Syncronization

Is there a way to turn off the synchronization feature between different devices?  I have Logos on an iMac, MacBook, iPad, and iPhone, but I use each of them for different things. I find it irritating when I take out my iPad to use the Christian Worship Three-Year Lectionary for my morning devotion and find it trying to open up the NIV Bible to II Samuel which I had been using on my MacBook while preparing a ChristLight lesson.  That's just one common example.  Can this be turned off?

Also, I posted this earlier, but is there a way to make the references from the lectionary pop-up window appear in their entirety?  They used to do this up until the last update, but now just a small portion of the reference appears in the pop-up window, and if I want to see the whole reference I have to jump into my Bible (by they way, I do have my preferred Bible downloaded to my device, so that's not the problem).  It was much more convenient for me to just use the pop-up window for the whole reference.  Thanks.

    In general there isn't assuming:

    • you want them to be connected to the network (which I assume you do)
    • you want them to use the same Logos accounts (which I assume you do in order to get access to your resources)

    However, I don't understand why this is causing you the problem to which you refer

    Can you provide a few more details?

    If I access the Logos app on my iPad (for example) and go into  "reading" mode I get to the last resource I was reading on the iPad, it isn't impacted by what I was reading on my laptop (I am running Windows not Mac but I am sure the same applies)

    How are you trying to access the lectionary and where does the NIV appear?

    I'm sorry but I don't believe there is any way to do this

    When I open up Logos on my iPad, it instantly opens into reading mode, at whatever selection with which I was last working on any device.  For instance, the faculty at our school goes through the different readings in the lectionary as our devotion each morning before school, which is really the only thing for which I use Logos on my iPad regularly.  The last time I had opened Logos on my iPad it was open to the lectionary for that week, where I can just click on the link for that day's reading and then jump from the pop-up window directly to that reference (as I stated previously, I wish the pop-up window would contain the whole reading like it used to until the last update).  Later that morning, as I was working on a ChristLight lesson, I was using II Samuel on my MacBook.  The next morning when I opened Logos on my iPad it gave me the "thinking" spinner for quite some time before finally opening in reading mode to II Samuel, even though I had never been working in II Samuel on my iPad.  It just started happening in the last couple days, despite the fact that I don't think there have been any updates recently.

    Thanks for the reply and the help.  Perhaps it was just a temporary glitch, and it will just go away.  If not, I'm sure I'll just have to get used to dealing with it.
