Logos Ipad App Question

Hi Art

Do you have any text in the top box in the library panel? In the example below I have "Pauline"

This acts as a filter and may explain what you are seeing

Sorry for the lag time in replying busy day yesterday.

Yes! That was the issue. Thanks Graham.

I have another question. When I am reading in a bible, and have a split screen so I can compare versions, it shows me my top bibles, but I have yet to figure out how to add or remove a top bible from that list. Thanks.

Hi Art

Yes! That was the issue.

Good to get that one sorted[:)]

it shows me my top bibles, but I have yet to figure out how to add or remove a top bible from that list.

"Top Bibles" is defined within Logos as your five highest prioritised Bibles.

You change the priority in the Logos desktop application (I note you have Logos 4 Mac) - details of doing this are at http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing

So if you choose the five highest Bibles in Logos 4 Mac this should synchronise down to your iPad app and appear in the Text Comparison panel

Please let us know if this doesn't give you what you need.

Incidentally, there is no charge to upgrade to the Logos 5 core engine which adds some new functionality and introduces some more features. It is available at https://www.logos.com/install and - assuming you have the requisite HW and SW I would recommend you go ahead and update to Logos 5.

I downloaded the Logos 5 engine on my Mac Pro successfully but will have to get use to the new interface. I also downloaded (I think) for the ipad but Logos on my ipad shows ver. 4.30 I don't see any indication that I am running Logos 5 if I am suppose to.

But getting back to the Top Bible issue, If I understand correctly, my choice for Top Bibles is limited to 5, If I choose the five I want on my laptop, the ipad should reflect those five also correct?

I followed the link you gave or prioritizing but I am not getting it. Is there not a Top
Bible menu function that simply allows me to pick them and save them? Maybe that's where your trying to lead me but as mentioned, haven't figured that out yet. I am also going to look to see what I can find on video online to see if I can find a demo for this for the laptop. Videos for the IPad are very limited. Still want to hear from you.

One other thing on a different note, I tried changing my email several times for your responses but it doesn't seem to want to take this change. Is this something I should call Logos about? Thanks Graham.

"Logos 5" is a desktop software program (engine) for Mac and Windows. It isn't a mobile application.

Ok, Thanks Alabama, I mis-read Graham's reply and thought I was suppose to download logos 5 app on my ipad.

I have now figured out how to remove and add bibles for my Top 5 Bibles on my mac with the Logos 5 interface. But... after making those changes on my laptop, I am not getting that new information updated and displayed on my ipad. I have shut all software down and restarted Logos on my mac and ipad. When I choose text comparison on a verse on my ipad, it does not bring up my new top 5 bibles as choices.

Anyone can jump in. Thanks. I'll keep searching for info for the ipad Logos App.

Resource prioritization in Text Comparison doesn't work - this is a known issue and there's an existing case for it.

Thanks Kevin. So how does one change their top bibles in the Logos Ipad App?

The app allows you to set a single "preferred" Bible but not a selection of "top" Bibles - it's in the Settings panel.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601763#Comment_601763

So..... I need to know if I understand this right. I have five bibles showing when I am using my Logos App for the Ipad, even though I removed All bibles from the prioritize list on my Mac Laptop (which is supposed to sink with me IPad), and there is currently no way to remove those bibles or change them on my IPad?

Someone tell me this is not so. Is there anyone else who is experiencing this?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601770#Comment_601770

Ok, for whosoever is interested, after many hours today, I found a work around the Top Bible syncing problem posted on this forum by Bill Stevener.

"What I did some time ago was to cycle through the five bibles I wanted to appear in the Text Comparison, making each one my Favorite Bible. For me, the Text Comparison uses those last five favorite Bibles. I made sure my "favorite" was the last one selected. Might still work."

This does work on with the Logos App. I hope Logos will fix this soon. I will be calling into Logos to ask them if and when they will get this fixed.

There isn't any reason to do that. You aren't going to speak with a programmer. Your best bet is to cast your votes in user voice.

Ok, I am unfamiliar of user voice. Where do I find that?

The issue here is that when you add Bibles you don't own to the priority list, there's no way to remove them unless you purchase those resources (since resources you don't own don't show up in the desktop list). Cycling through the Bibles "fixes" the problem by loading the top of the list with the Bibles you want, but I agree, it's not the best option. We learned about this situation recently and we're discussing ways to fix it, but I can't give an estimate on when that will happen. It's not an easy problem to fix, unfortunately.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601820#Comment_601820

Hi Drew,

I think you implied that the bibles that are visible on my desktop/laptop are "owned" by me. If that is right, then they should be available on my IPad as well when using the Logos app, but if not owned, they cannot be manipulated. But.... why would I even have access to books that I did not purchase on my desktop or IPad?

Maybe I'm not tracking what your writing too well. You may not be able to explain it to me anyway, which is fine. I really don't need to know why they don't sync properly. I think the point is everyone would like the app to work like the Logos desktop, and it would be really nice to get that going soon. It seems to me with all the syncing programming knowledge and programs out there being used today, this problem could be fixed sooner than latter but I'm not a programmer so it's easy for me to think it should be an easy fix.

Thanks for the reply.

As an addition to Alabama's previous reply (which is exactly correct), Logos doesn't give dates for when issues will be fixed, and I think you would be hard pressed to find *any* software company that does so.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601828#Comment_601828

But.... why would I even have access to books that I did not purchase on my desktop or IPad?

The Logos iPad app includes 34 free Bibles that you can access while online, even though you technically don't *own* them and cannot download them to your iPad. So, if you are a brand new Logos customer that wants to try out the free Logos app on an iOS or Android mobile device without buying anything, we offer about 70 free resources - but none of them are considered to be "owned" resources.

Hi Arthur

Just checking I understand this (and I note that you have come up with a workround)

I removed All bibles from the prioritize list on my Mac Laptop

Are you saying that you don't currently have any prioritised Bibles on your Mac?

If so, please add your preferred five back in again - in order, give Logos 5 on the Mac and the iPad app time to sync and try the text comparison again and let us know what happened.

Incidentally:

"What I did some time ago was to cycle through the five bibles I wanted to appear in the Text Comparison, making each one my Favorite Bible. For me, the Text Comparison uses those last five favorite Bibles. I made sure my "favorite" was the last one selected. Might still work."

This will probably have changed the prioritisation in your Logos Mac environment as synching should work both ways[:)]

Hi Graham,

Yes, I have five bibles prioritized on my Mac, I took them (and put them back in) restarted Logos to see if that would change anything with the Logos app on my Ipad. Just an experiment to see if that would change/fix a syncing problem. It did not.

So I think you are saying that the syncing should work and is not a current flaw with the app?

I have shut down and reopen Logos on my mac and Ipad many times now over the course of a few hours, I would have thought something would of synced after all that.

Thanks again Graham.

As pointed out by the Logos guys earlier in this thread there is a "priority sync" problem in the iPad app but it doesn't appear in all conditions and I'm trying to ensure we know exactly what is going on in your case.

I have shut down and reopen Logos on my mac and Ipad many times now over the course of a few hours, I would have thought something would of synced after all that.

As would I!

Are you able to post a couple of screenshots (http://wiki.logos.com/Screenshot)?

One showing the proiritisation on your Mac and the other showing the results of a text comparison in the iPad app.

Thanks, Graham

Ok, here you go Graham. These are hot off the press.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601984#Comment_601984

Hmmm, I pasted the pics but obviously when I posted, the post stripped them off. I copied one at a time into the post and also pasted them into Word, and then used the paste word icon on the forum post menu. How else do you suggest I get them inserted in a post?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601985#Comment_601985

Did you use the paperclip icon in the formatting pallet?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601987#Comment_601987

Ahh, I didn't see that until you mentioned it. Had to enlarge the screen to tell it was an icon of a paper clip. So, what do you suggest is the best file format to insert here?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601989#Comment_601989

.jpg or .png

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601991#Comment_601991

...since these are from a Mac and/or an iPad, you shouldn't need to worry about which format. If these are from your mac, just use the normal mac screen capture commands.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/601989#Comment_601989

Ok, here I go again.

Hi Art

There they be Graham.

Thanks for posting - very helpful.

I think there are two unrelated issues here!

1) There is a problem with using "The Message" and doing a text comparison against the first verse of a chapter - this is discussed in http://community.logos.com/forums/t/74282.aspx. This results in it being left out of comparisons which is why it is missing. Can you try it on another verse and see what happens?

2) There is the appearance of KJV 1901 in your TC results which may be related to the issue which the Logos guys referenced above. We would need them to confirm this.

Graham

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/602048#Comment_602048

Yes, the Message does show up on other verse selections. Actually when I took the screen shot, I didn't even realize the Message did not show up. I was too busy trying to learn how to get the pics posted on the forum. Concerning the syncing problems, I think at this point I have spent too much time on this particular issue that I wanted to. I appreciate everyone jumping in and trying to help resolve it. I know enough now to call up the bible versions I want to compare using the app. If versions start syncing better that would be great but I think I need to move on to other questions that may arise as I learn to use the app more.

I next still need to find out why my email change does not work so I can get email replies other than on the email address that I originally registered with but now hardly use.
