iOS 11 camera connection kit problems

Hi all. I have an iPad mini running iOS 9. I use a behringer umc204 to record audio into my iPad (connected using a cck and powered usb hub). This works fine.

I recently purchased an iPad pro 10.5, running iOS 11. When I plug the same setup into it, it gives me a "this device is not supported " message. The behringer does show up for about 1 min before giving the error.

Anyone know what the problem might be? I am not using an official Apple cck. Is that the problem ? I read somewhere that Apple have throttled some of the cck' functionality in iOS 11. Maybe that's it?

I don't want to buy an official Apple cck just to find out it doesn't work in iOS 11 too. Thanks all. :)

  • My guess is that the problem is you have not paid Apple the $45 tax they charge you for using the brand new device you just bought from them. Getting the Apple cord should clear it up. If not, return it.

    Yep only the official ones are reliable if you want to use midi and/or audio in your setup.

  • Historically the ios updates have a good chance of breaking the 3rd party cck's. That's Apple. I gave up and got the official cck. It has tiny electronics inside, so it is more than an adapter, more of a dongle, and so the 3rd party clones may not match the Apple one exactly, so, depending one how conspiratorial you are, you could interepret it as them finding ways to break the 3rd party cck's. I personally could see it as, they don't spend a second testing any cck other than their own. "Never ascribe to malice, what can be explained through incompetence".

    They can be had, used, off amazon and ebay, for $20-$25.

  • It is painful to have to buy one at this inflated price, but once you have it you will never think “Man, I got ripped-off” since it never fails you like the other stuff out there.

  • That's great. Thanks so much for your responses everyone. I will order an official one soon! :smiley:

  • It does sound like the unofficial CCK is the problem, but also having several iPads I know that my Lexicon Omega is recognised differently on all my iPads and only my iPad 1 allows full use of the Audio Inputs, so not all devices are created equally.

    If I was to buy a new 3rd party CCk for every year’s update and assuming one was about £3 I would have spent £15 as opposed to £25. I wouldn’t trust it for live use though so if you add £10 for the trust bit it probably makes sense to get the original one.

    The only problem is that I’ve bought some 3 funny ones before realising that the real one was the dogs bollocks. Well, they say that the poor man pays twice.

  • Remember to plug first the behringer to you actual cck and then to iPad, never the opposite (first the cck and later the behringer...)
    Also try to use powered hub and it to the order (behringer > hub > cck... plug all into iPad)

    If none of this works, then go for official cck3.

  • Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter —— apple tho.
