Hello, the past few days I haven't been able to import photos from the camera to Lightroom on the ipad. I do not think it's a connection problem as I can import my camera photos to Lightroom on my Mac laptop and I can see the camera connection on my ipad through ipad files folder. If anyone can help me, that would be awesome!!

Can you check if Lightroom has device access enabled?  Go to iOS Settings.app > Privacy > Files and Folders > Lightroom and see if that switch radio button is on?

I had this problem and I had to hard-reboot my iPad — TWICE.  It's worked ever since.

Mine is switched to off but when I try to switch on (to green) it won't allow me. Immediately flips back to off (grey). 
ideas?

Hi Billionsborden

I cannot reproduce that.  What iOS version and device are using?  Is this device setup as a business device with corporate policies being enforced?

I just got to the point where I was going to go to the store and get my car and then I will be home by
