iCloud synced logbook

Unread post by BMWrider »

I just opened the RUMlogNG app on my MacBook Pro and the logbook is completely empty. However, I can see the entries on my iPhone. The file on my iPhone is current as when I opened it, it updated to include the QSOs I had from last night. On the MacBook Pro, when I try selecting iCloud synced logbook -> Use it, the option is grayed out. How can I recover the iCloud synced logbook to my MacBook Pro?

The menu item will become active, when the main logging window has the focus.
What shows the logging window title row?
Are you still connected and logged in into your iCloud?

Yesterday, I somehow lost connectivity with all of my email accounts (they were disabled), all of my offline email folders disappeared, and although I could access my iCloud drive, System Settings showed I was logged out. I finally shut/re-started the laptop, signed-in to iCloud, rebuilt the mailboxes, re-enabled all my email accounts and this morning, the iCloud synced logbook reappeared. I had used Clean My Mac to uninstall some programs and delete what it called "leftovers" and I think it deleted something it shouldn't have and corrupted the system. All looks to be good now.

Make sure you backup your logbook frequently. You have no full control over the iCloud synced logbook!

Hello Thomas,

I had to do a clean iMac OS install on a SSD. Already installed RUMlogNG again. Is it OK to select iCould "Use it" ? Or will the logbook been updated with the empty logbook from the New RUMlogNG installation so the iCloud logbook will be empty too?

Thanks Vincent

I guess, the log will be filled with data from iCloud. You should keep us informed.

I'll Do!

EDIT: Yes, I see all contact's after adding the iCloud logbook! Great. Only need to re-set some settings in the preferences. Which is no problem :)

Thanks!
