BluesKeys Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I downloaded the new SetList maker on iPad3 and lost all my .rtf files. I am running os8.0.2 If I download os8.1 will that solve my problem? I lost 50+song lyrics. I need many of them tonight. I know I should have read the SetList forum before downloading the new SetList maker but alas. Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

BluesKeys Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Looks like I will spend the afternoon downloading lyrics. Os8.1 didn't fix the problem.

Ken Beaumont Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Do you sync your iPad regularly with your computer in iTunes? If so maybe the files are there?

BluesKeys Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Apple's OS8.0.2 for some reason doesn't recognize .rtf files and apparently 8.1 didn't fix it. Arlo says he is waiting to see if Apple will fix this problem. If not the work around is to load ALL lyrics, lead sheets etc right onto the song by copy and paste, or change all your files to pdf files. I spent the afternoon copying as many as I could for tonights show. Will have to continue it tomorrow. Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

MoodyBluesKeys Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Once done with this (if you haven't) be sure to setup iTunes on a computer (PC or Mac), connect the iPad, and choose to backup to the local computer instead of iCloud. Another helpful thing: Even if the iPad won't recognize a file type, you can still use the computer along with Dropbox, Box, or other cloud service to copy files back and forth between the computer and the iPad. You can then save copies of the files locally within the Dropbox or Box app on the iPad. That gives a separate backup of the files. BTW, I agree with NOT installing the new OS assuming that you don't need the new OS for some purpose that the old OS doesn't cover. Treat the iPad as a business tool, and NEVER be the first-guy-on-the-block to be an unpaid beta tester.

arlomedia Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Backups are good, but in this case, the RTF files haven't gone anywhere. It's just that the iOS framework that displays them is broken. Apple identified this as a bug in the iOS 8.0 release, so it seems that they intend to fix it, but it's too bad they haven't done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
