Syncing iPad to iPhone and MacBook Pro

Hi Freddy

I do most of my reading on my iPad (2). I mark my reading with highlights. However, my highlights may take days to sync to my MacBook Pro. Sometimes it does not sync at all

Syncing is a two-stage process - highlights sync from a device (in this case your iPad) to some Logos servers and then from there down to other devices (in this case your MacBook Pro). It would be useful to know where the delay is happening.

Highlights are stored in Notes documents and if you know which document you are storing your highlights in you can check whether they are being synced to Logos servers by going to https://documents.logos.com/ opening the relevant document and checking if the highlight is there.

Doing this would help narrow down where the problem is - and whether it is an iPad issue or a Mac issue.

If you are able to check on this and report back that would be helpful.

If it doesn't make sense or don't know how to do some of it pleased advise and we can explain further

There will always be a time delay, but it doesn't have to be long. The sync goes from device "a," to the cloud, and then to device "b." Syncing doesn't happen automatically on the desktop immediately after a highlight, but rather a periodic sync occurs. I honestly don't know how often the mobile app syncs, but you can kill the app and reopen it to force a sync. If the mobile app doesn't sync before you close the app (or while you have Internet), you will obviously not see the new highlights on the other device.
