Is the iFi iDSD micro battery fully charged?
did you turn on the iDSD and wait for the flashing green light BEFORE hooking it up to iPhone 6?

Yes, fully charged. Light flashing. I've tried everything. Sighs

Has anyone received the "drawing too much power" message when connected to an iPhone? This started when I updated my iPhone 6+ to iOS 8.2.

I cannot use the iDSD with my phone anymore.

Tried resetting my iPhone & iPad. No go. It has to do with my camera connector. i receive the message as soon as I attach the CCK, without the iFi micro. Both iDevices are fully charged. Could my connector be bad? I've only used it carefully at home for about a month.

Huge thank you,

Jordan

Yes, it's official. I might go to Best Buy and purchase another one. It's like a gremlin attacked it, lol.

Thanks again. I appreciate all of your help.

I would think that just only the connector attach to the ipad you should not get a message of too much power being used.

The connector that I use works from the IPad but not the Nano. I get a message on the nano saying that it's not compatible which is odd since it is an Apple connector.

The connectors are very expensive in the UK as well. I'd say a rip off actually. A 6 inch piece of wire with plugs at the end?

Does anyone know whether the Nano puts out digital data since it has no camera?

I am not sure I read your reply right but it won't hurt to repeat it - what @jexby wants to say is, you must turn the iDSD on FIRST, then connect it to the iPhone+CCK. That will set it to self-power mode and shouldn't draw any power from your iPhone at all. If you connect the iDSD to the iPhone + CCK first, then turn it on, it will enable the charging mode and start drawing power from iPhone.

iDSD only supports Apple devices with iOS7+ via Camera Connection Kit (older iOS won't work as well). Since iPod nano isn't running on iOS7+, therefore it doesn't work with iDSD. On the other hand iPad works because it is running on iOS7+. There are however still other ways to get digital out from iPod nano, just that you will need to buy another DAC/amp.

Ok. Many thanks. It's just that the Nano reports 'accessory not supported' even when not connected to Micro.

While everyone's on cables; I've decided to go ahead with one of these. Can anyone recommend a good quality OTG host to micro cable to use with this and an Android phone?

Bought a new CCK. Problem solved. Hope these connectors don't go bad very often. Could get to be pretty expensive. I was really careful with it too!

Thanks for all the support! You guys are awesome!
