Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
not sure if it still takes up space. i think it does actually as when i have looked on some occations the book is still there and i can still play it and i know that it isnt there on the book shelf of the library i got it from as the time has run out. i have reinstalled the app several times as well. i guess i can deal with it but it would be a lot easier if that bit worked. lol. > On 28 Jul 2015, at 21:30, Daniel McGee wrote: > > Hi Rachael, so does the book still take up the storage of the book on your > device?

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
I did not like Overdrive for the Mac or I phone although did use it in the trial a few times. One of the reasons I'm not an RNIB Talking book subscriber. However, I got a Victor Stream 2 Gen so I may change my mind once I have mastered the Stream. At least you can put the SSD card in the Mac. Kawal.

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
Hi Daniel, It’s not a limitation between Mac and iOS, it’s a limitation of Overdrive for Mac full stop. It wouldn’t work on the Mac if your second device was a PC rather than an iPhone. I googled the problem when I was having it, and it was posted as an FAQ by one of the commercial audio book sellers who also use the Overdrive platform.

Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question
Hi Edward yes, that's exactly what I meant but I'm glad to know that it's a limatation that I wasn't going mad trying to get it to sync from iPhone to Mac. If you don't mind me asking, how do you know 1st hand that it's a limatation between Mac and iOS? Rachael, I haven't gotten around to returning an audiobook yet but just in case I run into the problem you have, an I right in that a simple closed and open again from the app switcher gets rid of the books after there expiration date? If so, I can live with that, just as long as the books free up the storage space I'll be happy. Can think of nothing worse than books being deleted and not returning the storage space that was once taken up by then. We're talking 16gb I devices here too. P.S. If I can't use Mac and iPhone, no worries, I'll continue to use iPad and iPhone, as that works quite nicely. :) Daniel > On 28 Jul 2015, at 18:51, RACHEL & DAMIEN wrote: > > i could never get it to sink between my ipad and mac. also, i thought the > overdrive on the iphone was supposed to delete the books when the time runs > out. mine doesnt and i feel i have to reload the app every so often to get > rid of the titles on there. >> On 28 Jul 2015, at 18:49, Edward Green wrote: >> >> Hi Daniel, >> >> Do you mean being able to resume playback on the Mac from where you left off >> on your iDevice? >> >> If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do it. >> >> Cheers, >> >> Ed >>> On 28 Jul 2015, at 12:21, Daniel McGee wrote: >>> >>> Dear all, since last week, I have been using the RNIB Overdrive service for >>> a one month trial and so far, I'm enjoying the experience. >>> >>> I have just one question for those who may use it. >>> >>> Currently, I find the syncing works pretty well between iPhone and iPad but >>> can anyone confirm that they got it to work successfully from Mac back to >>> one of the above devices and vice verser again? >>> >>> I realise that this is a shot in the dark, so to speak because this is >>> primarily for UK users but thought I'd ask here just in case. >>> >>> Many thanks >>> >>> Daniel >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "MacVisionaries" group. >>> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >>> email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >>> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >>> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "MacVisionaries" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi Daniel, Do you mean being able to resume playback on the Mac from where you left off on your iDevice? If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do it.

RNIB Overdrive syncing question
Dear all, since last week, I have been using the RNIB Overdrive service for a one month trial and so far, I'm enjoying the experience. I have just one question for those who may use it. Currently, I find the syncing works pretty well between iPhone and iPad but can anyone confirm that they got it to work successfully from Mac back to one of the above devices and vice verser again? I realise that this is a shot in the dark, so to speak because this is primarily for UK users but thought I'd ask here just in case.
