    To get usb-connectivity with an iPad, you need – what I believe is called – a camera connection kit.

    I only know the Alesis IO dock. I know that works (at least it did with the iPad 3 30-pins connector), but I have used it primarily for sound recording/playback purposes. Which migt fit in with garageband ideas?

    The good thing is it charges your device I seem to recall.

    Yes! That is what I have been sussing out in the meantime. It’s the “camera” named cable that added confusion. I think the ales is dock looks great fit for Apple gear purposes. I have been really impressed with all my iPad can do so far but eager to breakout so I will get the mentioned cable as a starter.

    Thanks for your reply,

    I know the Camera Connection Kit (CCK) is often mentioned, but does anyone know how that is different than just putting a USB A (rectangle) to USB B (square) adaptor on your charging cable?

    iDevices have no USB coonectors. Older models have the wide 30-pin connector, the recent models the small and reversible lighting connector.
