Problem syncing reading plans

I am not even able to sync reading plans created on my desktop to appear on the ipod in the first place.
Which bible are you trying to sync. Yet not every bible is able to be read in the iOS app. Have you tried to create a reading plan in another bible?

My reading plan is syncing with my laptop but it syncs only every third day or so. Today (monday) saturday is viewed as unread in Logos 4 but I'm up to date with my reading.

I too am trying to get my reading plan that I created this afternoon to sync with my ipad. I'm using the KJV Cambridge 1900. It doesn't show up on my iPad at all.

I am having the same issue. I created a new reading plan on Logos 4 for Mac about an hour ago using the ESV and it still won’t show up on my iPhone.
All the phone displays is the default.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reloading Logos onto the phone—no dice.

I am having the same issue as described in this and several other threads. I create a new reading plan on my desktop (L4 (beta) on Windows 7) using the ESV, which I have loaded on my iPhone. However this plan does not show up on my iPhone. Like some other users, it did work for a while but periodically it would give me a message saying that it was unable to load the data for the reading plan, upon which it would create a new reading plan by the same name but with an incrementing number after it (e.g. "Read ESV Dec 31 (4)"). I tried tidying things up by deleting the duplicates, creating a new plan on the desktop and waiting for it to sync to iPhone. However now all I have on the iPhone is a default reading plan "Read the Bible in one year." This plan has synced back to the desktop but the plan on the desktop hasn't made it to the iPhone. I tried altering the one which had synced to the desktop but this did not replicate back to the iPhone - instead another reading plan "Read the Bible in one year (2)" appeared on the iPhone.
Has any progress been made on sorting this issue out? (It is a brilliant idea but a pain when it doesn't work!)

PS: I also have an issue with some iPhone enabled / available resources not being available on my iPhone. In particular I note that "A Textual Analysis of the Greek New Testament" (Metzger) does not appear.
PPS: Can anyone tell me why NA27 and NA27 with McReynolds interlinear are not available on iPhone?

First, welcome to the forums. Sorry you are having troubles with this!

Logos has told us that they are in the process of updating the sync platform and features. This will include adding highlighting and notes to the mobile apps. We have been told this will be addressed, but we do not have a time frame. Sorry!
PS: I also have an issue with some iPhone enabled / available resources not being available on my iPhone. In particular I note that "A Textual Analysis of the Greek New Testament" (Metzger) does not appear.
Do you mean "A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament?"
If so, check to make sure you were looking up the right resource. If not, could you provide a link to the right resource? I could not find the one you mentioned.
Can anyone tell me why NA27 and NA27 with McReynolds interlinear are not available on iPhone?
There are two primary reasons that a resource is not available on the Logos mobile app. 1) the publisher won't allow your Logos4 license to be used to access the content on your mobile device and 2) technical reasons. It is Bob Pritchett's philosophy that if you purchase a license for a resource in Logos4, you should have access to it on as many devices as you own.

Sorry! Yes it was "A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament" that I meant. It shows in Logos with the iPhone logo but it doesn't appear in my library on the iPhone (although I have it on my desktop). Is it possible that this is because it is linked to UBS 4 / NA27 which is not currently available on iPhone?

Karl,
My experience has been that the iphone app FREQUENTLY has sync problems for a reading plan. It somehow fails to sync updates to the Logos server.
During periods of time when I am primarily reading on the app, it sometimes forgets what has already been marked as read. It seems to have problems changing from offline to online, or online to offline. Hopefully a future update will have a complete re-write of this function for the app.
Also, the app seems to have no option for managing a reading plan. After a while, I usually experience problems keeping the iPhone app and a WIndows reading plan in sync.

My reading plan is not syncing between my platforms (Mac and iPhone) using the ESV to read through the Bible by the end of the year. A duplicate reading plan was created also.
I do appreciate the reminders that say I am falling behind in my reading plan, but I really am up-to-date!

Having a similar problem. I made a new reading plan on my PC (Psalms on ESV) and it won't show up on my iPad (2nd gen). It's been about 14 hours since I made the new reading plan, restarted my iPad, etc. The Logos app has even downloaded a couple resource updates, so I know it's syncing to the server, but no reading plan (other than the default one for reading through the ESV in a year that you can delete but it just shows up again immediately).

I have finished (and deleted) an old reading plan (KJV), but it still shows up on the iPad. The new reading plan I created does not show up at all (ESV). Both resources are on the iPad. Is there a way to force a sync?, clear cache?

Hi Peter
The short answer is no!
Some tell us that the thing will sync eventually but that has not been my experience.
We are also told that the Sync system is being overhauled but not when this feature will be re-intoduced.

My reading plan (ESV in a year in four sections: OT, Pss, Provs, NT) finally appeared on my iPhone yesterday (took just over a week). Given my experience in the last few weeks, I expect that, from time to time, there will be trouble syncing and duplicate reading plans will end up being created on my desktop - but I can live with that for now. I'm just glad to have my reading plan available on the iPhone again.
My only advice is this: Be patient. Don't be tempted to tinker with your iPhone / iPad and try uninstalling / reinstalling. Don't fiddle around creating new reading plans. These things will only delay / confuse the issue. The problem seems to be with iPhone app itself and the way that it syncs. Eventually (assuming that the reading plan uses a Bible which is available on your mobile device and your desktop "use internet" setting is enabled), your reading plan will sync through to your mobile device. And hopefully before too long, Logos will sort out the syncing issues and it will work like a dream!

Just to add my $0.02 worth: I have had an old completed reading plan on both iPhone and iPad for 3-4 weeks and it still has not cleared. I have removed it from the ribbon on the Home Page, and show it completed on my PC ... but it still shows on the iDevices. I am patiently waiting! [;)]

I notice that you say you have deleted it from the ribbon on your home page, but have you deleted the reading plan itself? (File, right-click on the completed reading plan and select delete.) My understanding is that, if you do not delete the plan itself, it will not be deleted from your iPhone / iPad.
Having said that, I've not actually tested whether deletions are propogated when syncing. I've just tended to right-swipe the plan on the iPhone and pressed "delete."
However, at least In theory, if you delete the plan itself from the desktop it should eventually disappear from the mobile device.

After several days of my iPad only showing brand new readings plans that I didn't want - and not the ESV reading plan in a year that I was part-way through - the correct reading plan suddenly appeared on my iPad last night.
I'll be interested to see how long is stays there. [:)]

I also have completed and deleted a reading plan and it is still hanging around on the Ipod touch. In fact I began a new reading plan that hasn't even showed up on that device yet. Also I have resources that do not even show up on the Ipod at all that I know I have. The sync between my two other computers is fine.

I just remembered this morning that you can manually delete reading plans off the iPad and iPhone. On the home page of the app, simply swipe right over the plan and then click the delete button that shows up. At least this way you can get rid of any reading plans you don't want showing up on you iDevice.

It didn't work for me. Can you show a screen shot?

Logos updated the iPhone app today. They still haven't addressed the syncing issues with the reading plans. Why not scrap the reading plan sync feature and let iPhone users create independent reading plans on the phone? Maybe the option to sync could be added when the developers figure it out.

This is a pain!
Personally I don't care what avenue Logos takes it would be really helpful for my productivity if this software "just worked"!
I've even lost count on how many occasions I've wasted time checking to see if some "feature" or "glitch" in Logos has something to do with my installation of Logos or if it is actually a "bug" which Logos needs to resolve. It's been an ongoing disappointment for me to note the latter has invariably been the case.

Here's my solution for the iPhone and iPad problem of not syncing the reading plans...I'm not going to use Logos on my iPhone or iPad anymore. It's just too frustrating. The desktop version is wonderful, but the application has NEVER worked right on either of my portable devices, and I have been using it for 5 months. No syncing, randomly creating new reading plans, not accepting daily readings, etc.
If you own an iPhone or iPad then you most likely have the apple bookstore app. Just download a bible and do your reading from that.
Everytime I start up the app on one of my portable devices it keeps asking me to rate the Logos app, and I have been putting it off in the hopes the problem will be fixed. Unfortunately I'm going to have to give the app two thumbs down.

First, welcome to the forums. Sorry you are having troubles.

I unfortunately must concur with you. I would, however, like to give you some hope. The primary problem with the mobile app is the sync infrastructure. Logos is about to release a beta for the desktop app (4.5) which will address sync issues. Once this upgrade goes public (i.e. "out of beta"), Logos will be in a position to release a new version of the mobile app with sync 2.0. Along with working reading plans, we are told that this will bring Highlighting & Notes.

I'm having the same problem mentioned by many. After nearly 2/3 of the way through with my reading plan, it stopped syncing. Then it keeps creating new plans starting over with Gen 1.
It is very frustrating. It's good to know Logos is working on it, but ...
I think my solution is to start using YouVersion for my Reading Plan. Besides, they have the NIV.

alabama24,
I'm happy for you and your optimism. However, we've heard about the wonderful fixes on the horizon for some time now. This thread was started in December 2010. God creates babies in less time than it takes Logos to fix a problem that many other apps have no problem with. I agree with Jack; the Logos desktop program is wonderful but their iPhone and iPad app is "just too frustrating." It is sinful for me to use the Logos iPhone or iPad app because it tempts me to anger.
Jack, I too have found a solution to the problem. The Tree recently announced they are introducing a desktop version this winter. Logos had better look in the rear view mirror.

The "many other apps" aren't trying to sync with the most powerful Bible Software program on the market. I understand your frustration. If there is another program you like better, use it and don't waste your time on the forums. If you have questions that others can help to answer, than feel free to join in the conversation.

alabama24,
Here is my question that I hope "others" can help answer: When will I be able to sync my reading plans?
Logos is still my favorite Bible software and I believe it is "the most powerful software on the market." I just can't keep from thinking Logos released the car without the wheels when they jumped into the mobile market.
I appreciate your concern for my time. I don't consider my time wasted because my hope is that someone at Logos will read the forums and realize this is a real concern for many.
