Duplicate Reading Plans

Lonnie,

I can't help solve the genesis of the duplicate reading lists, but I can join you as a Logos user who mysteriously gets them. The Bible-in-a-year plan I finished last week produced nine duplicates during its run. I've always assumed I did something -- perhaps when accessing the reading plan on another Logos installation -- but I never saw clear evidence of what happened. My solution was the one proposed here by others: delete the extras.

Thanks for the company!

Bill

Another user suggested

"Click on "File" and in the "Open" box type in the word "reading"
(without the quotation marks)? This will show all of your reading
plans."

delete the duplicate ones....

This worked for me.

Sorry you are having trouble. In your case, the problem is most likely your iPod touch. The mobile app does not sync well to L4. Logos is aware of the situation and is working on it. Logos is expected to release a new beta (4.5) "soon" which will introduce a more robust sync solution. This will bring highlighting and notes to the mobile app as well.

I use Reading Plans quite a lot, and have experienced this problem a number of times.  I finally concluded that it was happening when I mark readings as completed on more than one device.  In other words, I read one day on my iPhone, marking the reading as complete on there, and then read on my PC the following day, marking the reading complete on there.  When it synced, it then duplicated the RPs on the devices. For the past few weeks I have made it a practice to mark readings as complete on only one device, and have not had any duplicated RPs.  I have regarded this as a workround until the syncing improvements come through in the next version.  I might be wrong, but that's the only explanation I could find for the duplications I was getting.

Lonnie et al:

I regularly experience this problem too, and as other posters have noted, it seems that it only happens when you mark "read" on a device other than your main computer. For me, my main Logos install is on a desktop iMac, and when I read and try to mark "read" on my iPad, it creates a duplicate reading plan file. If I delete the duplicate on the iMac, it just gets created again by the iPad.

I'm looking forward to a new release of Logos that fixes this syncing problem.

In Christ,

Not sure if this helps but I have a similar problem.

iPhone 4 and MacBook. If I delete all Reading Plans on the iPhone, it automatically creates a Read the Bible in a Year reading plan starting in Genesis on the phone.

I created a new Reading Plan (NT only) on the MacBook, gave it a new name, and it doesn't show up on the phone - at least not yet. I created another new Reading Plan on the MacBook and it hasn't synced (yet) with the phone. The phone keeps recreating a Read the Bible in a Year plan that doesn't (currently) exist on the MacBook. Maybe it just takes a while to sync - but I am not certain it is syncing at all.
