searching out cases and cords would be a much easier task with an Apple phone.... I was bitterly disappointed in the Apple Iphone. This is my first foray into Apple IPhone I ve owned two Ipads in the past and made the "assumption" the Iphone was the same. After all the raving over the Iphone by family and friends I relented..... very disappointing..... The IPhone is much slower than my old Galaxy, the screen feels almost mushy compared with the Samsung...it feels like the screen is sitting below the glass (of course it is) but the Samsung feels like the "glass covering" and "screen" are somehow one in the same... (if that makes any sense at all) The camera is also disappointing and now I find out the transfer rate (which I had already been noticing) is also slower. Ive also had numerous problems with my Apple ID.... IE being told it was incorrect , and now being told my Apple ID is for my IPhone and NOT my IPad. Sigh fellas, I have a password book !!!!...and it's there in black and white....Apple WHAT happened ??? I am going to purchase the components you suggest and I will keep you informed of my progress ! Really appreciate the help !!!!

How to connect memory card reader

@TheTechnologyMan

Жыл бұрын

Same way you connect any USB storage device.

1) You are the F-ing man! Absolutely brilliant. You have navigated a tedious dumpster fire of obstacles and challenges. Thank you sir. 2) Do you have any experience or user confidence in third-party apps that replicate the AirDrop feature when transferring large video files between iPhone/iOS and Windows PCs? Most seem to utilize Bluetooth which varies tremendously in data rate depending on the version. If you can provide any guidance based on personal experience it would be most appreciated. The mounted server/wireless workaround sounds like a blessing from god, I will try that now. With Care and Aloha - Elias

Thank you! The only one I use reguarly is Snapdrop.net which is ok for smaller files.

Nothing I do works, nothing! I have tried every way, I have an Iphone 13 pro max and my computer is a pc windows 11. I have so many videos and photos that I am out of storage on my phone, they will not transfer from the phone to the pc even though it’s paired with my phone, even if it did there wouldn’t be enough room on my computer for all the files, I bought the Toshiba Canvio advance 4t I also bought a USB port and the camera adapter for the phone, I only want to put the videos and photos on the external hard drive, all connects well but when I go to move my files my phone says I have to save to files, the external hard drive is there but I can’t choose it, only stupid iMovie so what do I do?
