i have many new resources as a result of L7  :-)

as i have tagged ans added many to favourites, i have also ticked the relevant box in the resource info panel to indicate that i want it on my iPad.

Weeks later, these resources are mot locally on my iPad. As far as i can see, i have to manually open each resouce on my iPad, and download it using the download button. 

This is obviously wrong otherwise the desktop app would not have a tickbox! 

How do imforce my iPad to download all of the resources that were ticked on the desktop app?

Thanks.

    If you have these books tagged, then filter your mobile library for that tag: mytag:tagname and use the "download all" button. When filtered, the button downloads the filtered results.

    Thanks

    They all have different tags ... according to their content ... I do not tag according to the purchase order, or have any way of determining which resources they were. I stopped tagging by order when Logos started doing dynamic collections ... it was too complex to track what resources I could transfer, and what I could not because I had 'used' them in a dynamic pricing deal.

    I was expecting there to be a command line instruction that I could use either in the desktop app, or in the iPad. It seems logical that there shold be a way to initiate a check, and to report or sync resources accordingly.

    Martin, Martin, Martin ... 'It seems logical ....'

    And if you used the resource panel to encourage Logos to download, which of the 14 same-unit-of-mobile did you use?  

    And if you simply bought a resource and wanted to see it on your mobile library, how would you encourage it to appear (unlike Kindle)?

    These are all seemingly logical questions.  Some would even suggest common sense questions.

    Which resources - can you give one or two examples? Not every resource is available on mobile.

    While online, pressing the Home button on your iPad and tapping on the Logos app icon should sync those resources. I just tested this and it's working fine for me.

    Hi Kevin.

    I presume that non-mobile resources do not have the tick boxes in the libraries info panel ... all the resources to which I am referring had this box.


    An example are the ACCS OT commentaries. I will poke around for others ... but since I did not identify them at the time then it is a little tricky to be more specific. I will monitor this, either when adding more resources or putting resources onto the pad using the desktop app.

    Regards

    Martin.
