I just swapped out my broken iPad and restored it. Logos library local: shows 566 resources are downloaded, but in actuality no books are downloaded. I can redownload eme one at a time by removing a resource then downloadin it again, but this is impractical for so many resources.  What is the best way to restore my “downloaded” resources?

    You can create a "tag" on your desktop computer, then filter the mobile device for that tag.

    What happens when you filter your library by local: then pull the library down slightly. Do you see Download all?

    Presumably not, although it is a good suggestion and worth a try! I just realized that my solution won't work as I expected either (without modification) because the app thinks the books are already downloaded. The workaround: Tag the resources, delete the app, reinstall the app, filter the library, download all.

    After having to restore my iPad my Logos and faithlife ebook app automatically downloaded my previously downloaded books but my verbum app did not... I am not sure how or why they automatically decided to restore after downloading fresh copies of the APPS nor why Verbum failed to... but there must be away to simply tell it to redownload after all the LOGOS Desktop app and tell your devices to download certain books to your devices so the servers obviously have a record... I did nothing with all three apps other than to download my preferred bible.

    Just wondering if this setting has anything to do with it?

    and whether the setting has to be made specifically on the Verbum installation?
