Hi, I'm having a problem exporting the database from my iPad to my iPhone. The specific problem is with regards to Images. I took the following steps:
ReplyDelete1) selected Export Database on iPad (this got stored in the export folder of iTunes filesharing with .sqlite file extension )
2) selected SAVE TO from iTunes file sharing (saved it to local directory on my mac)
3) selected my iPhone as the device in iTunes
4) Went to Apps | Filesharing | gFlash+ and clicked on the Add button to import the .sqlite file stored on my local directory.
5) Clicked on the Sync button to sync file with my iPhone
6) Pulled up gFlash+ on my iPhone in anticipation of viewing my personally created flash card sets
The Problem Encountered: all of my content is there as expected (nice!!) The only problem is that the images did not appear to get exported with the database so I only have little empty boxes where my images should be.
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help!
