MEMORY ISSUES WITHNEW IPAD WITH 512 GB MEMORY

Hi, I just purchased a new IPad with 512gb or memory, yet I'm incapable of doing one single thing with the darn thing. The logos app kicks me out and freezes up right up from the very beginning.

With my old iPad (128gb), I used to use Faithlife with some inconveniences, although I had to wait a minute or so every time I looked at one of my notes. Now I can't use it at all even though I have a whole lot more memory than before. 

What can I do? My library is very large. 

Thanks, 

Joseph

    I didn't understand what you were saying at first... you mean, you can't set up the iPad as a "restore from backup" and get Logos to work. I concur that you should not try that. If for some reason you do want to "restore from backup" for other reasons, you should still delete the app and start from scratch.

    Never mind, I got your e-mail that was addressed to someone. 

    Sorry. 

    Hi, I just purchased a new IPad with 512gb or memory,
    For clarification: That isnt 512 GB of memory, but 512 GB of storage.
    although I had to wait a minute or so every time I looked at one of my notes. Now I can't use it at all even though I have a whole lot more memory than before. 
    Having more storage will do nothing for the problems you indicate. If you have a short bed truck loaded to the brim and it has troubles going up hill, swapping it out for a long bed truck (all other things being equal) won't help you any in trying to get up the hill.

    Well let's start there. Are you trying to download your entire library? If so, that is strongly not recommended. Do you have very large note files? If so, how many pages would the largest one(s) be if you printed them out?

    Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was more memory, not more storage. Anyway, when I installed the app, it did not give me an opportunity to choose what parts of my library I don't want. 

    How do I do that? All I want is a few bibles, some commentaries and all my notes on my preferred bible (NASB)

    Your entire library (or nearly) <should> be available "in the cloud" (online only). Depending upon a number of circumstances, Logos may have thought this was a previous installation and started to download the resources you had downloaded previously. Do you have reason to think that is the case?

    If you want to check to see what is downloaded, you can either put the device into "airplane mode" OR you can use the syntax local: in the library. I typically leave that syntax in my library so that I just have a list of downloaded books to select from.

    You can't choose which notes download... they will ALL download. No exceptions.

    I talked to customer services. A lady told me that I have to "hide" many of the resources I don't want on my computer first. After I do that, I could access my iPad logos without a problem. 

    The issue I have is that I use my logos on my laptop all the time which allows me to choose what I have at any given moment. However, for the iPad I don't need to access all my resources, but she told me that I can't separate my iPad resources from what I have from my computer unless I hide them on my laptop (iCloud?). 

    In this case, logos on my iPad is completely useless since it doesn't work because of the enormous number of resources I have. All it does is to either freeze or kick me out. 

    My question is, what do people do when they want to use their iPad but their resources are just too big?

    Again, that isn't the issue! I have over 8,000 resources and I know others with much larger libraries. If your resources are downloaded to your device, that is a different issue and still unrelated (unless the app is crashing because it is still trying to download the resources).

    Look, all I did was to get the app from the store and download it. I chose my favorite bible alongside with Faithlife Commentary which was already there from my previous device that copied it to my new iPad.

    Once I opened my Faithlife app, I went to my resources like you have in the picture, but my application froze. I started it up again, went to my library one more time and it says I have 2,858 resources, but none are downloaded. It froze once again. I started it up again, but everything is too slow to even read a few passages from John.

    I called customer services and this guy told me that I have more than 1,000 notes on my NASB. He said the device cannot deal with so many notes, so unless I remove them, I will not able to use my mobile device with logos.  

    It's crazy.

    If you have 1,000 notes in a single notes file, that can be a large problem. Unless you have some other problem causing this freeze, you may want to consider breaking that humungous file into several smaller ones.

    I guess I have to learn how to save notes some other way. What I have been doing is highlighting one passage or one verse, add a personal note to it or copy and past part of a commentary that explains what the passage means. I use a specific icon that let's me see immediately what I have written as soon as I hover over it.

    However, I have notes on one particular translation only (NASB). The rest don't have any. 

    What I have been doing is highlighting one passage or one verse, add a personal note to it or copy and past part of a commentary that explains what the passage means.

    In which case the issue may not even be the "1,000" notes, but the density of those notes. Another approach, which would not be accessible from mobile, would be to create a personal book commentary.

    A personal book commentary? That's a new one for me. If you don't mind asking you, how do I do that?

    By the way, you have been an incredible help for me to understand some things. 

    God bless,
