| | Posted: | | | | Hi all.
I do all my entering and deleting on my Desktop, then upload the Database and then download it on my Phone.
Recently I spent a bit of time entering six months of Watched Discs Film data on my phone only to have it all wiped out the next time I updated the collection on the phone from the database uploaded from the Desktop
Is there a way to avoid this? I was thinking I should upload the database from my phone after entering the Watched data. Would the information then stay in the database after I update from the Desktop or will this erase it all again?
Can I enter the Watched data on the Desktop somehow? I couldn't find that anywhere.
Thank you. |

| | Posted: | | | | The prefered way of transfering data between the iOS app and the desktop is via Wi-Fi, not through your online collection. Two things you need to do for this to work: 1) In the desktop program, go to Tools/Options/Sharing and enable sharing. 2) In the iOS profiler, go to the Databases tab and click Databases and then Change Connection Type, then click the top option ( Connect to DVD Profiler for PC). Now you should be able to synchronize directly against the desktop. But before you do that I suggest that you take a backup of your desktop database, just to be safe. Quote:
