Troubleshooting

  • Check file name and path limits: the .spproject file name must be at most 127 characters and the file path must not exceed 255 characters.
  • Unplug the USB cable and reset Location & Privacy:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from both the PC and the iPad.
    2. Close both the SuPAR App and Composer.
    3. On the iPad, go to Settings → General → Reset or Transfer → Reset → Reset Location and Privacy.
    4. Start the App and Composer again, then reconnect the USB cable.
    5. When prompted with Trust this computer?, select Trust.
  • Check the USB port: make sure the port works — Windows should recognise the iPad and display its photos.
  • Check cables/adapters: verify that the cables, extensions or adapters you use support data transfer.
  • Check iOS version compatibility: make sure the SuPAR version is compatible with your iOS version.
    • For iOS 16, use SuPAR version 2022.2.
    • For iOS 15, you can use up to SuPAR version 2022.1, but not higher.
  • Ensure Apple Mobile Device Service is running: confirm that the Apple Mobile Device Service is running. Accessing Task Manager may require admin privileges.
  • Driver installation: if the issue persists, try installing the iPad driver from a local file.
