Yesterday I purchased a new Apple USB Camera Adapter as recommended to me in my recent post seeking advice on connecting and supplying power to a digital audio interface from my new-to-me semi-vintage iPad Pro 10.5.
Its firmware version is currently 1.0.1, and the current firmware version is 1.0.5. I am prompted to update the firmware upon connecting it to the iPad. Unfortunately, despite many hours of waiting, the update does not occur. 😥
To those who use this adapter with an iPad with a Lightning port:
- Which firmware version are you running? (Settings > General > About > Apple USB Camera Adapter > Firmware Version)
- Which model number of iPad are you running? (Settings > General > About > Apple USB Camera Adapter > Model Number)
- Were you ever prompted to update firmware? Was it successful? When?
My hypothesis is that the firmware is somehow not available to the operating system despite having good Internet connectivity.
I have no other iPads, and no iPhones. I might attempt to ask around to see if anyone has one who will allow me to attempt to update this adapter's firmware using their devices, or maybe check in at the Apple Store Genius Bar to see if they can update its firmware for me.
I don't know what if any differences exist between 1.0.1 and 1.0.5. Apple does not publish release notes for this product.
