iPad Download

Hi Martin

Martin Folley said:

I have just been given a new iPad and I am still exploring so forgive me if this is an obvious question.

Congratulations - and no worries about the question

Martin Folley said:

My question is this ... why did they not download?

• The message does not say.

Sorry, as you point out it is difficult to say!

Martin Folley said:

If they cannot download (license issue, or nature of the graphics etc.) then I would not have expected them to have the download tickbox in the Library info panel

I don't have the Zondervan resource but I do have the ESV SB and successully downloaded.

Martin Folley said:

Is there a server issue?

There may well be. Someone else has reported issues with connecting - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/64879.aspx - and I have just removed the ESV SB and tried to download it for a test and it doesn't seem to be working

Martin Folley said:How can I attempt to force a re-download?

When any server issues are resolved....

In the library entry for the resource on your iPad click on the small "i" symbol to the far right. This will popup a window - it will either show "Remove" or "Download". As the download failed I assume the button will show "Download". Press this and see what happens.

Hope this helps

I have just tried again to download the ESV SB and it worked fine

Martin Folley said:

Restarting the app causes a spinning 'thingy' at the top left of the screen which I take to men that something is being downloaded.

True. This happens every time the app is cold started. It is syncing notes, reading plans, resource locations, etc. with the server. You will also see this when resources are being downloaded.

Martin Folley said:

in my library (detail view) I think I have reasoned that a shaded 'i' icon means downloaded (or downloading) ... 

Martin Folley said:

What I cannot see is any indication of download progress (which resources are complete, which are x% downloaded etc.)

True. When a resource is downloading, you will see the circle being drawn in blue (to show progress). When it is finished, the circle will darken.

Martin Folley said:

I think that the big circles with 1 hour, 5 hour etc. and the blue lines reflect the reading time and what parts of the resource have been reading.

The time is when the resource was last read/used. The lines around the circle represent passages read.

Martin Folley said:

I can see at the top of the screen a cog (settings?) but that seems to have the same effect as clicking on my name (account) but it is separated by a line so I presume it to have a different function.

No separate function. The "button" hotspot just spreads across from the "cog" to your username.

Martin Folley said:

I cannot see the setting to eradicate the 'news' section etc. (that looks like Logos adverts.) I would like more search results instead, or tools there instead of hidden in the panel with 6 other sections etc. It just seems poor design ... or more likely a novice in control!

There isn't a way to get rid of the "news" section. It is advertisement. Logos wants it that way.

I am trying to find some documentation for the iPad ... is there any?

Martin Folley said:

Lots of small questions ... I am not really looking for answers here ... rather than looking for documentation ...

Every now and then I am surprised with links to videos that I never seem to be able to find again. I would be more than willing to work on the wiki… but it is a pain in the rear for me to work with. I tried to learn on a couple of occasions, but got so frustrated I quit. On numerous occasions I have spent long amounts of time creating screen shots, but I get tired of the tedious process sometimes. It would be helpful if I could create wiki pages & screen shots and provide links for users… but it hasn't worked out yet.
