Quick question. Are iPad notes meant to sync to Logos 5? I can't seem to get mine to sync (but they do sync the other way around.

 

Any tips?

    Yes... It's possible that you need to help the sync along a bit... Have you tried doing a full shut down of the mobile app to force a sync? If that doesn't work, can you give more details? Possibly some screen shots?

    Not sure about how to force a sync. Is it an option? Also, cant give screen shots. The notes are there on mu ipad but not on L5 (I have shut that down and restarted it).

    When the app starts up COLD, it syncs. That is what I meant by a force sync. To do this, exit the app and close it out completely via the multi-task bar... If you don't do this, the app isn't actually closed but "hibernating" and may or may not sync when "opened" again. As for screenshots: press and hold both physical buttons on your device. This will take a screen shot. The picture will be in your iOS "photos" app. You can email the picture to yourself so that you can attach it to the post in the forums from your computer. The mobile version of safari on your device won't allow this (yet).

    Well there you go. I had no idea it did that! I will let you know if it works. Thanks for the tip! :)

    Well Alabama 24 - It took a very long time to sync but it eventually worked! Thank you. I would have thought this stuff would sync automatically. :)

    Glad it worked for you. [:)]

    It works pretty well for me… but sometimes it doesn't. If I know that I am going to want access to notes created on my iPad available very soon on my computer, I will often go through this process… Otherwise, it happens in the course of events for me (even if it takes a little while).
