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 .

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJimhahpnKqEeM0

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! 🏆

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 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.

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.

[@Q..J..]

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.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

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. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

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

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hopefully this helped. More info here. studiolivetoday.com/usb

Can I buy lightening to USB Adapter only? Or do I have to buy lightening to USB Adapter 3 to transfer files?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Personally, I have found that the Lightning port for extra power is required unless you have a powered USB hub.

[@Pambar]

Does it take ages to transfer to the flash drive. I have been trying all afternoon.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah, it's not fast. I would use a could backup like iCloud or Google Drive these days.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIe6h599qbBnqLs

[@Pambar]

@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you for your advice.

[@B001-c8m]

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?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Not natively I’m afraid. Apple changed to HEIC and that’s the standard now.

[@jasonfeazel3806]

Great video Brother ❤️

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

👍🙏🤘

[@AnaTropicana]

Can I do this with a 3.0 USB flash drive and plug the adapter into my phone? I have an 11 pro max.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

You’ll need the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. studiolivetoday.com/usb

[@AnaTropicana]

@@PeteJohnsMusic so I can get the Apple adapter from Apple itself and use the 3.0 usb and plug it into my phone and it will work ?

[@elizzlmynizzl]

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

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah it uses the native iOS photo format. If you export manually it will convert to jpg but not using this method.

[@elizzlmynizzl]

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

[@shnoodledoodles8562]

Cool bro 👍
