Import New Tune From Editor [OLD THREAD]

**lydian91** · 10-03-2010, 06:33 PM

Hi,

I'm having some trouble importing a new tune (that I created in the editor) to my iPod Touch. In the editor I click the "song to device button," and while the blue underlined link shows up on my computer, it is not blue and underlined on my iPod. This, however, is off and on, and it sometimes will work. When the link does work, I select it to import it, but when it shows up on my iPod screen, it is only a blank page with the title (the chord symbols and barlines mysteriously disappear). When I select the link from my computer, the file opens in the editor just fine with all chords intact.

Here is the link (It may not work, so let me know if it can't be opened):

irealbook://Rise%20And%20Shine%3DGlasper%20Robert%3DEven%208th 's%3DF%3Dn%3D%7B*AT44F%5E7%20Db%5E7%20%7CBb-7%20G-7%20%7CD%5E7%20G-7%20%7Cpppp%7CDb%5E7%20sC%5E7%20%7CT24lF%5E7%20p%2 0%7CT44Bb-11%20G-11%20%7Cpppp%7C%7CN1G-11%20D-11%20%7Cpppp%7D%7CN2Db%5E7%20C7%239%235%20%7Cpppp% 5D%5B*BF-11%20%20%20%7C%20x%20%20%7C%20%20%20r%7C%20%20%20% 20%7C%20%20%20r%7C%20%20%20%20%7C%20%20%20r%7C%3CS olos%20AABB%3E%20%20%20U%20%5D%3CAfter%20solos%2C% 20play%20head%2C%20then%20vamp%20B%20till%20fade%3 E%20

Hmmm I am not sure what the problem is.
Are you running the current version of Mac editor? (v0.6.4)
And either v2.6 or v3 iReal book on your iPod touch?
And your iPod touch iOS4.1?
And are you using Apple Mail to send the email from your Mac editor to your iPod touch?

When you collect the email on your iPod, it should look like iReal book song code, all in blue and underlined. Just tap on it (do not copy/paste) and iReal book should open and import it.

Does anything here help you?

I am running v0.6.4 of the Mac editor, v3 of iReal book, iOS4.1, and Apple Mail.

I did a clean reinstall of both the app and the Mac editor, and I can now transfer consistently (the blue and underlined text now shows up); however, when I open the files, they still show up as blank pages with the title. Any ideas?

Is this your tune?

Rise And Shine by Robert Glasper

I need to try to figure out what is happening, but let me know if this is the tune.

Also is this the only tune you are having problems with or are all of them faulting?

**lydian91** · 10-04-2010, 07:21 AM

Yes, that is the tune; however, any tune I create faults when I import it.

We will contact you personally as there is additional information we might need from you. Sorry about the problems.

I have the same issue: Trying to send a song or playlist via email I get only code in the body of the message (an not as an attachement):

irealbook://Der%20Mond%20Ist%20Aufgegangen%3DSchulz%20Johann%2 0Abraham%20Peter%3DBallad%3DF%3Dn%3D%5BT44F%20Bb%2 0%7CC%20F%20%7C%20%20Bb%20%7CC%20D-%20%7CF%20Bb%20%7CC%20%20%20%7CF%20Bb%20%7CC%20F%2 0%7C%7C%20%20Bb%20%7CC%20D-%20%7CF%20Bb%20%7CC%20fF%2CU%3C3x%3E

When sending this to my iPhone it looks the same there and I am not able to import it to iRealbook.

I use Apple Mail version 4.4 and the newest version of iRealbook
Thanks in advance
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
just check your version of Mac editor is 0.6.4 also.
There are problems with using gmail and probably hotmail email accounts as the song code can be corrupted. Are you using either of these? We recommend using perhaps your ISP's email system for transferring.
If you need to, you can transfer temporarily to our forum Sandbox (using Playlist to forums,) then connect to there from your iOS device...make sure to delete your post after you have transferred it. As this is a temporary transfer area, we purge posts regularly.

You mention seeing the code in your email and not an attachment, this is correct. It is our code. Normally you would tap on it on your iOS device and iReal book should open and import.

Has any of this helped you? thanks.

Along the way a couple of spaces were inserted in the code string (probably when wrapped to the next line by your email system. edit out the spaces:
Der Mond Ist Aufgegangen by Schulz Johann Abraham Peter
