| Since they put in the new server, iOS devices can't properly upload items to the online database. Sadly, I don't expect this to change. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 390 |

| Yes. My charts are blank as well. I didn't notice it before since I hardly ever use charts. The same thing happens on my iPhone running iOS 12, so it is not an iOS 17 issue. It must be a server issue. I can live with it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 390 |

| I have the same issue on my iPad, but if you search by UPC 883929773589, you will find it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 390 |

| I generally agree and have put my evaluation efforts on the back burner for now. However, that could all change once iOS 18 rolls out. If things go south, I'm planning to move to MyMovies, since I've been impressed with their online customer support. | Posted: Topic Replies: 57, Topic Views: 6513 |

If you have an Intel Mac you can run Windows on it using Bootcamp. You can download a limited version of Windows 10 for free from MS.

| That's been the case for the iOS app ever since they installed their new server months ago. I doubt it will ever be fixed. Your only choice is to use the Windows app or move to another iOS app, such as MyMovies. | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 421 |

| While it works great when BOTH PCs are open and running DVDProfiler, if I close the master PC app, the slave PC app loses connection to the database. So I guess the slave PC is not actually syncing its local database, as with an iPad, but rather opening the master PC's database remotely. The master PC is thus just acting as a server. This would therefore not be a useable option to transfer data from master to slave prior to reformatting the master PC. While an interesting feature if one has multiple PCs in running one's house, I guess I'll have to rely on syncing via the online database or a transferred master backup file prior to reformatting my master PC. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

| I did what you said on my slave PC, sharing my master PC database with it as I had done with my iPad. It seems to work well. Syncs between the two PCs automatically. This is a bit different than syncing my iPad to my PC, which requires an extra step to initiate the sync. I'll have to play with it a bit, moving movies back and forth to feel confident enough to use it instead of syncing via the online database. It always amazes me how well designed and fully functional this app is. I'll be sad if I am forced to switch to another app to maintain iOS compatibility. Once again, thanks. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

The second PC can be loaded from an exported database from the master, or an uploaded online database, or synced to the master using the remote connection
While I understand the first two, please explain your "remote connection" comment. I know how to do that with my iPad but how do I do that with another PC? | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

| I had trouble having both PCs using the same OneDrive stored database, even at different times. I kept getting multiple entries in the database folder, so I moved both databases to their respective local drives. This seemed the safest thing to do. Of course now I will have to sync up the slave PC using the online database, just as I used to do with my iPad. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

Thanks. I'll be careful not to run DVDProfiler on both PCs at the same time and only sync my iPad to the "master". Of course when I decide to switch "master" PCs I assume I can then start syncing my iPad to the new "master". Correct?
My original "master" PC has a serious problem and I need to reformat its hard disk. I was hesitant to do this until I had another PC with DVDProfiler running since both PCs are actually iMacs running Bootcamp. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

| I have added a second PC (iMac running Bootcamp) running DVDProfiler to my home network, anticipating eventually switching over to it. What is the best way to sync them and my iPad up? The two PCs seem to be using the same OneDrive cloud storage. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 1191 |

| Just installed 17.6.1. No changes noticed from 17.5. 18 may be another story. Keep your fingers crossed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 10178 |

| In addition, make sure you typed the server name in properly on your iPad. It is at the bottom of the Windows DVDProfiler window. You can use the IP address instead, which is also at the bottom of the window. Try them both. One may work while the other won't. | Posted: Topic Replies: 49, Topic Views: 9251 |

Check your iPad DVD Profiler settings and make sure "local network" is switched on.
Also make sure your Windows PC local network is set to PRIVATE. See below on how to do this.

You have to have the Windows version of DVD Profiler running on your PC before you can sync to it from the iOS version.
In the Windows version, select "Synchronize with DVD Profiler Mobile" in the File menu and follow the diections. | Posted: Topic Replies: 49, Topic Views: 9251 |

Big mistake! Since the new server was installed, iOS upload doesn't work properly. You have three alternatives:
1. Wait and hope they will fix this,
2. Get the Windows version running on a PC or Intel Mac,
3. Switch to another app. See link below.

Check out this forum link for a recent discussion on DVD Profiler alternatives for iOS users.

I generally agree with you but since I primarily use my iPad at home and my iPhone while shopping, I have little choice but to search for a potential alternative iOS app. I'll keep using DVD Profiler as long as it keeps working in iOS, but I'm not willing to bet the farm that it is still usable after the iOS 18 upgrade. In addition, since Invelos recently screwed up syncing iOS devices to the online database, I worry that Invelos might also screw up syncing iOS devices to the PC version.
On a related note, by working with the other iOS app developers who want to court DVD Profiler users, we have a chance they will change their apps so as to make them more attractive to us. For example, MyMovies modified their import function. | Posted: Topic Replies: 57, Topic Views: 6513 |

I just started to play with CLZ Movies, but I suspect this will take some time to evaluate. While the import issues are very important, the app interfaces and usabilities are even more so. Each of these apps, DVD Profiler, MyMovies, iCollectMovies, MovieBuddy and CLZ Movies, have very different user interfaces and features, which will take some time to adjust to in order draw a conclusion. There are also the issues of their pricing structures and active support on the various platforms.
I would hope that other DVD Profiler users, particularly iOS users, are looking at them as well and will provide comments here. Sadly, let's face it, DVD Profiler, while a great app, does not have a bright future. As the organization previously known as the Boy Scouts used to say, "Be prepared". | Posted: Topic Replies: 57, Topic Views: 6513 |

| I'm still having issues with Box Sets in MyMovies, but I'm actively working with MyMovies to better understand Box Set import issues. This might take a few weeks to sort out, but I have to say they have been very responsive. I'll keep you posted. | Posted: Topic Replies: 57, Topic Views: 6513 |
