IPad connectivity issues

Flight - Discussion and Q&A

Hi All, hoping someone can help me.

I’ve just purchased an Ipad 9.7 128GB tablet from Apple. I have set this up as a brand new machine.

I have loaded DJI GO onto it - however when I connect the cable to it and power on the RC and then the drone, the DJI GO app doesnt acknowledge that there is a connection. I can hear a DING when I plug the cable from the RC into the tablet, and there is a charging symbol which suggests connectivity but it simply wont recognise the bird.

I then loaded up DD and Litchi - and same result.

Does apple block external devices in some way ? Much like the “Trust / Dont Trust” your computer setting and if so how do I bypass it ? Or is it something simpler than that ?

Thanks
Sean

Hi @syamaphantom,

Have you tried using a different cable? This might help. At the very least, it’ll let me narrow down the possible cause of issue.

Cheers,

Yep, it made no difference :frowning:

Some feedback - it looks like the upgrade to iOS 11.0.3 is the root cause for this issue. DJI report that it affects a SMALL number of people. I’m on of them it seems.

Hi @syamaphantom,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re one of the few who are affected by this issue - what a pain! Although, I’m glad that it’s been addressed as a known issue. Hopefully an update will roll out soon to resolve this.

Cheers,
Christina

Word of advice… NEVER update any software including DD, Apple, Android etc until at least a month after it has been released! I have been having problems with DD since about March! Still can’t get an answer as to what the problem is but yet my payment gets taken every month without hesitation!
